If you haven't been to Ali, you haven't been to Tibet
Ali is the most Tibetan Tibet
When walking into Ali, turn around the Kailash Sacred Mountain
You will understand that the meaning of life lies in a belief
A pious quest to transcend the constraints of this world
All the worldly dust disappears in an instant
The mind seems to be purified and sublimated
Ali turned the mountain
▼
When walking into Ali
Caressing the ruins of Gug's broken wall
Think of the prosperity and decline of this place in ancient times
Witness the thousands of miles of Zada Tulin
You will marvel at the magic and wonder of nature
Here, the harmony between man and nature is so flawless
Travel through this vast land
Pequer staggered onto herds of wild horses
There were also flocks of wild donkeys and Tibetan antelopes that passed by
You will find
You are better than the eagles and Tibetan antelopes here
Be free!
The roof of the roof of the world
The roof of the world is in Tibet, and the roof of Tibet is in Ali
Ali, majestic in the southwestern border of the motherland
It is located in the western part of the Tibet Autonomous Region and the southwest of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau
A regional-level administrative region of the Tibet Autonomous Region of China
The average altitude is 4500 meters
It has a land area of 300,000 square kilometers
That's the equivalent of 19 Beijings, or 50 Shanghais
It's even a little bigger than the whole of Italy
It is one of the least densely populated regions in the world
Due to the rugged and changeable terrain, the natural conditions are harsh
It seems desolate but all-encompassing
Nature is made here
Mountains, valleys, earthen forests, moraines, volcanoes, grasslands
Such a vast and desolate and completely different terrain
It is a paradise for hikers, photographers
For everyone who comes to Tibet
All have the same Alimon
They carry longing, with the unknown, with faith
Walk on the pilgrimage road of turning mountains, waters, and stupas
Again, for Tibetans
Many people's long-cherished wish in life is to make a pilgrimage to Kailash
But sometimes we think
There is no shortage of sacred mountains in Tibet
Why Kailash?
Himalayas
There are 10 peaks over 8,000 meters
In front of the majestic Himalayan mountains
Kailash is not towering
But there are four major sects of Tibetan Buddhism, Bon, Hinduism and Jainism
All regard Kailash as "the head of the sacred mountain" and the "center of the world"
The vast majority of the peaks we see on the plateau
The basic mountain lines are tough and sharp in shape
But Kailash's summit is more "rounded"
Majestic and resolute between the mountains
Although the altitude is not high, the peak is sunny
Snow doesn't melt all year round, it's snowy
When the sun shines, it seems to have its own Buddha's light
Huge ice troughs and transverse rock formations descend vertically from the summit
Formed a huge natural symbol "swastika"
It is called "Yongzhong" and symbolizes eternity
This symbol
Tibetan Buddhism considers it to be a "swastika", while Bon buddhism considers it to be a "swastika"
Kailash is not only enshrined as the "head of ten thousand mountains"
It is also the "source of a hundred rivers"
The snow-capped mountains of Kailash meltwater and nurture four great rivers
Maquan River, Shiquan River, Xiangquan River, Peacock River
The river flows in four directions
Flow to different regions, different directions
In the end, it magically injected into the Indian Ocean
Both sides of these rivers gave birth to epic and splendid ancient civilizations
Ancient Zhang-zhung civilization, Tibetan civilization, ancient Indus civilization, Ganges civilization
Kailash, in this way, has always stood on this plateau
Witnessing the vicissitudes of human civilization
Turning the mountain is a practice
It is said in the Buddhist scriptures
"Worship the Buddha, sin destroys Hengsha"
When life encounters pain that cannot be solved
Or when there is a desire to get rid of confusion and sin
Tibetans would choose to go to Kailash to worship
On this extremely difficult pilgrimage
They were holding handguards, long aprons, and their hands were folded
Touch forehead, contact, chest
The body, speech, and mind merge with the Buddha
Devoutly and calmly worship each other and practice each other
Pray for all living beings
Find peace and calm for yourself and your family
Holy lake and ghost lake
For thousands of years, the ancestors of the Tibetan people believed
Every mountain, every lake, could be a dwelling place for God
He identified the strange-looking mountain peak lake as the "Sacred Lake of the Sacred Mountain"
Kailash is seen as the "center of the universe"
Hence the lake at the foot of Mount Kailash, The Mapanyong
Identified as a holy lake, the two are collectively known as "Gango"
It is worshipped at the same time as a "sacred mountain sacred lake"
Ma Pang Yong is wrong
In Tibetan, it means "the lake of jasper that is invincible or eternally undefeated"
It is the freshwater lake with the highest lake transparency in China
The lake is clear and sparkling, making it a paradise for wildlife
It is divided into four major sects: Tibetan Buddhism, Bon, Hinduism, and Jainism
Commonly revered as the "Sacred Lake"
Ghost Lake "Laon Wrong"
It's a saltwater lake, which means "poisonous black lake" in Tibetan.
The lake is dark in dark blue
Rare plants and animals around the lake
The vast lake area is empty and silent, lifeless
When the lake surface is caused by the huge ripples of the wind, it looks even more eerie
It seems that behind the light, the darkness is always like a shadow
But Tibetans believe that even the darkest things have the potential to be touched by light
One day, the "Holy Lake" and the "Ghost Lake" will be connected
The water of the "Ghost Lake" Laon Mistake will be as holy and sweet as the water of the Mapon Yong Wrong
In fact, ignore the legend of the "Sacred Mountain Sacred Lake"
Just look at the snow-covered Kailash and two magical lakes
It's already an extreme scenery treat
The Lost Gug Dynasty
The Gurg dynasty, which flourished for a time
On the banks of ali's Elephant Springs River
The golden old castle blends in with the earthen mountain
The majestic Gug Castle stands proudly in the dreamlike mountains
The morning sun shines on this mysterious kingdom that has disappeared for a hundred years
As if traveling through time and space, the prosperity of Guge has reappeared
Look up at the top of the world - Everest Base Camp
There are some places that you don't go to now
I don't know if there will be a chance to meet in the future
Everest must-see list entries in life
Walk into Everest Base Camp to see the top of the world
Feel the greatest righteousness in the world
Zada Tulin – Ali's first wonder
Zada Tulin, a unique wonder on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau
It is the largest, most typical, and most completely preserved in the world
The most peculiar form and the largest distribution area of the soil forest
These "trees" made of soil have been carved and polished over hundreds of thousands of years
Nature's magic creates a variety of things
It is like a mythical world against the background of the psychedelic light and shadow of the plateau
The fluctuations of civilization disappear here and are remembered here
Ali turned to the mountain, and the soul returned to his hometown
Ali turned the mountain, whether it was to feel the power of devout faith
Or the beautiful scenery along ali's way
Or a mysterious ancient civilization
As long as, overcome altitude sickness at high altitudes
On this most difficult journey around the mountain
Eventually you'll meet yourself
The ultimate paradise for photographers
Ali, providing unlimited creative space
An endless world, a starry sky
The Guge Dynasty at sunset, Kailash in Rizhao Jinshan
Sunrise and sunset of the lake and the color of the lake
Devout congregations on the pilgrimage
All will become memories that will not be abandoned
Step by step, worship the faith
You see or don't see
The Buddha is there, neither sad nor happy
The Fa is there, not dirty and impure
The monk is there, and he doesn't leave
Each team carries a drone and records the entire wonderful trip in many ways.
