The Shado-Pan Monastery is a new dungeon in Mists of Pandaria. The dungeon is located in the northwest region Kun-Lai Summit, up a winding trail from Winter's Blossom. A number of grummle traders are being refused entry by the guards.

The dungeon is home of the Shado-Pan clan's training grounds, a faction of pandaren who are dedicated to protecting Pandaria. The Sha are roaming around, looking to destroy the facility. In fact, the Sha have corrupted the trainees of the Shado-Pan Monastery and it is up to players to free them of their corruption.
