Ta'er Lamasery
塔尔寺
Ta'er Lamasery derives its name from the Golden-roofed Lamasery's silver tower built in memory of Zongkaba, the founder of Huangjiao (the Yellow Section). The silver tower is called "Gunbenxianbalin', in Tibetan, meaning "a Maitreya Lamasery where 100 000 lions roar at a Buddha Portrait. " Ta'er Lamasery is located in the Lianhuashan (Lotus) Mountain Valley in the southwest of Lusha'er Township in Huangzhong County. It is the most important sight-seeing sport of Qinghai and one of the cultural relics under the state protection.
塔尔寺得名于大金瓦寺内为纪念黄教创始人宗喀巴而建的大银塔，藏语称为“衮本贤巴林”，意思是“十万狮子吼佛像的弥勒寺”。塔尔寺位于湟中县城鲁沙尔镇西南方的莲花山山谷中。它是青海观光运动中最重要的并是全国重点文物保护单位之一。
