Suo County: Temple and valley

Suo County is a stop in the upper reaches of the Nu River that is worth making a special stop. One day, between Zandan Monastery and the Nu River, encounter the unique atmosphere of Suo County.

Before venturing deep into Suo County, the presence of Zanden Monastery had already arrived. From afar, seeing that scene, even the fatigue from traveling quietly soothed it, and he just wanted to stand a little longer.

The Nu River is the most captivating part of Suo County. Following its flow slowly, every corner hides a different expression, stretching time and space here.

Avoiding the crowds and slipping into Yala, Soxin reveals its true self. Old people, alleys, stoves, and laughter all settle in your memories before the sights do.

After nightfall, the snowy mountains of Suo County are lit up, and the warm yellow glow turns the grandeur of the day into gentleness. Sitting down and doing nothing is also a form of arrival.

When leaving Suo County, I felt a bit reluctant, but the image of Zandan Temple replayed in my mind. But it was precisely this reluctance that proved the trip was worthwhile—it quietly left a part of itself within you.
