What did I capture while strolling through Songzanlin Monastery? A guide||On January 4, I came to this place that lacks oxygen but not faith. Songzanlin Monastery is the largest Tibetan Buddhist monastery in Yunnan and is known as the Little Potala Palace. It's worth a visit. 🌅 Songzanlin Monastery is known as the City of Sunlight, as the first ray of sunlight in the morning will hit the golden roof. 🏯 The overall color scheme of the monastery is red and yellow, with the golden roof shining brightly in the sun. It looks especially beautiful against the blue sky. 👨🏽‍🦲 The temple is mostly filled with tourists, many of whom are travel photographers wearing Tibetan clothing. Occasionally, you may encounter a monk in a red robe. 🧩 Travel guide: 1️⃣ Transportation: Take a taxi to the Songzanlin Monastery Visitor Center or take Bus No. 3. 2️⃣ Ticket purchase: Buy tickets at the manual ticket window. The ticket price is RMB 65, which includes the entrance ticket and a one-way bus ticket (bring your ID card). 3️⃣ Scenic area introduction: The entire monastery is built by the mountains and water and is mainly composed of three parts: ① Three main halls: The top three halls from right to left are the Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha halls. ② Eight side halls: Eight side halls are prefixed with the names of eight regions and are called Kangtsang in Tibetan. ③ Hundreds of monk houses: The small white houses are the residences of monks, with more than 100 in total. 4️⃣ Recommended tour route: Buy tickets at the scenic area visitor center → Take a bus to the entrance of Songzanlin Monastery → Tour Songzanlin Monastery clockwise from left to right → Check in at the hillside next to the monastery → Walk around Lamuyangcuo Lake → Take a taxi to leave 5️⃣ Notes: ① According to Tibetan Buddhist tradition, you should go up the stairs on the left and down on the right, and tour the scenic area clockwise. 🔃 ② No photos are allowed inside any of the halls, but you can take photos in open-air areas. 📸
