Paoma shan monastery
Paoma shan monastery

Kangding (康定; Kāngdìng; Tibetan:དར་མདོ།, Dardo), is the largest city and capital of Ganzi (Garzê) Tibetan Prefecture, in western Sichuan Province, China  ~Wikitravel

This monastery is located at the top of Paoma shan (Paoma mountain) in Kangding. It sits at almost 3000m above sea level. I was there last year and this is one of my favourite places I visited. It was very peaceful, beautiful and spiritual. I remember this place clearly because this is also where the monks were generous enough to invite me to have lunch with them as they ate in the garden.

This place is also famous for a folk song known as the Kangding Love song which refers to Paoma shan.
