The only "daughter country" in China, where 20,000 women practice Buddhism

Whether you love traveling or not, you must have heard this sentence: “After Seda, there is no Seda anymore.” Speaking of Buddhist holy places, Seda is truly a "must visit in this lifetime" for countless people. This largest Buddhist college in the world is impressive because of its spreading red houses. Standing on the top of the mountain and looking down, it will surely shock your soul. But few people know that, 300 meters away from Sertar Lama Buddhist College, Kilometers away, there is a holy place for spiritual practice that is more primitive and shocking than Seda. It is Yachen Monastery. The only "daughter country" As the largest nunnery in China, Yachen Monastery has more than 20,000 monks and nuns. Women make up the majority of the temple, but there are men as well. The locals call the men here "Zaba" and the women "Jiumu".
