It's like another world, where sight, senses, soul, myth, legend, history, religion, mind, everything beyond scientific cognition cannot be expressed with the lens.
The extension of Zhangxiong culture, once brilliant, Atisha personally came to preach, Tang Xuanzang traveled west to stay foot, gold jewelry was framed everywhere, the dignity, rules, precepts, clothing, food, supplies, faith, joy, sorrow, culture... What will it be like?
The once glorious Gurg dynasty
At 8:15 AM, wait for sunrise.
Wait for the sunrise
Hold your breath
The heart jumps out with the sun
The moment when the sunrise shines on the earth forest is really exciting, will people here care about this sunrise moment?
The rising sun shines first on the earthen hills in the west, and the colors are brilliant
The warm sun gradually opened the curtain of Guge Tucheng, revealing its true face
The sunrise of the Gug Dynasty, mysterious, majestic!
The Kingdom of Gug faces east and west, and at sunset, another view.
As the sun sets in the west, the earthen mountains in the east of the city are orderly
Guge, the kingdom in the earthen forest, once full of gold and silver, the Dharma lineage, flourished for a while, and legend has it that it disappeared overnight, leaving no reason.
The horizon is endless
People who come to Guge will ask this question, why did Gidney Magun choose this place to build a palace, with the mountain behind it, surrounded by rivers on three sides, facing the endless wilderness, and the scene of the movie --- come to mind The mighty invading troops, the brave Gug army, the two armies fighting...
The blue sky, the quiet earthen forest, accompanied by the past of history
The thousand-year-old temple, today's people are somewhat incompatible with it, who was in and out of here in those years? Who has ever settled here, the vicissitudes and catastrophes of a thousand years, still kindly watching the changes in the world, life is short, why should everything be concerned.
I have the opportunity to visit today, and I will have wandered here a thousand years ago.
The Tang Dynasty Xuanzang passed by this place on his westward journey, describing the murals here mostly made of gold paint and extremely rich. The Guge site and the nearby Piga murals are second only to the Mogao Caves, and the color materials and craftsmanship are still breathtaking.
The Guge Dynasty, the grand name, the mysterious history, the unique geographical structure, the living caves were the houses of the time, there were blackened mostly for the dwellings, and the smaller belonged to the practitioners.
Living in the skyline of the Gurg Dynasty, the only remaining decorations.
Many researchers say that a secret passage was found on the palace leading down the mountain, is this it?
By mistake, we walked the 15-speed washboard road, admiring the magical earthen forest, and bumping to Zada.
From Ali to Zada, without taking the modern tarmac road, it crosses all the way through history
The comrades at the checkpoint said that we had taken the old road, bumpy but with a nice view. Stop and take pictures at the photo spot, look around, and have to cross along the bumps of the Elephant Spring River to the back of the tulin of the picture...
Elephant Spring River
I heard that the dusk shines on the tulin, the sunrise looks at the guge, due to time reasons, the sunrise and sunset we are all lingering on the gug tucheng, and we can only see the majesty of the tulin on the way back.
Snowy mountains in the distance, earthen forests in the near distance
Spectacular
Tulin
