The Crimson Buddhist Kingdom Closest to Heaven｜Yaqing Monastery, where the soul stays at 4000 meters!

Standing on the 4000-meter-high plateau, the wind carries the chanting deep into the soul 🕊️. Thousands of red houses stretch before you, like divine blood flowing—this is Yaqing Monastery, a silent, hidden Buddhist kingdom. 📸 Moments that touch the soul: 1️⃣ Nun Island Sunrise: Climb the viewing platform! Morning light ignites the red houses across the hills, the Changqu River wraps around like a khata scarf, breathtakingly beautiful 🌅. (Camera positions 3/4) 2️⃣ Prayer Wheel Corridor: Spin the prayer wheels with the nuns, the sound of copper bells and mantras intertwine, and photos taken at dusk glow with a Buddhist aura ✨! 3️⃣ Encounter Practitioners: The red-robed Zhaba monks and serene-eyed nuns 🪷, please keep your distance and respect the culture! A chance meeting with a deer adds a mystical touch 🦌~ ⚠️ Important tips from personal experience: ▫️ Transportation: Self-drive navigation to "Yaqing Monastery," paved roads accessible by sedan. ▫️ Accommodation: Only dormitory-style lodging inside the monastery; recommended to stay in Baiyu County (1.5-hour drive). ▫️ Taboos: Men are forbidden on Nun Island ❌; drones are prohibited; always smile and ask permission before photographing monks. ▫️ Altitude sickness: The wind is bone-chilling! Down jackets and wool hats are a must, glucose oral solution is effective! --- The afterglow is powerful! When sunlight illuminates Nun Island, the whole valley awakens—suddenly understanding what it means that "faith can withstand the test of time" ❤️‍🔥. Here there is only wind, prayer flags, and the chanting that beats in sync with your heart... The person returns, but the soul forever wanders in that crimson. 📍 Yaqing Monastery, Baiyu County, Ganzi, Sichuan 🚗 Recommended route: Chengdu - Kangding - Litang - Baiyu (3+ days) 🌸 Best season: May to October (wildflowers cover the mountains in August!)
