It is a place with good scenery and climate. The reason why this place is regarded as a sacred place for self-cultivation and enlightenment. Jihu, Lianhuasheng and other eminent monks practiced here successively, leaving many holy relics.

At the end of the pre-expansion period of Tibetan Buddhism, many scriptures were buried here, and many excavators in the early post-explosion period excavated here.
