Chengguan, Chamdo

Chengguan (Tibetan: ཁྲེང་ཀོན་གྲོང་རྡལ, Wylie: Khreng kon grong rdal, ZYPY: Chênggoin Chongdai; Chinese: 城关镇; pinyin: Chéngguān Zhèn) is a major town in the historical region of Kham in the eastern Tibet Autonomous Region of China.

Galden Jampaling Monastery was constructed between 1436 and 1444 by a disciple of Tsongkhapa, Jansem Sherab Zangpo.

[6] It was destroyed in 1912 but the main hall (which was used as a prison) and two other buildings survived, and it was rebuilt in 1917 after the Tibetan army retook Chengguan.

[7][8] Chengguan experiences a climate that is a transition between a humid continental and subtropical highland climate (Köppen Dwb and Cwb), with warm, wet summers and very dry, frosty winters.

Due to the high elevation, the diurnal temperature variation is large throughout the year, averaging 16.0 °C (28.8 °F) annually.
