新寨嘉那嘛呢石经城 was built in 1715. It was founded by the first Gyanak Songchö Palden of Jiegu Monastery, which is why it is also known as the "Gyanak Mani Pile."Mani pilesare called "Doboong" in Tibetan, meaning "100,000 scripture stones." To the south isXinzhai Monastery, and the other sides are walled with Mani stones, with prayer flags hanging high on the walls. Over more than 300 years of accumulation, it is said that there were once 2.5 billion Mani stones of various kinds. These scripture stones vary in size and shape, with some as large as a tabletop and others as small as an egg. They are all engraved with Buddhist images, most commonly the Tibetan six-syllable mantra. Especially precious are the tens of thousands of exquisite Mani stones engraved with laws, calendars, art treatises, and various Buddhist images. Some have entire sets of Buddhist scriptures carved onto many stones, even including the back and front covers, forming sets of "scripture books." To the east of theMani pileare eight white pagodas and a huge prayer wheel. The other side is almost entirely covered with Mani stones carved with Buddhist images, featuring exquisite craftsmanship and harmonious color combinations. Many stone carvers live in Xinzhai. At the foot of this Mani city, they carve devoutly to accumulate merit for themselves and pray for all sentient beings, accompanied by the clinking sound of stone carving and the six-syllable mantra chanted from their mouths.

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 flew to Yushu Station and went to the Mani Stone Pile, also known as the Jianamani Stone Scripture City, the next day. The two places are together. When I looked at the map, I thought they were different places. The Mani Stone Pile was built to commemorate the religious culture left by the Yushu earthquake. All of them are made up of Tibetan stone carvings of the six-character mantra. The whole scene is quite shocking. Here, people are materially poor, but spiritually rich. The power of faith is admirable.

1. The temple's architectural style is magnificent and unique. 2. It's also a Buddhist academy. Children who study here are destined to develop higher-dimensional wisdom. Many parents in Tibet feel that raising their children to become monks is a waste of their education, which is truly a lack of wisdom. 3. Luxurious and solemn.

The valley is full of green mountains and clear waters. Princess Wencheng passed through here when she entered Tibet. It is the real Tang-Tibet Ancient Road and also the Tea-Horse Ancient Road. The rock walls and stones on the mountains and streams in the valley are basically engraved with the six-character mantra and scriptures. The ones on the mountains are called Shan Mani, and the ones in the water are called Shui Mani. There are also a large number of Leba Valley cliff carvings and rock paintings here, which are more than 1,300 years old.

Tongtian River, a very familiar name, is located in Hoh Xil. The impression of Tongtian River in my mind is still the Tongtian River in Journey to the West. Now I am fortunate to come to and cross the Tongtian River by driving along the Qinghai-Tibet Line. The scenery is very beautiful.

The Tang-Tibet Ancient Road is a very famous transportation avenue in ancient Chinese history. It is also the only way for people from the Central Plains to go to Qinghai, Tibet, Nepal, India and other countries since the Tang Dynasty. The Tang-Tibet Ancient Road starts from Xi'an (Chang'an) in Shaanxi Province, passes through Gansu and Qinghai, and ends in Lhasa (Lhasa) in Tibet. It is more than 3,000 kilometers long. The entire ancient road runs across western China, across the world-famous Roof of the World, and connects my country's friendly neighbors in the southwest, so it is also known as the Southern Silk Road.
