In Ganzi, Sichuan, China there is the largest Tibetan Buddhist academy in the world. Your Shot photographer Ning Zhang says, “the academy is called Larong Wuming Buddhist Academy which belongs to the Nyingma sect (red sect) of Tibetan Buddhism. Located at 3700m above sea level, there are thousands of monks and nuns living in thousands of red houses doing their spiritual practice there. The density of the houses make an awesome red view.” Photograph by Ning Zhang
