Longwu Temple is located on the southwest side of the county seat of Tongren County, Huangnan Prefecture. It was built in the Yuan Dynasty and is one of the famous Tibetan Buddhism temples in Amdo Tibetan area (Qinghai and Gansu area). Labrang Monastery is an ancient Tibetan Buddhist monastery. When visiting Longwu Temple, you can watch the magnificent Tibetan Buddhist temple complex, learn the story of Tibetan Buddhism, and watch many exquisite thangkas. It is a good tourist destination. More importantly, it is quieter and purer than the Ta'er Temple, which is a good choice for tourists who like quietness. Like ordinary Tibetan Buddhist monasteries, Longwu Temple is composed of many scattered buildings. The main hall in the scenic area is the Great Scripture Hall of Wensi College, which is equivalent to the Mahavira Hall of Chinese Buddhism. There will be monks debating scriptures here every afternoon, and you can come and watch. Other buildings in the temple mainly include Tiannv Hall, Lingta Hall, Guanyin Hall, Wenshu Hall, Quwa Hall, etc., which can be viewed one by one. The special feature here is the Thangka works. Since Tongren County is a famous hometown of Regong art, the Thangka here is exceptionally beautiful and worth visiting. There are also some resplendent Buddha statues in the courtyard of the temple, which can be viewed.Tongren · 1.1 km from downtown

Aqiong Nanzong Temple is located in the central scenic area of Danxia landform in Kambura National Forest Park. It is a Nyingma monastery of Tibetan Buddhism. It is a historic site where an eminent monk lived and has a history of more than 1,000 years. Here the peaks are protruding, the mountains are peculiar, the trees are green, the springs are gurgling, and the scenery is very magnificent. To the northeast of the monastery stands a towering and steep Nanzong Peak, which is as extraordinary as Mount Huashan. To the north of her, there is a stone-stepped mountain path that is the only one that can reach the peak. Most of them are excavated from the cliff. Passing through, some sections are almost straight up and down from the cliff, as steep as climbing a cloud ladder. From the stone path to the top, you can see an ancient temple hidden in the pines. This ancient temple is composed of five small grottoes. Some of these grottoes are naturally formed, and some are excavated. The cave door passes through. The velvet is repaired, the eaves are on the mountain, and it is elegant and beautiful. Climbing to Nanzong Peak and overlooking, the magnificent Kambra scenery is unobstructed.Jainca · 31.7 km from downtown

Wutun Xia Temple is also known as "Senge Yang Xia Temple". In Tibetan, it is called "Gedan Phuntsok Qulin", which means "good and perfect Dharma continent". The Wutun Xia Temple has a Dajing Hall, a Maitreya Hall, a Dharma Protection Hall, a tea house and a courtyard. The building covers an area of about 80 acres. The important cultural relics in the temple include provincial cultural relics such as the sandalwood carving of Maitreya Buddha in the Qing Dynasty, and there are five Shakyamuni Buddha hair relics that are said to have been invited from India. In addition, there are more than 1,000 monks' relics offered as offerings. The temple has a collection of Buddhist scriptures such as "Kangyur" and "Dangyur", with a large number of more than 7,000 copies. Outside the monastery, there are eight white pagodas named "Eight Pagodas of Liberation", all of which were donated and built by Wutun villagers. Wutunxia Temple has many decorative patterns with Tibetan national characteristics, mainly some wooden walls and partitions, as well as interior decorations and daily utensils. This pattern art has largely jumped out of the scope of Buddhist art. The signs of a secular development are clear. Dharma Assembly Post: The Dharma Hui at Wutunxia Temple starts every year on the eighth day of the first lunar month.Tongren · 6.2 km from downtown

It's changed a lot; I haven't been here for ten years, but the scenery is still beautiful. The reservoir is azure, the Danxia landforms are magnificent, and the peaks stand tall. There are now man-made walking trails, which adds to the fun, and shuttle buses and escalators have been installed, making things much more convenient. Overall, it's quite good, and it's still the scenery I love!

Originally built in the 14th century, this Sakya temple later converted to the Gelugpa tradition. The pre-sunset sunlight shone brightly on the golden dome of the temple. Inside, only a few tourists were present, quietly admiring the Buddha statues, thangkas, and embroidery, all of which were truly magnificent. There were no guides or explanations within the temple, and while visitors were neither prohibited nor welcomed, it was a place of spiritual practice.

Guomari Castle is located not far from the north of Tongren City. People still live in the castle, which is still very large. There are many ancient residential houses that are hundreds of years old.

Entering Nanzonggou, the reddish-brown Danxia peaks rise like towering pagodas, while pines and cypresses stubbornly cling to the cliffs. Clear springs gurgle at the bottom of the valley, and the mountain breeze carries the fragrance of grass and trees past your ears. Occasionally, a argali sheep flashes by between the cliffs. There is movement within stillness, like a flowing painting of Danxia mountains and clear waters on the plateau. Danxia is the body, the Yellow River is the vein, and ancient temples are the soul. Here, the creation of nature and human beliefs are perfectly integrated.
