Located in Xining's Huangzhong County, it belongs to the Gelug (or Yellow) School of Tibetan Buddhism.

If you only have three days to spare, make every hour count in Xining, Qinghai Province. ⠀ We started our adventure in Xining (西宁), the capital city of the province on the eastern edge of the Qinghai-Tibetan plateau - and a city that played a key role in trade and cultural exchange after opening the Silk Road. And one of the most famous historical places to visit near Xining is Ta’er Monastery (otherwise known as Kumbum Monastery).⠀ ⠀ With 400 years of history, this monastery is a religious activity center that still houses practising monks within the complex that comprises of Buddhist halls, large courtyards, multiple stupas and more. ⠀ It’s not just a Buddhist monastery. It’s a key cultural relic; a place of astounding architecture, vivid colours, mesmerising culture and beautiful craftsmanship / artwork - including delicate sculptures of Buddha, animals and flowers made of yak butter (which need to be crafted by hand in sub-zero temperatures...)! When you start to get peckish, grab a flaky bing filled with minced beef, leek, onion and cabbage. Could not get enough of the crispy, crunchy texture of the outer pastry and the moreish flavour of the filling.⠀ ⠀ 📍Xinqian Yeshi (Food Court) 新千夜市, Xining, Qinghai Province, China. While here you can pick up a variety of dishes native to the province, as well as a couple of other speciality dishes inspired by neighbouring regions! ⠀ 📍Kumbum Monastery, near Xining, Qinghai Province, China #urbanexplorer#qingmingtravelMichaela (@uncoveringcities)42
Built in harmony with the mountain, the monastery and the mountain are one | Ta'er MonasteryQinghai Ta'er Monastery / Photo-taking and Touring Guide / The First Stop on the Great Northwest Circuit We took the train to Xining Station We chartered a car online, and the driver picked us up near the train station and went straight to Ta'er Monastery! 🚗From Xining city center to Ta'er Monastery: about 30 minutes Touring time: about 2 hours Ticket price: Peak season (April 1st to October 31st) $70 per person, off-season $40 per person ⭐Photo-taking and touring suggestions: At that time, we chose places where there were no people to take photos, but as soon as we finished taking photos at one spot, people would start queuing up there to check in, I must be really good at taking photos! ⭐When we went, it was the time when the bodhi trees were blooming, paired with the red walls, it was really beautiful! (Available around July) ⭐Photography is not allowed inside the halls, pay attention to the no smoking signs, no pets allowed inside, and no shorts or short skirts allowed ⭐If you want to understand the history of the temple, you can find a guide. The ultraviolet rays are very strong, remember to wear sunscreen. Walk slowly, as you might experience some altitude sickness. 💋Outfit suggestions: You can choose red/green/blue/white for your clothing as the colors of the buildings inside the monastery are very bright and saturated, so we should also choose clothing with high saturation to stand out in the photos! ❤️❤️Alright! That's all for today's share! If you have any questions, you can ask me in the comments section!HarmoniousHolidays
A place never lacking in faith—Ta'er Monastery in QinghaiHow many secrets does a person need to hide to cleverly get through life; this plateau bathed in Buddha's light, every few steps is heaven; yet there are still so many people, burdened by their worries, unable to move forward. ——Cangyang Gyatso I can't think of any words to describe the feeling when you see with your own eyes the worshippers you could only learn about on TV or the internet before, I was shocked that there is such a different kind of people. 💰Ta'er Monastery ticket: ¥70/person 💎Please explain additional fees: ¥90/3 people 🉑PS: It is recommended to buy a guide‼️After checking the ticket, there will be many locals asking if you want a guide, they will keep asking you. The price is basically between ¥100-¥140. Share the group with others, and remember to bargain with them. If you just come to take pictures, then the ticket is given for nothing, with a guide you can accurately understand the culture of Ta'er Monastery and interesting points. 🚎Transportation: 1️⃣Bus 909 can reach Ta'er Monastery, the whole journey is more than an hour; 2️⃣Take a Didi, with a discount the whole journey is ¥80, it's affordable if shared by three people; we kept the driver's number, he won't go back if he doesn't pick up people. The same person took us around later. ❤🌟Highlights and check-in points: 1️⃣Babao Ruyi Tower: You can take very deep photos; 2️⃣Dajinwa Palace: It is not allowed to take pictures inside the palace, the base of the Buddha statue inside is inlaid with many priceless jewels, more expensive than gold😍🤩. You can take pictures of the golden tiles by turning right outside (picture 6), according to the guide, the golden tiles of the Dajinwa Palace weigh more than 700 jin, very majestic and spectacular. 3️⃣Xiaojinwa Temple: There are real animal specimens that are several hundred years old: wolves🐺, sheep🐑, cows🐮, etc; 4️⃣Dajing Hall: This is even more worth understanding, it is the place where the monks of the monastery concentrate on chanting sutras, and it also treasures the only remaining 18 pieces of embroidery, it is said that no one has this skill now. There are also butter flowers, all hand-pinched one by one. The rest are murals, known as the 'three arts of Ta'er Monastery'. They are all cultural heritages worth our careful understanding. The whole journey takes about 2 hours, and there are many features that cannot be reproduced, such as the ochre hemp walls of the buildings, the deeds of various Dalai Lamas, all worth our understanding.MARIANNA WILLIAMSON1

How stunning are the butter sculptures of Ta'er Monastery?Those exquisitely crafted butter sculptures, those lifelike birds and beasts, those detailed pavilions and towers, those vivid human sculptures... The annual butter sculpture exhibition at Ta'er Monastery is about to 'bloom' again. This sculpture art, known as one of the 'Three Wonders of Ta'er Monastery,' will once again await visitors from all over the world in the cold season. How are butter sculptures made? 'Making straw figures,' 'creating embryos,' 'applying plastic,' 'plating'—these are the basic steps in making butter sculptures. To prevent the butter material from melting and deforming due to the warmth of their hands during the process, the artisan monks work in workshops where the room temperature is controlled at zero degrees Celsius. Each of them has a basin of ice water beside them, and they occasionally dip their hands in the ice water to lower their hand temperature, showcasing their meticulous craftsmanship in the details. Smooth butter, blooming flowers, vibrant colors, devout artisans... The process of making butter sculptures is like a painting. Admiring the blooming butter sculptures, every year new designs are introduced. During the Spring Festival, the butter sculpture exhibition will arrive as scheduled. Also, from February 9th to February 25th, hundreds of events in Huangzhong await you~青海旅游当地向导祁军
Ta'er Monastery | A must-visit spot for a half-day tour in XiningA must-visit spot for a half-day tour in Xining. Xining is an underrated tourist city. If you only have half a day in Xining due to a transfer to Tibet or other reasons, I highly recommend visiting Ta'er Monastery! 📚Ta'er Monastery Trivia: In Tibetan, Ta'er Monastery is called 'Gomang Dratsang', which means 'Maitreya Temple with a hundred thousand lions roaring'. The stupa was built before the monastery, hence the name Ta'er Monastery. It is a national 5A-level tourist attraction, one of the six major monasteries of the Gelug school (Yellow Sect) of Tibetan Buddhism, and has also been shortlisted for the 'Magical Northwest Top 100 Scenic Spots'. The monastery currently has over 9,300 rooms, covering an area of more than 600 acres, with 25 halls. 🎫Ticket Price: 70 RMB 🕙Opening Hours: Summer 7:30-18:30; Winter 8:00-16:30 📍Navigation: Huangzhong County Tibetan Hospital (The ticket office is next to the hospital) 🚌Transportation: It takes two hours by bus No. 909 from Xining Station, with a fare of 4 RMB; a taxi from the city center costs about 60 RMB. It's cheaper to share a ride if you are traveling alone. ⌚Recommended Visiting Time: At least 2 hours 👏Highly Recommended: If possible, hire a guide (I listened in on a guide 😜). Ta'er Monastery is well worth understanding for its butter sculptures, murals, and embroidery, which are known as the 'Three Wonders of Ta'er Monastery Art'. In addition, the monastery also treasures many Buddhist scriptures and academic works. ❗❗Important Notes: 1. The altitude of Xining is over 2,000 meters, which is not high; walking slowly and breathing slightly heavily is normal. 2. Dress appropriately, which is applicable when visiting temples and Taoist temples. 3. There are colorful braids for sale at the entrance, usually three for 10 RMB. 4. It's not easy to get a taxi back to the city center after the visit; you can negotiate with the driver, and a fare not exceeding 80 RMB is reasonable, with 70 RMB being the best. You can also look for someone to share a ride back. 5. Maintain reverence! Photography is prohibited inside the monastery, including Buddha statues and murals. 🤗Impression: If you only have half a day in Xining, I really recommend coming here. The monastery has numerous buildings with unique styles. Anyway, of all the monasteries I saw on my way to Tibet, Ta'er Monastery left the deepest impression on me. There are many more Tibet travel tips on my homepage, wishing everyone a pleasant journey~Delicious Destinies
National Day self-driving on the road | Qinghai-Gansu big loop line full strategyHoliday! The super long holiday of National Day and Mid-Autumn Festival is coming, why not pack up and set off! Many friends have consulted me about the Qinghai-Gansu big loop line, and I have organized some content about the Qinghai-Gansu big loop line self-driving that you must know, hurry up and like and collect it! 🔍About the Qinghai-Gansu loop line: The so-called big loop line is a self-driving route from Xining, Qinghai, all the way west to Dunhuang, then west to return to Gansu, along the Hexi Corridor and finally back to Xining. There are many scenic spots along the way, and the mainstream 5-day and 8-day routes on the Internet cannot perfectly cover all the scenic spots along the way. So in the choice of route, it depends on whether you focus on the scenery or culture. 🗓️Main scenic spot strategy: It's impossible to be meticulous, but there can be a focus. Combined with my own experience and online information, I have summarized a version of the recommended key scenic spots (with recommended reasons) ✔️Xining Ta'er Monastery: Gelugpa monastery, the master Tsongkhapa walked out from here, the red wall is very photogenic. ✔️Qinghai Lake: It is said that Tsangyang Gyatso died here, one of the highest lakes in the world. ✔️Chaka Salt Lake: The mirror of the sky, is one of the "55 places a person must go in his lifetime" selected by National Geographic magazine. ✔️Dachaidan Emerald Lake: Compared to the fame of Chaka Salt Lake, this place is relatively niche, especially suitable for aerial photography!!! ✔️Wuwei Leitai: The location of ancient Liangzhou, Gansu Wuwei, the famous horse stepping on the flying swallow is from the Leitai Han tomb here. ✔️Qilian Mountain: The part where Qinghai and Gansu meet, the Qilian Mountains have many birds and animals and beautiful scenery. ✔️Zhangye Colorful Danxia: God spilled the palette here, a typical representative of the Danxia landform. ✔️Jiayuguan: "The first strong pass in the world", many frontier poems are related to him, remember to take a photo with the popular Guanchang. ✔️Mingsha Mountain: Mingsha Mountain Crescent Spring is a must-visit attraction in Dunhuang, climb the sand dunes to overlook the Crescent Spring, wait for the moon to come out, super artistic conception. ✔️Mogao Grottoes: The most famous grottoes, the cultural value is immeasurable. ⚠️Don't drive alone!!! Coming out of Xining, the Ta'er Temple to Dachaidan section will have mild altitude sickness, rest appropriately, eat something, there is no need to buy oxygen. 🚗About self-driving: The whole journey is either a highway or a national road. As long as you don't want to challenge those sections that have not been repaired, a general car is fine. There are many people traveling during the small long holiday, and there will be traffic jams, which cannot be avoided. 📸Photography suggestions: 1️⃣There are different features all the way, it is recommended to bring a few more lenses, 16-35, 70-200 are the minimum. 2️⃣Drones are banned in Jiayuguan, Mogao Grottoes, Ta'er Temple and other places, be sure to understand in advance. I am Gala, an amateur photographer who likes to go on a whim, but doesn't know how to press the shutter~ 🛻🛻🛻🛻🛻🛻🛻🛻🛻 🚙Transportation: Many routes are gathered from Xining, there are chartered tours, and there are travel groups. If you are self-driving, I suggest you can start from Lanzhou, stay for one more day, Lanzhou city is always easily overlooked. Like and follow to not get lost❤️cambereddeeanna

【Travel Guide Recommendation】Qinghai-Tibet Grand Loop - 7 Days and 6 Nights (Part One)Life really needs a trip to the great Northwest!!! The impact is so profound!!! We went there in early June, when there were seriously few tourists, and I really enjoy traveling when it's not crowded, I don't like the hustle and bustle of crowds🤭. Because the distance between each scenic spot on the Qinghai-Tibet loop is quite far (basically around 500km), we spent a lot of time on the road, but the scenery along the way is super beautiful. Listening to music through headphones, looking at the Gobi, basins, mountain ranges, plateaus, and snacking... is also a unique pleasure. 【Specific Travel Strategies】 Day 1 Our first stop was Xining, mainly for rest and preparation before traveling, and we bought some food. Then in the morning, we went to the Ta'er Monastery, and the first picture was taken there. It suddenly started pouring rain, and it was super cold🥶, so we only had a brief visit for about two hours before heading back. Then at noon, we found a noodle restaurant near the hotel. When you go to the Northwest, you must try the local noodles, I really love them, and the noodles are very chewy! Then in the evening, we went to the night market on Daxin Street in the city center. Qinghai old yogurt is my favorite🥰 because I really love set yogurt, and I also like sour foods, Qinghai old yogurt really satisfies my taste. Then you must try the local lamb, I usually only eat roasted lamb and avoid other lamb dishes because I think they have a gamey taste, but locals say their lamb doesn't have that gamey taste, saying it's related to the breed of the sheep. Then I tried it myself, and it really, really didn't have the gamey taste, it was super delicious!!! Day2 The Qinghai-Tibet Grand Loop journey officially begins!!! Our first stop was Qinghai Lake, pictures 2 and 3 were taken there, the water is really super blue, and you can see the distant snow-capped mountains and the flight of seagulls. Then the second stop was Chaka Salt Lake (Mirror of the Sky), its scenery is particularly affected by the season and weather. The time we went was not its most beautiful period, because in June the lake surface had not melted much, so it couldn't form reflections. If you want to take photos in the lake, you need to rent special shoes, everyone be careful and don't step into holes❗️ We chose to take a small train there and walked back (about 40 minutes). Day3 We passed the U-shaped highway on the way, everyone must be careful when taking photos, as there are many large trucks coming and going. It's really super dangerous‼️ We went to Dachaidan Emerald Lake, (personal preference) Emerald Lake is more beautiful than Chaka Salt Lake!!! It was my first time seeing a green lake🤗, we chose to take a small train. We also tried aerial drone photography, sitting in a boat in the middle of the lake, someone will guide your poses, and I am very satisfied with the photos and videos (I didn't post the photos and videos hehe) Then we hurried to the next location (coming to my most favorite, most favorite, most favorite spot on the Qinghai-Tibet Grand Loop!!!) I want to dedicate a separate post to record it😁Grace.Foster^45

Ta'er Temple is a national AAAAA-level tourist attraction, located in Xining City, founded in Minghongwu 12 years (1379). The butter flowers, murals and pile embroidery are known as the "Tar Temple Art Three Excellences". The experience is good and it feels very good.
The famous Tibetan temple near Xining, 5A-level scenic spot, the entrance of the scenic spot is a bit rudimentary, but the scenic spot is very large, there are many wild guides at the door to ask if you need a tour guide, if you are interested, you can ask for one, there are many independent monasteries in the scenic spot. Composed, Each has a different background history, which is still very shocking
The price is very high. Just got off the lighter and couldn't hit it. The boss gave a lighter ear and the bath towels and face towels in the house were disposable. Very clean and large. Going to Qinghai Lake to play Laji Mountain, the boss recommended the route. The location of the hotel is also very good to find, the route is also very good parking. I highly recommend everyone to Xining to play at this hotel.

Enter the room, pay attention to not take pictures and prepare some cash
The bus station is too far from the scenic spot, and the place to buy tickets is too far from the ticket office, which is too inconvenient!
