Qinghai Xining | The Ta'er Monastery, lacking in oxygen but not in faith

| The Ta'er Monastery, lacking in oxygen but not in faith. The tower came first, then the temple, hence the name 'Ta'er Monastery'. The Ta'er Monastery is one of the six major monasteries of the Gelug sect of Tibetan Buddhism in China, and is the center of Tibetan Buddhism activities in the northwest region of China. It is a forty-minute drive from Xining. If you are visiting Qinghai, you can visit the Ta'er Monastery if you have time to feel the atmosphere of Buddhism! The three unique arts of the Ta'er Monastery: murals, thangkas, and butter sculptures. You must come and see it with your own eyes, and the blooming scene of the Bodhi tree (early July) About tickets: Peak season (April 1st - October 31st) adult full ticket 70r; off-season 40r/person Precautions: 1. If you drive by yourself, please navigate to: Tibetan Hospital!! The parking lot and ticket office are next to it, otherwise you will navigate to a place where you have to take your own sightseeing car, which is completely unnecessary!! 2. Remember to exchange paper tickets for electronic tickets!! 3. There are braided colored braids at the door, and there are Tibetan costumes for rent for taking pictures. There are many enthusiastic sales that will not let you go. You can bargain, and you can be happy. 4. If you want to understand more deeply, it is recommended to ask for an explanation or understand the cultural history of the Ta'er Monastery in advance, and you will feel more when visiting! 5. No photography is allowed in the hall, and Buddha statues and murals cannot be taken. Pay attention to the prompts! Respect customs, dress appropriately, girls pay attention not to wear short skirts! The altitude of the Ta'er Monastery is 2000+, and there is generally no problem with altitude sickness if you walk slowly!
