Travel Notes of Maerkang - Changlie Temple by Chen Che

Maerkang is the capital of Aba Prefecture. Previously, when visiting Aba, it was often just used as a transit rest. This time on the way back, I studied it well and felt that Changlie Temple around Aba was very good, so I set off immediately. Changlie Temple is not far from the city, and the road conditions are very OK. However, it is a winding mountain road, very tortuous, be careful of falling rocks and pay attention to merging cars. There is no signal many times along the way. The current number of people coming to Changlie Temple is not many, but I see that it is building a tourist area, and there may be more people later. You can enter several main halls for visit, but please respect the customs to take off your hat and shoes. It's actually a very good choice to stay quietly in the Buddha Hall for a while. You can turn the scriptures outside, watch the snow-capped mountains, very healing. The temple has a matching canteen, which is developed for tourists. We chose a fried rice and vegetarian hot pot. You might as well try it, especially choosing the window position, which is the super invincible luxury snow mountain view🏔️ After the meal, we went to the meadow behind the temple to spread the Ronda, the scenery is beautiful, but the wind and sand are also big. Overall, while there are few people, Changlie Temple is a great location that combines both cultural and natural landscapes, worth a visit. Depart from Chengdu and arrive all the way by expressway. You can leave on Saturday and return to the city on Sunday.
