The "Kingdom of Women" in Western Sichuan | The largest existing "Tibetan nunnery"

| The largest existing Tibetan nunnery. It is hidden deep in the plateau at the junction of western Sichuan and Tibet. It is more remote, more niche, and more secluded than Seda. It is surrounded by mountains, with an average altitude of over 4,100 meters. Here is Ganbai Road, a super niche natural landscape avenue. There is a red barrier like the color of Seda, but only women are allowed to enter. This is also the largest place for women to practice meditation in the country! 🖼️Attractions: Yachen Monastery 📍Location: Near County Road 037, Baiyu County, Ganzi Prefecture, Sichuan 🚘Self-driving: 128 kilometers from Baiyu County, about 2 hours. The road condition is very good and cars can pass freely. 🎫Tickets: Free🆓 🅿️Parking: Free🆓 🏨Accommodation: There are many hotels in Yachen Monastery, 60 yuan per person, 120 yuan for a standard room 📸Photography: The best time to take photos is from 7:30-9:00 in the morning and from 5:00-7:00 in the afternoon. There is morning mist before the sun comes out in the early morning. The best place to take photos is at the observation deck. ✅✅✅Game Guide❗ 1️⃣The road condition to Yachen Monastery is very good, so those who drive cars don’t have to worry. 2️⃣The altitude here is over 4,000 meters, so those who are prone to altitude sickness should do so according to their ability. But I personally think the vegetation is better than that in Seda and the oxygen content is higher. 3️⃣The best place to view the view is at the viewing platform on the top of the mountain. You can drive directly to the entrance of the plank road. Cars can be parked on both sides of the road for free, which is very friendly. 4️⃣The wooden plank road to the observation deck is very well built, and the climb is not too high, so there is no need to worry about physical strength. 5️⃣Before the sun comes out in the morning, the wooden plank road is slippery because of hidden ice, so please pay attention to safety. 6️⃣It is recommended that you stay in Yachen Monastery at night so that you can see the sunset and sunrise in the early morning. The most beautiful scenery is at this time. 7️⃣ Let me introduce to you the food and accommodation at Yachen Monastery. There are many small hotels for accommodation, and the unified price is basically 60 yuan per person. The conditions are similar to those of small hotels in rural areas, but I personally think they are relatively clean and livable. You are not allowed to eat meat in Yachen Monastery, so all the restaurants only serve vegetarian food. However, the food tastes good and the prices are reasonable, with an average of more than 20 yuan per dish. 8️⃣Due to the high altitude, the temperature difference between day and night is large, please pay attention to sun protection and keep warm
