Departing from Lanzhou
Zhagana
- What kind of Gannan have you seen?
- This is a pure land on earth sealed by time, far away from the mundane world, simple yet stunning.
- Listen, the sound of chanting. The sun shines through the wooden door on the monks' robes, and the red walls block the noise of the outside world. This is a place where faith is integrated into life.
- Look, the nine-colored Gannan and the colorful Shambhala. The prayer flags are flying in the sun against the strong wind. This is a curve of faith outlined by colors.
- Smell, the fragrance of mulberry smoke from burning pine and cypress, the refreshing fragrance of green grass mixed with the smell of butter permeate the entire grassland. This is a paradise on earth where hope and freedom coexist.
- Touch, turn the prayer wheel to receive a baptism of the soul. The carefully painted thangka is their sustenance for life. This is the Tibetan Buddhist kingdom that needs to be calmed down and felt.
- Taste, the unique Tibetan food will be a different experience for every guest who comes here. This is the fireworks on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.
