introduce

Arou Temple, also known as "Alik Temple", is located 21 kilometers southeast of Babao Town, Qilian County. Tourists often pass by here when visiting Qilian to Menyuan and other places, and visit the temple. The temple was built in the Shunzhi period of the Qing Dynasty. The temple was built on a small scale at the beginning. In the 1940s, it developed and expanded with the support of Arou Qianhu Nanka Caiang and Baihu Aduo, and became a large-scale Gelugpa monastery in Qilian County.

The Arou Temple is located on a hilly grassland, surrounded by rolling green grasslands, which is very beautiful. The monastery has traditional Tibetan courtyard buildings, main halls, golden pagodas, and corridors, etc. It is very beautiful to take pictures outside the building. Visitors here can walk around the temple and visit and worship one by one. In addition, it has not yet been developed into a scenic spot, so the atmosphere is relatively quiet, giving people a sacred and natural feeling.

The Arou Temple is not a very popular place...but it is really worth coming. Looking at the golden dome in the sun from a distance, it is dazzling...entering it, it is simple, primitive, and wonderful...There are almost no tourists. Visiting it, Purify the soul... If you have the opportunity, it is worth a visit!

Located 21 kilometers southeast of Zhibabao, Qilian County, this is a scenic spot that I did not expect during the itinerary. No tickets are required, and there is no explanation. The tour takes about 40 minutes in total. The atmosphere is better than the crowded Kumbum Monastery. Tranquility is the biggest feature of this temple. There are no many pilgrims, no commercial atmosphere, everything is so easy-going and natural. The temple is surrounded by Qilian Mountains, and the green grass is under the blue sky. It is a grassland style, and there are barren weeds growing everywhere. , deep and shallow.

The Arou Temple is a temple of the Arou (Alik) tribe. According to the "Brief Records of Arou Great Temple" written by the living Buddha Gyatso of Ali of the temple, the Arou tribe originally lived in the area from the Qushi'an River Basin to Maqing Snow Mountain in Xinghai County, Hainan Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture. The nine tribes bred by Wangchuk's nine sons, as well as the tribes of Arou Daimang and Arou Mangramuk, totaled 11 small tribes, forming the Arou tribe. The Arou Temple was originally a quiet house, and 30 years later, it was dedicated to Alidarhan Qujie. Lidarhan is also known as "Ali Hutuktu" after the knot. His second Luosandan Bareji was born in the Arou tribe. He studied Tibetan scriptures and expanded the Arou Temple after returning; Badaji established the Xianzong Academy, perfected various Dharma assembly systems, increased the number of monks to 400, and developed into a regular temple.

On the way to Zhuoer Mountain, I passed the Arou Temple. Its appearance is very unobtrusive. If the driver did not stop on purpose, he would have almost missed it. I went in early August, the temple was very quiet, there was no charge, and there were not many tourists, which formed a very sharp contrast with the huge and crowded Kumbum Monastery. On the four walls and under the beams of the main hall, there are also very exquisite pile embroidery hanging, and the colorful and eye-catching Thangkas are painted, which can be appreciated slowly and luxuriously. From time to time, I met local people who came to the temple to worship Buddha and make a wish, as well as young lamas who chanted scriptures around the main hall, and big lamas who were busy repairing the butter table in the temple. It's a pity that the language is not very good, otherwise it would be so leisurely that I could sit down and chat for a while. A Rou Da Temple is a surprise during the journey, slow, silent, neither happy nor sad, it is his original appearance.

The Arou Temple is the largest temple in Qilian, and also the largest Gelugpa temple of the Arou tribe. The monastery is located on the east side of Arou Township Government, 21 kilometers east of Qilian County, at an altitude of about 2,900 meters, facing south from the north. Also known as Alec Temple. It is the largest and most influential Gelug Sect monastery of Tibetan Buddhism in the Qilian area. The history of the construction of the Arou Temple is very tortuous, it is worth seeing, it is beautiful.
