Rebgong is located in the Amdo Tibetan region in northwestern China, and is well-known for its Tibetan Thangka art. Tibetan Thangka serves as important tool of teaching and meditation in Tibetan Buddhism. Currently, Tibetan Thangka painting is part of, and circulates within China's national art market. However, the quality of the Thangka painting and the traditional way of Thangka learning have been challenged by the market economy. Choejor, the director of the Thangka art school, is experimenting revolutionary ideas by accepting female students and Han-ethinc students who were prohibited to learn Thangka in tradition, and has been exploring ways to make the transmission of Thangka art culturally and economically sustainable.
