Xiahe Shangu: A Tibetan-style poetic retreat

The morning bell and evening drum of Labrang Monastery, and the devout pilgrims under the blue sky and white clouds, make up my most unforgettable impression of Gannan. For this trip, I chose a very special homestay - Xiahe Shangu Homestay, which not only has an excellent location, but also allows you to experience a different Tibetan style. 🍵 Slow time in the fragrance of tea 🍃 As soon as you step into the homestay, a fresh woody fragrance greets you. The tea room here is designed in a traditional yet modern way, and through the spacious and bright floor-to-ceiling windows, you can clearly see the golden Labrang Monastery and the majestic Woxiang Mountain in the distance. When the afternoon sun is just right, making a pot of good tea, sitting here quietly in a daze, or chatting with friends, are all great choices. Occasionally looking up out the window, you may be able to catch a few pigeons flying freely in the sky, and at that moment it seems as if time has stopped. 🏡 Cozy family room 🏠 For friends who come with their families, this is definitely the best choice! The family room is very thoughtfully arranged, not only spacious enough, but also equipped with electric blankets and other facilities to ensure that every guest can enjoy a warm and comfortable night. In addition, the toiletries provided in the room are also quite complete, from toothbrushes to conditioners, so you don't need to prepare anything extra, which is really worry-free and labor-saving! 🏞️ Beautiful sunset on the viewing platform 🌄 In the evening, take a walk along the path in the homestay to the viewing platform, and you will find that there is a hidden place to watch the sunset. When the last ray of sunlight gently falls on the golden roof of the temple, the whole world is dyed orange, beautiful and intoxicating. At this moment, you might as well take out your phone or camera to record this rare scene, and I believe that every photo will become an enviable presence in your circle of friends. 🍜 Local delicacies not to be missed 🍲 Speaking of the part that foodies care about, there is a very popular small shop near Xiahe Shangu Homestay, and their yak hot pot is simply delicious! Using fresh local yak meat as the main ingredient, paired with a variety of special seasonings, every bite can feel the tender and juicy meat, with endless aftertaste. Even picky eaters will fall in love with this authentic flavor! If you are looking for a place where you can get close to nature and enjoy a high-quality accommodation experience, then Xiahe Shangu Homestay is definitely worth recommending! Come here to start a beautiful journey full of poetry and distance~✨
