It's good to buy a takeaway after that🙈 - Casual meal for two - 💰168 (Half ginger chicken, 1 side dish, stir-fried seasonal vegetables, 2 bowls white rice, 2 bowls soup, 2 hot drinks) 🐥Ginger chicken This is very attractive, it looks like a lot of more than half a chicken 🤣 The chicken is very fresh, thin skin, thick meat, bites of meat, ginger flavor is very rich, making the chicken more salty with rice to eat great 🥰 🐷Pineapple sweet and sour pork I always eat sweet and sour pork but this one has a surprise!

Halfway between Lanzhou in Gansu province and Chengdu in Sichuan lies Langmusi, a small border town famed for its Tibetan monasteries and surrounding mountains. You can get here by bus from either Lanzhou or Chengdu in about 6 to 8 hours. Although there is really only one main street here, you can still find lots of places to stay such as hotels and hostels. The place is quite popular among Chinese tourists, so you won't have to look far for accommodation. The same goes for food. All along the main street, there are plenty of small restaurants. You won't find a KFC or McDonald's here, but that is a good thing as you can discover the local cuisine. There are several Tibetan restaurants where you can have yak meat or momos, but my favorite is the yak yogurt. You won't be bored in Langmusi. You can easily spend a couple of days here exploring the monasteries and climbing the mountains such as the red rock mountain. A little further away from the town are some other beautiful places such as Zhagana, Zoige grasslands and flower lake. They are all easily accessible on a day trip. For something a little more active contact the Black Tent Cafe. They can take you on horse riding tours, wildlife watching tours or even let you fly in a hot air balloon.

Another region worth visiting in China is the Northwest. The nature there is very beautiful and magnificent. Today, we would like to recommend one place, Gahai Lake, a large freshwater lake in Gansu Province. It is a tourist attraction that is not very crowded. There is no entrance fee. The brown grass fields in summer contrast with the clear blue water that stretches as far as the eye can see. It is very beautiful here. The sun is quite strong. It is recommended to bring sunscreen. #MissingNature

Langmu Temple | Gannan must pass the pilgrimage site Some people say "Do not come to Langmu Temple, equal to not to Gannan", which shows the importance of this Tibetan Buddhist monastery in Gannan. Langmu Temple is generally planned to travel in Gannan or North Sichuan. It is close to the Gannan Labrang Monastery to the north and the Zoige Grassland to the south. [Recommended travel itinerary] arrive at Langmu Temple at noon on the first day. In the afternoon, visit the Gedi Temple in Sichuan, then walk to the Bailongjiang Gorge and stay in the town at night. The next morning, I went to the Gandan Sai Chi Temple in Gansu. After that, you can take the Noons shuttle bus to leave Langmu Temple and go to other attractions in Gannan. [What can I experience here? 1 Langmu Temple Riding Langmu Temple There is a horse-riding tour nearby. The horse team has a consultation shop in the town. The price ranges from 150-400 yuan. The horse-riding destination includes the source of Bailongjiang and Hongshi. Cliffs, flowers and other places. 2 Langmu Temple celestial burial is biased toward Gansu in Langmu Temple. There is a celestial burial platform on the back hill of Saiji Temple. The celestial burial in this area is more open and can be viewed by tourists. If you have the consent of your family, you can take pictures. 3 Turning the mountains and turning the water to the stupa Tibetan people's devout faith is the snow lotus in the sky, full of pure to pure. They are kind and simple, and they only turn for the faith. An ancient turn of the road outside Xiahe Labrang Monastery is a lap I have to go to the Labrang Monastery every time. This is also one of my favorite temples.

This is not Tibet, yet it holds the same devout faith; this is not Inner Mongolia, yet it boasts equally vast grasslands. Gannan, a pure land forgotten on the northeastern edge of the Tibetan Plateau, reveals the purest beauty of nature and humanity in its own unique way. [Labrang Monastery] The Morning Bells and Evening Drums of the World Academy of Tibetan Studies The first rays of morning sunlight illuminate the golden roof of Labrang Monastery, as the chanting of thousands of lamas at morning prayers drifts into the distance with the smoke of burning juniper. As one of the six great monasteries of the Gelug school of Tibetan Buddhism, with a history spanning over three hundred years, it preserves the world's most complete Tibetan Buddhist teaching system. Spin prayer wheels and follow in the footsteps of pilgrims along the 3.5-kilometer-long prayer corridor, immersing yourself in the power of faith. [Zagana] Eden in a Stone City Hidden among the mountains of Diebu County, Zagana, meaning "stone box" in Tibetan, features four Tibetan villages nestled within steep limestone mountains. Morning mist swirls through the mountains, creating a scene reminiscent of a fairyland. Hike along the Locke Trail, encountering alpine meadows, primeval forests, and crystal-clear streams in this sanctuary, recognized by *China National Geographic* as one of the "Top Ten Unknown Mountain Peaks." [Sangke Grassland] Gesar's Pasture Summer transforms the Sangke Grassland into a sea of flowers. Across the 70-kilometer stretch of meadow, Gesang flowers, dandelions, and various unnamed wildflowers bloom in vibrant profusion. Ride a horse across this most beautiful grassland in Gannan, stay in a black tent guesthouse, dance the Guozhuang around a bonfire at night, watch the herders milk their cows in the morning, and experience the authentic nomadic life of the Amdo Tibetans. [Lake Gahai] A Four-Season Scroll of a Birdwatcher's Paradise Gahai, the largest freshwater lake in Gannan, resembles a sapphire inlaid on the grassland. In spring and summer, nearly a hundred species of migratory birds, including black-necked cranes and swans, inhabit the area. During autumn, the golden reeds along the lake shore reflect the blue sky and white clouds. In winter, the frozen lake surface transforms into a fairytale world of ice and snow. Cycle around the lake, where every step reveals a picturesque view. [Langmusi] A Buddhist Town on the Banks of the Bailong River The town of Langmusi, straddling Gansu and Sichuan provinces, is bisected by the Bailong River. Sai Chi Monastery on the north bank and Gerdi Monastery on the south bank face each other across the river, where Tibetan, Hui, and Han communities coexist harmoniously. From the morning sky burial ceremony and the sunset at Red Stone Cliff to the apple pie at Lisa's Cafe, this town, known as "Little Switzerland of the East," offers countless reasons to linger. In Gannan, time slows down. Every snow-capped mountain tells ancient myths, every prayer flag chants the six-syllable mantra, and every scenic spot awaits your arrival. When you set foot on this land, you will understand why some say, "Gannan is the closest place to heaven."

#Mainland Travel The blue sky and white clouds are within reach, the yaks are like black pearls scattered on a green carpet, and the sea of ​​flowers leads directly into the set of "Howl's Moving Castle"! 🚗【Route Recommendation】 D1: Chengdu - Emotang Flower Sea (2 hours of crazy photography! Lavender purple hits the top of the snow mountain) D2: Hongyuan Moon Bay (unlock the Yellow River S-bend) - Ruoergai Flower Lake (watch black-necked cranes dancing at the end of the plank road) D3: The first bend of the Yellow River (Buddha’s light shines all over the 18 bends at sunrise!) - Langmusi Town (a mysterious town at the junction of Sichuan and Gansu) 🍖【Grassland version of Manchu-Han banquet】 ✅ Tibetan hot pot: yak meat + wild mushrooms + Tibetan fragrant pig, the soul of the plateau bubbling in the copper pot! I highly recommend the "Zha Xizang Meal" which comes with barley cakes, which is delicious when dipped in soup! ✅ Freshly slaughtered hand-pulled mutton: slaughtered upon order in the herdsmen’s tent, sprinkle with salt and it’s so delicious that you’ll lick your fingers! Look for the tent with a golden roof, it is more authentic~ ✅ Butter tea + tsampa: salty and fragrant milk tea with fried barley noodles. The locals taught me to "poke a hole first and then pour the tea". I drank three bowls in a row! ⚠️Beware: The so-called "highland snow fish" are mostly farmed rainbow trout, damn! 📸【Highlight camera position】 1️⃣ The top of the Yellow River Escalator (1 hour before sunset! Golden river bend + prayer flags = computer desktop) 2️⃣ The corner of the wooden plank road at Huahu Lake (pretend to walk towards the mirror of the sky, and take a wide-angle shot to show the symmetry between the water and the sky) 3️⃣ Horseback riding photo at a herdsman’s house (bargained down to 50/hour, wearing a red cape and riding a horse is so cool!) 4️⃣ Langmusi Back Mountain (get the same as Little Switzerland for 0 yuan, the most magical when the morning mist is lingering) 💡【Blood and Tears Tips】 ❶ Don’t buy oxygen cylinders in scenic spots! The drugstore in town is half the price ❷ Apply sunscreen to death! Ultraviolet rays can teach you how to be a good person in minutes ❸ The temperature difference between morning and night can be as big as four seasons, so it is not an exaggeration to bring a down jacket ❹ Don’t touch a groundhog if you see one!

📍Address: Langmusi Scenic Area. Located at the intersection of faith, spanning Sichuan and Gansu provinces, Langmusi is a Tibetan town situated on the border of Zoigê County, Ngawa Tibetan and Qiang Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan, and Luqu County, Gannan Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Gansu. The Bailong River, less than 2 meters wide, flows through the town. The north bank belongs to Gansu and houses the "Anduo Dacang Langmusi Temple" (Gelug school), while the south bank belongs to Sichuan and houses the "Kirti Monastery" (Nyingma school). The two temples face each other across the river, forming a unique "one town, two provinces, three temples" layout. 🚗Transportation: Driving from Chengdu, take the Chengmian Expressway to Dujiangyan, then transfer to National Highway 317. The entire journey is about 400 km and takes 6–7 hrs. Along the way, you can enjoy the Minjiang River canyon and the plateau meadows. There are also direct buses from Chengdu Xinnanmen Bus Station to Langmusi every day (about 9–10 hrs, ticket price approx. CNY 150). 👍️Must-See Attractions: 1. Misty Canyon: The Langmusi Grand Canyon is known as the "abode of souls." Snow-capped mountains stretch on both sides, and the Bailong River rushes through the valley floor. In the morning mist, it looks like a fairyland. 2. Light of Faith: Kirti Monastery houses thousand-year-old Thangkas and Buddha statues. Monks chant scriptures in the main assembly hall every morning, and the golden roof shines brightly in the sunlight. 3. Hidden Tibetan Realm: The Sky Burial Platform is an important place to understand Tibetan views on life and death (please respect local customs, no loud noises or photography). 🎟️Tickets: CNY 30/person Do not wear hats inside the temple, do not step on the threshold, and turn the prayer wheel clockwise with your right hand. 💗Other Tips: Legend has it that Langmusi was originally called "Tiger Cave Fairy Temple," originating from a Tibetan epic about a fairy who transformed into a white tiger and cultivated here. To this day, the Fairy Cave remains on the mountain behind Kirti Monastery. The cave walls resemble tiger claws, and believers often come here to pray for blessings. The charm of Langmusi lies in its being both a vessel of faith and a masterpiece of nature. Whether you seek spiritual tranquility or explore geographical wonders, you'll find your answers here. Set off with reverence, and let every photo and memory become a mark of your dialogue with Tibet.
