Trip to Gansu Part 4- Langmu Monastery 浪木寺

Langmu Monastery is not just a temple, but an entire village area. It's politically a Tibetan Autonomous Region, where the Tibetan have semi-autonomous political rule over the area. It is located on the borders of Sichuan, Gansu and Qinghai provinces, the autonomous region actually straddles these 3 separate provincial governments. It was absolutely beautiful and we got to see monks doing many of their daily rituals, including prayer, chanting, exercises and making mandalas.
