Khumbum monastery is situated in China.

Kumbum Monastery (also spelled Khumbum or Ta’er Monastery in Chinese) is a prominent Tibetan Buddhist monastery located in Huangzhong County, Qinghai Province, China. It is one of the most important monasteries of the Gelug school and holds historical significance as the birthplace of Je Tsongkhapa, the founder of the Gelug tradition. Although culturally Tibetan, its present-day location is within the administrative boundaries of China.

The other great monasteries of the Gelug school are Ganden, Sera, and Drepung (all historically in Tibet, now within China). Khumbum is renowned for its unique butter sculptures, frescoes, and barbola embroidery.
