The Krasnochikoysky district is one of the most beautiful places in Zabaikalye. Ethnically the largest part of population is Russian (descendants of Cossacks and old believers) and Buryats (descendants of the aboriginals), which creates the unique character of the district with its beautiful houses and bright national attires.

Aginsk datsan was founded in 1811 and sanctified in 1816. Currently the general education level of the Aginsk datsan matches the leading monasteries in Tibet, Mongolia and Buryatia. Here, the monks engage in publishing and translating. Extensive construction of altar rooms facilitated development of traditional Buryat art and architecture. Buddhism was an important factor in formation of Buryat morals, national traditions and customs.

Zabaikalye has many places of striking pristine beauty. Tsugolsky datsan is one of the jewels of Buryat and Buddhist culture in our region.
