Things to do in Qumarleb County

This is a small park in the oilfield residential area. It's hilarious! Who turned it into a tourist attraction?

Kunlun Sacred Spring is located in Nachitai Town, Golmud City, Qinghai Province, at an altitude of 3,700 meters. It is the largest non-freezing natural mineral spring in the Kunlun Mountains and is known as "Glacial Dew of the Ice Mountain". The spring water gushes out after more than 20 years of underground circulation from the melting snow and ice of the Kunlun Mountains. The water temperature remains at 7°C all year round. It is rich in minerals such as strontium and has health benefits. It is also closely related to the legend of Princess Wencheng's journey to Tibet and is now an important tourist attraction on the Qinghai-Tibet Highway.

Jiegu Temple is located on Jiegu Mountain in Jiegu Town, Yushu, at an altitude of more than 3,700 meters. Jiegu Temple has a long history and profound origins. It is the largest Tibetan Buddhist temple in Yushu. The main buildings of Jiegu Temple are the cathedral, the Buddhist hall, the pagoda, etc. Standing on the top of Jiegu Temple and looking far into the distance, the green mountains are surrounded by clouds and mist, and the winding water of Batang River is like a ribbon, passing through Jiegu Town, connecting King Gesar Square, Jiegu Temple Town, and Yushu State Museum.

We passed by here on the way from Haixi to Golmud by car, beside the Qinghai-Tibet Highway. The driver introduced this place to us. It is said that the temple houses statues of the Queen Mother of the West, the Lady of the Nine Heavens, and the Golden Saint Mother, as well as a statue of the Tenth Panchen Lama.

Another large lake about 100 kilometers away from the two lakes at the source of the Yellow River (Zhaling Lake/Eling Lake). The lake water is verdant. Very beautiful. There is an observation deck along the G214 road towards Maduo County. However, you can't see the whole lake; you can go to the lakeside from a distance. But after searching for a long time, I still couldn't find the entrance. Keep it as a thought! !

I came to Maduo County in the hinterland of Qinghai just for the two lakes and one monument, the source of the Yellow River - Eling Lake and Zhaling Lake near Bayan Langma Mountain. These two plateau lakes were formed by the snow water from the surrounding mountains such as Kunlun Mountain and Bayankala Mountain. The source of the Yellow River in the common sense refers to here. Because it is located on a plateau without pollution, the lake water is clear and blue, the grassland beside the lake is green, and climbing to the top of the mountain where the Niutou Monument is located is like walking in the clouds, with an intoxicating scene of sky light and cloud shadows wandering together. It's a pity that the wind on the top of the mountain is too strong, and the altitude is 4610 meters, which makes my head hurt, so I can only pass by in a hurry.

Kunlun Sacred Land, a city that never sleeps, offers a journey into Kunlun culture. Throughout the streets, you can experience the cultural roots deeply rooted in the "ancestor of all mountains." Strolling through the streets, you'll experience the spectacular performances of the Queen Mother of the West's Yaochi, especially around 8 p.m., when the lights come on. The neighborhood's atmosphere is truly thoughtful.

It is said that there are 3 billion Mani stones in Xinzhai, and one circle is 3 kilometers. The city of Janamani is more than 850 kilometers away from Xining, with an altitude of 4,500 meters. The huge pile of Mani stones, a large prayer hall, a Buddhist hall, 10 large prayer wheels, more than 300 small prayer wheels, and more than a dozen pagodas together constitute this pilgrimage site. The number of Janamani stone carvings, the length of time they took to carve, and the scale of the carvings are rare in the world. Legend has it that more than 300 years ago, the famous first Janam Living Buddha picked up a natural Mani stone here, and immediately realized his mission: to benefit sentient beings and prosper Buddhism here. So he continued to carve Mani stones here. Since then, on the side of the majestic and beautiful mountain slope at the edge of Jiegu Town, a huge city built of stones engraved with Mani scriptures was finally born, which was the result of the hard work of the first Jiana Living Buddha and countless Buddhist believers. It was raised inch by inch and expanded foot by foot almost every day. By 1955, the number of Mani stones in Jiana Mani City reached 2.5 billion.
