Visiting Gannan is destined to be an in-depth cultural and beautiful journey.

In addition to the two signature temples, Labrang Temple and Langmusi, there are many scenic spots in Gannan that are not to be missed, such as the independent Zhagana, the Bird Kingdom, Gahai Lake, and the nine-color Shambhala to feel the sacred and tranquil beauty.

Due to Gannan's vast territory and sparsely populated areas, the scenic spots are scattered and the transportation is inconvenient. Within the same scenic area, the distances between different scenic spots are 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 travel in groups, both to share the fare and to look after each other.

Take you to the beautiful Labrang Monastery. In the summer vacation of 2017, my friends and I went to Gannan together. We signed up for a tour group and the tour guide was Sister Xiaoqi. She was very nice and did not take us to buy anything.

There are many things, but it gives us enough time to take photos at scenic spots and eat local snacks.

Labrang Monastery is located in Xiahe County, Gannan Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Gansu Province. Its full name in Tibetan is: "Gaden Xia Zhu Darji Zhaxi Yisu Qi Julang", which means Juxi Lectures and Xingxiang Xiuxuan Monastery.

It is called Tashiqi Temple for short and is generally called Labrang Temple.

Labrang Monastery is the altered pronunciation of "Lazhang" in Tibetan, which means the residence of the living Buddha master.

It is one of the six major monasteries of the Gelug sect of Tibetan Buddhism and is known as the "World Tibetan Academy".

At its peak, the number of monks reached more than 4,000, and it began to open to foreign tourists in 1980.

This information can be found by everyone. I want to tell you my thoughts after going there.

When I eat and shop there, I feel that the people there are hospitable, simple and honest. Unlike other places where prices in tourist attractions are always higher than in other places.

Below is a photo I took of Labrang Monastery. As you can see from the photo, I took the photo with the sun in front of me. The ultraviolet rays there are relatively strong. If anyone wants to go, be sure to wear thicker sunscreen.

Bring a UV-protective umbrella.

Since photography is not allowed inside the temple, I took few photos.

I remember that as soon as I entered, I turned the prayer wheel in a big circle.
