The best way to solve anxiety is to go to Western Sichuan

📍Address: Ruoergai Grassland ☀️Ruoergai Temperature During the day, if it's sunny, you can even wear short sleeves and skirts, as it's particularly sunny. At night, the temperature drops sharply, and it gets cold as soon as the wind blows, so you need to wear a down jacket or a windbreaker. ⚠️Things to bring for the trip ID card, umbrella, disposable toiletries, sunscreen, sun hat, and power bank are all essentials. Bring other items according to your own needs. 👁‍🗨About Ruoergai In fact, there are not many attractions in Ruoergai, but the charged scenic spots have always been controversial, especially Huahu (Flower Lake). This still depends on the individual. The scenery along the way in Ruoergai is not much different from that of the scenic spots, and there are many places to ride horses by the roadside, which also offer a great experience. ⛺️You can camp on any open ground by the roadside, most of which are free, with great views. Just look up to see the blue sky and white clouds, and look around to see the ground full of black yaks. It's very nice for both taking photos and playing. 🏠Accommodation: You can stay in Hongyuan or Ruoergai, depending on your travel plan for the day. There are many hotels, but remember to book in advance. If it's not the peak season, you can negotiate the price directly with the hotel owner upon arrival. Off-season prices are generally cheaper than online. 🚾Toilets along the way are mostly dry toilets and charge a fee. It's recommended to bring some change, because during holidays like the Dragon Boat Festival, there will definitely be a lot of people, and the network may sometimes be congested.

The unique First Bend of the Yellow River

The unique First Bend of the Yellow River The First Bend of the Yellow River, Not only the sunset and the grassland, the fourth stop of the 'Sichuan Aba Tour' is the First Bend of the Yellow River The First Bend of the Yellow River is located in Tangke Town, Ruoergai County, Aba Prefecture, Sichuan. The high altitude, abundant grasslands, thin air, and large temperature difference here, along with unique natural conditions and local customs, create a different kind of beauty. Here you can see the Yellow River and its tributary, the White River, converge and turn, which is very vast and spectacular. However, because the location of the scenic area is relatively remote and sparsely populated, there are quite a few things to note when visiting 1. The ticket office of the First Bend of the Yellow River is at the intersection of a Tibetan village, and there are still many Tibetans living in the village. In addition to admiring the beauty of the Yellow River, if time permits, you can also stroll around the village. There are also many temples nearby worth visiting. Remember to respect the customs and habits of the ethnic minority areas when visiting. 2. ▲The First Bend of the Yellow River is at an altitude of 3500 meters to 4000 meters. For those who enter the western Sichuan area for the first time, there will be some altitude sickness, so you need to prepare some medicine. 3. The temperature difference in the location of the scenic area is large. It may be short-sleeved during the day and down jackets at night. We went there in August and put on down jackets at night. Especially on the climbing road of the viewing platform in the scenic area, the cold wind is particularly strong, and you need to wear a good scarf and gloves. 4. There is a certain distance to climb the viewing platform. Although they are all well-built wooden plank roads, because of the high altitude and thin air, if you walk too fast, you will obviously not be able to breathe. It is recommended that those with poor physical strength can spend some money to take the cloud ladder to reach the viewing platform. The ticket price for the cloud ladder is remembered to be 60 yuan. 5. You need to do a good job of sun protection in high-altitude areas. Sun hats, sunscreens, sunglasses, etc. are indispensable. The air is dry and you need to drink more water. Generally, there will be hot water provided in the hotel. The conditions and facilities of the First Bend of the Yellow River Hotel in the scenic area are general, but it is considered very good in that area, and you need to book in advance during the peak season.

Is it worth going to Ruoergai Flower Lake?

Is it worth going to Ruoergai Flower Lake? Ruoergai Flower Lake is a place with mixed reviews. Some say it's unforgettable like a poem or a painting, while others find it boring and aesthetically tiring. Unlike the flower lake in imagination, it's not full of flowers, but it gives me a sense of extreme purity and healing. To be precise, Ruoergai Flower Lake is in Sichuan, but it's a must-visit spot on the self-driving route of Gannan. It's near the 213 National Road between Ruoergai County in Sichuan and Langmu Temple in Gansu. It's one of the wetlands in Ruoergai, next to the endless Ruoergai grassland. On the way, you may encounter local herdsmen's monument to commemorate the Red Army's crossing the grassland in the past. Finally, it matches the article in the textbook when I was a child. The grassland in the textbook is a bit "terrifying", but the grassland in front of me is full of green grass and cattle and sheep everywhere. ? Is it worth going to Ruoergai Flower Lake? To answer this question, several premises need to be set Good weather, if it's cloudy or raining continuously, you can't feel the beauty of the flower lake, it's recommended to give up here Can accept at least 1.5 hours of hiking, Ruoergai Flower Lake scenic area is very large, after getting off the shuttle bus, from the starting point to walk a circle of wooden plank road It seems to take 2-3 hours to return to the far point.

Langmusi | The source of the Bailong River favored by the light of the sky and the shadow of the clouds

| The source of the Bailong River favored by the light of the sky and the shadow of the clouds. The White Dragon begins to hide in the tiger's den, still hiding the pastoral scenery. 🗺From Lanzhou all the way south to the deepest part of Gannan Prefecture, you can hear the rumbling sound of the source of the Bailong River from a distance, and this beautiful small mountain basin is Langmusi Town. ✨The ethnic groups living on both sides of the Die Mountain are very complex, and Langmusi Town is no exception. Here, compared to the pure Tibetan cultural area, there is more Hehuang culture. The Hezhou-style mosque Bunk building standing in the town center can be seen. But the center of the whole town is still Dacang Namogel Temple and Saich Temple, although these two temples belong to the Gelug Sect, there are still very complex differences. 💫The rich folk customs, the atmosphere without too much commercial development, and the unique scenery make Langmusi Town unique. Leaving the temple, walking into the deep Namu Grand Canyon in the curling mulberry smoke, thinking about the final destination of this stream in the gurgling water-Chongqing Chaotianmen. 📿Gelden Temple The name of Langmusi is the alias of this temple on the Sichuan side. Compared with the golden and brilliant Saich Temple on the opposite bank, Gelden Temple is more introverted. However, the influence of this temple should not be underestimated. It has a great influence in Aba and Gannan, with 18 branch temples and hundreds of monks. However, although there are many halls in the temple, not many are open, only the Langmusi Culture Museum and Zunsheng Hall can be visited. The Zunsheng Hall enshrines the extraordinary physical Dharma body. 📸Walking to the back mountain of the temple, you can overlook the small town, and there are many walking masters and locals, and many deer frolicking in it, quite wild. If you know the locals, you can ask them to lead into the temple and avoid the entrance fee. 💡Saich Temple This temple belonging to Gansu, I think it is the first impression of most people on Langmusi. This temple is a branch of Zhebang Temple in Lhasa. The magnificent halls descend from the hillside, and the golden hall echoes the small town under the sun and the red stone cliff in the distance, solemn and wonderful. There are more open halls here, and you can spend an afternoon visiting. 🗻Namu Grand Canyon Walking into the deep mountains in the direction of the Sichuan temple, it is the source of the Bailong River in the canyon. Not far into the valley, you can see a arrow tower, marking the location of the Fairy Cave. The name "Langmu" comes from a strange stalactite in the Fairy Cave that looks like a fairy. It is said that there were tigers here, and after the tiger was transformed by the lotus master, it turned into a fairy and guarded one side, gaining people's faith. Continue to go deep into the canyon, you will enter a local grassland, you can also ride a horse to play in this canyon, it is very suitable for a day of leisure hiking. 🚗Langmusi Town is also lively and peaceful, and there is a mosque left in the late Qing Dynasty. Provincial Highway 313 passes through the town, and at the three-way intersection of the provincial highway and the main street of the town, you can wait for buses to Lanzhou, Xiahe and other places.

It's not just in Tibet, there's also such a Tibetan style in southern Gansu

Langmu Temple is located at the junction of Gansu, Qinghai and Sichuan, Langmu Village, Langmu Temple Town, Luqu County, Gannan Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Gansu Province. It is located at an altitude of 3480 meters and covers an area of 55 hectares. Langmu Temple is divided into two parts, one is the Sichuan Dachang Langmu Temple, also known as Gerdi Temple, Tiger Cave, Fairy Cave, Langmu Temple Grand Canyon and the Buddha's Relics are all located in Sichuan Langmu Temple. The other is the Gansu Temple, also known as Saichi Temple, the direction to the sky burial platform, the two temples watch each other across the stream. Langmu Temple is not a temple, but a small town. The Langmu Temple Grand Canyon near the temple is known as the Swiss of the East. The Grand Canyon is a primitive Grand Canyon, the combination of the stream and the tall pine trees, really has a bit of Swiss feel! ⛰【Attraction Guide】 📍Detailed address: Langmu Village, Langmu Temple Town, Luqu County, Gannan Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Gansu Province 🚗Traffic Guide: Stay in Langmu Village, you can walk directly, walk separately for two days, it is very comfortable. 🕙Opening hours: 7:00--19:30 💰Ticket price: 30 yuan in summer, no one sells tickets in winter 🌟Visiting feelings: 1. There are temples, you can slowly experience the power of people's devout faith 2. Although there are living Buddhas in the temple, the living Buddha in Buddhism is just a title, which is not the same as what we think of as a living Buddha, so if you want to find a living Buddha to consecrate, it is actually not necessary. 3. The scenery of the Grand Canyon is very good, you can take a tour. 📌Small Tips: 1. If you visit in a single day, it may be a bit rushed, it is better to stay in Langmu Village and then slowly play. 2. The temple is quite large, it takes a long time to walk, you need to walk slowly.

Langmusi: A Town, Two Provinces, Three Ethnic Groups

Langmusi, is a temple, but not just a temple, it is also a small town located at the junction of Sichuan and Gansu. A small town, divided into two by the Bailong River, belongs to Gansu and Sichuan provinces; a temple, divided into Gansu Temple and Sichuan Temple; in the middle of the two temples, there is also a mosque; Han, Tibetan, Hui, three ethnic groups live together in this small town. Langmusi has been a sacred place for Tibetan Buddhism in Sichuan, Gansu, Qinghai and Tibet to worship the Black Tiger Goddess since ancient times. The history of temple construction here has been thousands of years. The meaning of Langmusi is 'Tiger Cave Fairy Temple'. Langmusi is a Gelugpa monastery of Tibetan Buddhism, divided into two parts, one is Sichuan Dachang Langmusi, also called Gerdi Temple, and the other is Gansu Saichisi, the two temples are across the river, less than a hundred meters apart. The town is very small, everywhere is typical Tibetan architecture, Hada, prayer flags, Tibetan-style painted beams can be seen everywhere. The distant Red Rock Cliff surrounds the town, tall and sharp, under the contrast of the surrounding green grassland, like a red wall guarding this land. It takes about ten minutes to walk to Sichuan Temple. The entrance is very simple, with two lamas in charge of selling tickets. Following the entrance, the low Tibetan-style red houses near the entrance are the monks' rooms. In the afternoon, there are not many monks in the temple, very quiet. The biggest Buddhist event of Gerdi Temple every year is the Buddha Viewing Festival on the 13th day of the first month, the huge Buddha image scroll is slowly unfolded on the Buddha Viewing Platform along the hillside, very magnificent, unfortunately we can't see such a magnificent scene now. The Great Hall of Sutras across from the Buddha Viewing Platform, with red walls and golden roofs, is solemn and magnificent. In front of the hall, the butter lamps are always bright, the Dharma is always present, and the Sanskrit sounds in the hall are quiet and solemn. Across the Bailong River Road is Gansu Temple, where you can step across two provinces. Saichisi is built along the mountain, at this altitude, the slope is still a bit challenging. As soon as you enter the gate, a golden-domed white tower stands tall, this is where people turn the scriptures daily. With the mountain, the grandeur and magnificence of Saichisi are more prominent. Golden dome, white wall, red window, under the sunshine, glittering, layer upon layer, don't know how many layers. Compared to the Sichuan Temple across the river, the temples are all very magnificent and exquisite. Saichisi was founded in 1748, and has a history of more than 250 years. After more than 200 years, with the careful protection and continuous expansion of successive Saichisi Living Buddhas, the Golden Hall, Buddha Hall, Buddha Palace, and monks' houses are well-arranged, large in scale, and Saichisi has also become the Tibetan Buddhist temple in the Duoma Tibetan area, second only to Ta'er Temple and Labrang Temple. From the highest Buddha Hall, you can overlook the panoramic view of Langmusi Town and the Sichuan Temple across the river, as well as the distant Red Rock Cliff and snow-capped mountains, can't help but sigh at the insignificance of human beings, and can't help but sigh at the greatness of human beings.

Saichit Temple||| (The strategy is below, with the route attached)

||| (The strategy is below, with the route attached). Founded in 1748, the Gandan Saichit Temple is located on the north side of the Bailong River in Langmu Temple Town. The temple is built against the mountain and is magnificent. Coming here in the early morning, you can enjoy the brilliant light of the layered golden roofs in the sun. And standing on the viewing platform in the temple, you can not only overlook the small town under the snow mountain, but also look far away to the Red Rock Cliff-the place where the sun rises every day in Langmu Temple. --- ⏰ The opening hours I found are 8:00-17:00, but the specific time may vary according to different seasons, so you can check it yourself before you go 🚗 You can drive into the Saichit Temple, and you can see a golden dome and white tower standing tall as soon as you enter the gate. There is a small hill on the left that leads to the viewing platform, and the road on the right leads to the Buddha Hall. 👉🏻 My route at the time was to go to the viewing platform on the left after entering the door → then follow the road uphill and turn right → come to the large hall, Maitreya Hall and other building groups → then follow the stairs down to the entrance. In short, it is a circular route. ▶️ When I went there was at the end of October, because the altitude here is relatively high, and it was in the morning, the perceived temperature was very low, it is recommended to bring more thick clothes. ---

If you have the consent of your family, you can take pictures. 3 Turning the mountains and turning the water to the stupa Tibetan people's devout faith is the snow lotus in the sky, full of pure to pure. They are kind and simple, and they only turn for the faith. An ancient turn of the road outside Xiahe Labrang Monastery is a lap I have to go to the Labrang Monastery every time. This is also one of my favorite temples.

Recommended five-day self-driving tour from Xi'an to Gannan!

👍Most recommended: There are many travel routes from Xi'an to Gannan, and here is a popular five-day tour itinerary: 🗓Itinerary: Day 1: Xi'an—Sangke Grassland. The whole journey is about 790 kilometers. Depart from Xi'an, take the Lianhuo Expressway westward, with almost no traffic after Baoji, exit the expressway at Wushan County, and then drive for an hour and a half to reach Langdaban Grassland. Watch the sunrise here, camp and rest. Depart at noon to reach Min County for lunch, then continue west along National Highway 316, passing through the terraced fields of thousands of acres, the viewing platform of Zhuoni County, and arrive at Hezuo City. The Duohe'er Temple and Zhayou Temple along the way can be visited for free. If you don't want to camp, you can stay in the city. For camping, navigate to Zhayou Township, follow the road to the mountain pass, which is part of the Sangke Grassland, sparsely populated, and an excellent spot for camping and stargazing. Day 2: Sangke—Langmu Temple. The whole journey is about 160 kilometers. Wake up naturally in the morning on the grassland, have breakfast, and then enter the Sangke Grassland. Even on the boundless grassland road, the beauty of Guomang Wetland and the tenderness of Gahai Lake touch people's hearts. Arrive at Langmu Temple in the afternoon, the only place in the town that may get congested, where you can gather in the town or visit the temples. Langmu Temple has two temples, belonging to Ruoergai County in Sichuan and Luqu County in Gansu. If you want to see rippling blue waves, you can go to the Namo Grand Canyon in Sichuan's Langmu Temple, which is the source of the Bailong River. The clear stream flows past the caves on the cliff edge, where you can throw stones for good luck, and of course, feeding pigeons is also a good choice. Day 3: Langmu Temple—Zhagana. The whole journey is about 330 kilometers. Leave Langmu Temple and take the U13 county road into Ruoergai. This is a city of grasslands, where you will pass the winding Heihe Ranch, see cattle and sheep running freely, galloping horses, and also pass the Yellow River's Great Bend, where you can listen to the low cry of the mother river. Drive north from Tangke on National Highway 248, and you can reach Zhagana Village by evening, where you can choose to stay in the village or camp at the viewing platform. Day 4 Zhagana—Lintan County. The total length is about 140 kilometers. Catch the sunrise over Zhagana in the early morning, and start the essence of this journey, the Loke Crossing—Zhagana to Zagulu Town, 100 kilometers of unpaved road, 40 kilometers of bomb craters, which will shake you to doubt life, but it does not affect your anticipation of the beautiful scenery. In the middle of the crossing, a new hiking trail has been built, where you can walk a short distance and stand high to overlook the entire valley. If you can only go to one place in Gannan by self-driving, then the Loke Road is the best answer. When the car reaches Zagulu Town, you finally escape the bumpy road section and stay in Lintan County in the evening. Day 5 Lintan—Xi'an. Return to Xi'an via the expressway. If you have more time, you can also detour to Liuba to experience the passion of red leaves. Gannan has rich scenery and many options, you can adjust according to your time.
