Reting Monastery sprawled gracefully across the flank fo a juniper-clad hill in the Rong-chu Valley.Like Ganden Monastery,it was devastated by Red Guards and its present remains hammer home the tragic waste caused by Red guards and its present remains hammer home the tragic waste caused by the ideological zeal of the Cultural Revolution.Still ,the site is one of  the most beautiful in the region.The Dalai Lama has stated that should he ever return to Tibet it is at Reting not Lhasa, that he would like to reside.
