Laon Tso is juxtaposed with Manasarovar and is known as the "Ghost Lake". But its fame cannot be compared with the "holy lake" Manasarovar. The area of Laon Co is small, slightly lower than that of Manasarovar. In 1906, after measuring the water depth of Manasarovar, Swedish geographers tried to measure the depth of Laon Co, but only to measure the northern end of the lake to no avail. Its depth is still a mystery. Due to the climate change over the years, the water of Laangcuo Lake can no longer flow out and is closed into an inland lake. In the past 100 years, the amount of water supplied from Manasarovar through the Anja waterway has been intermittent, and the accumulated water area is much smaller than that of Manasarovar. The process of increasing chemical degree, but it is still a magnificent lake. There is still a river between the ghost lake and the holy lake. There is a small island in the ghost lake. It is said that there is a small temple on the island. Every winter, the lake is frozen and frozen, and the lama in the temple has contact with the outside world. Like the holy lake, the ghost lake is a paradise for birds.Purang · 43.8 km from downtown

Pilgrimage to Mount Kailash helped me find the answer. Only by letting go of your worries can you see what you need. Slow down and go slower, so that you can have more experiences and feelings in life, instead of having only one goal.

Separated from Manasarovar by the road, it has a different, unique, and incomparable beauty. The snow-capped mountains beside it are guarding each other. The scenery is stunning, the fun is average, and the cost-effectiveness is super high. It's worth the trip.

Baga Township is where Mount Kailash is located. In the evening, the weather was good and the accommodation was good. I took a short rest and walked along the roadside to see the sunset scenery on the plateau. Standing between heaven and earth, it was empty, lonely and quiet. On the plateau at an altitude of 4,500 meters, I looked around and saw the continuous snow-capped mountains and wandering white clouds. The snow-capped peaks appeared and disappeared in the clouds.

Mount Namunani is across Mount Kailash from Lake Manasarovar. Although its altitude is higher than Lake Kailash, it is very low-key and silently guards its sister and the holy lake. Whether you love it or not, care about it or not, it will always stand there. Turn left from the PetroChina gas station in Baga Township on National Highway 219 to Purang County. It is on the left side of the driving direction (on the right side on the return trip), almost on the side of the road. You can see the golden mountain in the morning and evening. If you take National Highway 219 to the Prayer Flag Square to see Mount Kailash, we can also see Mount Namunani across Lake Manasarovar. Mount Namunani under the blue sky is more magnificent, holy and magnificent.

Gongzhucuo is a small lake that we passed by when returning to Lhasa from Ali. It is small and exquisite, with a lot of floating sand and rich vegetation on the lakeside. At the same time, we made full use of the principle of being close at hand and walked a full 2 ​​kilometers from the roadside to the lakeside.

The Hanging Temple in Purang County is located on the north bank of the Majia Zangbo River. It was originally a cave for spiritual practice. Later, due to the construction of the temple and the spread of myths, it gradually became a holy place. This ancient temple of the Zhigongju sect with a long history was dug into the mountain. The temple is in the form of a trestle bridge in front of the cave, which is about 30 meters above the river bank. There are stairs and paths along the hillside, and you can climb to the temple from the foot of the mountain.
