[2025 Sertar Attraction] Travel Guide for Sertar (Updated Oct)

...it's just too beautiful!!! When the boundless red comes into view, your heart will be deeply touched. This is Seda, a place full of mystery and the power of faith. Before you pack your bags and embark on this spiritual journey, take a look at this carefully compiled guide to help you have a perfect trip to Seda. Seda Larung Gar Buddhist Academy, the largest Tibetan Buddhist academy in the world Seda Larung Gar Buddhist Academy, a pure land of Buddha, is located in Luoruo Town, Seda County, Ganzi Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan Province. Countless crimson-red monk houses densely cover the hillside, creating a magnificent and spectacular scene. Reservation method Make sure to book 48 hours in advance on the "Larunggou Jingou" mini program. There are only two booking slots per day, at 10:00 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. Make sure to book on time to avoid missing out. The origin of the red houses Initially, newly arrived practitioners, in order to solve the accommodation problem, used local materials and built simple wooden sheds on the hillside. To give these dwellings sacred meaning, they painted them all red. Over time, red became the main color of this land, and the red houses became a unique symbol of Seda. Photography tips Corridor shots: The corridors on both sides of the academy are excellent photo spots. Standing in the corridor, you can take photos of yourself with the red houses, and also capture the scattered red monk houses in the distance, creating a photo with a rich sense of layering. Back mountain view: If you want to overlook the entire Seda, you need to challenge yourself with a hike up the back mountain, which has an altitude of 4,300 meters. Although the process is somewhat difficult, when you reach the top of the mountain, the red houses all over the mountain against the blue sky and white clouds look like a beautiful painting unfolding before your eyes. Every shot is a masterpiece. When night falls, the starry river is bright, and the dotted lights in the red houses make it feel like you've entered the dreamy cartoon world of Hayao Miyazaki. It's extremely stunning.

It is the red Buddhist country of Seda that I have been dreaming about. There is no religion here, only faith What must you do when you come to Seda? 1. Sky Burial Platform Sky burial is a traditional Tibetan funeral method. The core theory is that the soul is immortal and there is reincarnation. After watching the sky burial, I feel that life and death are just like this. There is nothing to be afraid of. People really need to live well and cherish the present. You can watch quietly, but you cannot take pictures. Opening hours are not fixed; 2. Buddhist College In addition to seeing the red houses scattered all over the mountains, you can also watch the believers' dedication to Buddhism. The monks here are devoted to practice, accumulate merits, chant, kowtow, turn the prayer wheel, and study... They come from afar to 3. Attend a Buddhist class The golden-roofed halls in the Buddhist college are basically lecture halls. What you can't miss when you come to Wuming Buddhist College is to follow the lamas and nuns to listen to a Buddhist class. The class usually lasts about two hours. You can walk in freely. The monks will not stop you, but you must be quiet and abide by the rules. Don't leave in the middle of the class, otherwise it will be disrespectful to the lecturer. 4. Mandala prayer wheel The mandala is located on the highest hillside of the Buddhist Academy and is also the most magnificent place. You can take a bus directly to it at the foot of the mountain (3 yuan per person). The altar has three floors. The first floor is a prayer hall where people pray and turn the prayer wheel at any time of the day. There are always devout believers prostrating themselves in the open space next to it. 5. See the night view It’s all red at first glance. In the morning, you can take pictures of the smoke rising from the Buddhist College. In the afternoon, you can take pictures of the beautiful scenery of the sun shining on the red house. The night view at night is even more stunning! Seda is not a tourist attraction, it is a place where you need to calm down and feel it slowly. 7 days and 6 nights itinerary recommendation: D1: Chengdu - Zheduo Mountain - Yuzixi/Gediram - Xinduqiao D2: Xinduqiao - Litang - Daocheng/Shangri-La Town D3: 1-day tour of Aden - Shangri-La Town D4: Aden Second Valley - Daocheng County D5: Shangri-La Town - Litang - Xinlong - Seda D6: Seda - Wuming Buddhist College - Danba D7: Danba - Shuangqiaogou, Siguniang Mountain - Chengdu 5 days and 4 nights itinerary recommendation: D1: Chengdu - Zheduo Mountain - Red Lake - Yuzixi - Xinduqiao D2: Xinduqiao-Lenggacuo Line B-Xinduqiao D3: Tagong Grassland - Moshi Park - Seda County D4: Sertar Buddhist College - Donggar Monastery - Danba D5: Danba - Siguniang Mountain (Shuangqiaogou) - Chengdu

The Mandala is the highest point of the Buddhist Academy, where you can follow the monks to turn the prayer wheel clockwise to pray for blessings; the viewing platform can overlook the panoramic view of the Buddhist Academy, which is an excellent location for taking pictures. • Sky Burial Platform: Understand the unique funeral culture of Tibetans, but pay attention to respecting customs, keeping quiet, and strictly prohibiting taking pictures. Sky burials are generally held from 13:00 - 15:00 in the afternoon, but the time is uncertain. Currently, officials do not allow tourists to enter. You can privately ask the motorcycle if they can take you to visit. • Dongga Temple: A Red Sect temple with a history of 300 years. The temple is named because the mountain where it is located resembles a conch. Here, you can feel the strong religious atmosphere. 🍜 Food Recommendations • Tibetan food: Tsampa, beef and mutton, ginseng fruit yogurt, butter tea, etc. are all special Tibetan foods. Tsampa is made by stir-frying highland barley, grinding it into powder, and mixing it with butter and tea; hand-grabbed beef and mutton are original and delicious, and it is super satisfying to eat meat in big bites; ginseng fruit yogurt has a dense, sweet and sour taste; butter tea has a rich aroma, which can warm the body and relieve altitude sickness. Recommended restaurants: Xiangbala Tibetan Restaurant, Yamure Tibetan Restaurant. • Sichuan cuisine: You can also find many Sichuan restaurants in Seda County, which are suitable for friends who cannot accept the taste of Tibetan food. Like Chengdu Casserole House and Chuanziwei Restaurant, you can taste the familiar taste of your hometown. Only vegetarian food is available in the Buddhist Academy, mainly vegetarian meals and pasta. 🛏 Accommodation Suggestions • Seda County: There are many accommodation options, and the conditions of hotels and homestays are relatively good, with complete supporting facilities, and it is convenient to eat, drink and play, which is suitable for tourists who pursue a comfortable accommodation experience. • Luoruo Town: It is close to the entrance of the Buddhist Academy, but there are relatively few places to stay and eat. You can choose to live in the town to facilitate entering the Buddhist Academy early the next morning. • Inside the Buddhist Academy: Larong Hotel has a superior location, which is convenient for feeling the atmosphere of the Buddhist Academy, but you can only book a room on site, and the conditions are average, with only electric blankets. ❗ Precautions • Altitude Sickness Prevention: Drink Rhodiola Rosea a week in advance, avoid strenuous exercise after arrival, and prepare oxygen cylinders to deal with altitude sickness. • Respect for Beliefs: Do not take pictures of monks at will, turn the scriptures clockwise, take off your shoes when entering the scripture hall, and men are not allowed to enter the Jue Mu scripture hall; keep quiet during the sky burial ceremony and strictly prohibit taking pictures. • Environmentally Friendly Travel: The Buddhist Academy mainly serves vegetarian food. Bring your own snacks and be careful to take away the garbage to protect the environment of this pure land. • Keep Warm and Sun Protection: The temperature in Seda is low, and a thick coat is essential; at the same time, the ultraviolet rays are strong, so take sun protection measures and bring sunglasses, hats, sunscreen, etc. • Ticketing and Time: Book your tickets in advance and pay attention to the entry time and tour restrictions; if you miss the return bus, you can take the bus in the temple (CNY 3/person) down the mountain, or choose to walk down the mountain. Seda is a spiritual pilgrimage. Here, feel the power of faith, appreciate the unique culture, and encounter shocking beauty. Pack your bags and set off towards this red Buddhist country! 💕
