    2-Day Lanzhou Private Trip to Bingling Temple and Labrang Monastery

    2 days
    All Months

    This 2-day private Lanzhou tour takes you to Liujia Gorge, UNESCO-listed Bingling Temple (with a scenic boat cruise) and Labrang Monastery, including an English guide, all fees, local lunch, private transfers and a 4-star Xiahe overnight stay.

    Itinerary Quick Look

    Day 1: Lanzhou → Liujiaxia → Bingling Temple Grottoes → Xiahe

    2 Key Stops

    1. Liujiaxia
    Your full-day journey begins with a convenient hotel pickup in Lanzhou, where you’ll meet your guide and board a comfortable air-conditioned private vehicle. The scenic 1.5-hour drive takes you to Liujiaxia, home to China’s iconic large-scale hydropower project — a landmark of 20th-century engineering prowess.

    2. Bingling Temple Grottoes
    Translating to “Land of One Hundred Thousand Buddhas” in Tibetan , Bingling Temple Grottoes is a UNESCO World Heritage Site (inscribed in 2014) and a highlight of the Silk Road. Perched on a 2-kilometer north-south cliff along the Yellow River, the grottoes consist of upper and lower temples, offering a serene and secluded setting.
    With a history dating back to the Western Jin Dynasty (265-316), the site boasts 34 grottoes, 149 shrines, 694 stone statues, and 82 clay sculptures. Its most notable treasure is the ink inscription in Grotto No.169 — the earliest dated record found in any Chinese grotto to date . Your guide will lead you through the site, sharing insights into its historical significance and artistic value.
    Afterward, savor an included local lunch before heading directly to Xiahe, the gateway to Labrang Monastery.

    Day 2: Labrang Monastery → Lanzhou

    1 Core Stop

    1. Labrang Monastery (Labuleng Si)
    Start your day with breakfast at the hotel, then meet your guide to explore Labrang Monastery — a sacred hub for Tibetan Buddhism and one of the religion’s most important learning centers. Founded in 1709 by Ngawang Tsondru, the monastery is home to over 4,000 monks and houses a priceless collection of 65,000 Buddhist scriptures across 18,200 volumes, covering philosophy, medicine, history, and craftsmanship.
    Over 2 hours, wander through the monastery’s grand halls and courtyards, admiring the unique blend of Han and Tibetan architectural styles. Your guide will deepen your understanding of Tibetan Buddhist traditions, beliefs, and the spiritual life of the monastery’s community.
    Indulge in a delicious Tibetan lunch at a local restaurant afterward. The tour concludes with a 3.5-hour private transfer back to your Lanzhou hotel. Alternatively, you can choose to end your journey in Xiahe and proceed to your next destination independently.
