It is under the administration of the Ngawa Tibetan and Qiang Autonomous Prefecture.

It is located in the remote northwestern part of the prefecture, on the border with Qinghai (to the northwest) and Gansu (to the north).

Following Phuntsok's self-immolation, hundreds of monks from the same monastery, Kirti monastery in Ngaba County, and other local residents staged another protest.
