April Exploration of Tibet's Hidden Gem: The Pilgrimage to Zizhu Monastery

While playing in Tibet, I passed by Dingqing and on a whim, decided to visit! The road is really tough! Zizhu Monastery is located on Zizhu Mountain in Dingqing County, Chamdo, Tibet, at an altitude of about 4800 meters. Amidst the rugged and steep rock peaks, there are large and small Buddhist temples and hermitages for monks in meditation. .📍Detailed address: On Zizhu Mountain, Shagong Township, Dingqing County, Chamdo City, Tibet Autonomous Region .🚗Transportation strategy: Navigate to "Zizhu Monastery" by car, there is a parking lot nearby 🅿 🔥Key recommendations: Ⅰ Great Treasure Hall: A place for believers to study and practice, surrounded by exquisite Thangkas on the walls, with the compassionate Great Mother enshrined in the center (but no photography is allowed inside); Ⅱ Heaven's Gate Cave: An absolutely stunning stop, climbing up you can even see the highest altitude toilet, thrilling! 💡【Tips】 1. Although April is spring, the temperature difference between day and night in the plateau area is large, remember to bring warm clothing and sun protection; 2. Zizhu Monastery is located in a high-altitude area, try to prepare for altitude sickness in advance, maintain good physical strength, and walk steadily step by step; 3. ❗Note: Zizhu Monastery belongs to the Bon religion, and you need to circumambulate the mountain counterclockwise. 4. Ticket information: Zero cost, free to visit! 🌈Zizhu Monastery is like a dazzling pearl inlaid on the roof of the world. Under the bright April sunshine, the blue sky, white clouds, and snow-capped mountains complement each other, making the temple even more solemn and sacred. I feel like this might be my only visit in this lifetime.
