Langmusi, a Tibetan town located at the border between Sichuan and Gansu Provinces in northwest China. Around Langmusi, large area of grasslands are scattered of northwest Sichuan and south Gansu. Small as it is, yet, Langmusi town enjoy a worldwide reputation with its two major cultural features,one is its authentic Tibetan Buddhism, and the other one more importantly, the nomadic lifestyle of local Tibetan people.
A sleepy village in a remote breathtaking location predominantly inhabited by a colorful mix of Hui Muslims and Amdo Tibetans. It is said that the provincial borderline runs through the middle of town with Sertri Gompa in Gansu and Kirti Gompa located in Sichuan. The power struggles between the two Gompa may have been the reason for the border location. Both temples have distinct styles making both well worth the visit alone. The surrounding mountains give off a very much alpine flair reminiscent of rural Austria or Bavaria and perfect for hiking and horsetrekking.
