Western Sichuan unveils the mystery of the Baiyu Gaden Monastery.

🌟Are you tired of the hustle and bustle of the city and longing for a spiritual baptism? Hidden among the mountains in western Sichuan, there is a little-known Buddhist holy place - Baiyu Gaden Monastery. This place is not only a home for faith, but also a paradise for photography enthusiasts. Follow my footsteps to uncover the mystery of this red Buddhist country and experience a unique journey. 🚗Heading west, encountering the red miracle🚗Starting from Chengdu, along the winding mountain road, our goal is the red miracle located on the top of the mountain - the White Jade Gaden Monastery. The scenery along the way is like a flowing painting, which makes people feel relaxed and happy. As the altitude increases, the air becomes fresher and the soul seems to be purified. 🏰The ocean of red houses, the power of faith 🏰When you stand in front of Gaden Monastery, you will be shocked by the large complex of dazzling red buildings in front of you. These red houses are not only the residences of monks, but also a symbol of faith. In this red ocean, you can feel the power of faith and your soul will find unprecedented peace. 📚Shiming Buddhist College, the Hall of Wisdom📚In addition to the temple, there is also the famous Shiming Buddhist College here. Here, you can learn about the rich disciplines from the "Five Sciences" to the "Ten Sciences", from Buddhism, medicine to technology, each of which is an exploration of wisdom. If you are interested in Buddhist culture, this is undoubtedly a treasure trove of knowledge for you. 🍲Food and accommodation are indispensable. In Baiyu County, you can taste authentic Tibetan delicacies such as butter tea, highland barley wine and yak jerky, each bite of which is an ultimate temptation to the taste buds. As for accommodation, choosing a cost-effective inn will allow you to experience the local customs and enjoy a comfortable resting environment. 🧳Travel tips to make your journey more perfect🧳 • Due to the high altitude, please remember to bring warm clothes to prevent altitude sickness. • Before taking photos inside a temple, it is best to obtain the monks’ permission as a sign of respect. • If you are a photography enthusiast, remember to bring your camera, the sunrise and sunset here are definitely worth recording. • Finally, don’t forget to bring an adventurous heart, because every place here is full of surprises. 🌄If you have enough time, you might as well choose to take a trip around western Sichuan during a holiday.
