Langmusi | The source of the Bailong River favored by the light of the sky and the shadow of the clouds

| The source of the Bailong River favored by the light of the sky and the shadow of the clouds. The White Dragon begins to hide in the tiger's den, still hiding the pastoral scenery. 🗺From Lanzhou all the way south to the deepest part of Gannan Prefecture, you can hear the rumbling sound of the source of the Bailong River from a distance, and this beautiful small mountain basin is Langmusi Town. ✨The ethnic groups living on both sides of the Die Mountain are very complex, and Langmusi Town is no exception. Here, compared to the pure Tibetan cultural area, there is more Hehuang culture. The Hezhou-style mosque Bunk building standing in the town center can be seen. But the center of the whole town is still Dacang Namogel Temple and Saich Temple, although these two temples belong to the Gelug Sect, there are still very complex differences. 💫The rich folk customs, the atmosphere without too much commercial development, and the unique scenery make Langmusi Town unique. Leaving the temple, walking into the deep Namu Grand Canyon in the curling mulberry smoke, thinking about the final destination of this stream in the gurgling water-Chongqing Chaotianmen. 📿Gelden Temple The name of Langmusi is the alias of this temple on the Sichuan side. Compared with the golden and brilliant Saich Temple on the opposite bank, Gelden Temple is more introverted. However, the influence of this temple should not be underestimated. It has a great influence in Aba and Gannan, with 18 branch temples and hundreds of monks. However, although there are many halls in the temple, not many are open, only the Langmusi Culture Museum and Zunsheng Hall can be visited. The Zunsheng Hall enshrines the extraordinary physical Dharma body. 📸Walking to the back mountain of the temple, you can overlook the small town, and there are many walking masters and locals, and many deer frolicking in it, quite wild. If you know the locals, you can ask them to lead into the temple and avoid the entrance fee. 💡Saich Temple This temple belonging to Gansu, I think it is the first impression of most people on Langmusi. This temple is a branch of Zhebang Temple in Lhasa. The magnificent halls descend from the hillside, and the golden hall echoes the small town under the sun and the red stone cliff in the distance, solemn and wonderful. There are more open halls here, and you can spend an afternoon visiting. 🗻Namu Grand Canyon Walking into the deep mountains in the direction of the Sichuan temple, it is the source of the Bailong River in the canyon. Not far into the valley, you can see a arrow tower, marking the location of the Fairy Cave. The name "Langmu" comes from a strange stalactite in the Fairy Cave that looks like a fairy. It is said that there were tigers here, and after the tiger was transformed by the lotus master, it turned into a fairy and guarded one side, gaining people's faith. Continue to go deep into the canyon, you will enter a local grassland, you can also ride a horse to play in this canyon, it is very suitable for a day of leisure hiking. 🚗Langmusi Town is also lively and peaceful, and there is a mosque left in the late Qing Dynasty. Provincial Highway 313 passes through the town, and at the three-way intersection of the provincial highway and the main street of the town, you can wait for buses to Lanzhou, Xiahe and other places.
