The p>7-square-kilometer Mulberry Grassland is one of the most important animal husbandry producing areas in Gannan.

The 15th day of June in the lunar calendar is the best time for sightseeing in the Mulberry Grassland. At this time, it is the local traditional festival Xianglang Festival. People dress up to pray for the coming year, and at the same time, various folk rituals are also carried out.
A visit to Gannan is destined to be a deep journey of humanity and beauty. In addition to Labuleng Temple and langmusi, there are many scenic spots in Gannan that can't be missed. For example, Zhagana, a world-renowned independent temple, and the nine-color Shambhala in Gahai Lake, a bird kingdom, feel the beauty of sacredness and tranquility.
Because Gannan is a vast place with few people, scattered scenic spots and inconvenient transportation, the distance between different scenic spots in the same scenic spot is also quite different. If possible, it is recommended to rent a car to travel, which is convenient and free. For safety and financial reasons, it is best to go together, which can share the fare and take care of each other.
what are the top ten scenic spots in Gannan? Can you be specific?
The top ten scenic spots in Gannan are Labuleng Temple, langmusi, Sanke Grassland, Dacang Langmu Temple, Mirage Bafo Pavilion, Maqu Grassland, the first bend of the Yellow River in the world, Dangzhou Grassland Scenic Area, Baishiya and Zhagana.
1. Labrang Temple
One of the six monasteries of the Gelug Sect of Tibetan Buddhism, the most famous Tibetan Institute in the world has the most complete teaching system of Tibetan Buddhism in China. The temple is large in scale. There are magnificent temple buildings here, which are dedicated to countless giant Buddha statues and various exquisite sculptures, murals and utensils.
The ultra-long warp-turning corridor of Labrang Temple is rare in the world. There are more than 2, warp-turning cylinders, and it takes at least one hour to turn each one. There is an ancient wooden bridge in the southwest corner of Labrang Temple, which crosses the Xiahe River and goes up the mountain. Standing on the sun-drying platform, you can have a panoramic view of Labrang Temple.
Second, langmusi
The temples located in Gansu Province are called "Dacang langmusi", also known as "Saichi Temple". They are built on the hillside, mostly with golden roofs, and are tall and verve. There is a celestial burial platform behind the temple, which is the only celestial burial platform allowed to visit in Gannan area. On the way, you can see the red cliff, which is strewn at random.
Amdo is an important temple next to Ta 'er Temple and Labrang Temple, and it is very popular to give lectures and study classics.
3. Mulberry grassland
Mulberry grassland is a natural pasture for Tibetan people, with abundant water plants, green pastures in summer, flocks of cattle and sheep under blue sky and white clouds, and a natural pastoral scenery. Entering the grassland to play is mainly to participate in Tibetan music activities, such as eating yogurt, grabbing mutton, Ciba and other foods in Tibetan bags, participating in bonfire parties, jumping in pot houses and other activities.
The horse racing festival here is very famous. Every year on the 13th day of the seventh lunar month, the seven tribes of Sankoh will hold the Jockey Club here. At that time, herders from all over the world gather and tents are like clouds, which is very lively.
Ten classic scenic spots worth visiting in Gannan must be collected if you haven't been there.
Here, I want to introduce the Gannan area in Gansu. In my mind, the beauty of Gannan is always inseparable from flocks of cattle and sheep, clear lake water, blue sky, fresh air, endless prairie, profound Tibetan culture and Tibetan temples everywhere, giving people a kind of beauty, magic, purity and holiness.
But Gannan is so big and has so many beautiful scenery. Friends who come to visit are always limited in time. Many times, they always miss some classic scenic spots. Here, I would like to introduce 1 classic tourist attractions in Gannan for my friends' reference!
Friends who haven't been there, if you have seen the movie world without thieves, think about the place where silly root (Wang Baoqiang) built a temple, and you should have an impression in your mind.
The Labrang Temple is large in scale, rugged and generous in architecture, simple and elegant, stable and durable. In Tibetan, it is called "Gadan Xiazhu Dargy Zhaxi Yisuqi has a beautiful place", which means a right-handed temple with happiness, talk, repair and prosperity. Referred to as Zhaxiqi Temple, it is generally called Labrang Temple.
1. Lama must not take photos, especially don't use flashlights, when reciting sutras in Dajingtang. If you really want to take pictures, you'd better ask the Lama for permission.
2. The toilet in Labrang Temple is hard to find. I suggest you go to the toilet next to the ticket office before entering the temple.
3. The museum and butter sculpture Pavilion are in the same courtyard, which is definitely worth visiting.
4. If you don't go into the Grand Sutra Hall and just look at the exterior of Labrang Temple or just stroll around, you don't have to buy a ticket, because the temple is very big and has no fence, and the roads are all public passages, and the small courtyards on both sides of the road are monasteries in the temple. Sometimes I hear the sound of chanting.
In short, it's good that you have an awe of other people's culture and beliefs. In fact, the taboo of Tibetan Buddhism is basically the same as that of other religions, so there is no need to worry about it. Use your conscience and morality to measure what you can do and what you can't do.
The place of Sankoh Grassland is about 11 kilometers away from Labuleng Temple. If you have time after your visit to Labuleng Temple, I suggest you go to Sankoh Grassland and have a look. On this endless grassland, you can ride a horse, have a good time and roar at will, and feel bored. ! !
If you want to say where the natural scenery in Gannan is the most beautiful, Zhagana takes the second place, and no other place dares to take the first place! Zhagana, which means "stone box" in Tibetan, is a natural and complete stone city, and its landform is like a huge palace on a large scale, which is a natural wonder. Zhagana Scenic Area is a collection of stone forest, steep peaks, forests, pastoral areas and villages. It is located in Diebu County, Gannan Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture. It is a small Tibetan village wrapped in a beautiful cliff. The scenery is beautiful and fantastic. The ancient wooden houses in the village are built along the mountain. Tibetans work quietly and simply between the rivers on the hillside, forming a wonderful pastoral scenery. No matter sightseeing, photography or visiting the traditional life of the simple Tibetan people, it is a wonderful place not to be missed!

Langmusi Town is a small town under the jurisdiction of luqu, Gannan. The town is not just a temple in langmusi, but consists of "Amdo Dacang langmusi" in Gansu and "Geerdi Temple" in Sichuan.
In Langmusi town, it is always covered with light clouds and mist all year round. Walking in the town, I feel that I have become clean. Looking from a distance, the mountains are so mysterious and the valleys are so deep. At that time, cattle and sheep, flowers and meadows are hidden, and I feel that I am the only one between heaven and earth. Even the noise from time to time in the town seems to be given by my ears.
opening hours: the best time to travel all day: June-September, and July is the most blooming time!
Zoige Flower Lake is a natural Haizi on the grassland of Ger Dam. The reed on the shore of the lake is dense, and it is named Huahu because of a kind of white floret in full bloom in the lake. It is also the best place to watch the black-necked crane, a national first-class protected animal.
especially suitable for photography! Walking on the plank road of Huahu Lake, watching the wild geese dancing and enjoying the flowers blooming, it is simple and quiet, but it makes you burn and move your heart. This is Huahu Lake, enchanting Huahu Lake in Zoige

You can go up with steps or ride a horse to 5 yuan, which is the best place to watch the sunset glow in the first bay. This place, with many islands, red willows and colorful trees, is full of charm, especially at dusk, where there is the charm of "sunset and lonely Qi Fei, autumn water * * * sky is one color".
The opening hours are 1-3 hours.
Tallinn, Wache means "big tent" in Tibetan. There is a place to commemorate the 1th Panchen Lama's chanting and praying in Tallinn, Wache. There are continuous prayer flags around Tallinn, which is particularly spectacular. For friends who like photography, rows of white pagodas and contiguous prayer flags are very good themes and definitely one of the scenic spots not to be missed.
In the "beauty pageant China" held by chinese national geography in 28, Maqu Wetland Group with Awancang Gongsaierka wood road Wetland as the core was awarded the first place in "Five Most Beautiful Grassland Wetlands in China". Some international wetland experts have given a very high evaluation-this is the most primitive, well-preserved and best peat land in the world, and it is the best example of the combination of natural heritage and human cultural heritage with unique characteristics! ! !
Opening hours: open all day
Tips: Seda Buddhist College: The full name is Wuming Buddhist College of Larong Temple in Seda County, which is wrongly called Wuming Buddhist College (there are Wuming Buddhist College in many big temples)
Seda Larong Wuming Buddhist College was founded in 198 by King Pengcuo of Jinmei, and it rose rapidly from the depths of a valley in Tibetan areas in several years, becoming the largest Tibetan Buddhist college in the world. More than 3, monks and nuns practice and live here. Here, regardless of men, women and children, regardless of day or night, you can always hear the sweet Zen sound of chanting. Before dawn, many monks and pilgrims are turning around Tancheng and turning the prayer wheel. The practitioners here have faith as deep as the bone marrow!
Opening hours are 13:3-15:
Tips: Celestial burial refers to feeding the dead bodies to vultures. After the vulture died, it flew into the sky, while Tibetans thought that the deceased ascended to heaven smoothly. After death, people died for a few days and asked lamas to chant Buddhist scripture and choose a funeral day. Teacher zang immediately stripped the body of clothes, dismembered the body according to certain procedures, and stripped the bones. Finally, the vultures are whistled and fed separately according to the order of bone and meat.
going to the celestial burial platform in Seda may start, or it may take several hours. Because there is no celestial burial platform in some places, people in several Tibetan areas around Seda will come to the celestial burial platform for celestial burial after their death. At most, there are more than 1 corpses every day, ranging from 2 to 3 corpses every day. However, not all people are celestial burials, and different burial methods will be divided according to different identities and deaths. The core is the immortality of the soul.
When you arrive at the Tianzang Terrace, you must have a certain psychological endurance. The celestial burial terrace surrounded by yellow walls, the Yamaraja cave full of skulls and the forwarding wheel full of hair all give people strong psychological pressure, and the air is filled with a peculiar smell.
Tian zang is a very solemn and sacred thing for Tibetans. When watching, it is best not to take photos, take photos, tell people what to do or talk loudly!
The above ten scenic spots are relatively classic tourist attractions in Gannan, which I personally think are highly recommended for friends who visit Gannan!
