Tongren Attractions
Tong Ren attractions focus on Tibetan monasteries. Among the dozens of monasteries in the region, Longwu Monastery and the Wutun Upper and Lower monasteries are the most famous. Another feature of Tong Ren is the Thangkas paintings, which give Tong Ren a name in the Tibetan world. Tong Ren is the birthplace of Thangkas paintings, and the villages around the town are all involved in this ancient art.
The Tong Ren Saman Festival is one of the most amazing religious rituals. China Highlights offers a tour to Tong Ren each year to coincide with the Shaman Festival.
