Yongbulakang

Yongbulakang, which means "mother's womb" in Tibetan, is the first palace in Tibetan history and one of the earliest buildings in Tibet. It is located in the southeast of Zetang Town, Shannan Prefecture, and towers over the top of Zhaxi Ci Ri Mountain on the east bank of the Yalong River (take bus No. 2 in the city to directly reach the terminal station Yongbulakang). You can choose to ride a horse or walk to the foot of the mountain (it is recommended to walk, riding a horse is not necessary, and the cost is about 30 yuan). It is estimated that it will take only 15-20 minutes to climb up. However, it is under maintenance recently and cannot be entered. You can climb up to see the scenery. It is very beautiful!

Interestingly, the first Tibetan king who built Yongbulakang was not a Tibetan, but from Bomi in the east. It is said that he was born handsome, with a web between his fingers, and possessed incredible divine power. He was regarded as an evil demon and expelled by the Bomi people. He fled to the west, and after passing through the Gongbu area, he met Tibetans who were going to the east to find a leader. They put him on their necks and invited him to Yalong, where he became the first king in Tibetan history, Niechi Zamp. This ancient palace can be seen from afar. You can walk up the stone steps from the foot of the mountain, or rent Tibetan horses to ride up the mountain. Unfortunately, Yongbulakang was under renovation, so we had to watch it from afar at the foot of the mountain.

You have to climb up the mountain to get to this palace. It takes about 20 minutes to walk slowly. It is much better than Ram Lacuo. People with poor physical strength can also ride horses for 50 yuan per person. It can only be said that the commercialization of scenic spots in Tibet is getting more and more serious. In the past few years, it only cost 20 yuan to ride a horse up the mountain. We walked and played, and took a break when we were tired. There was no pressure at all. Yongbulakang is no longer open to the public. I took pictures around the palace. The green mountains, rice fields, blue sky, white clouds, and prayer flags on the top of the mountain in front of me are still different. The scenery is still unforgettable.

Yongbulakang, the first palace in Tibetan history, is said to have been built by Bon believers for the first Tibetan king, Nyatri Tsenpo, in the 2nd century BC. It is more than 2,000 years old and has witnessed the early development process of Tibet.

Yongbulakang is located on the Zhaxi Ciri Mountain outside Zedang Town, Shannan City, with an altitude of 3,700 meters. You need to take a taxi from Zedang Town to the foot of the mountain and walk up the mountain. The mountain is not very high and it takes about 15 minutes to walk. Those who are not physically fit can also ride horses up the mountain. The photo was taken in 1996. At that time, the road up the mountain was a dirt road and very slippery. Now there is an asphalt road, which is very easy to walk.

The temple of Yongbulakang is small, but its history is long. With Yongbulakang as the center, the earliest agricultural civilization in Tibet was created. This is the root of the endless agricultural culture of the Tibetan people and an indispensable part of Chinese civilization.

In the 2nd century, Nyatri Tsanpo, the first leader of the Yalong tribe, built Yongbulakang as his own palace. Songtsen Gampo, the 33rd leader of the Yalong tribe, converted the palace into a Buddhist temple after unifying Tibet and establishing the Tubo Dynasty. He also used it as a temple for himself and Wencheng.

"Yongbulakang" is the first temple in Tibet and one of the earliest buildings in Tibet, with a history of more than 2,000 years. What is the "oldest" thing about Yongbulakang? That is: the foundation under the palace. It is located in the southeast of Zetang Town, Shannan Prefecture, towering on the top of Zhaxi Ciri Mountain on the east bank of the Yalong River. Its status in the eyes of Tibetans is like Mont Saint-Michel in the eyes of the French.



All miracles are accompanied by a story. Legend has it that Princess Wencheng’s first stop when she entered Tibet was Yongbulakang. There is a song like this: "Princess Wencheng came from the Han area and brought 5,500 craftsmen with various skills, opening the door to the development of Tibetan crafts..." The crafts she brought marked the beginning of the spread of civilization.

Located 12 kilometers from Zetang Town, it was built in the 2nd century BC and is the first palace in Tibetan history. It is well-known for its unique architectural style and exquisite design, standing majestically on the top of a mountain. Yongbulakang was built for the first leader of the Yalong tribe, Nyatri Tsanpo. It was not until the 33rd king, Songtsen Gampo, unified the snowy plateau that he moved the palace to the Potala Palace in the early 7th century AD. Since then, Yongbulakang has gradually been transformed from a palace into a temple.

If you are traveling to Shannan, you will not miss Yongbulakang. About ten kilometers away from Zedang Town in Shannan City, it is the summer palace where Tibetan King Songtsen Gampo and Princess Wencheng escaped from the summer heat. It is built on a high mountain. It is a palace-like building, but it is not big and has its own characteristics. You need to climb a flight of stairs to get to the top. The view from the top overlooking the surrounding scenery is also worth seeing.

It is located on the top of Gushan Mountain, 12 kilometers away from Shannan City.

It’s a very beautiful, very good and very remote place. The small temple on the top of the mountain in the movie 2012 was filmed here.

This is said to be the earliest building in Tibet. It was later converted into a temple. It is said that Princess Wencheng and Songtsen Gampo also lived here. This building on the cliff at the top of the mountain is really impressive.

Although the temple is not big, it stands on the top of the mountain, overlooking the surroundings and looking very imposing. Standing on the tower and looking far away, you can have a panoramic view of the Yalong River Valley and the rural scenery.

Since you can't visit the castle which is under repair, there is no entrance fee. The round trip fee for riding up and down the mountain is 70 yuan, which is not expensive. The palace is not large, at most it is a small villa. Regarding my question about the water supply of the palace, the horseman said that there is no need to carry water from the bottom of the mountain, because there is a natural spring on the ridge behind the palace. The horseman is from the village at the bottom of the mountain, so what he said should be true. There is a wide valley and flat fields at the bottom of the mountain.

It should be said that it was the first palace of Princess Wencheng. Navigating to Yongbulakang, I saw the red and white building from afar... It was high up! Although I was the king of Tibet, I had to put safety first. The buildings of that era were actually full of defense. Those ancient castles in Europe were actually the same. After a quick discussion with my wife, we unanimously decided: no more climbing, it's too high! Haha.

Yongbulakang is the earliest temple in Tibet. It is an exquisitely constructed temple building built on the west side of the mountain and is also the symbol of Shannan. At the end of the road, when you get closer, you will find that it is still quite high. There are horses specially provided at the foot of the mountain to go up the mountain. The mountain road is completely carved out of the cliff and winds up in a Z shape.

The first palace in Tibet, the door is now closed and you can't get in, but it's great to climb to the top and sit and enjoy the scenery. So now it can be regarded as a free attraction.



Here is an update of the latest guide suitable for budget travelers. You can take bus No. 2 from Zedang Town to the vicinity of Yongbulakang for 1 yuan. You can reach the top quickly on foot. There is a sign on the top of the mountain that is a little unclear, but it should mean that tourists are allowed to hang prayer flags. If you want to hang prayer flags, you can buy them in the town and bring them with you. They cost 10 yuan each.



As for Gar Spring, you can see it when you go down the road. It is located at the end of the road with horses and camels at the foot of the mountain. During the day, many locals will wash their hair, faces, feet and bodies here. Remember to bring a bottle so that you can fill it up and drink it back.

It is under maintenance and not open to the public, but you can go up to take pictures of the scenery. In order to save time, I chose to ride a horse, which costs 40 yuan per person to go up the mountain and 30 yuan to go down the mountain. I chose to walk down the mountain by myself. When I climbed to the top, the wind and sand were so strong that I could eat sand in my mouth. It took 10 minutes to go down the zigzag steps.

Unfortunately, the Yongbulakang was under repair and I could only walk around the periphery.

Yongbulakang is under repair and looks very desolate. You can go up there on horseback. The ticket is 50 yuan per person.

The main reason for choosing this place is that it is the oldest temple in Tibet, which is said to be more than 2,100 years old.

Unique shape, unique historical charm.

The mountain is not high, you can walk up slowly, and it costs 50 yuan to ride a horse. The scenery on the mountain is pleasant and suitable for sightseeing.

Moreover, from the temple you can see large and neatly-grown barley fields below.

However, it is still under repair and you cannot go in to visit. You can walk around the temple and take pictures without a ticket.

Unfortunately, the road up the mountain is under construction, so we can't go in. Just look at it from a distance. It looks small from below, but this place is of great significance. Yongbulakang is the first palace in Tibetan history. When Princess Wencheng first came to Tibet, she would live here with Songtsen Gampo every summer.

I don't know why I have a special liking for Yongbulakang. It may be because of its long history and unique architectural shape that attracted me. Because the building has been closed during renovation, I wanted to go up even though I knew I couldn't see anything. After some effort, they made an exception and agreed to go up. I have to climb a big zigzag slope to go up. But the scenery is beautiful when you look far away. There is a flat and open area between the mountains, which feels like a pastoral area.

Yongbulakang, which means "mother-womb" in Tibetan, is the first palace in Tibetan history and one of the earliest buildings in Tibet. Legend has it that it was built in Yalong by the early Yalong tribal leader, Nyettri Zamp, the first king in Tibetan history. It has a history of more than 2,100 years.

Yongbulakang is a temporary palace of Princess Wencheng. It is located on a mountain. It is not very high and you can climb it by yourself or on horseback.

We found Tibetans here to ride horses, it seemed to be 30 per time, we rode on the horses and then walked down. There is a very magical custom here, women can't ride horses, so the men who were sent to the mountain all rode down on horses.

Yongbulakang is not very big and taking photos is not allowed inside

It was the first palace in Tibetan history, but it was really very small.

It's not very big, but it's really high.

There are also Mani piles that are very common in Tibet, which are used by Tibetans to pray for blessings.

Climb to the top of the mountain and look from the top, it is really dirt for dozens of miles around...

It was under maintenance, but you can go up, but the main hall is closed, and no one collects tickets. I couldn't enter the hall, but I could feel its grandeur. Yongbulakang is where Princess Wencheng and Songtsen Gampo come to escape the summer heat every year.

There was a horse team at the foot of the mountain. I originally wanted to ride a horse up the mountain, but it cost 30 yuan. After failing to bargain, I decided to climb up. Things proved that this decision was right. The scenery along the way up the mountain was really beautiful, the most beautiful I have seen since coming to Tibet! Oh my God, it was really beautiful!

It happened to be a sunny day, and the scenery was much more beautiful than expected. I saw some friends on the Internet saying that Yongbulakang is very beautiful under a clear sky. How beautiful is it? You can't really experience it unless you are there in person.

On the way up the mountain, I kept taking pictures of the beautiful scenery. The volunteer teacher and his friends who climbed up the mountain with me came down after reaching the top, while Xiao Ge and I only reached the halfway point, so later on, the memory on my phone was not enough!!!

Climbing to the top of the mountain, you can see a lot of prayer flags, connecting the mountaintops one after another. The colorful prayer flags are interlaced, drawing beautiful arcs between the mountains. The sun is shining, the blue sky is reflecting, and the cool breeze is blowing. On the Tashi Tsering Mountain, next to the Yongbulakang, they pray for believers from all directions for a long time.

Looking ahead, soft clouds piled up on the distant mountains, a piece of white, rolling mountains rooted in the flat land, a piece of green, on the flat land, a piece of golden wheat fields, neatly arranged houses, spread out in an orderly manner. Looking closely, the road up the mountain is arranged in a Z shape, and the people and horses walking are tiny, which also adds a bit of agility to the vision.

Sitting on the top of the mountain, surrounded by prayer flags, I felt so peaceful that I didn’t want to leave.

Although it was under repair, it did not affect us at all. After we went up, the sunshine and blue sky instantly conquered us...

When we went there, the palace was under renovation and was closed, so we could only look at it from a distance at the foot of the mountain.

Take bus No. 2 from Shannan directly, then take a detour and climb up. It was completed in three months. It is the first palace in Tibet, shocking!

The Yongbulakang Temple unified the kings, places, and architecture of Tibet (built in 127 BC) 2145 years ago. It is a building that I admire. (Although it is a replica now.) It is a textbook for understanding Tibetan history.

At that time, I was standing at the foot of the mountain and looking up, I saw such a tiny thing called a palace. How could people escape the summer heat with the surrounding barren mountains and Gobi?

Although Yongbulakang is many times smaller than the Potala Palace, it is the first palace in Tibet and has a lofty status. According to legend, Yongbulakang was built by Yongdrung Bon believers in the 2nd century BC for the first Tibetan king, Nyatri Tsanpo, and later became the summer palace of Songtsen Gampo and Princess Wencheng in Shannan. We did not climb the mountain to see the palace with white exterior walls, but just drove and watched from a distance at the foot of the mountain. Looking up at it will make people involuntarily feel awe, especially for Yongbulakang.

Since the Yongbulakang is under repair, we cannot visit Yongbulakang, which is a pity. Even if we look at Yongbulakang from a distance, it looks like a mini version of the Potala Palace, but it makes us feel more respectful!

As the first palace in Tibetan history, it is necessary to visit it.

It's a pity that I came all the way from Beijing but it's closed for visit due to maintenance. It is said that Yongbulakang is the first palace in Tibetan history, with a history of more than 2,100 years. It is located on the Zhaxi Ciri Mountain, 11km southeast of Zetang Town. Because the mountain looks like the hind legs of a doe, the temple is named after it is built on the legs of a deer: "Yongbu" is a doe, "La" is the hind legs, and "Kang" is the palace. The temple is small in scale, but it stands on the top of the mountain, overlooking the scenery, which is very spectacular. Standing on the highest tower on the mountain, you can see the scenery of the Yalong River Valley and the pastoral scenery. Legend has it that when Princess Wencheng first came to Tibet, she would come here to live with Songtsen Gampo every summer.

About 400m northeast of Zhaxici Ri Mountain, there is a spring called "Gar Spring" that flows all year round. It is said that the spring water can cure all diseases. Many people who come to Yongbulakang for pilgrimage come here to drink the water and purify themselves.

The scenic area is open from 8:30am to 7:00pm. After getting off the bus, we couldn't wait to climb up the mountain.

Traffic tips: Since Yongbulakang is not far from Zetang Town, about 10 kilometers away, you can choose a variety of ways to get there. There are many Santana taxis in Zetang Town that can run this route. The round-trip charter price is ￥100/car. There is also a cheaper way, which is to take a motorized tricycle or ride a bicycle. This Ze-Yong Highway is a great black cement road. If you have enough time, you can choose to walk. When bargaining with taxi or motorized tricycle drivers, you must first say how long you will stay near Yongbulakang. It is best to give them more time (people who don’t like taking pictures only need to visit Yongbulakang for about an hour) to avoid disputes due to the driver raising the price due to a long delay. No matter what car you take, it can only go to the foot of the mountain. You have to climb the mountain yourself to get to Yongbulakang. There are fellow villagers at the foot of the mountain renting horses for people with poor physical strength to ride up the mountain. It only takes about 15 minutes to climb up by yourself.

If you don't go into the palace to visit, you don't need to buy a ticket (Note: Lamas are free of charge). The palace is not big and contains Buddha statues, scriptures, ritual instruments, etc.

Yongbulakang is the first palace in the history of Tibet. Standing on the highest tower on the mountain, you can see the scenery of Yalong River Valley and the pastoral scenery. Legend has it that when Princess Wencheng first came to Tibet, she would live here with Songtsen Gampo every summer. You can see the beautiful scenery when you climb up, including the first farmland in the history of Tibet, beautiful mountains, and prayer flags. It is really a must-see place. There are Tibetan jewelry for sale at the foot of the mountain, but it is not recommended to buy them. You can choose to walk up or ride a horse. If you ride a horse, don't worry. Although the road is very steep, the horseman will lead the horse, which is very safe. Tianya Outdoor Travel Club recommends trying to ride a horse up. There will be some small attractions after coming down.

Yongbulakang is the first palace in Tibetan history. It is located in Naidong City, on the top of the mountain of Zhaxi Ciri Mountain on the east bank of the Yalong River, about five kilometers southeast of Naidong County in Shannan Prefecture. The temple is very small. Yongbulakang is said to be the earliest building in Tibet. The ticket is 30 yuan. The weather is good👍The sky is very blue. Climbing up the mountain and looking at the beautiful scenery in the distance is very spectacular! Many tourists ride horses along the way

The first palace of Yongbulakang, according to historical records, was built in the second century BC. It was the summer palace of Princess Wencheng and Songtsen Gampo.

The temple dedicated to the monarchs of the Tibetan region is worth a visit for those who like Tibetan culture.

The first palace in Tibetan history. The first thing that came to my mind when I arrived was a picture of 2012.

The attraction is far away, it is the first temple in the history of Tibet.

The first palace in Tibetan history, the summer palace of Songtsen Gampo and Princess Wencheng! Built on the top of the mountain. A pocket-sized palace. You can ride a horse or walk from the bottom of the mountain to the top. Standing outside the palace, you can have a panoramic view of the entire area.

It is very close to Zetang, and there are few tourists in the afternoon. It costs 30 yuan to ride up the mountain and 20 yuan to ride down the mountain. The price has not increased in recent years. It can be said to be very conscientious. The palace ticket is 30 yuan. It is very small and has two floors. It depends on the individual whether it is worth it. If you go in, it is recommended to do your homework in advance. Yongbulakang is a good place to take pictures, with blue sky, white clouds, prayer flags, palaces and barley fields.

The history is worth seeing. The shape is also unique. But if you come here for fun or scenery, you will definitely be disappointed.

The zigzag winding mountain trail was a bit annoying. The air was low on oxygen. How could we reach the top? It would be very tiring to walk up, so we decided to ride a horse to the top. After all, we were here for tourism.

Yongbulakang, located on the top of the Zaxici Ri Mountain in Nedong County, is the first imperial palace in Tibetan history, with a history of more than 2,100 years. Yongbulakang has been the palace of successive Tibetan kings since the first Tibetan king, Nyatri Tsanpo, until the 33rd Tibetan king, Songtsen Gampo, unified the plateau and moved the capital to Lhasa. It is said that the first Buddhist scripture introduced to Tibet was hidden in Yongbulakang.

Yanghu Lake is the most beautiful, I love Yangzhuo Lake! Highly recommended

Very quaint and historically significant. Worth a look.

The first palace in Tibet, it is located on a high mountain with a man-made peak, and offers a panoramic view of the surrounding scenery.

This is the summer palace built for Princess Wencheng from our inland who married into Tubo. Seeing it is like seeing the tenacious image of our Han girl enduring humiliation and bearing heavy burdens, and it makes you sigh at the flesh-and-blood ties between nationalities. With it, there is harmony, and there is the unification of the motherland!

The first palace in Tibet was built halfway up a mountain, with a nice view.

Yongbulakang is the first palace in Tibetan history and is very close to Nadong.

You can see it not far out of the city.

It is very majestic on the top of a mountain but the area is not large. It is quite tiring to walk up there.

Horse riding has become a scenic spot here.

30 for going up the mountain and 20 for going down the mountain, no bargaining

Tourists are also coming in an endless stream

I think this price is very reasonable

Because the groom and the horse have such hard work

If you are confident in riding

You can ride it yourself...

From the mountain you can overlook the surrounding area...

Basically, there is nothing to see in this farmland. However, it is said that this farmland is the first cultivated land in Tibet.

You can take bus No. 2 from the city for 1 yuan to reach the scenic spot. The scenery is picturesque, simple and mysterious. Climb to the top of the mountain with your father and daughter, or you can ride a horse up the mountain (30 yuan). See picture

Since it is not far from Changzhu Temple, you can stop by and have a look. There are relics of Sakyamuni inside.

The first palace in Tibet, where Princess Wencheng and Songtsen Gampo visited every summer.

Yongbulakang: 3,600 meters above sea level, 30 yuan for admission. "Yongbu" means "doe" in Tibetan, referring to the shape of the Tashi Tsering Mountain, which resembles a doe lying quietly. "La" means hind legs, and "Kang" means palace. Together, Yongbulakang is a palace built on the "hind legs of a doe". Yongbulakang was built by Bon followers for the first Tibetan king, Nyatri Tsanpo. It is the first palace in Tibetan history and one of the earliest buildings in Tibet. Yongbulakang was the summer palace of Songtsen Gampo in Shannan. Princess Wencheng spent her first summer here after marrying to Tibet.

Although the Zhaxici Mountain is not towering into the clouds, and each step is not high, it is still very impressive to look up from the foot of the mountain. Relying on the countless steps, we decided to ride horses up the mountain. The Tibetans asked for 30 yuan per person, and we simply used the method of acting like a spoiled child to bargain down to 25 yuan. Looking down from the Zhaxici Mountain, the view is wide and the neat village is in full view.

The Yongbulakang building is divided into three parts: the first part is a tower-style building located in the middle of the east end of the entire building, which is the earliest building built by Nyatri Tsanpo in legend. It looks like a five-story building on the outside, but it is actually three-story on the inside; the second part is the main hall, which is said to have been built by Songtsen Gampo; the third part is the monks' quarters and ancillary buildings. Yongbulakang is not only the earliest palace in Tibetan history and the prototype of Tibetans' original houses, but also the main symbol of Yalong as the birthplace of Tibetan culture.

Below the White Pagoda is the beautiful and prosperous Yalong River Valley, with trees and fertile fields. The green farmland is growing well, surrounded by the Cangshan Mountains, and is set off by the blue sky, white clouds, red walls and golden roofs. When we entered the temple to buy tickets, the monk who sold tickets pointed to the tsampa placed aside and said that it was provided to the Buddha statue that day and we could try it. I pinched a small piece and put it in my mouth. The taste was nothing special, just the natural taste of purple sweet potato and tsampa noodles, light but also fragrant. We met several local people carrying slag up the mountain on the back mountain. The slag they carried up will be used to build a reservoir, so that the rainwater stored in the rainy season can be used by the monks on the mountain. I wonder if the water was also stored in this way in the past in Yongbulakang. At the foot of Yongbulakang Mountain, on a hillside more than 300 meters away from the parking lot, there is a spring that flows all year round, called "Gar Spring". Tibetan pilgrims will wash and drink water here after coming down the mountain, because it is said that this spring water can cure all diseases. Unfortunately, I forgot about it after going down the mountain.

Yongbulakang was built by the first Tibetan king, and is the first palace in Tibetan history. It was built in the 2nd century BC. It is divided into two parts, the front part is a three-story building, and the back part is a 30-meter-high watchtower on the top of the mountain.

That day,

I closed my eyes in the fragrant mist of the Sutra Hall,

Suddenly I heard the truth in your chanting;



That month,

I shook all the prayer wheels,

Not for salvation,

Just to touch your fingertips;



That year,

Prostrating myself on the mountain road,

Not for an audience,

Just to be close to your warmth;



In that life,

Circumambulate the mountains, the water, and the pagodas.

Not for the sake of cultivating the afterlife,

Just to see you on the way



That month,

I turned all the prayer wheels gently,

Not for salvation,

Just to touch your fingerprint;



That year,

I kowtow and embrace the dust,

Not for worshipping Buddha,

Just to be close to your warmth;



In that life,

I have searched all the mountains.

Not for the sake of cultivating the afterlife,

Just to meet you on the road;



only,

That night,

I forgot everything.

Abandoned faith,

Abandoning reincarnation,

Just for,

The rose that cried before the Buddha,

It has long lost its former luster.

The first palace in Tibetan history, where Songtsen Gampo and Princess Wencheng spent their summers. It is on a mountain and you can go up there on horseback. It is relatively small and has many Buddha statues. You are not allowed to take photos or wear glasses, but it is worth a visit.

The ticket price for this place is cheaper than other places. It is very small inside and there are relics enshrined. It is worth a visit if you pass by.

It’s not that bad for people who go to Yongbulakang. It’s a relatively small place. You have to ride horses to go up and walk up the stairs to go down.

It is said to be the filming location of the end of the world. There are horses at the foot of the mountain. You can choose to ride horses up the mountain. We didn't ask the price. We walked up by ourselves. We took a photo at the top of the mountain without entering the temple. It's good. It's very close to Changzhu Temple.

The first palace in Tibet stands quietly on the top of the mountain, under the blue sky, blessing the beautiful land of Shannan.

It is the first palace in Tibetan history, the summer palace of Songtsen Gampo and Princess Wencheng. It is relatively small, but it is located on the top of the mountain.

Riding up and down the horse at Yongbulakang is worth experiencing.

Yongbulakang is the first palace in Tibetan history, with a history of more than 2,100 years. It is located on the Zhaxi Ciri Mountain in the southeast of Zetang County. Because the mountain is like the hind legs of a doe, the Yongbu in Yongbulakang refers to the doe, La refers to the hind legs, and Kang refers to the palace. Yongbulakang is not very large, but it is very spectacular. Standing on the top of the mountain and looking down, you can see the scenery of the Yalong River Valley and the pastoral scenery. Legend has it that this is where Princess Wencheng lived with Songtsen Gampo when she first arrived in Tibet. After Songtsen Gampo passed away, Princess Wencheng has lived here

Address: Zhaxici Rishan, Zetang Town, Naidong County, Shannan Prefecture

Ticket price: 60 yuan/person

Horseback riding at the bottom of the mountain is 20 yuan/person, and riding down the mountain is 10 yuan/person

There is a temple on the mountain, and the view from the platform is particularly beautiful.

The mountain is a plateau, so those who are prone to altitude sickness should do it according to their ability. Fortunately, the local Tibetans have horse caravans to go up the mountain. You can spend 30 yuan to ride a horse up the mountain. It is recommended to walk down the mountain, which is not tiring. If you ride a horse up and down, it will cost 50 yuan.

If you go earlier, it would be nice to take some silhouette photos while there is still moon.

Looking from a distance, I guessed that this must be a place with a mysterious story. It is so beautiful that I dare not disturb it!

The palace was built on a mountain to make people admire it. As the oldest palace, it is not easy to preserve it until now.

You can ride a horse up to experience it, and then walk down.

Due to time constraints, I didn't get to go inside Yongbulakang, so I could only walk around it. However, standing on the top of the mountain and looking at the scenery below was still nice.
