Why can’t you just go to Langmusi?

You can’t go to Langmusi casually, because the temple is very solemn and the viewing experience is quite poor.

However, the entire temple is under construction, and there are excavated ground and cement and sand everywhere, but the tickets are still collected. I feel that such an environment is really not worth the tickets. You can't park in the parking lot, and you have to walk a long cement and sand road. The Tibetan monk at the door was very unfriendly and was very aggressive in urging people to leave quickly. All in all, the experience was very poor.

Langmusi is really not a temple, but a town at the junction of Gansu and Sichuan. In this plateau town with an altitude of more than 3,000 meters, the most amazing thing is that there are two Langmusi. A gurgling Bailong River naturally separates the two Langmusi. The Langmusi in Gansu is called Saichi Temple. The Langmusi Temple in Sichuan is called Gerdi Temple.

Travel Guide

The best months are from May to September, when the temperature is cool and pleasant and the grassland is full of Gesang flowers. However, the climate is cold in winter, but there are abundant Buddhist activities. The weather is obviously cold, and the wind is very strong on the mountain. If you go there in summer, you need to bring a jacket, it will be very cold in the morning and evening. If you go there in winter, take measures to keep warm. Hats and gloves are essential.

Langmusi town has complete accommodation conditions. There are hotels, B&Bs, youth hostels and other high, middle and low-end accommodations of different levels. The prices vary and you can choose according to your needs. In many characteristic Tibetan inns or youth hostels, every night there will be innkeepers, local Tibetan friends and tourists singing and talking together, which is very enjoyable.

There are also many restaurants in the town, most of which serve Tibetan and Sichuan cuisine. If you are not used to it, there is also a Lisa restaurant that can provide Western food. Because most of the local poor materials are shipped from outside, the price is slightly more expensive than from the mainland.
