Absolutely stunning! There's such a sky temple hidden in the little Tibet of Ganzi

I've found a hidden gem in the Tibetan area! 🏔️ This time, I discovered an incredibly impressive Tibetan Buddhist temple in Baiyu County, Ganzi — Gado Monastery! 📍Detailed address: Mid-slope of Duoni Mountain, Bailong Valley, Baiyu County, Ganzi Prefecture ⏰Opening hours: Daily 09:00-17:00 Standing in front of the temple at an altitude of 4,800 meters, even a simple "Wow" feels too mild! 😱 The complex with red walls and golden roofs looks unbelievably beautiful under the blue sky and white clouds. Every snap feels like a blockbuster shot 📸 Even more amazing is the "Sky Mirror" here, perfectly reflecting the sky and mountains, making you feel like you're standing above the clouds ☁️ No wonder it's called the "real-life Sky City"! Little tips: ✅ Best to visit after 10 AM for optimal lighting ✅ Remember to bring sunscreen + oxygen tank (high altitude area) ✅ Drones are not allowed
