Go to Gannan during the Spring Festival and enjoy the feast of the Buddha Sunning Festival

During the Spring Festival, when most people are immersed in the traditional New Year atmosphere, you might as well embark on a different journey and head to Gannan to enjoy a soul-stirring Buddha Sunning Festival feast. Gannan, this magical land located on the northeastern edge of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, has a unique and charming charm during the Spring Festival. When you step into this land, it's like entering a mysterious world of religious culture. The Buddha Sunbathing Festival is a grand festival of Tibetan Buddhism in Gannan. At Labrang Monastery, on the 13th day of the first lunar month, the sun had not yet completely dispelled the winter chill, but there were already crowds of people outside the monastery. Believers came from all directions with the most devout faith. As the horn sounded, the huge thangka Buddha statue, led by the monks, slowly unfolded on the hillside like a slowly blooming lotus. The bright colors and delicate brushstrokes depict not only the Buddha statues, but also the Tibetan people's wishes for a better life and their respect for Buddhism. The monks, dressed in red robes, lined up neatly, and the sound of their chanting echoed through the valley, as if traveling through time and space, bringing people into a pure and sacred realm.
