It can be said that Langmu Temple is my favorite place in Gannan and even Gansu, although it is Langmu Temple, in fact, it is not a monastery, but a town name. In my opinion, even though Langmu Temple is now more and more known by travelers, it still presents a very original ecological scene.
As some people say they don’t come to the Longmu Temple, which is equal to no to the South, the importance of the Langmu Temple in the Gannan area narita to fukuoka flights is more and more remote, and in general, it takes 6 hours from Lanzhou, and the shift is very low, and there is basically no bus in the off-season. We can only go to co-operation, so it’s so hidden that it’s a lot of fun.
The Langu Temple has the natural scenery such as the Grand Canyon and the Red Rock Cliff, and also has the humanistic views of the Golmud Monastery, the Gandan Sanchai Temple, and visits the temples with a very slow rhythm, and you will see the more simple Tibetan monasteries than the Dazhao Temple and the Xiaozhao Temple.
Gordi temple in sichuan, although I don’t think the scale of the xiahe lablang temple, but here you can see the atmosphere of non-commercialization, the local monks did not receive the influence of tourists, on the contrary, they still continue to do their homework, religious practice. In contrast, the gan dansai chi temple in gansu has a lot of commercialization, tourist groups are also many, but commercialization also has commercial benefits, that is, visitors can also experience the monks in the temple, such as the king dance and debate of the temple’s daily activities.
Stay at Langmu Temple:
The individual suggests that the Langwood Temple will need at least one night to feel the rest of the world. If more time, I personally recommend staying for 2-3 days to get in touch with the local people, and you will see a lot of Tibetans in the town of the Longwood Temple. They have not become commercialized because of the development of tourism, but they still maintain a simple state of mind.
Recommendations for accommodation at Langmu Temple:
During the off-season at Langmu Temple, most hotels and restaurants were closed. At this time, you can choose the local Tibetan accommodation, although the conditions are relatively difficult, but the price is cheap, and can also experience their lives, individuals still like it very much.
Langmu Temple food advice:
In my opinion, the food of Langmu Temple is very similar to many Tibetan places, but it has its own characteristics, the focus can be considered ginseng fruit, old yogurt, milk tea, noodle, handmade noodles, yak beef and so on are worth a try, of course, if your taste is heavy, then beef and mutton bag is also worth a try.
How can I get to Langmu Temple:
The bus in the south station of Lanzhou has a shuttle to the direction of the Langu Temple, which usually has a bus in the morning, but it is not clear in the off-season that there is no shuttle. If not, the personal advice can be flights from narita to fukuoka taken from the Lanzhou Motor South Station to the Xia River and then on the summer river for one night and the next day to the Lang’s Temple.
Entrance ticket of Lang Mui Temple:
There is no charge for entering Langmu Temple Town, but it costs 30 yuan if you want to visit the main hall, 30 yuan per person at Gerdi Temple in Sichuan (including Namo Canyon), and Hongshi cliff is open to the public free of charge.
An experience that cannot be missed at Langmu Temple:
The most fun time of Langmu Temple is not summer, but winter, especially during the Spring Festival, the thirteenth day of the first month of each year is the day when Langmu Temple holds Buddha visits, at this time you will see the busiest moment of Langmu Temple, thousands of people participate in the festival of faith. Even if you don’t understand those religions, it’s fun to see such a lively scene as a tourist.
