The local monastery, Tsogon Geden Choling on the outskirts of the town Tso མཚོ་རྫོང་ (Ch Hezuo) has a nine-story tower replica of Sekhar Gutok, which dominates the skyline. The original foundation of this monastery is dated 1673 and an inspirational self-originated image of Milarepa, which had been offered by Shar Kalden Gyatso of Repkong to the local lama GyeltsenSenge (the 53rd Ganden Tripa) was installed in 1678. The complex was first renovated as a nine-story building in 1888 by Lobzang Dargye, himself revered an incarnation of Milarepa, and it survived until its destruction during the Cultural Revolution (1967). The newly constructed tower, funded by local resources as wellas by donations from Mongolia and Tibetan exiles in India, was built between 1988 and 1994. The other destroyed temples in the complex have yet to be restored. Nowadays, there are 200 monks in residence here.
