The architectural construction of the monastery is amazing. The main style is Chinese while it combines little Tibetan and Mongolian architecture. During 1930s the monastery was destroyed by the communists. The monastery was being restored by UNESCO from 1975 until reopening in 1990. At the present moment 30 monks live here within the age range of 7-90. There is big number of young monks (13) in between the age of 7 and 13, who have for a great part been picked up from orphanages around Mongolia. In the main temple is a life-size statue of Guru Deva Rinpoche who is the formal abbot of the monastery although he is only there a short time a year. From 1992 he has been putting effort in restoring temples, statues and scriptures. A couple of new monuments – golden Buddhist statue and a stupa –are situated on the hills behind the monastery.
