Feilai Temple

Feilai Temple (Guibading in Tibetan) is located around 10 kilometers (6.2 miles) away from Deqen Town. There is a legend that the monastery was built by a Sakyamuni Buddha who flew here from Tibet. It is a place for Tibetans to pay homage to the sacred mountains. The monastery also serves as a center for many of the activities and festivals held by local Buddhists.

Feilai Temple is one of only two places in Deqen County where tourists can view the sacred mountains and because of the convenient accommodations and pleasant environment is certainly the most popular. Travelers who wake up early will be greeted with the dazzling scenery of sunrise over the Snow Mountains. It is a sight well-worth getting up for. The local hotels also serve a local-style Tibetan breakfast to give you a taste of the local culture.
