Labrang Monastery

It is often said that the three key elements of a good photograph are the model, the model, and the model. A young and beautiful model can make for a great photo. A model with a weathered look and a sense of story can also make for a great photo. How to age gracefully? I found an answer in them: give up resistance and age quietly in accordance with nature. Early in the morning, I rushed to the temple to witness the grand annual ceremony: the Buddha Sunning Festival. The county town was shrouded in morning fog, still not awake. The sky was filled with drones. Residents from surrounding areas dressed in their finest to attend the ceremony, making the temple very lively. Locals spoke in a language we couldn't understand, and they also had difficulty understanding Mandarin. Being here felt almost like being abroad, and there were very few shops in the entire county town. Travel is like this, although it may be fraught with difficulties at the time, when you look back and see so many wonderful photos, you'll feel it was worth the journey.

After experiencing the earthquake, our convoy continued to Ruoergai in Sichuan, passing through Linxia near the earthquake zone, passing through Labrang Monastery, passing through Sangke Prairie, Ruoergai Flower Lake... We also asked the locals in Linxia about the earthquake. The local shaking was quite severe, but fortunately, there were no casualties or damage to buildings. This travel route in Gannan is very popular. The scenery of Labrang Monastery and Sangke Prairie is picturesque, with a deep cultural heritage. Then to Ruoergai, a place famous for the Red Army's Long March, it is hoped that the scenery is beautiful. Summer here is the peak tourist season, with more self-driving tourists. Winter adds a bit of bleakness, which is a different kind of scenery.
