In the Tibetan language, the word "Zhagana" means "stone box." Also known as the "Yama Temple," it is a complete city built of natural stone. The topography of the site is like a giant palace. It is said to resemble an ancient city that has been constructed entirely of rock and stone. This place can be called a natural wonder. For several centuries, this natural stone city was an important station on the edge of the ancient trade routes. Inside the stone city, there are four villages and one temple. Dongwa Village and Sangla Temple are located in the center of the stone city. Located in Gannan District's Xiahe County, Labrang Monastery is one of the six great monasteries of the Gelug (Yellow) Sect of Tibetan Buddhism. The monastery is large in scale and high in status. A representative example of the monasteries and temples throughout Gannan, it is a must-see for visitors to the area. It is a majestic temple complex. It offers spectacular sights while walking through and also when taking in a panoramic bird's-eye view from its highest point. The monastery is full of giant Buddha statues and various exquisite sculptures, murals and countless musical instruments. Furthermore, the long corridor of the Labrang Monastery is a sight rarely seen anywhere else in the world. This is a place where pilgrims come to accumulate merit and to pray for friends and relatives. Sangke Grassland is in the west of Xiahe County, south of Gansu Province. There are hills and countryside with grassland. Every summer, lush green grass and wild flowers are everywhere. When you come to the Sangke Grassland, you can rent horses and ride in the local area and experience Tibetan traditional folk customs, such as Zanba, butter tea and Guozhuang dance. In addition, every summer there are festivals, such as the Xianglang Festival, on the grassland. In the evening, herdsmen often sing together and perform the Guozhuang dance. The families you stay with often hold such activities as well. If you are lucky enough, join them to experience the joyous grassland style! The sacred lake Darzong has a sacred place in the beliefs of monks and laymen in Gannan. The scenery here is even more beautiful. The blue sky, white clouds, green grass, and cute elves, accompanied by the clear lake, constitute a picture Scroll of harmony between man and nature.
