Beautiful temple especially the interior of it. It is look majestic overall. The staff brought us around and did a fantastic job explaining the history and culture. The 'shi fu' blessed our group with holy water. He asked many questions with each of our members. Shi Fu requested for donations of minimum RMB10000+. He was so convincing that my husband and I agreed. The after thought feeling was bad and we felt a sense of being conned. He sized each of us with questions and because no temple will insist that you donate a minimum amount of...

The area overall is expansive and the interior is a reminiscent of Andy Warhol style of repeated artwork, only with Buddha portraits instead.
It has signs of weathered ageing on the white exterior.

當晨霧還纏繞著大佛寺的金頂,轉經筒的銅鈴聲已喚醒了獨克宗古城。沿著青石板路向東,十三座白塔如珍珠散落在奶子河畔,而那座被藏人稱為「塔中塔」的香格里拉和諧塔,正以雙重圓頂刺破薄霧,將倒影投在聖潔的納帕海上。
這座藏區最高佛塔藏著驚人密碼——外塔包裹著內塔,恰似蓮花生大士手印疊合。攀爬108級檀木階時,指尖撫過外塔牆面的八寶吉祥浮雕,松煙混著酥油的味道從內塔飄出。掀開五彩經幡垂簾,千年噶丹松贊林寺的縮影竟藏在內塔穹頂:七百尊度母像以青金石粉繪製,唐卡金線在幽暗中浮動如星河,中心五層檀香木佛龕供奉著釋迦牟尼佛舍利,轉經道上的銅鏡將陽光折射成七彩光輪。
最妙是黃昏登頂。外塔觀景台的銅製轉經筒被夕陽燒成熔金,向西望,石卡雪山與天寶雪山的峰尖恰好嵌入內塔穹頂的圓形窗框,彷彿白塔將神山收進法器。風起時,塔角108個銅鈴與遠處松贊林寺的法號共鳴,裹著藏袍的老者會告訴你:內塔藏著茶馬古道的駝鈴聲,外塔鎖著新城的炊煙,這雙重塔影疊出的,才是香格里拉真正的模樣。
離去前別忘繞塔三周,指尖觸碰外塔牆面刻的六字真言,那些凹凸紋路裡,藏著雪域子民對「和諧」最溫柔的詮釋——包容對立,擁抱新生,如同這座塔中塔,既容得下千年誦經聲,也盛得住高樓玻璃幕牆的反光。
