Sky City Zizhu Temple, mysteries such as the Skull Wall
There are also prayer flags, mani stones, and storage houses that can be seen everywhere along the way
and fascinating folklore
But it's not just about the humanities
There is also a hidden treasure that has been overlooked
Towering Bird Mountain, Xinluhai under the snowy mountains
Snow-capped mountains, glaciers, Sapu Shenshan, vast grasslands of northern Tibet
The beauty of Tibet ends in Namtso
It can be said that this is a route full of beautiful scenery and people
PART01
About humanities
Tibetan residence & temple
Daofu Residence
Tibetan houses in Daofu County
It can be called the world's residential architecture "double unique"
A must is its distinctive feature
The second is because of the implementation of natural forest protection projects
Daofu houses are decorated internally and externally
All reflect a strong contrast with the natural world
The existing local shape is special, fluctuating and meandering, and the layers are clear
And the whole building is smooth, fresh and heavy
Plus the exquisite and pleasant decoration of the courtyard
This makes the building more striking and unrestrained
Serta Wuming Buddhist College
One of the largest Tibetan Buddhist colleges in the world
Miles up the Larung Gar Gully, under the azure sky
Between the green grass of Yinling, there are thousands of red wooden houses
Like the stars arching the moon, several golden halls are clustered
It is the Larung Gar Temple Five Ming Buddhist College
The monastic houses here are spectacular
Kilometers of valleys
It is covered with densely packed red log cabins
At first glance it is spectacular
In the distance, the entire mountain range is a sea of red
Derg Printing Institute
The Derg Printing Institute is a place trapped in time
Shuttling through such a "wooden book forest"
It's time tunnel
300 years of ups and downs
Frozen between this small piece of long, narrow heaven and earth
Zizhu Temple
Zizhu Monastery is located in the Qamdo region of Tibet
On Zizhu Mountain, Jueen Township, Dingqing County
It is about 37 kilometers away from the county seat of Dingqing
It is one of the highest monasteries in Tibet
It also exists in the area of Kham District
The largest, the largest number of believers,
One of the best-preserved temples of Bon rituals
It is located in a steep mountain, away from the hustle and bustle of the world
It has always maintained a pure atmosphere of practice
It is the holiest place of practice in Tibet
It is also the best place to learn about Tibetan culture
Zaandam Temple
The temple is located about one kilometer away from the county seat
On a white mountain that resembles a reclining elephant
It consists of the Red Hall, the White Hall and the monastic residence
From a distance, it looks like the Potala Palace
Therefore, it also has the title of "Little Potala Palace in Northern Tibet"
Dam Temple
The construction of the temple is said to be due to this
When Princess Wencheng entered Tibet and passed here
It is considered that this place is a treasure of feng shui
He commissioned his "Lumbu" to build a temple here
In the whole Tibetan area, there is only a heavenly burial here
There is a custom of preserving human skulls
And pile the skulls into a wall of skeletons
PART02
About Uncharted
Snowy mountains & lakes
Wrong access to Green Lake
Chotong Green Lake is also known as Chotong Triad Lake
It consists of three connected seas at an altitude of about 4500 meters
Haizi is nestled on the shores of three "sacred mountains"
It is surrounded on all sides by the "Danxia Landscape"
A casual shot is a blockbuster
With drone aerial photography, it is more spectacular and unique
New Road Sea
Located at the foot of Bird Mountain, its Tibetan name is Yulong Ratso
Crystal clear large glaciers from 5,000 meters above sea level grain snow basin
The straight lagoon grassland, lake light and ice peaks, is extremely spectacular
The lake is surrounded by highland spruce, fir, cypress, azalea trees
Surrounded by meadows, in summer and autumn, the mountain flowers are full of flowers
Sapu Mountain
Sapu Sacred Mountain is located in Puzonggou, Yangxiu Township, Ru County
It has stood here for thousands of years and is surrounded by mountains
The main peak is revered as the king of the local sacred mountain
In the height of summer, the top of Sap Mountain is covered in snow and snow, rain and fog
The bottom of the mountain is red and green, and the water and grass are abundant
Due to the deep valley ditch, the transportation is inconvenient
This breathtaking glacier has always been little known
In the past two years, it has only been known by more and more outdoor donkey friends
Namchao
Namtso is the same as the water
The blue sky and blue lake are integrated
A little ripple on the surface of the lake
It's like the pearl-and-jade dress worn by the goddess
