Overview

The 2026 Langmu Si Festival takes place in the picturesque town of Langmusi, located about 90 km from Luqu County along the highway connecting Lanzhou and Chengdu. The town is steeped in legend — its name originates from a story about a fairy who turned into stone and then became a mountain.

Langmusi is home to two prominent Tibetan monasteries, situated on opposite sides of a small river in the valley. Originally founded as centers for advanced Buddhist study, these monasteries once rivaled the famed Labrang Monastery of Xiahe. Today, around 1,200 monks reside here, and the town continues to serve as a vibrant spiritual center.

The Langmu Si Festival, also known as the Monlam Chenmo Festival, is one of the most significant religious celebrations in Amdo and Kham regions of Eastern Tibet. During the festival, monks and pilgrims from across the Tibetan cultural world gather in Langmusi to offer prayers and homage to the Buddha Shakyamuni as if in his living presence.

Important Notes

  • Due to the high altitude, participants should be in good health and prepared for mild physical exertion.
  • Weather can be unpredictable in March — please pack warm, layered clothing and sun protection.
  • Festival schedules may vary slightly based on the lunar calendar and monastery decisions.
  • Internet access and mobile signal may be limited in Langmusi.
