「Lovely new modern homestay less than 2km down the Main Street. Comfortable beds and linen first class. Less than ten minutes walk from bus station or 25 minutes walk to Labrang Monastery. Hailed taxis shared with others to monastery costs Y2 per person. The lovely young couple were very helpful, even taxiing at reasonable price to the grasslands and picked us up when we sent WeChat message. We were here in 2000. It’s changed heaps since then to a bigger town and more infrastructure. The people are friendly, with the younger generation wanting to try out their English. Worth a 3 hour bus ride from Lanzhou to see the monastery and go for a hike into the highlands.」
