If kindly possible, I should like to know if it is free to visit Labrang temple and to take bus to and from Xiahe: here no notice about Labrang monastery and Lonely Planet guidebook writes about restrictions to travel here for foreigners. I am an italian interested in every kind of architecture.
Greetings, Giancarlo Borluzzi - Aosta - Italy.

Dear Giancarlo Borluzzi,
There is an entrance fee of Labrang temple. There is a restriction that the foreigners can't visit there by themselves. They need to visiting with a tour guide. If you need, i can arrange a tour for you. I will send an quote to you for reference. If you have any problems, you also can contact me directly.
