It is the mountain that is illuminated by the sun
The water of the lake is soaked by clouds
Golden prayer wheels, white stupas
Gulls flying in the morning light, horses galloping in the sunset
Together they form the sacred lake of the sacred mountain every intoxicating day and night
Kailash's twilight
sunrise
In 1907, the Swedish explorer Sven Hedin came to Mapon Yoncho.
He not only discovered that the shape of Ma Pan Yong Tso was an irregular oval shape, about 24 kilometers in diameter, and the lake surface was 4604 meters above sea level, about two meters higher than the ghost lake Laang Tso next to it, but also took a boat to see the lake light and water color of Ma Pan Yong Tso and La Ang Tso in the moonlight.
He saw the magnificent sunrise of Mapan Yongcuo and recorded this wonderful moment:
The east gradually revealed the white of the fish's belly, illuminating the surrounding mountains.
Thin clouds that fluttered like feathers gradually turned rose-red.
The red clouds on the lake make them feel as if they are in a beautiful rose garden.
The first rays of sunlight shine on the summit of the snowy mountain, transforming into a bright red and golden glow.
As the sun rises, the backlit side of the snow-capped mountain slides down the ridge to the east and west like a large piece made of sunlight.
The rising sun, shining like a diamond, casts a band of clouds hanging from the mountainside onto the distant hillside.
The miraculous and changeable sacred mountain and holy lake ignite the brilliant colors of life.

At the foot of Qiwu Temple (i.e., Wu Temple), on the shore of Lake Mapan Yongcuo
Waiting for the sunrise is like waiting for the curtain to open for a gorgeous performance.
The lake spreads endlessly, and the layers of waves kiss the shore of the lake.
Standing in this body of water, you can easily think of the honors that have been placed on her: she is the "invincible jasper lake", "the center of the world", the "mother of the rivers", the "nectar given by the Great Lord of Katsura", the paradise of the gods.
There is no wind on lake Mapan Yong Tso before sunrise.
Quietly like a sleeping baby, lying quietly in the arms of the mountains, only the stars of the sky lit up the night sky in a flash.
A ray of golden light appeared on the side of the day, and the sun broke through the clouds, emitting a vast light, awakening the whole world.
The surface of the lake is sparkling like thousands of fish jumping.
If you've seen the sunrise too, you'll never forget the joy of waiting for a harvest. At that moment, your heart will beat faster, and your blood will boil for perhaps the most fantastic beauty in the world.
Every sunrise is the beginning of hope.
The scene that belonged to the sunrise came to an end, and the day of Ma Pang Yongcuo had just begun.
sunset
Dusk is the most ambiguous time of day.
Ali's twilight is the ultimate brilliance.
Everything dragged out a long shadow on the earth, bathed in golden light.
Until the sunset converged on the last rays of light, the moon rose...

Near the town of Plantarchin, next to National Highway 219
The dusk of the Baga grassland is magnificent and brilliant, and the orange red under the sunset light creates a spectacular scene that can only be found in dreams, and the sky is red, the clouds are red, and the earth is also red.
Kailash is illuminated by the afterglow of the setting sun, and the mountain is also stained red, which is a unique scene of the sunshine golden mountain.
There is no time to sigh and pity, but to keep pressing the shutter to keep this endless change.

Next to The Puran 207 Provincial Road, on the hill on the shore of Lake Ma Pan Yong Tso
The Mapan Yong Tso at sunset is beautiful.
Snow-capped mountains, lakes, prayer flags, pagodas...
The shoreline of the lake extends into the distance, followed by Namunani Peak. Standing on the hill, quietly watching the peaks of the mountain being plated with gold little by little, the floating clouds changing, and the light and shadow being confused.
Until the sunset sinks, the moon rises, the galaxy spins, and the world sinks into a dream.
