Seda Travel Guide: Explore the Red Buddhist Kingdom, a Pilgrimage Destination of a Lifetime!

📍Best time to visit: April-October, mild climate, stunning scenery. 🚗Transportation: About 10 hours' drive from Chengdu, with breathtaking views along National Highway 318. 🔥Must-see attractions: 1️⃣ Larung Gar Buddhist Academy: The world's largest Tibetan Buddhist academy, with tens of thousands of red houses covering the valley, an incredibly stunning sight! When the lights come on in the evening, it looks like a galaxy falling to earth. 2️⃣ Mandala: The highest point of the Buddhist academy, a sacred place for prayer and circumambulation, with a glorious golden roof and stunning night views. 3️⃣ Sky Burial Platform (visit with caution): Witness the cycle of life and death, experience Tibetan funeral culture, and maintain reverence. 4️⃣ Donggar Monastery: The first of the three major monasteries in Seda, resplendent and magnificent, a treasure of Tibetan Buddhist art. 5️⃣ Seda Grassland: Under the blue sky and white clouds, yaks roam in herds, as if stepping into a painting. 🍜Food recommendations: Tibetan noodles, butter tea, tsampa, black yak meat, experience authentic Tibetan cuisine. ⚠️Important notes: - Altitude 4000m+, be aware of altitude sickness and avoid strenuous exercise. - Respect religious customs, no photos or loud noises in temples. - Currently, reservations and sightseeing buses are required to enter the Buddhist academy, and visiting time is limited, so plan ahead. ✨Seda is not just a trip, but a spiritual baptism! Save it and get ready to go!📸✨
