A comprehensive exploration of the rich and often overlooked cultural heritage of eastern Tibet. Focusing on the Kham regions located within present-day Qinghai Province, Andreas Gruschke documents an extraordinary landscape of monasteries, temples, sacred sites, and historical monuments that stand at the crossroads of Tibetan history, religion, and regional identity. Based on extensive field research, the book combines meticulous architectural description with historical and cultural analysis, shedding light on sites that have received little scholarly attention.
