Ganzi Temple is a large-scale Tibetan Buddhist Gelug monastery in Ganzi Prefecture, with a history of nearly 350 years. It is located on a herringbone-shaped hillside in the north of Ganzi County, facing south and built on the mountain. It is a typical Tibetan and Han temple. The huge and dense building complex is magnificent and solemn. The main hall is a civil structure, with a bottom and four floors, cornices at the four corners, with distinct layers, covered with glazed tiles, copper vase, copper Ruyi, etc., which are very national characteristics. The main buildings of the monastery include a large scripture hall, 10 small scripture halls, a Maitreya hall, and 550 monks "Zhacang" (monk house) evenly distributed around each hall. The organization is rigorous and well-proportioned. Below the monastery is a denser group of dwellings, surrounding the temple, reflecting the temple's status above the world. The top floor of the main hall is a palace-style square pavilion, with cornices at four corners, glazed tiles glittering in the sun, and the weather is extraordinary. It is also a very beautiful thing to enjoy the beautiful scenery of Ganzi on the platform of Ganzi Temple in the evening.
