Tsongkha valley (Amdo)

The Tsongkha valley lies in the Amdo region of northeastern Tibet, in modern Qinghai province, China. It was the birthplace, in 1357, of Tsongkhapa, the reformer and scholar who founded the Gelug school of Tibetan Buddhism; the great Kumbum Monastery was later built near his birthplace.
