Off-the-beaten-track in Western Sichuan | Tibetan residences in Ganzi and Daofu + Muya Temple against the backdrop of snow-capped mountains

Don't miss the Tibetan-style architecture and culture in Western Sichuan, these two lesser-known destinations allow you to deeply experience the Tibetan culture of Western Sichuan, and they are also very photogenic. They are located along the same route and are not far apart. 🌈┇Daofu Known as the 'Art Capital of Tibetan Residences' in China, you must stay in a Tibetan-style residence here for one night. It combines ethnic culture, architecture, painting, and sculpture, offering a full experience. The Tibetan residences here are divided into traditional and modern styles, but most tourists are not familiar with them. You can ask the innkeeper for more information. Most inns offer free hot butter tea in the morning, which is a Tibetan hospitality tradition. 🎨Daofu Medicinal Clay Sculpture Art Museum This is a lesser-known intangible cultural heritage art museum in Daofu. It is home to the fifth-generation inheritor of Chinese medicinal clay culture, and the museum displays the Tibetan medicinal clay masks and Buddha figures he has made. 🌈┇Tagong The Tagong Prairie has turned yellow in autumn and winter. We drove to the Muya Temple, which is located against the backdrop of the Yala Snow Mountain. It's less crowded and the scenery is stunning! The location is excellent. Muya Temple is a temple complex consisting of a nunnery, a lama temple, a Buddhist college, and a Tibetan hospital, all with a history of over 300 years. On the second floor, you can visit the world's largest Mani stone pile 'Stone Scripture City'. You may encounter Tibetan antelopes here, and it's lucky to take a photo with them. On the way here, you can see people riding horses and taking travel photos. There are also some small lakes where you can capture the snow-capped mountains. 🎫16 yuan 🌟There are also many places in these two locations where you can take photos in Tibetan costumes, which look great against the backdrop of snow-capped mountains and residences! I will definitely take photos next time, remember to set aside half a day. 🌟You can see lamas everywhere in these two towns, which is quite impressive. 🌟You must try the Tibetan-style coffee here. There are good coffee shops in these two towns, which are frequented by many lamas. The coffee is quite good, and the unique barley coffee and butter tea coffee are worth trying. Muya Temple
