Travel Tips
travelling guideline:
1. It is very quiet here. In front of the Xidelin ruins, the sun is shining brightly, and prayer flags are fluttering in the sun. Sitting on the bench in front of the ruins and basking in the sun, my heart feels calm.
2. The courtyard here is full of life. Tibetans chat, do housework, boil water, sing, and children play and have fun here. It is a good place to get to know the life of Tibetans.
