Considered one of the six great monasteries of the Gelukpa (Yellow Hat) Sect, this complex contains more than 2,000 monks in residence plus eighteen halls, six institutes of learning, a golden stupa and nearly 60,000 sutras.

It’s a great place to understand one of the sect of Tibetan Buddhism in Labuleng Si. I was there in August, 2017, I was mostly impressed by the unique style architecture, Lama praying, chanting and the yak butter sculptures. There are several universities in the monastery so it is better to find a guide to get fully understanding. Try to climb the hill in front of the main hall for great views of the overall. Also, do not forget to walk the inner Kora with local people and pilgrims for good karma clockwise. Interesting and mysterious!

Ganjia Grassland

Reviewed By jstheodora - Memphis, United States

The Ganja grasslands are a stunning landscape of wide open steppe covered by an enormous sky. It's a place for beauty and reflection, which you can do either hiking or biking or walking or driving or just standing still and listening to the silence. It's definitely worth a full afternoon's visit.
