There is a majestic building in the hinterland of Axu Grassland - Gesar Memorial Hall

This is a newly built memorial hall, and the old site is next door to the temple. There is a huge frog-shaped boulder between them.

Surrounding a courtyard wall, lived an old Tibetan man who was shirtless all year round and only wore a velvet Tibetan robe wrapped around his waist.

Open this mysterious door, and you will see the statue of King Gesar holding a gun, which is extraordinary.

In the entire hall, the walls are covered with exquisite portraits, telling the legendary experience of King Gesar in unifying the Ling Kingdom.

In Dege, artistic creations with the theme of Gesar have never been interrupted. In the 1980s, Khamba artists brought Gesar Tibetan opera to the stage for the first time. Because of its unique aesthetic value and appreciation value, Gesar Tibetan opera has gone abroad many times, which has effectively promoted the wide spread of the "Gesar" epic in the world. In 2009, the "Gesar" epic was successfully selected into the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity, becoming a common treasure for all mankind.

Axu Grassland Reminder:

1. The plateau area has a large temperature difference and prepare thick clothes. Because of the strong sunshine, prepare sunscreen, sunglasses and umbrellas. (The editor has a deep understanding of this point, a sudden snowstorm after clearing thousands of miles)

2. The accommodation conditions obviously cannot be compared with the standards of big cities, so you must be prepared.

3. At present, only students who drive by themselves can go, so it is a secret grassland that has not been "invaded" by the world.
