Suokezang Monastery
索克藏寺
A Tibetan Buddhist monastery at the foot of the Yellow River's First Bend viewpoint, with a white stupa, prayer flags, and river bends in one frame. It is a convenient stop before or after sunset in Tangke.
Suokezang Monastery is about 6 km north of Tangke Town, near where the Yellow River meets the Bai River and close to the entrance of the First Bend scenic area. The white stupa, prayer flags, and grassland river bends in front of the monastery make a classic scene. Most visitors stop here before or after watching the sunset from the viewing platform. The monastery itself is free to enter, but the scenic-area shuttle and escalator cost extra. Visitors crowd the area in the summer evenings, so follow parking signs when driving. Respect religious customs inside the monastery, and do not take photos of monks without permission.
