Qianfo Cliff | A Cliffside Temple Only Locals in Lhasa Know About! Stunning

🚐 142 Days of RV Self-Driving We finally arrived at the holy city of Lhasa On the cliff behind Yaowang Mountain in Lhasa We encountered an "Aerial Museum" covered with paintings of Guanyin It became our favorite off-the-beaten-path destination in Lhasa ⛰️ It’s called Qianfo Cliff Carved during the reign of Songtsen Gampo It is said that he saw the manifestation of the six-syllable mantra here So he ordered the carving of stone inscriptions at this site Over time, it grew to its current scale The cliff is covered with paintings of Guanyin by devotees Countless painters and craftsmen have been continuously repairing and adding to it In front of the cliff, the smoke from burning sage ☁️ drifts Devotees prostrate themselves devoutly, bowing their heads one after another What is breathtaking is not only the "Thangkas" carved on the walls Not only the faith flowing through Tibet But also the timeless "Chinese intricate aesthetics" If you come to Lhasa Please spare half a day for this hidden temple You will see the ordinary and authentic side of Tibet Yaowang Mountain Qianfo Cliff 🎫 Ticket: Free 🚶 Navigation: You can navigate to Shanghai Mansion, then walk 200 meters through the small alley opposite to reach it ❤️ Travel Tips ❶ Some areas inside do not allow photography, please understand and respect ❷ You can burn sage and make wishes in front of the square; a pack of sage branches costs 5💰 ❸ You can light a butter lamp for free in the lamp room —————————————————— 🚙 Post-80s RV self-driving couple Vanlife 🎈 Self-driving | Travel | Lifestyle | Outdoors
