Dazhao Temple is a large Tibetan Buddhist temple in the southern part of Yuyuan District, Hohhot, Inner Mongolia, China, belonging to the Gelug sect. The 'Zhao' in Dazhao Temple means temple in Tibetan. The original Chinese name was 'Hongci Temple', which was later changed to 'Wuliang Temple'. Because there is a silver Buddha enshrined in the temple, it is also called 'Silver Buddha Temple'. Dazhao Temple is the earliest built Yellow Sect temple in Hohhot and has a wide influence in the Mongolian region. It was founded by Altan Khan, the leader of the Tumote tribe in the Ming Dynasty. Built in 1580 AD, it is the earliest Lamaist temple built in Hohhot and one of the few temples in Mongolia that does not have a living Buddha. Dazhao is not only a Buddhist holy land, but also a famous tourist attraction at home and abroad. The magnificent temple architecture, precious cultural relics and artworks, as well as the mysterious Cham dance and Buddhist music, constitute the unique 'Temple Culture' of Dazhao. 🎫Ticket: 35r/person, children 17r/person. Address: Dazhao Qian Street, Yuyuan District, Hohhot City, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. The structure of the Jokhang Temple is a bit like the Forbidden City, divided into the central line, east line and west line. Be sure to look at the scenic map carefully and don't miss the palaces on both sides. Tour Tips： 1⃣️Be sure to look at the scenic map carefully and don't miss the palaces on both sides. 2⃣️There are many photo studios near Dazhao Temple, where you can rent clothes and take a set of beautiful ethnic portraits, which is great! 3⃣️When you come out of Dazhao Temple, it is the old street on the border, but there are few shops open and few people in winter～

My trips can only be on holidays, and I always can't avoid the crowded people. However, facing the crowded scenic spots, I can also take a portrait with a sense of exclusivity. This time at the Da Zhao Temple scenic spot in Hohhot, I took a life photo of the Mongolian princess again. ✅ Step one: Rent a costume Near the Ming and Qing Street outside the Da Zhao Temple, there are many costume rental shops with a variety of styles, including Mongolian robes and Tibetan costumes, which are beautifully made, with styles for spring, summer, autumn, and winter. You can ask several shops to find one with good value for money. I rented a Mongolian dress with green edges for 100 yuan for two hours including makeup, which is very cost-effective. The dress I chose was brighter with green edges, and the hairstyle and makeup were also very ethnic. ✅ Step two: Shooting in the scenic area If you can take photos yourself, you don't need to spend money on a photographer. To take a portrait in a crowded scenic area, just pay attention to the following points: ▫️ Take close-ups The big scenes in front of the palace are crowded with people, no matter how you take the photo, you can't avoid the crowd, so it's better to take more close-ups. The makeup of the Mongolian princess also highlights the facial makeup and hair accessories, which are very suitable for taking close-ups of the face. The Da Zhao Temple is exquisite everywhere, even the corners are not inferior, so it is very easy to find backgrounds for close-ups in the Da Zhao Temple, such as walls, columns, corridors, prayer wheels, prayer flags, etc., all of which are very characteristic. ▫️ Shoot from a low angle Since the ground is full of people, shoot from a low angle to avoid the crowd. The architecture of the Da Zhao Temple is like a work of art, with richly colored glazed tiles, and colorful prayer flags fluttering, which are very suitable for low-angle shots. The photographer needs to squat down, and the model leans forward and looks down slightly to take a photo of the person with the building. ▫️ Use height difference Standing on the steps, you can avoid the crowd on the ground behind you, and you can also take a photo of the person with the tall building. ▫️ Be patient and wait The more effort you put in earlier, the less trouble you'll have later. When there are people around but not too many, be patient and wait, keep the pose and camera position unchanged, and you will always find that moment when there are no people, and press the shutter. ✅ Step three: Retouching Sometimes, no matter how hard you try, there will still be a few people in the photo. By retouching, you can easily remove them with tools like the clone stamp, and the exclusive Mongolian princess portrait is completed.

It's like a paradise on earth! Hohhot is definitely worth bringing family and friends to check in. It's too beautiful! When you come to Hohhot, head straight for the two temples across the street. The Xiaozhao (Xilitu Zhao) is known for its tranquility and exquisiteness, with more Tibetan-style Lama pagodas inside. Entering around 4 pm, I just caught the temple ceremony, which was already very impressive. The Dazhao (Dazhao Wuliang Temple) is superior as a royal (Kangxi) family temple, with a higher status and larger scale. It houses the largest existing silver Tibetan Buddhist statue and the Thousand-Handed Guanyin statue is also extraordinary. I was equally fortunate to catch the 9:30 am ceremony. Although I couldn't understand the content, the experience was still overwhelming. Perhaps it's because it's the first time for a Han Chinese person to visit a Tibetan temple, but seeing the richly colored and gorgeous prayer flags, the exquisite and beautiful Thangka paintings, the mysterious texts and symbols, and the devout prostrations of the faithful, one can feel the power of religious culture and faith. It's worth mentioning that the Naichun Temple within the Dazhao should be entered with caution; it seems to enshrine a deity similar to Yama in Tibetan Buddhism, with many skull patterns in the inner sanctuary, which can be a bit frightening when seen suddenly. The other halls are all worth a detailed look. If you get tired, you can find a cool corner to sit in, watch the flocks of pigeons and swallows chirping on the temple roof, see the golden light shining from the temple roof under the blue sky and sunlight, and deeply appreciate the unique scent of incense in the temple and the inner peace it brings.

Two cities to definitely check out would be Baotou and Hohhot. Baotou has a grassland park right in the center of the city and a lot of good hotpot restaurants. Hohhot is a little bigger with a large Muslim population. you can find great halal food in the area and see some Islamic inspired architecture. a lot of dried meats 🐎 Inner Mongolia is known for its horses and if you go visit the many grassland areas you might be able to catch a horse show or even ride one yourself 🍲 The food is amazing. abundant in lamb and milk products, it might be alittle hard to find vegetarian options, but they do exists. 🐫 The grasslands are amazing. you get to sleep in a yurt and see the night sky and all the stars without any glare from city light. 👘 Classical Mongolian Dancing is also a must see. Very well choreographed dance moves combined with balancing objects on their heads, the dancers make it look easy. but it probably took a long time to master. 🙂 Getting There - Plane and rented keep to the grasslands Attractions - Horse show, Grasslands, Traditional Mongolian Dancing Hotels - Grassland Yurt Food & Restaurants - Lamb Hotpot, Milk Tea, Lamb BBQ #desert #nature #urbanexplorer #grasslands #dessert #MaydayTrip #HappyLaborday
