Changzhu Temple is an ancient Buddhist monastery located in Changzhu village 5km south of Tsedang on the road to Yumbi Lakang in Tibet. Very little remains of the temple which was thought to have been founded in the 7th century, during the reign of King Songtsen Gampo. The original temple was made from wood and thatch but in the 14th century it was rebuilt and enlargened and turned into a monastery that supported 300 monks. Changzhu monastery contained numerous halls including a Great Hall which closely resembled that of the Jokhang Temple in Lhasa. The hall was famous for its grand bell and sublime statuary. In the forecourt of the temple the immense pillars and massive beams of the 14th century entrance can still be seen and one small temple still remains in the inner courtyard. Its centrepiece is a splendid old banner embroidered in almost 30,000 pearls representing Chenrezi in repose. Restored in the 1980s, Changzhu Temple is now a repository for ancient religious objects of value that have been found throughout Tibet.
