After the Tibetan tour five years ago, it seems that I have not seen such a spectacular Tibetan architecture and Tibetan Buddhist culture for a long time. Lapu Temple is one of the centers of the Gelug Sect (Huangjiao) of Tibetan Buddhism outside Tibet. The palace is second only to the Potala Palace. The people, animals, and bricks and tiles, even the air, exude the power of faith. I am ignorant, I thought that Tibetan Buddhism was only in Tibet. I didnt expect it to be in the Xiahe County of Gansu Province. There is such a temple called Lapu Temple, which made me feel the feeling of Lhasa. It is simply another form of the Potala Palace. The Labrang Monastery is famous for its rigorous academics, scholars in the temple, and living Buddhas. It is known as the higher education institution of Tibetan Buddhism in the Northwest. Seven large-scale guilds are held each year, with the largest and most grandest of the first month of the Maulan Law Society, the July Rozha Law Society and the September Time Wheel Law Society. "Labor" is the accent of the Tibetan "Lezhang", which means the palace of the monk, in fact it is a palace. There are various worshippers on the outskirts of the temple. Transfigured, long-headed, and even in addition to people, there are various animals that also believe in Tibetan Buddhism. Tickets: Lapu Temple is free, Gongtang Pagoda needs 20 yuan tickets. Opening time: 08
