A trip to Seda is not complete without a visit to Dongga Temple.

My friends and I embarked on a trip to western Sichuan, with our first stop being Seda. My friends told me that a trip to Seda is not complete without a visit to Dongga Temple.

Dongga Temple in Seda County is located on the Hailuo Mountain in the Jinma Grassland of Yalong Township, Ganzi Prefecture. Built in 1686, it is one of the three most famous temples in Seda and the largest Gelug temple in Yadong.

Dongga Temple is very close to Seda County, about a 10-minute drive. Admission is free and no reservation is required. You can drive directly to the entrance of the temple without having to climb the mountain.

The white pagoda is very photogenic. Remember to wear brightly colored clothes.

Dongga Temple is slow and quiet. Visitors can slow down and listen to the devout Sanskrit, making it a good place to purify the mind.

Photography is allowed inside and outside the Dongga Temple. You need to take off your shoes to enter the temple, and you also need to take off your sunglasses and hat, which is a respect for the temple culture.

The temple is really golden and magnificent. The chandeliers are really exquisite and beautiful.

If you come to Seda, you must come here to appreciate the charm of traditional Tibetan architecture.
