Adjust font size:

Hereunder are some photos of Langmusi town taken by Zhaoyahui, a reporter from People's Daily on August, 2007 during his three-month tour in northwest China.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

An ideal destination for backpackers as it has not been listed on the itinerary of any Chinese travel agency: a quiet, picturesque Tibetan village at an elevation of 3300 m, beautiful landscape, well preserved Tibetan cultures, unknown to most tourists. Daily life is regulated by Tibetan religious rituals. Curious travelers are even allowed to witness a sky-burial ceremony.

 

Langmusi has two monasteries located on the border of western provinces of Gansu and Sichuan. Sezhi Monastery (色止寺) is in Sichuan Province and Geerdeng Monastery (格尔登寺) in Gansu Province (more...)
