💡Travel Tips:
👉🏻Don't buy oxygen cylinders and oxygen water in the scenic area, oxygen cylinders are very expensive, and oxygen water is pure IQ tax
👉🏻The air on the plateau is thin and the sun is strong, be sure to pay attention to sun protection and moisturizing, apply sunscreen, wear a hat and sunglasses
👉🏻No matter what season you go, you must keep warm! The temperature difference between day and night on the plateau is large, and a cold can cause altitude sickness
👉🏻Respect local culture, don't touch the heads of Tibetan children, ask before taking pictures of others!

Litang Temple is located on the north slope of Litang County, Ganzi Prefecture, Sichuan Province, covering more than 500 mu. It was built in 1580 and was founded by the Third Dalai Lama. It is the oldest and largest Tibetan Buddhist Huangjiao Temple in Kang District. The temple is built on the mountain, with a strong body, a sky, and a dust return to the gods. The magnificent architecture, dazzling artifacts, thousands of Buddha statues, exquisite sculptures and vast collections of literature have become the treasure trove of Tibetan religion, culture and art today.
The first stop of Litang is Changchun Keer Temple. Even the oldest and largest Huangjiao Temple in Kang District, it is not very old at first sight. It should be renovated. When you walk into the temple gate, you can hear the copper bells floating in the wind. The heart also follows the silence. Out of the hall, a black cow at the door slowly passed by, such a scene is very fresh.
The annual temple Dafa meeting such as jumping gods, arguing, turning mountains, displaying Buddhas and oil flower clubs are now restored and perfected, reminiscing about the story of the old days of Changchun Keer Temple. Buddhists are very compassionate, kind and free, and are happy to cooperate with tourists to take pictures
The first time I came to Litang, I experienced high reaction. Different experiences in life. Temples can be seen everywhere, and worship and piety can be seen everywhere by Tibetan people. Today, I punched in Changchun Kerr Temple alone, which was very magnificent. Standing on the top of the East Mountain overlooking the entire Litang, so pure, only a short distance from the sky, everything is so just right, and I also picked up a Tibetan coin. Transportation 🚴, in the back mountain of the ancient town, you can walk to the environment, relatively quiet 🤫, no hats, eyes, no photos during the visit 📷, visit clockwise
Changchun Keer Temple, on the north slope of the city, there are many Tibetans who worship devoutly. The back mountain of the temple can be photographed, and the place with the best view of the photo is taken.
