Labrang Monastery in Gannan|Everything you see is delightful, both sunny and cloudy days are scenic

Labrang Monastery ⛩️ 📍Address: Labrang Town, Xiahe County, Gannan Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Gansu Province This Tibetan Buddhist sacred site was a chance encounter on the Gannan loop✨ Although I personally find the monastery itself quite standard, the surrounding natural environment is truly stunning!🏞️ Labrang Monastery on a sunny day ☀️ The golden roofs shine under the blue sky and white clouds, every snapshot looks like a postcard-worthy masterpiece (P3-P6 are beautiful casual shots taken on sunny days) The monastery on a rainy and cloudy day has a unique charm 🌧️ Amidst the swirling mist, the red walls and golden roofs appear faintly, the camera can’t fully capture that mysterious feeling (P1-P2 show the atmospheric rainy day vibe) Recommended activities: ✅ Take photos and check in at the square first (P1 features the same spot as two ladies’ shots) ✅ Spin the prayer wheels for blessings (clockwise, three turns recommended) ✅ Go to the hillside behind the monastery for a panoramic view (P7 offers a breathtaking perspective) Tips: 1. Admission fee: 40 RMB per person 2. Best travel season: June to August 3. Altitude: 3200 meters, watch out for altitude sickness 4. Respect local beliefs, do not touch the Buddha statues casually Actually, the scenery here is more worth seeing than the monastery itself! Highly recommend combining this with other Gannan attractions for your trip~
