Jintasi Temple — officially Dusum Nyiwo Monastery — is a Tibetan Buddhist temple founded in 1390 in what was then a rural setting north of the original Xining town. The city has long since swallowed the surrounding landscape, but the temple continues to function as an active monastery with resident monks, sitting in a courtyard enclosed by apartment buildings on all sides.
The temple is a branch of Kumbum and follows the Gelug tradition. It is smaller and quieter than Kumbum itself — a neighbourhood monastery rather than a major pilgrimage site — and gives a more intimate sense of how Tibetan Buddhist practice operates as part of daily city life. The main hall has good murals and the courtyard is pleasant to sit in. Free admission; located in the Chengxi district.
