    The scenery is absolutely worth punching in Gandan Temple. It is recommended to stay more time. It is already very good to take pictures outside the temple. The scenery that is not enough, let alone go to the temple to visit.

    Gandan Temple (also known as the Suidan Temple) was personally prepared by Zongkaba, the founder of Tibetan Buddhism Gelu, in 1409 (Zhexuan Temple and Sera Temple were built by Zongkaba disciples), also known as the Mother Temple or the ancestral Temple of Huangjiao. In the 1960s, a catastrophe razed the Gandan Temple, and local villagers successfully hid the statue of Zongkaba, the only cultural relics in the Gandan Temple that have escaped looting, and the building is now newly built after 1980.

    Gandan Temple, located on the south bank of Lhasa River, 3,800 meters above sea level on Wangbori Mountain, about 40 kilometers from Lhasa city. The founder of the Gelu school Zongkaba personally prepared in 1409, and the Zhexuan Temple and Sera Temple are called the "three major temples" in Lhasa. The temple stands on the mountain, composed of more than 50 buildings, spectacular, the beauty of the building is not much to say, the photos below can be confirmed. The altitude here is nearly 200 meters higher than Lhasa, plus there are very few flat ground, walking between the temples needs to climb various stone steps, breathless chest tight is the norm, so the action must be half slower than usual. There are not many tourists in Gandan Temple, there is no crowded flow of people, and it feels very good to visit.

    In October of 16, I came here. The monastery was built on the top of the hill with great momentum. There were not many tourists here. Only some pilgrims came here. It was very clean. There was a mountain-turning road which could turn around the hillside to see the surrounding scenery. I arrived by bus from Dazhao Temple in the early morning and returned to Lhasa at 1:30 p.m. There is plenty of time to visit here. It is worth visiting. If I have the chance, I would like to come here.
