Qutan Temple is a Tibetan Buddhist temple.

Introduction

Valuable relics and large-scale colored paintings hidden inside the temple are well-known by many people. They are all made of pure wood structure, very quaint. Compared to Tashi Lhunpo Monastery, Qutan Monastery seems very quiet, only when a breeze blows, the copper bells under the eaves will make a sound. However, the dust of history cannot hide its brilliance at all. It is worth visiting this quaint and unique temple.
