This is a beautiful sky temple in Lhasa without tourists!

Many tourists don’t know about this place. They all say that there are three major monasteries in Lhasa. I think Ganden is more shocking, more majestic and more beautiful than Sera and Drepung. If you want to go, please remember my experience: About transportation: Every morning at 6:30 am, there will be pilgrimage buses to various suburban temples at the intersection in front of the Jokhang Temple. When I arrived at 6:30, a bus to Ganden Monastery had already been dispatched. When I went there today, I was the only outsider on the bus, and the rest were local Tibetan herdsmen who were there to worship. It should be noted that the bus only accepts RMB and does not accept WeChat transfers. The round-trip price is 50 yuan. 2 About tickets: Many temples in Lhasa now charge admission to outsiders. The most expensive one is Jokhang Temple, which costs 80 RMB, and Ganden Monastery, which costs 50 RMB. Fortunately, the entire bus was full of pilgrims today, and the driver did not betray me. Haha, I got in by blending in with the Tibetans. You should know that it is free for Tibetans to worship in these temples in Tibet. 3 About the weather: It has been cloudy and rainy in Lhasa these days, but the weather here changes very quickly. It was raining when we went up the mountain in the morning, but the clouds and fog cleared at 11 o'clock in the morning. The temperature up there is a bit low, so it is recommended that you bring a slightly thicker coat. This is the rainy season in Lhasa, so you can bring an umbrella according to the weather forecast. 4. About the temple where the cow is: 5 About the scenery here: The altitude this Thursday is between 4200m and 4300m. If you have severe altitude sickness, it is recommended not to come. If you don't have altitude sickness, you must come here! In addition to this unique temple built on the top of the mountain, there is also a hillside that looks to be six or seven hundred meters high next to it, where prayer flags can be hung. Behind the hillside is a large plain that looks very majestic. The scenery here is the most stunning and beautiful among the three major temples in Lhasa. By the way, flying drones is not allowed here.
