Herdsmen drive cattle to the depths of the grassland, and shouts and melodious pastoral songs add infinite vitality to nature. Setting up tents on colorful grasslands or visiting herdsmen's homes, learning about rural life and feeling the charm of the plateau will definitely give tourists an indescribable sense of satisfaction.
Legend of Tagong
Tagong means the place that Bodhisattva likes. According to legend, it is about 64 1 year. In order to strengthen national unity and consolidate the frontier, Emperor Taizong betrothed Princess Wencheng to Songzan Gambu, the king of Tibet, and gave a 12-year-old siddhattha gotama (called Sleeping Buddha in Tibetan) to the princess and the king of Tibet. Just as the princess passed by, this reclining Buddha seemed to have taken root on the ground and could not move a step. Just when everyone was at a loss, the Buddha offered to stay here.
However, this Buddha statue has an unusual mission and must be sent to Lhasa. Princess Wencheng immediately decided to ask everyone to take Jinsha on the spot and copy a statue of the Buddha statue of Tagong. So Tagong is very famous in Kangqu. In Kangba area, it is often said that if there is no chance to make a pilgrimage to Lhasa, it is also the same merit to make a pilgrimage to Tagong Temple. Moreover, it is said that in the process of molding, the lower body is just formed on the same day, and the upper body is naturally generated overnight. When the new statue was completed, the original statue was able to leave smoothly and finally arrived in Lhasa, where it was enshrined in Jokhang Temple.
