## About Wudang Lamasery (Wudangzhao)

Wudang Lamasery (Wudangzhao) is the only purely Tibetan-style temple in Inner Mongolia. Together with the Potala Palace in Tibet and Kumbum Monastery in Qinghai, it is regarded as one of China's three great Tibetan Buddhist monasteries. The complex consists of one mausoleum, three palaces, eight halls and ninety-nine residential halls. The largest building in the monastery is the Sugu Qin Palace.
A small hill beside the monastery has a pavilion from which you can take in the full view of Wudangzhao.
