A‘Rou Grand Temple

Arou Temple, also known as "Alik Temple", is located 21 kilometers southeast of Babao Town, Qilian County. Tourists often pass here when they visit Qilian to Menyuan and other places to visit the temple. The monastery was built in the Shunzhi period of the Qing Dynasty. The temple was built on a small scale at the beginning, but in the 1940s, with the support of Arou Qianhu Nanka Caiang and Baihu Aduo and others, it developed into a large-scale Gelug monastery in Qilian County. Arou Temple is located on a hilly grassland, surrounded by green grasslands rolling up and down, very beautiful. The monastery has traditional Tibetan courtyard-style buildings, a main hall, a golden pagoda, a corridor, etc. It is very beautiful to take pictures outside the building. Visitors come here to stroll through the temple and visit and worship one by one. In addition, it has not yet been developed as a scenic spot, so the atmosphere is relatively quiet, giving people a feeling of sacred nature.
