Introduction

A'Ruo Temple is the world's largest tent temple. Compared with Tashilhunpo Monastery, A'Ruo Temple is more niche and tranquil. There are almost no commercial traces here, and the people are more simple and devout. Its architectural style is very unique, combining the style of Tibetan Buddhist temples with Chinese-style palaces, which is very eye-catching. There is also a Chinese version of the "Inari Shrine" here. The picturesque corridor at the temple entrance is perfect for taking photos and always looks amazing!
