Gonlung is one of four famous Tibetan monasteries (Chuzang, Serkhog, Jakhyung and Gonlung) in north-east Qinghai, earlier considered as a border area between Tibet and China.
In 1724 the monastery was destroyed by the Manchus during the suppression of Lhazang Khan[clarification needed] (a Mongol Khoshut ruler, killed by Dzungars in 1717), but rebuilt in 1732.[1]
