At an altitude of 4,000 meters, witness the burning of faith!

Oxygen-starved lungs, a boiling heart. At 4,000 meters above sea level, under the clear autumn sky, the entire mountain’s red wooden houses seem to be collectively ablaze. This is not fire; it is the faith ignited by the lives of thousands of practitioners. In the afternoon, the wind is not cold, but the sunlight is scorching. Watching the nuns calmly walk past me, I suddenly understood—the true heat is not outside the body, but within the heart. There is no comfortable travel here, only raw shock. The body adapts to the thin air, but the soul is filled with overwhelming devotion. 🌟If you want to come: 1️⃣ Be prepared to endure hardship; this is not a journey of comfort. 2️⃣ Observe quietly, do not disturb, and do not point your camera directly at people. 3️⃣ It won’t make you “comfortable,” but it may leave you silently reflecting for a long time. This is probably another meaning of travel: not all scenery is meant to please you; some places exist just to show you another possibility of life. 📍Yaqing Monastery, Baiyu County, Ganzi ⚠️Altitude 4,000 meters, please prepare oxygen and maintain quiet and respect.
