A Town Spanning Two Provinces: The Oriental Little Switzerland Langmusi

Listen up! Don’t wander aimlessly in Langmusi! This guide clearly explains the introduction, location, and pitfalls to avoid—newbies can just copy the homework📝

🌄Langmusi is a fairy-tale town at the border of Gansu and Sichuan, surrounded by grasslands, red cliffs, and streams, known as the "Oriental Little Switzerland." The town hides two century-old ancient temples:
• Saichi Temple in Gansu (30 RMB): Golden roof perfect for photos, with a back mountain offering views of the town’s morning mist and cooking smoke
• Gerdie Temple in Sichuan (30 RMB): Houses the best-preserved mummified relics of the Fifth Living Buddha in the Tibetan area, and you can hike the Namo Grand Canyon to find the Fairy Cave
The Bailong River runs through the town, and you can cross provinces in a 10-minute walk—amazing!

⚠️ Avoid the pitfalls that 90% of people fall into and save a lot of money!
🏡 Accommodation Tips
• Don’t stay on the main street! Late-night chanting and dog barking can drive you crazy. Choose Tibetan-style guesthouses on the town’s edge for more peace.
• More guesthouse options on the Gansu side; recommend Tibetan-style guesthouses with snow mountain views for a great stay.
• Book one month in advance during peak season (July-August), ask the owner for real-time videos to confirm the view, don’t trust online photos. October is off-season—avoid crowds and enjoy the golden autumn.

🎫 Tickets & Activities Tips
• Tickets for the two temples are sold separately, 30 RMB each. Half price with student ID, free for medical workers with ID.
• The Namo Grand Canyon hike is 1.5 km to the highlight section, with streams and grasslands along the way.
• The sky burial platform can only be viewed from a distance; absolutely no photos or loud noises—respect local customs.

🐎 Spending Tips
• Negotiate price and route before horseback riding! Deep in the grasslands, horseback riding is 80 RMB/hour, half the price of the scenic area.
• Don’t buy prayer flags in the scenic area; bargain with local women at the mountain pass behind the town—50 RMB can get you a big bunch.
• Some pastoral areas don’t accept mobile payments, so bring some cash for convenience.

📸 Must-Photograph Spots
1. Saichi Temple in Gansu: Capture the golden roof in the morning mist, sunlight shining on the red walls is stunning.
2. Red Cliffs: Navigate to "Langmusi International Hotel" back mountain, warm light at sunset bathes the town.
3. Namo Grand Canyon: Take photos of prayer flags reflected by the stream, perfect for wallpaper-level shots.
From May to September, the grasslands bloom with flowers; from October to March, the snow scenes are serene like a fairyland. Each season has its own beauty~ Remember to bring a light down jacket and sunscreen before you go—the highland temperature difference is big and UV rays are strong!
