In Seda, you encounter the most beautiful scenery

📆Best Travel Time: May to October is the best season, with snowscapes after November, but winter travel is inconvenient due to road conditions. During the monastery's festivals in January, April, June, and September, it gets very crowded, so be sure to book your tickets and hotels in advance. 📍Address: Luoruo Township, Seda County, Garze Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan Province🏔️Altitude: Around 3977 meters ✅Current reservation methods are online and offline 1⃣️Online - Larung Gar Entrance Reservation Reservations available for 10:00 and 15:30 slots (tickets go on sale at 18:00) 🎫440 tickets available daily💰30 RMB per person 2⃣️Offline - Seda County Tourism and Culture Bureau ⏰Reservations for the same day's 13:00 and 18:00 tickets start at 8:30 ⏰14:00-18:00 reservations for the next day's 7:30, 13:00, and 18:00 tickets 🎫560 tickets available daily💰48 RMB per person 🎒Items to bring: ID card, sunscreen, sunglasses, power bank, oxygen bottle, hat, gloves, scarf, thermos, hand warmers ⚠️Precautions 🔸Seda is at a high altitude, so be sure to prepare altitude sickness medication or painkillers (such as Acetaminophen or Gaoyuan An, etc.) 🔸The temperature in Seda changes rapidly, so if you're staying for several days, prepare both thick and thin clothing 🔸Women should not enter temples in revealing clothing, and men should not wear shorts or short sleeves. You can rent local Tibetan attire (it's cheap, remember to bargain), which can also be used for taking photos later 🔸Do not step on the thresholds of temples casually, and do not point at monks with your finger (if you need to point at someone, do so with your palm facing up to show respect) 🔸Do not take photos of local monks without permission ✅Wuming Buddhist Academy The largest Buddhist academy in the world, be sure to experience the local Buddhist teachings. Classes start at 19:30, with separate seating for men and women. As long as you follow the order and do not make noise, the monks will not stop you from listening in. ✅Red House Viewing Platform To see the most stunning view of Seda's red houses, follow the road with white railings next to the mandala (opposite direction of Larung Hotel) all the way up to the viewing platform, where you can overlook the entire breathtaking landscape of red houses. ✅Mandala Magnificent and awe-inspiring. There are three levels, and every day countless monks and devotees circle around, turning prayer wheels and paying homage. You can join the locals in circling and praying for blessings. ✅Sky Burial Platform The scene is so shocking that it's hard to snap back to reality for a long time. With a whistle, vultures cover the sky. In this place, it seems as if the distance between life and death is broken, prompting a rethinking of the meaning of life. (The scene is shocking, be mentally prepared before you go, and wear a mask on site) 🏨Accommodation: Larung Hotel is the only hotel in Seda Buddhist Academy, which cannot be booked in advance and only upon arrival. When we stayed, it was about 200 RMB per room, with basic facilities; there are also cheaper beds, but you have to use a communal bathroom. The hotel is on a hill, and you have to carry your luggage up a long flight of stairs, so it's not recommended if you're not physically fit. Other than that, you can only stay in Seda County. 🩹Tips: 🚨Oxygen: Bagged oxygen can be rented from the hospital, with a deposit of 30 RMB for the oxygen bag, and the oxygen costs a few yuan. Keep the deposit slip safe, and return the oxygen bag before leaving the academy. 🚨Diet: To prevent altitude sickness, eat more vegetables and fruits, drink more water; avoid smoking, drinking alcohol, and overeating 🚨Clothing: The temperature in high-altitude areas is low, so no matter the season, be sure to bring a down jacket or a windbreaker 🚨Toilet Guide: Public toilets are located in the residential areas of lamas and nuns, not easy to find, so ask around. Be sure to bring a flashlight at night, as sometimes there are no lights in the toilets or on the road. 💝The above is a guide to Seda, hoping it will be helpful to you. During your trip, respect the local culture and customs, maintain a good attitude, and enjoy the fun of traveling.
