Piles of Mani stones (stone plates, rocks or pebbles, inscribed with the mantra of six syllabled -- oom mani padme hum) can be seen on the hillside. A prayer wheel plugged into a Mani pile rolls with the wind, as if a story about a worshiper's good wish were being told. (Photo Source: 51tibettour.com)

Renowned for its holy mountains and lakes such as Mt. Kangrinboqe and Lake Mapham Yutso., the county has attracted pilgrims from all over the country. (Photo Source: 51tibettour.com)
