Gannan's scenic ceiling! Please, heavens, light me up!

🌅Gannan's scenic ceiling! Please, heavens, light me up! Tickets + elevator for the First Bend of the Yellow River cost 105 yuan. I originally just wanted to try my luck— but unexpectedly! I actually witnessed the spectacular scene of sunset, lightning, storm, and colorful clouds all in one frame! Before setting off, the sky was completely overcast, I thought since I was here, I’d just take a look and leave. But as soon as I took the elevator up, the sky instantly cleared, At that moment, I truly felt— Man’s plans can’t compare to what heaven grants; the scenery is a divine miracle created by the heavens! Today, I also visited Gamo Monastery. White walls and red eaves, monks walking through, It’s not as grand in scale as Labrang Monastery, but it has more of the "everyday atmosphere of Tibetan Buddhism." It’s perfect for walking around the monastery quietly, observing the light and shadow, tiles, and prayer wheels. The Buddha statues inside are really large and impressive, and the murals are very exquisite. First Bend of the Yellow River: • Elevator + ticket ¥105 • The elevator takes you directly to the viewing platform, so it’s not tiring, but you have to walk down on foot. • Check the weather in advance for sunset time! The sunset combined with clouds is even more stunning.
