| Be amazed by the Tibetan aesthetics of Lingyan Temple. 📸 Lanzhou's hidden gem - Shifogou [Lingyan Temple] You won't regret coming here! It's amazing 🤩 ⛰️ Lingyan Temple is located in Shifogou Scenic Area, which is great for hiking and climbing. If you're not here for hiking, we recommend taking the shuttle bus or a black cab at the entrance to the mountain. The temple is located in the middle of the scenic area. Most people take the shuttle bus to the top of the mountain [Guanyin Square] to climb and enjoy the view, then take the shuttle bus down to see [Lingyan Temple]. Be sure to tell the driver your destination, or you'll be taken directly to the top of the mountain. ☕ There is a small coffee bar at the temple's Dharma Circulation Office. If you want coffee or drinks, a lama will make them for you. They're very nice. Prices range from 18 to 28. I bought an orange-flavored Americano and sat at the entrance to enjoy the sun. It was very comfortable. 🏮 The entire temple is in Tibetan style and is very exquisite! It's also quite large, with some climbing sections. I really enjoyed the visit. There are cultural buildings and natural scenery, and it's not crowded. If you don't want to go to crowded attractions, come to Lingyan Temple. You won't regret it!

There is a small path on the right side of the main hall, which is said to lead directly to the top of the mountain. I followed the stone steps for a while and it turned into a dirt road, and it forked to the left and right. After standing for a few minutes, two people came over, so I asked them for directions. They said the road was difficult and far, so I decisively decided to return down the mountain the same way. At this time, I was already hungry.
