Introducing Lángmùsì
Straddling the border between Sìchuān and Gānsù is Lángmùsì (Taktsang Lhamo in Tibetan), a rural Tibetan village nestled among steep grassy meadows, evergreen forests and snow-clad peaks. An enchanting place, surrounded by countless red and white monastery buildings and with numerous possibilities for hikes and horse treks, it’s easy to spend a few relaxing days here.

The government allegedly has plans to ‘renovate’ the entire town in 2007 and 2008, which has us wincing, so you should expect some disturbance.
Note that street names haven’t been provided for listings as they are all on Lángmùsì’s only street.
