The monastery lies at Chamdo Town, founded in 1444 by one of Tsong Khapa's disciples. The monastery usually keeps close relationship with past Chinese governments. It now still keeps a brass seal granted to its abbot by Emperor Kangxi. Well preserved, Chambaling has hundreds of statues of Buddhas and great adepters, thousands square meters of murals, and magnificent Thangkas, which represent the highest artistic level in kham. The most famous feature of the monastery is its religious dancing, which is characterized with ferocious and living masks, elegant postures, gorgeous costumes and grant scenes.
