natural environment that makes

large Hui community and Goloks.
Located on the border between
Gansu and Sichuan, Langmusi has
a temple in each of these
province. The one in the Gansu
province has several large halls
surrounded by forest and is
located on the hillside
overlooking the village. At the
top of it, its a heavenly burial
site.
The one in the Sichuan
province is essentially a place
