Zhaxi Peninsula

On August 26, 2011, in China Attractions, Cool Places, Nature Scenery, Tibet, by Jack Li

In the legend of Buddhists, the five isles standing in Nam Lake is the incarnation of Five Dhyani Buddhas. All of those people who go to burn joss sticks piously prostrate themselves in worship. The biggest isle Liangduo Isle covers an area of 1.2 square kilometers. However, Zhaxi Isle ranks the first as a tourism sight in these five isles protrude into water area from different positions.

There are jagged rocks of grotesque shapes and pervasive hoodoos on Zhaxi Peninsula; the landform is bizarre with natural intelligent design. Stelae and bizarre fung sheks stand in great numbers on the isle, some look like pine and cypress, some look like elephant trunk and some are like humans, standing in different poses and with different expressions, as natural as though it were living. In addition, there are many sequestered caverns on the isle, some are long and narrow as underpass, some have round entrances but shallow cavern, some subside and form natural clearstory and some caverns are abound in stalactite.

The amazing scenery of Zhaxi Peninsula makes it a must-see place when visit Nam Lake. Wandering about from Zhaxi Peninsula, your visual field will be particularly wide in the front several kilometers, where flocks and herds are in large numbers and the scenery is amazing. However, the road is quite rugged and passes by over ten lakes. Passing by the mouth of Galamu Mountain, you can see a lot of sutra streamers and mound of lama. You can see very magnificent cow dung walls in Bali Village. Going along the lake shoreline, after passing by Deqing County, you can reach Duoqia Temple.
