Labrang monastery 拉卜楞寺 from above









Just found this from google earth today, the search engine doesn't regonise any place name in China except beijing, so, not even Lanzhou.
Playing detective, it took us awhile to find Lanzhou first through Qinghai Lake (the big lake appear on the China map), then we traced the river and another "water hole" the Liu Jia Xia (lake) all the way down south.
At the end we arrived this valley and from a first glance, I knew that's it. It's the Labrang I have come to known for the last 3 years.
Bravo!! To my collegue W, who have helped me on this operation!
