Alajia Gamoshan is located on the side of the Xijiu Highway, 10 kilometers east of Kecu Town, Gadê County. "Ga Jia" means Han man and Han woman. At an altitude of 4,438 meters, the mountain top has two large rocks. Legend has it that long ago, a Han couple came to this area to teach the locals how to weave yak wool fabric. Unfortunately, they died here and later turned into two rocks. The two rocks are 50 meters apart. Later, the Tibetan people named the mountain Alajia Gamoshan in memory of the couple.
