Xiahe (Sangchu)

China / Gansu / Linxia /

Tibetan name is Sangcher or Sangchu, commonly also "Labrang".
This ever-popular backpacker destination straddles the mountainous border region between Gansu and Sichuan provinces. It's a great place to relax for a few days in the thin alpine air and take in the dawn chanting of the monks uphill at Labrang Monastery. Tara Guesthouse is highly recommended.
