The name is an allusion to its great height (12,369 ft.), as well as to its high rank amongst the monasteries. It was built, according to Ssanang Ssetsen's "History of the Eastern Mongolians" (edited by I. J. Schmidt, St. Petersburg, 1829, p. 53), as early as 1014 A.D., and it is still remarkably well preserved. Its various temples and establishments extend over a large surface and are enclosed by a common wall, though not strong enough to be called a fortification; the lay brothers, chiefly cultivators, live outside the wall. The head Lama, called Khanpo, is appointed by the Dalai Lama's government, and remains in office from three to six years.
