The spirit of Shangri-La - Daocheng Three Sacred Mountains

The spirit of Shangri-La - Daocheng Three Sacred Mountains Daocheng Three Sacred Mountains, Tibetan for 'Gongga Rishengongbu' (Tibetan for 'three sacred mountains where snow never melts'), cover an area of over a thousand square kilometers. The main part consists of three separate but not far apart snow peaks arranged in a '品' shape. Yangmaiyong, Tibetan for 'Manjushri', is the southern peak of the 'Three Main' snow mountains, with an altitude of 5958 meters. It ranks first among the 'Three Main' snow mountains in Buddhism. Manjushri is the embodiment of wisdom in Buddhism. The snow peak is like Manjushri pointing directly at the sky with the wisdom in his hand. The ice crystal jade Yangmaiyong stands proudly between heaven and earth. Xian Nairi, the northern peak of the 'Three Main' snow mountains, ranks second in Buddhism and is the first of the three high peaks in the Aden Scenic Area. It is the fifth highest peak in Sichuan, with an altitude of 6032 meters. It is majestic and magnificent, with a sword-like peak piercing the sky. The peak name means 'Avalokitesvara'. It is surrounded by glacial peak forest landforms, glaciers and glacier relics and alpine lakes. The peak is 10 degrees north, facing the Big Dipper in the west. Both Buddhism and Taoism regard the Big Dipper as an auspicious star. Shanuo Duoji, meaning 'Vajrapani', is the eastern peak of the 'Three Main' snow mountains, with an altitude of 5958 meters. It ranks third in the 'Three Main Snow Mountains' in Buddhism. Shanuo Duoji stands between heaven and earth. In Buddhism, he is a god who eliminates violence and promotes goodness. He is brave and vigorous, with a colorful tiger skin under his feet and a big python of sin around his waist. Mr. Rock described it as a bat ready to fly with its wings spread out, comparing it to the thunder god in Greek mythology.
