    "To go to the Ta'er Temple, you must ask for an explanation. 1-5 people have a total of 160 yuan for an hour and a half, which is still very worthwhile, otherwise you can't understand it. Listen to the explanation first, and return to the original road to take pictures slowly after the end, almost two hours."

    Highlights: Kumbum Monastery (also called Ta'er Temple) is a Tibetan gompa with more than 400 years of history. Located in Xining's Huangzhong County, it belongs to the Gelug (or Yellow) School of Tibetan Buddhism. Kumbum Monastery has a number of ancient buildings including the main hall, Scripture Hall, Buddha Pagoda, and academy. At the center of the monastery complex, visitors will find the Dajinwa (Great Golden Tile) Temple. According to legend, this temple was erected on the site where Je Tsongkhapa, founder of the Gelug School, was born. A visit to Kumbum is not complete without taking the time to see and appreciate the butter sculptures, the murals, and the elaborate embroidery. The entire temple complex is full of magnificent buildings and rich treasures. However, the true charm of the complex lies in its holy atmosphere. It is one of the greatest tourist attractions in Xining.

    "Don't be misled by the comments of previous years. Although the Qinghai Provincial Museum occupies a small area, the collection is very rich and can't be seen for two hours. The downside is that the design of the exhibition hall is not very good, and the tour route is not clear enough (also the reason for the rich exhibition). It’s worth taking half a day to look at it."

I feel that the order of visit is very good. First look at the living, then listen to the knowledge, first have intuitive understanding, then have rational understanding, I am very impressed.
