Xialu Temple

Xialu Temple in Shigatse, Tibet is definitely a niche destination. This time, I passed by and checked in. It takes about 10 minutes to turn in from the road. The whole temple is very historical and suitable for quiet and slow visit.

Xialu Temple is 3,849 meters above sea level. The time and fame of the temple were spread very early in post-Tibet, and earlier than the Tashilu Temple. Xialu means "new and tender leaves" in Tibetan. First there is Xialu Temple and then there is Xialu Village. So far, Xialu Temple is still surrounded by villages. You can't see the temple at all from outside the village. The ancient temple has to be mysterious. Taste the taste of the ancient temple carefully and slowly understand the history of the millennium.

Follow the 349 National Road all the way, encounter the Xialu Village road sign and turn right and walk about 3 kilometers, then to Xialu Temple, 3,849 meters above sea level, is one of the larger temples in Tibetan Buddhism. This 14th century influential temple, in addition to the precious Yuan Dynasty murals, as well as stone carving paintings and Basiba's notices and other documents, as well as a large number of Buddha statues, scriptures, Tangka, legal instruments and other historical relics, historical materials are very precious. It also makes Xialu Temple a place in many Buddhist temples in Tibet.

Xialu Temple is located in a mountainous area southeast of Shigatse City, Jiacuoxiong Township, 26 kilometers from the center of Shigatse. According to legend, this place was once one of the top ten shopping cities in Tuo. According to the history of the temple, Xialu Temple was built in 1087 AD, equivalent to the Song Dynasty Zhezong Yuanyou two years. The founder of the temple is Jay Zunjia Rao Nie.
