Chuiba Monastery, one of the three Cheba monasteries, stood west of the Taozhou garrison in the uplands of the Tao River region. In 1467 a monk known as Awang Laobu came from Tibet and gathered more than a hundred monks to build a temple at Guwuta, near Lizitan. The monastery was later destroyed in unrest and rebuilt in 1509. Two further temples, Luba and Jiangke, were founded beside the Tao in 1522, and together with Chuiba became known as the three Cheba monasteries.
