Worth visiting!

closest thing to visiting tibet (in china)

Xiahe is a majority-Tibetan town in western Gansu and home to Labrang (or Labuleng) Monastery, the biggest lamasery outside of Tibet. a constant stream of brightly-dressed pilgrims come from all over western China to turn prayer wheels for hours. awesome, especially if you can’t make it to Tibet.
