Scenic spot introduction:

Qamdo Mount Dora It is a holy place for Tibetan Buddhists to circumambulate the mountain. Tibetan Buddhism attaches great importance to the worship of sacred mountains. In their view, almost every high mountain has a mountain god. These mountain gods can be both good and evil, but no matter good or evil, people must pray for their blessings to obtain peace and happiness in life. Mount Dora The reason why it is famous in Tibet is mainly because many rocks on the mountain are engraved with the six-character mantra, scriptures and Buddha statues. The scale of these stone carvings and the depth of the artistic attainments of calligraphy and painting are very rare on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. In addition, due to the long history, the weathering phenomenon is extremely serious due to the wind and rain over the years, so the marks of artificial carving have long been lost, which makes many people believe that these Buddha statues and the six-character mantra are naturally formed. Mount Dora Located on the Sichuan-Tibet Highway, 63 kilometers east of Baima Town, Basu County, it has extremely convenient transportation.
