Brief Introduction：
Xalhu Monastery is located 20 kilometers southeast of Xigaze. It is a monastery for the Xalhu sect of Tibetan Buddhism. The architectural style of Xalhu Monastery is different from other monasteries because it combines the styles of a Tibetan hall with a Han ceiling. The Xalhu Monastery is famous for its elaborate Yuan Dynasty-style murals. The murals are mainly on corridor walls, with Buddhist stories as the main content. The murals are separated into distinct parts with different scenes and ancient Tibetan scriptures in rectangular frameworks. The people, animals, and plants in the murals are vivid, and primitive. The four great treasures of the Xalhu monastery include: the printing plate of Buddhist scriptures, the Holy jar, the huge basin-shaped stone, and the stone tablet with six characters.
