    "Can't say that this attraction is not good, maybe I don't know much about Tibetan culture, so I don't have that shocking feeling! Especially for those with children, the children don't seem to be too interested! There are a lot of Tibetan clothes rented outside, but the door is not allowed to enter after the rent is put on. I don't know why!"

    Highlights: Kumbum Monastery (also called Ta'er Temple) is a Tibetan gompa with more than 400 years of history. Located in Xining's Huangzhong County, it belongs to the Gelug (or Yellow) School of Tibetan Buddhism. Kumbum Monastery has a number of ancient buildings including the main hall, Scripture Hall, Buddha Pagoda, and academy. At the center of the monastery complex, visitors will find the Dajinwa (Great Golden Tile) Temple. According to legend, this temple was erected on the site where Je Tsongkhapa, founder of the Gelug School, was born. A visit to Kumbum is not complete without taking the time to see and appreciate the butter sculptures, the murals, and the elaborate embroidery. The entire temple complex is full of magnificent buildings and rich treasures. However, the true charm of the complex lies in its holy atmosphere. It is one of the greatest tourist attractions in Xining.

    "If you come to Xining to only go to a museum, then it must be the Tibetan Culture Museum, the shock of the fourth floor, the beauty of the second and third floors. Be sure to go, the traffic is very convenient, nearby is the Xining Museum group, you can stay for a day. The Tibetan Culture Museum should slowly appreciate the three hours reserved. I took my four-year-old daughter for nearly 2 hours. I was going to get off work and was urged by the staff to leave. The fourth floor Wenchuang copywriting is good. There is no exhibition hall on the first floor. When I went there, I had already got off work at the Wenchuang store. It was a pity."
