The most precious of all is the Sakyamuni statue at the Koganeva Temple. It is said that this statue was brought back from India in the 8th century A.D. by Master Jingming and offered by Tsongkhapa, the founder of the Gelugpa sect. After several attempts, it was finally treasured by Labrang Monastery. The reconstructed Gongtang Pagoda is located on the south side of the small Jinhua Temple. This pagoda is exquisite and dazzling. It is full of Buddha statues, canonical books, ritual paraphernalia and rare treasures. It is the third pagoda of Asian Buddhism. There are more than 60,000 volumes of all kinds of Buddhist scriptures in Buleng Monastery, which are divided into 17 categories, such as the whole collection, philosophy, tantra, medicine, utterances, rhymes, history, religion, biographies, crafts, mathematics, poetry and so on.

Some of the sutras were written in gold and silver juices.
In addition, it is worthwhile for the monks of Labrang Monastery to take pride in the fact that the temple also preserves religious articles such as the vestments and hats of the ancient living Buddhas, as well as seals, gold medals, books and seals. They have been bestowed many times by the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty, the government of the Northern Warlords, the government of the Kuomintang, the Dalai Lama, and the Panchen Lama.

From Labrang Monastery to the south, along the Daxia River and up more than 10 kilometers, there is a piece of open and flat grassland, that is, Fanfan sister said the famous Sangke grasslands. Sangke grassland hinterland Tibetan language called Dajiutan, running horse pool. That is to say, this is a brave rider can indulge the horse steed Li Qian place. Sangke grassland, surrounded by mountains on all sides, is a typical plateau grassland, but also the ideal natural pasture, the river flows slowly from south to north in summer, the water and grass, cattle and sheep fat. Every summer, the whole grassland is full of greenery and flowers. Under the blue sky and white clouds, the cattle and sheep into flocks, pastoral singing, the scenery is infinite, is the grassland tourism, summer vacation, Tibetan nomadic life of a good place to go.
Sanke Grassland is also an auspicious place. Legend has it that this was once the place where the hero Gesar worshipped the gods, and also the place where he raced to the throne. Nowadays, the horse race held here at the beginning of June in the lunar calendar is said to be the legacy of Gesar's horse meeting. The rules of horse racing, the age of the riders, and the way the victor is greeted with a red raincloth are all the same as those recorded in King Gesar. The Sanko Grassland Tourism Area that my sister mentioned has more than 10 grassland tourism facilities such as the More Cang Resort, Nima Resort, and Geshan Flower Tourist Spot, which provide tents, traditional Tibetan food, snacks, bonfires, folk songs, and horseback riding competitions. Tourists can really step into the land of Gannan here. You can see the green mountain bends and green grasslands. When you are immersed in the warmth and softness of the grassland, have you ever
In Ganjia village, which is more than 30 kilometers away from Xiahe county, a large area of grassland has been neatly cut and divided into the upper and lower layers, with a long and high steep cliff formed between the layers. Call it? Capital? Cliff. The White Cliffs are not pure white, and were probably named for the contrast with the green color. The White Cliff runs east-west and is about 15 kilometers long and 5-600 meters wide. From a distance, it looks like a white jade screen lying in mid-air, glittering and magnificent under the blue sky and bright sunshine. Standing in front of the White Stone Cliff, you should not only marvel at the gallantry of nature, but also feel the softness and nourishment of nature. On the west side of the root of the White Stone Cliff, there is a cave that can accommodate three or four people.
The cave is filled with gurgling water and winding paths. The morphology of the dissolved rock is diverse, lifelike and exquisite. It is said that the White Stone Cliff Cave stretches for hundreds of miles and can reach Changhua County in Qinghai Province. It is a tourist attraction yet to be developed. It is an excellent place for those who want to explore and seek excitement. Experience the wonderful feeling of returning to nature and savor the good taste of nomadic life.

Gannan Nine Colors Gannan Shambhala National Nature Reserve is the most beautiful grassland wetland in China. Charming Gannan grassland is a paradise of green grass, is a flat and open plateau pasture, is a human and natural harmony **** exist pure Shambhala land. Gannan grassland is mainly distributed in Maqu, Xiahe, Luqu three counties. Maqu prairie is the largest ecological wetland in the first curve of the Yellow River, and is also the paradise of Qu horses, black-necked cranes, white swans, Tibetan antelopes and sika deer. Gahai, with an area of 162,000 mu, is a holy lake in the eyes of Tibetan people in Gannan Plateau. The vast Gannan grassland is dotted with cows and sheep, and tents are dotted with tents, where cooking smoke curls up from the tents and pastoral songs float on horseback.
Tourists can put on Tibetan costumes, ride horses or yaks, stroll through the grassland, and enjoy the folk customs of Tibetan herders. Ga Hai is an undeveloped and pristine lake, quietly sleeping in the Gannan prairie. The altitude here is between 3,000 and 4,000 meters. The average annual precipitation is 600 ~ 800 millimeters, and the flowing water from the hillocks in the Gahai River is injected into the Tao River through the Zhouqu River. The surrounding area has not been developed into farmland and still retains its status as an original pasture. Address: Xiahe County, Gannan Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Luqu, Maqu County, Maqu First Bend of the Yellow River Scenic Area National Nature Reserve. Maqu, the world's first bend of the Yellow River, located in the upper reaches of the Yellow River, is the Tibetan name for the Yellow River.
Maqu is also the only county in China named after the Yellow River, the mother river of the Chinese nation. The Yellow River originates in Ba Yan Ka La and travels all the way east, being blocked by the Xitian Mountains on the eastern edge of the Tibetan Plateau. It makes a sudden turn and flows westward, forming the 433-kilometer-long First Bend of the Nine Quarters of the Yellow River, and Maqu County is surrounded by this first bend. The Yellow River flows into Maqu County from Mentang, Jiuzhi County, Guoluo Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Qinghai Province, from west to east, and then turns to the west. It turns five 180-degree bends and rejoins Qinghai, forming the First Bend of the Yellow River, known as the First Bend of the Yellow River. In Maqu, the Yellow River, due to the flat terrain, flows slowly to Gonza Kamu Road, Houtan and so on. In Awancang Township, due to the poor drainage of the river, many tributaries and swamps are formed, with overgrown shrubs.
In Qihama Township and Cai Rima Township, there are a large number of branches, thus forming Shenk Beach, Wenbao Beach, Maya Beach, Zaxi Beach and other large areas of marshy beach. Maqu is a colorful grassland, but also a hundred rivers competing, a thousand streams converge in the treasure. Due to the good grassland vegetation, abundant rainfall and rich surface water here, the largest grassland wetland in the first curve of the Yellow River has been formed. When the Yellow River flows through this 10,000-square-kilometer green land of Maqu, the average replenishment of water accounts for 45% of the water flowing out of Maqu. As a result, Maqu grassland has become a natural reservoir of the Yellow River. Address: Langmusi Temple, Maqu County, Gannan Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture Langmusi Temple. It is not only a temple, but also the name of a town. This ancient town, located on the border between Ruoerge County in Sichuan and Luqu in Gansu, is more or less bustling, even reaching a veritable mosh pit. The sun on the plateau is always so bright, warm sunshine with a strong dusty flavor, as if a dream began to rise in the sunshine of the plateau.
Langmusi, the world's church on the plateau, is a small town, but it is also an international town. Tourists come from all directions, operators come from all directions. The feeling is somewhat similar to Lijiang, but very different Lijiang is beautiful, Langmusi is handsome. In addition to restaurants, there are many jewelry and handicraft stores on the side streets of Langmusi. Most of the store names are written in Chinese-Tibetan-English or Chinese-to-English. Once you walk in, the owners have very different accents. There are Ningxia people and Yunnan people. The flaming red firelight in a thriving jewelry store reflects the face of a young man making silver jewelry, mainly Tibetan, with rings, cups, milk hooks and necklaces.
Just looking at his tools is confusing enough. There are more than 200 tools, large and small. It's handicrafts, the young man says with a smile. It's clear that his accent is not local, but Han Chinese from Dali, Yunnan province. Cars with various license plates from Gansu, Sichuan, Chongqing, and Nanjing came in a steady stream, bringing all kinds of goods and tourists from all directions. I suddenly remembered the map of the English-speaking world and the English menu of Lisa's coffee shop. Seeing so many tourists, I couldn't help but wonder why such a small ancient town would attract so many visitors from far and wide. Is it the Namo Grand Canyon? Is it the bright sunshine? Is it the strange folklore? Or the Buddhist temple? I thought long and hard about the message in the guestbook on Lisa's coffee table and the coins on the wall.
Langmusi town, what attracts so much attention? God lives in Langmusi, Langmusi, located in Ruoergai County, Hongxing Township, is a pure pastoral area. Nature suddenly built many mountain ranges here, including Sangilamut Mountain, Qubu Ma Mountain, Zabu Mountain, Nianqing Mountain and Ma Shao Mountain. Surrounded by these mountains, the Bailong River rushes out of the Namo Grand Canyon, and its clear figure lightly crosses this narrow valley.G. Living Buddha I once built a mountain monastery at the mouth of the Namo Grand Canyon valley. Through the efforts of several living Buddhas, Gerdi Monastery, widely known today as Gerdi Monastery, was finally built, and was then inhabited by G Living Buddha V. Many people think Langmusi is the name of the temple. In fact, there are three temples here, corresponding to Sai Chi Temple and Lang Mu Temple Mosque in Gannan Prefecture. Walking into the Gerdi Temple, you can see four magnificent halls, the Sivan Temple, the Medical College, the Hall of the Wheel of Time and the Dharma Hall. Next to the Sivan Temple is the most famous Stupa of the Flesh, which enshrines the Fifth G Living Buddha.
This is the oldest and best preserved stupa in all of Tibet. Although more than 200 years have passed, the skin is still elastic and the face is still the same, protecting the peace and auspiciousness of the believers in their daily chanting. Standing quietly surrounded by mountains, the fluttering scripture streamers emit a strong religious flavor, and devout believers come here to turn the scriptures. The rotating meridian cylinder removes the pain of this life and brings happiness in the next life. Langmusi is most lively in the first month, when the Morang Dafa, commonly known to the general public as the Chuanzhao Dafa, is held. Dance, Tibetan opera and Buddha exhibition are the main activities. At this time, Langmusi is the flame of the snowy plains, it is full of enthusiasm. At this time, Langmusi is also looking forward to the New Year in early spring and praying for happiness. The legend of Langmusi of the missionaries Galjean mentioned a missionary, which was finally confirmed by us in Saichi Monastery in Gannan Prefecture. This year, 70-year-old Lama Akseluda told us a little-known history, the key to Langmusi's rise to the world.
In the 1940s, an American missionary set foot on this magical land and lived there for a dozen years before leaving in 1957. He was completely integrated into Tibetan life here, as if his missionary work had left only a process he had traveled here, because today there are no traces of any other religions except Tibetan Buddhism and Islam. More than ten years of experience, more than ten years with the Tibetans, let him feel the life of a people with a long history. The magical legends, beautiful mountains and rivers, and spirited folkways created the legends in his heart, and he used his pen to turn them into a book, "Tebit life".
After the book was published in the United States, more Westerners learned about the mountains, grasslands, monasteries and Tibetan people on the eastern edge of the Tibetan Plateau. So they began to yearn and walk. As the years passed, the missionary's wife died here, and Lama Aksel Rudra became the only old man who ever saw him. He told us where the foreign missionary's home was. Stepping through the mud and carrying the setting sun, we found the wooden fence at the end of the path of this former residence when it was dark. The wooden fence had gotten a little cold in the twilight, and within the fence were several wooden houses arranged in a concave pattern. I never imagined it could be so simple, a jagged wooden fence enclosing a legend from so long ago.
The market and monastery of Langmusi town, a few strongholds of Langmusi, is no more than 2 square kilometers. In this narrow valley, you can see tourists of all colors and races, most of whom do not leave the strongholds mentioned below. One of the strongholds: the Langmusi Hotel. This is the earliest individual hotel in the area, opened in 1997. more than 50 stores never seem to go unused, and it has become the **** same home for foreign tourists and photographers. I realized after my visit that the owner of Langmusi Hotel, Jean Dolge, is very popular and has friends all over the world. Now he has a right-hand man son-in-law, Garjean, a young Tibetan who speaks pure English.
Second stronghold: Hotel Rinzin. By far the best hotel in Langmusi town, but it's hard to meet foreigners. Most foreigners want to go to the Langmusi Hotel, and the Rinching Hotel houses our compatriots. Third stronghold: Lisa's Coffee. Here, like tourists from all over the world, there are dishes from all over the world. This small store run by a Hui girl has become a gathering place for foreign tourists. She cooks authentic foreign dishes, such as Italian pancakes, English burgers, and all kinds of Western food. Moistened by cold beer or coke, all foreign tourists would give a thumbs up. When asked where she learned her trade, she said she was taught by an Englishman who frequents the place.
The Englishman was the owner of a restaurant in London, and his cooking was delicious. After a few visits, she taught Lisa by hand, and Lisa attracted many foreign friends and their admiration with this hard-won craft. Fortress 4:Numerous Muslim restaurants. A variety of Northwest noodle dishes can cater to the tastes of all kinds of people, fried meat noodles, Lanzhou ramen noodles, handmade noodles, firecracker noodles, and big cakes, so that friends who come here can enjoy a handful of ethnic flavors. Fifth stronghold: Szechuan restaurant. I didn't realize that the authentic Szechuan restaurant is just downstairs of Renqing Hotel. Turn left on the way out and there is a row of glass windows. Gansu a female owner opened a Sichuan restaurant, the flavor is really authentic. This is also where the smiles gather. Brits leave with smiles, Australians come in with smiles. Many foreigners, accompanied by monks, speak a mixture of English and Chinese and eat authentic Sichuan food.

After some time, monks of the Je Kagyu school came to the area to practice. Nyenboraje was a yogi from the local village of Sigor, presumably a disciple of Jigong Rinzin Sangpo. Later, on the instructions of his guru, a small temple, called Der Monastery, was built on the site of the former monks of the Jigong Kagyu school in 1222 AD.
In 58 years, Bo Sakyamuni attended Delong Monastery, merged Pawang Retreat and Dzong Retreat into Delong Monastery, converted it into a Gelugpa monastery, and built a large sutra hall that could accommodate 500 people. on the first day of the first month of 1718, jamyang went to Delong Valley, where he dug a hidden place and ordered his disciple Saikang Ewang Zhasi to preside over the temple. Since then, Drong Monastery was presided over by Sai Cang Living Buddha. More than 60 monks and nuns were liberated in the early days. This temple was demolished during the Cultural Revolution. 1981 Dachen Hall was restored, and now there are more than 30 monks.
