Among the three sacred lakes in Tibet, Namtso in Nagqu has the highest altitude and the largest area. Located in Shannan, Yangzhuo Yongcuo is the most peaceful and beautiful. So, what about Ma Pangyong's mistake? Not many people know about it, and even fewer have seen it.
Many people have seen Namtso and Yang Zhuoyong, but The Ma Pang Yong is hidden in the sky, it is too far away. The journey from Lhasa to Mapangyongcuo is about 1,500 kilometers, which is not an easy journey.
The day before I went to the sacred mountain of Kailash, after a long journey through hardships and long journeys, I finally saw Mapan Yongcuo, and perhaps it was because of its protection that I completed the later Kailash mountain tour.
Mapangyongcuo is the highest sacred lake in Buddhism, and it is also the lake with the best water quality and the highest transparency in China.
Mapang Yongcuo is the only freshwater lake among the three sacred lakes in Tibet, and its elevation of 4,600 meters makes it the highest freshwater lake in the world.
In fact, everyone who sees it will have the same illusion as me, will feel that it is not really beautiful, whether it is blue color, or the vast scale, have fulfilled the sentence "This scene should only be in heaven, and the earth can be encountered several times."
MapanYongcuo is the birthplace of the four major rivers in Asia, the Maquan River in the east, the Peacock River in the south, the Xiangquan River in the west, and the Shiquan River in the north. It is known as the West Queen Mother Yaochi, and since ancient times Buddhist believers have regarded it as the "center of the world".
This time, Shu Had the privilege of driving to the Qi Wu Monastery in the west of Mapang Yongcuo, and saw the stunning Mani Dui on the hillside opposite it, where you can just look at Kailash Peak and Namunani Peak, which are even more sacred against the blue water of the Lake.
There are 8 temples around Mapangyongcuo, which are spread out in all directions. To the east is the Sevalong Temple, to the southeast is nie guo temple, to the south is Chugu Temple, to the southwest is Guozu Temple, to the northwest is Ghagi Temple, which is based on a cave where five hundred arhats practice, to the west is Qi Wu Temple, to the north is Lang Na Temple, and to the northeast is Bon Ri Temple.
Every year, many Buddhists from home and abroad come here on pilgrimage, and Ma Pang Yongcuo, also known as the "Source of Ten Thousand Rivers", is the place where the Tang Dynasty monk Xuanzang called "Western TianyaoChi" in the "Records of the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty".
On that day, Shu Huang was on the shore of The Yongcuo Lake in Mapan, looking at the goddess of wisdom Namunani and the sacred mountain Kailash, silently making a wish and bringing blessings to his family and friends on the road. One day, will you also come to see the Holy Lake Ma Pan Yong Wrong?
Shu Huang has written a lot of articles and taken a lot of videos here, and Shu Huang is also willing to squat in a corner under the warm sun, sit on a small bench, and slowly and methodically tell you the latest travel stories, maybe this talk is a lifetime! Please pay attention to me, we are not seen on the road.
