Thinking of going to Seda to purify your soul? I advise you to think thrice! Seda's ethnic and folk religious culture is profound and extensive, it is also one of the birthplaces of 'The Epic of King Gesar', with Gesar culture and temple religious culture representing a very important position in ethnic and folk culture. In addition to religious temples, there are also attractions like the Hoxi Wildlife Conservation Area, Seda Five-Color Sea, and other beautiful sceneries.

||Seda. Seda, located in Ganzi Prefecture, Sichuan Plateau. The plateau scenery of Seda County is beautiful, surrounded by mountains, countless maroon wooden houses are built along the mountain, the red that spreads all over the pits and valleys and spreads all over the slopes on all sides, stretches endlessly, and you can't see the edge at a glance. In the early morning, with the chanting, one can feel a kind of purification of the soul. At night, the lights gradually light up, illuminating the sky above Seda, which is incomparably beautiful. If you want to let go of some trivial matters, come on a pilgrimage of vision and soul.

In mid-June, I just returned from Seda Although the travel time was relatively short I still think this place is very good This Buddhist academy, located on a plateau at an altitude of 4200 meters Surrounded by magnificent snow-capped mountains and vast grasslands Attracts monks and scholars from all over the world They come here to study, communicate, and research Buddhist doctrines For us, the architecture of Seda Buddhist Academy is also eye-catching Its style is full of Tibetan characteristics, the architectural complex is neat and orderly, and the momentum is magnificent 📍Address: Located in Luoruo Town, Seda County, Ganzi Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan Province, navigate to Seda Buddhist Academy⛪️ 🏠Accommodation: You can stay in Luoruo Town, next to the entrance of Seda Larung Gar Buddhist Academy 🎫Tickets: When I went, I could only buy the 168 yuan ticket, the 40 yuan online ticket was closed, you need to book in advance 📸Photography: ✅Seda Tancheng: You can follow the monks and walk around the Tancheng three times clockwise on each level ✅Observation Deck: 300 meters up from the Tancheng, there is an observation deck where you can overlook the entire Seda Buddhist Academy⛪️ ✅Seda Night View: The night view🌃 is also very impressive, you can take the bus🚌 out after sunset, the latest is 9 o'clock ⚠️Photography Notice: Do not disturb the local monks🙅‍♂️ ⚠️Note: The temperature difference in the mountains is large, you need to wear thick clothes🧥, the altitude is high, walk slowly, otherwise it is easy to get hypoxia

A round trip of three days, with a long journey, just to see the charm of Seda. The day before the trip, due to heavy snow, all the tickets booked online were cancelled. Worried about the trip being ruined, I contacted the scalpers in advance, in case I couldn't buy tickets, I would buy from the scalpers. I was lucky. I arrived at the Seda Jinma Distribution Center in the morning and just bought the last bus ticket to the Buddhist Academy in the morning. From the distribution center to the Buddhist Academy is about twenty to thirty kilometers. Along the way, the whole area of red houses is in sight, feeling that the journey of more than ten hours is not in vain. Seda is very beautiful, as beautiful as another world. Regrettably, when I walked down from the altar city to the library and prepared to return to the altar city, I suddenly felt dizzy and had altitude sickness, so I couldn't see the sky burial. Perhaps it's just not destined with the sky burial. When we were in the altar city, a Tibetan child came to us and said he could take us there. It costs 50 per person, which is actually taking a bus down the mountain and then walking up the mountain. Those who went said it was very tiring and not very pleasant in the end. I had no feeling at all when I went to Yulong Snow Mountain at 4680 meters above sea level, and I didn't have altitude sickness at 4000 meters above sea level in Western Sichuan, but I had severe altitude sickness in Seda. Friends who go to Seda still need to be mentally prepared, bring oxygen, just in case. There is a hospital in the Buddhist Academy, but it only opens at three o'clock in the afternoon in winter. You don't have to take the sightseeing bus into the mountain when you go down the mountain. You can take the bus down the mountain. There are many drivers who pull passengers back to Chengdu or Seda County. You need to bargain. Some drivers charge 70 per person to Seda. If you get on the bus and there are no other passengers, you may not leave for half an hour or an hour. My friends took a 7-seater car and paid 10 yuan per person to Seda County.

Excited. On the way, you can see a lot of scenery that you haven't seen or experienced before. However, the altitude over there is high, so you need to be aware of altitude sickness. If you are prone to altitude sickness, you should start taking Rhodiola a week in advance. However, it is quite expensive at the pharmacy, so I didn't buy it at the time. Instead, I bought some cold medicine, band-aids, and Huoxiang Zhengqi liquid. You can also buy Gaoyuan'an and headache powder. I bought them at the inn because they sell them in smaller quantities, making them cheaper. For Gaoyuan'an, you should start taking it two days before reaching higher altitudes, and it will generally be effective when you reach higher elevations. The headache powder is also useful on the road, as it works quite quickly.
