Dadong Village first shown on Tour Travel Tibet

Dadong Village, known as the most beautiful Tibetan village in China, is part of the government’s comprehensive poverty alleviation project. It aims to relocate low-income villagers from the “poor landscape pattern” into a new, well-planned and organized village.

To boost income, unite scattered villagers to establish uniform factories and increase traditional handicraft production, while maintaining income from fields and pastures.

Previously, villages lacked resources to improve homes and attract tourists. Now, with government funds, new villages are built with folk design and better facilities. This makes them popular tourist spots, increasing villagers’ income.

This village in Liuwu New District, Lhasa City, Tibet, is 18 kilometers from Lhasa. It has easy transportation, stunning scenery, and many tourism attractions. Visitors can explore the ruins of the manor where the sixth Dalai Lama, Tsangyang Gyatso, lived and visit famous Tibetan medicine temples like Nimatang Temple and White Temple. The Dadong mountains and rivers offer abundant resources, including hidden horse chicken.

The ancient Dadong Village has developed as a “suburban weekend leisure tourism” destination, benefiting from its distinct natural resources and strategic location, resulting in a remarkable transformation.

The local building has a Tibetan style with red eaves, Tibetan patterns, and curtains. It creates a stunning contrast against the sky and clouds, resembling a beautiful landscape painting. It offers a peaceful, comfortable lifestyle away from the city.

In Tibet, experience breathtaking scenery, local customs, butter tea, cow dung fuel, and the villagers’ love for nature’s beauty.

This place invokes Haizi’s timeless poem, where I possess a seaside house, basking in the warm spring and blooming flowers. Starting tomorrow, I shall embrace happiness, tending to horses, chopping wood, and exploring the globe.

Nyima Tang Temple 

Nimatang Temple in Dadong Village is an ancient temple with deep roots in Tibetan medicine. It showcases a picturesque landscape and preserves the unwavering faith of the Tibetan people. Among the notable ancient temples in this area, Nimatang Temple and White Temple stand out as they have stood for almost a millennium.

Nimatang Temple, a Tibetan Buddhist temple, is the birthplace of Tibetan medicine. It is believed to hold three treasures: Tibetan horse chicken, pharmacist Buddha, and Tibetan medicine classics.

Tibetan horse chicken is a renowned Tibetan medicinal herb with nourishing properties and serves as a medicinal source. Nimatang Temple houses a wealth of Tibetan medical classics dedicated to the revered Medicine Buddha.

Upon entering the temple, the highlight is the magnificent Medicine Buddha temple, greatly admired by the locals. After exploring the hall, one can ascend the mountain using the stone steps located on the left side of the entrance. Alongside these steps, there is a series of prayer and wish meridians. Turning around, one can experience a sense of rejuvenation and well-being.

It is said that Nimatang Temple was built around the 12th century A.D. and was presided over by the famous translator at that time, Ra Lotsawa Dorje Chodak,  It is said that when Ra Lotsawa first arrived here, he was deeply attracted by the pleasant scenery here, so he vowed to build a magnificent temple here like the sun.

After completing the Nimatang Temple, a famous doctor heard of Ra Lotsawa’s incredible power. Curious, he visited and saw Ra Lotsawa move the sun from the sky to the temple and back. Amazed, the doctor stayed to make Tibetan medicine and help the community. Tibetan medicine doctors came to promote its development.

The renowned White Temple, constructed in the 12th century by Genna Doji, a skilled master of the Kadang School, showcases exquisite scenery and vibrant life. This temple is devoted to an assortment of valuable Buddha statues and a collection of meticulously handcrafted Kagyur, made of gold.

On the hillside of Qiangba Udui, across from the White Temple, there is a naturally formed statue of Maitreya Buddha. Additionally, there is a white snail pattern naturally formed on the stone beneath the throne. In Tibet, the white conch holds great significance in Tibetan Buddhism, especially the right-handed white conch. It is highly revered and seen as a symbol of the three thousand worlds, as well as the reverberation of Dharma.

This temple reflected in the green mountains has very beautiful scenery, white walls, red eaves, and green towering ancient trees, all bathed in the blue sky and white clouds. Around the temple, there are colorful mountains, just like peacocks. Every day, the villagers around come to worship devoutly, which is very lively.

Dadong Village is known as the most beautiful Tibetan village in China. It has a comfortable environment. The appearance of the hotel is full of Tibetan style, while the furniture and bathroom are modern routes, which is very suitable for tourists who want to experience the customs and experience convenience.

If it is in the spring season, it will be even more pleasant. Have you ever seen rape flowers growing in the field? Do you like the faint fragrance of rape flowers that permeates the sky? Maybe it didn’t attract your attention, because it’s just a cluster of ordinary flowers. But when the rape flowers are clustered together, how spectacular it is!

And I want to say that the mushroom coolness in Lhasa is also a beautiful scenery. The beautiful scenery and a bright smile melt my heart!
