The place is not a big walk for about 15 minutes, there is a Tibetan temple style. Passing by Zhaosu, you can go to see it. The ticket was small, but there was a wing cartoon that could be free of tickets, and the price/performance ratio was high.
Today, go to the Shengyou Temple. Shengyou Temple is the largest lama temple in Xinjiang, and the largest and most complete Tibetan Buddhist temple in the Northwest region. Unfortunately, it has been abandoned, and there is no lama, which has become a tourist perspective.
I stayed at Zhaosu on the Yizhao Highway for one night. I went to see it the next morning. It is said that the history is quite long but it is really small. The 30 tickets feel a bit expensive. It is under maintenance. There are not many content to see. People are not many.
Shengyou Temple is a Tibetan Buddhist monastery. The scenic area is not large, but the history is long. Most buildings are damaged at present. There is a visitor center in the scenic area for tourists to rest. It is recommended that tourists go to the scenic area to play, please ask a tour guide to accompany them.
