Mount Zhuburi

Mount Zhuburi
  Located within Dingri County, Shigatse, it stands at an altitude of 5,500 meters and is also known as the Flying Peak. Legend has it that the mountain flew over from India and was later pinned down by two wooden stakes driven into it by Shakyamuni. The mountain features the ruins of a grand palace complex, including tall enclosing walls, an arched mountain gate, a central palace, temples, and watchtowers.

  There are 108 temples, 108 meditation platforms, 108 springs, and 108 caves on the mountain. Locals regard Mount Zhuburi as a sacred mountain and perform circumambulations and worship rituals around it annually to pray for blessings. Scientific studies have identified a large number of insect fossils on the mountain, giving it significant scientific research value.
