The small county town by the Nujiang River, with a vast territory, the snow mountain scenery is unforgettable
Tibet has always been called a mystery by people, because there are many places where few people set foot hidden on that vast plateau, because of the sparse population, they have preserved their most natural appearance.
Biru County in Nagqu is hidden in the valley of the upper reaches of the Nujiang River, built along the river, with steep mountain scenery on both sides. There are too many worth visiting spots in this county town, the most famous of which is of course the skull wall of Damu Temple in the western suburbs. This is the living fossil of the local 'sky burial' culture, with skulls piled into walls, to be honest, it was a bit creepy when I first went.
Sapu Mountain is located in Biru. This sacred mountain was discovered by donkey friends a few years ago, which attracted many tourists to explore. I especially like the lake water and meadows under the Sapu snow mountain, which gives people a feeling of paradise. It is said that there are primitive forests in the southeast of Biru County, but this trip was too hurried to go. Every visit to Nagqu is a new exploration in life, and I believe the next encounter will bring me more surprises.

Every foot here should be careful, can't go away, although the slate is not big, it shines brightly, although it can't see the traces of the knife and axe, but here is the last chopping board of the corpse during the burial, so it is best It is to get around here, don't step on it.
The large and small gimmicks on the wall, most of the lower skull are gone, the fragile nasal bones are eroded, leaving only the hard skull and sporadic teeth.
Going out of the wall, rows of cockroaches still appear in front of me, silent for a long time, in fact, these have not made me afraid, life, the grass and the autumn, we will come to this world, will eventually return to the silence, Where do you come from, where to go...
