📍Seda Larung Gar Buddhist Academy In the Ganzi Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture in western Sichuan, there is a mysterious and awe-inspiring land called Seda. It is a place full of faith and strength, like a pure land in the world, attracting countless people to explore the home of their hearts🧘‍. —————————————— Seda photo spots📷📷📷 1️⃣ Mandala: Located on the highest peak of the Seda Larung Gar Buddhist Academy, it has three floors and you can see monks turning the prayer wheels. 2️⃣ Viewing platform: You can reach it quickly along the Mandala and overlook the entire Seda Larung Gar Buddhist Academy. 3️⃣ Long staircase: Walk along the stairs devoutly, and the red houses are right in front of you. 4️⃣ Dongga Temple: Located 6 km outside Seda County, there is no need to go too early as it opens at 9 am. ————————————————— Sky burial🙏 Sky burial usually starts around 1 pm. Don't go too early, 1 pm is more appropriate. You can only see vultures, a group of vultures, and nothing else. You can also go from inside the Buddhist Academy and navigate to Seda Sky Burial Platform. Respect local customs and do not take photos. The scene is very shocking and has a smell, so please bring a mask. ——————————————————— Tips: 1⃣️ Be sure to bring your ID card🆔 before departure. Whether you go to Seda or other scenic spots, you need an ID card to enter the park. 2⃣️ Local tickets can only be reserved for the next day, so you can't see the night view that night. 3️⃣ After entering the Buddhist Academy, follow the advice of the locals and take the bus🚌 for 3 yuan/person. Go directly to the top and do not get off halfway. 4️⃣ Along the way, you will see nuns and lamas worshiping all the way. Do not disturb them, and do not take photos. 5️⃣ The viewing platform is on the left side of the Mandala. Walk along the road behind the mountain for 10 minutes to reach it, and you can see the grassland from a distance. 6️⃣ Seda County and Luoruo Town have various hotels and homestays. The Larong Hotel in the Buddhist Academy can only be booked on-site. ——————————————————— Transportation🚗 1️⃣ Official bus At the Jinma Distribution Center in Seda County, buy a 48 yuan bus ticket, and there are usually tickets available for the same day. You can choose the departure place, Seda County, or Luoruo Town where the Buddhist Academy is located. The two places are more than 20 km apart, so don't buy the wrong one. The return is also to the departure point. 2️⃣ Tour group More than 100 yuan for three attractions (including two free attractions). 3️⃣ Wild motorcycle Not recommended, not safe. The whole journey can only be described as beautiful and spectacular. I really felt what it means to have your body in hell and your eyes in heaven😄
