Many tourists think that only tours in Tibet can make them feel the Tibetan ambience. But many tourists are not suitable to travel in Tibetan Highland. In this case, Gannan Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture can help you recognise your dream. The following will give you the introduction of Labuleng Monastery.
The south of China's Gansu Province, known as the Gannan Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, is considered as the holy land with Tibetan Buddhist ambience. The Labuleng Buddist Monastery is representive. The Labuleng Buddhist Monastery is located 1 kilometer away from the west of Xiahe County, Gansu Province.
Constructed in 1710 by Jia Muyang, the first living Buddha, the monaster is the largest cultural center of the Tibetan Buddhism in Gansu, Qinghai and Sichuan.
The architecture is a mixture of Tibetan architecture and ancient Chinese palaces, with golden iron tiles, cupreous goats, Buddhist wheels, flags for rites, and precious bottles on the top, as well as all kinds of vivid Buddhist
sculptures.
Labuleng Buddhist Monastery became well-known to Chinese people mostly because of veteran director Feng Xiaogang's 2005 year movie, "A World without Thieves." However, its sanctified status has been deep in the hearts of Gannan locals for thousands of years.
Every year, pilgrims from across China and around the world come to Labuleng Buddhist Monastery. The grand religious ceremonies are respectively held on January 4th-17th, and June 29th to July 15th on the Lunar calendar.
