Gannan Secret Realm: Labrang Monastery + Langmu Temple—A Spiritual Highland More Tibetan Than Tibet

Gannan—Gansu's Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture. Labrang Monastery has the world's longest prayer wheel corridor, Langmu Temple straddles Gansu and Sichuan provinces and is called Eastern Switzerland. At 3000m altitude, it's far friendlier than Tibet's 4000m+, but the Tibetan cultural density is just as rich.
