The Labrang Temple is very spectacular, as I thought, and the Mao master who sent us is very enthusiastic and cheerful, and the atmosphere of the day's journey is very good."Xiahe57.3 km from TongrenTemplesHighlights: Located in Gannan District's Xiahe County, Labrang Monastery is one of the six great monasteries of the Gelug (Yellow) Sect of Tibetan Buddhism. The monastery is large in scale and high in status. A representative example of the monasteries and temples throughout Gannan, it is a must-see for visitors to the area. It is a majestic temple complex. It offers spectacular sights while walking through and also when taking in a panoramic bird's-eye view from its highest point. The monastery is full of giant Buddha statues and various exquisite sculptures, murals and countless musical instruments. Furthermore, the long corridor of the Labrang Monastery is a sight rarely seen anywhere else in the world.

The most commendable thing is the integrity of the company. Only I signed up alone, still form a group, high-quality service, good beginning and end. At present, such a company needs to actively promote and praise."Xining>100 km from TongrenTemplesHistorical ArchitecturesHighlights: Located in Huangzhong County, Xining, Ta'er Temple has a history of more than 400 years. It is one of the important temples of the Gelug Sect (Yellow Sect) of Tibetan Buddhism and the birthplace of Master Tsongkhapa, the founder of the Yellow Sect. The temple has magnificent architecture, rich treasures, and a strong religious atmosphere. It is one of the more popular tourist destinations in Xining. Overview of the Tour Ta'er Temple is obviously different from the Han Buddhist temples in the mainland in terms of architectural layout: the building complex of Ta'er Temple is not symmetrical along the central axis and is not deep. Ta'er Temple is an ancient building complex composed of many halls, scripture halls, pagodas, and colleges. Each scripture hall, hall, and pagoda are irregularly distributed on a small hill. When tourists are playing, the route is more casual, rather than walking along the central axis. When visiting Ta'er Temple, if you do not enter the scripture hall or hall, but just wander around outside, you do not need to buy a ticket. You only need to check your ticket when entering some scripture halls or halls open to the public. If you come here, I suggest you buy a ticket to visit, because if you don't enter the main hall and the Sutra Court, you can't worship the incarnation of Master Tsongkhapa, nor can you appreciate the "three wonders" in the temple. There are currently more than a dozen courtyards and main halls in Ta'er Monastery open to tourists. There are Guide guides at the ticket office of Ta'er Monastery. It is recommended to hire a tour Guide , because the historical connotation of Ta'er Monastery is very profound. Without the Guide of the Guide , you will miss many interesting stories. Dajinwa Temple (Hall) Dajinwa Temple is the center of the entire building complex. Legend has it that Master Tsongkhapa was born here. When the master was born, his umbilical cord blood dripped here, and then a bodhi tree grew. Later, a tower was built outside the tree and a temple was built, and Ta'er Monastery got its name. Believers believe that this tree and this tower are the incarnation of the master.The three wonders of Ta'er Monastery are butter sculptures, murals and pile embroidery. Butter sculptures are made of butter mixed with various colors of pigments and sculpted into various Buddha statues, figures, flowers, birds, animals, pavilions and towers. Visitors can visit the exquisite butter sculptures in the Butter Flower House in the temple (far away from the gate); in the main halls, corridors, front porches and other places in the temple, you can enjoy many colorful murals that are hundreds of years old, which are very exquisite; pile embroidery is made of colorful silks cut into various shapes required, such as Buddha statues, birds and animals, etc., filled with wool or cotton, and then embroidered on the cloth. In the large scripture hall in the temple, two rare large-scale pile embroidery groups of "Sixteen Arhats Showing Supernatural Powers" and "Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea" are hung on both sides. The four major ceremonies of Ta'er Monastery (based on the lunar calendar) are: 1. Jumping on the 14th day of the first lunar month, butter flower exhibition (the 15th day of the first lunar month); 2. Jumping on the 14th day of the fourth lunar month, sunning the Buddha, jumping on the 15th day of the fourth lunar month; 3. Sunning the Buddha, jumping on the 6th day of the sixth lunar month, and turning the golden Buddha (the 8th day of the sixth lunar month); 4. Sunning the Buddha all day (the 22nd day of the ninth lunar month), jumping on the 23rd day of the ninth lunar month. During the ceremonies, there will be various activities such as sunning the Buddha, performing Dharma dances, etc. There will be a lot of believers and tourists coming to worship, and the scene will be very lively.Show Less

27 review"Many people say that Sun Moon Mountain is very boring, but I don't think it. I think the off-season Sun Moon Mountain is great! The scenery is beautiful, and there are camels, yaks, and lambs. Walk slowly to enjoy the scenery that you have never seen before and take beautiful photos. The wind is a bit big, but it does not affect. I still recommend everyone to go once! ! !"Huangyuan>100 km from TongrenMountainsHighlights: The famous Riyue Mountains is between Xiningi City and Qinghai Lake.

I went to the safari park first, and then came to the natural museum. I feel that the order of visit is very good.

It is divided into South Hall and North Hall. The South Hall is a humanistic and requires tickets. The North Hall is Tibetan medicine, free of charge, and both museums are worth it. I went shopping for a total of 4 hours."Xining.Biological Park Area>100 km from TongrenMuseumsHighlights: The Qinghai Tibetan Culture Museum is also known as the Tibetan Medicine Culture Museum.
