65 kilometers south
of the Zhangye proper, in the Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, lies the Mati
Temple, This is a famous scenic spot integrating grotto art, mountain views
and folk customs of the Yugu minority group. The temple got its name because
legend has it that a Chinese Pegasus landed here, leaving a huge horseshoe
imprint that can still be seen within the Mati Hall.
For those wanting to stay for a few days here, exploring and wandering,
it is possible to stay in a Yugu minority tent, where you can drink chang
(Tibetan wine, made of barley) and sample the traditional "hand eaten
lamb". The nomads here lead a unique lifestyle and have many customs.
Horseriding can be tried for the adventurous. |
