Introduction to Tiansheng Bridge: Tiansheng Bridge has long been interpreted as a mysterious and beautiful place in the hearts of Shangri-La people. In Tibetan, Tiansheng Bridge is called "Bai Qiong Nao Neck", and in Chinese it can be translated as "The Overpass where Lotus and Peanuts Walk". It is said that after Padmasambhava was invited to Tibet, he translated Buddhist scriptures and promoted Buddhism. He often visited various places for inspections. When he arrived at the Shuodogang River, it was midsummer, and the swollen river blocked the way, so he had to live on the sacred mountain beside the river. The mountain god learned that Padmasambhava was blocked by water, so he used magic to move a huge stone from the mountain and built a bridge across the river. Padmasambhava crossed the river on this bridge. After crossing the bridge, Padmasambhava bathed and purified himself in the hot spring pool opened for him by the mountain gods. This legend makes Tiansheng Bridge full of Tibetan Buddhism unique to Tibetan areas, making people feel pious invisibly. The mountains surrounding Tiansheng Bridge are graceful and beautiful. It is said that the pool where Padmasambhava bathed is the geothermal hot spring near Tiansheng Bridge. Every Spring Festival, Tibetans come here to take a bath, which is said to wash away a year's worries.
Today, Tianshengqiao has been developed into a tourist attraction, with specially designed accommodation rooms, hot spring foam baths and bathing pools. If visitors come to Tianshengqiao in spring and summer, they can not only appreciate the rich historical and cultural charm of Tianshengqiao and the natural charm of hot springs, but also enjoy the unique landscape of the grassland in the vast mountains and rivers: the vast wilderness, Qionghuayao grass vying with each other. Groups of cattle and sheep rise and fall with the sea of grass, creating a scene like "the wind blows the grass and you can see the cattle and sheep low". Walking on the ridge of the bridge with deep horse hoof prints like a crouching dragon, a stone baggage fixed on the ancient tea horse road, like the salt tea baggage just unloaded by the horseman, is permanently lined up at the head of the Tiansheng Bridge. According to legend, this It is the gold and silver burden unloaded by "Songben Nongbu Rongmu". Next to the stone burden is a stone statue of the God of Wealth sitting on a huge stone, guarding the past, present and future of Tiansheng Bridge.
