What does Regong mean?

Regong means Regong ("Golden Valley" in Tibetan) on the banks of the Longwu River in Tongren City, Huangnan Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Qinghai Province. And it developed with the prosperity of Longwu Temple.

This art genre can be found in Tibetan and Tu villages such as Wutun, Nianduhu, Guomari, and Gashari in the Regong area. For hundreds of years, nine out of ten men in the village have inherited it. The Buddhist painting and sculpture art that was introduced from religious temples to the people is astonishing due to the large number of artists and the exquisite skills of the group. Therefore, it is known as the "hometown of painting".

Regong area is famous for nurturing and giving birth to the great "Regong Art". However, what washes out and nourishes this magical land is the unknown Longwu River flowing deep in the mountains and canyons of southern Qinghai. It is one of the tributaries of the Yellow River. It originates from the Ruoqia Mountain District, Duohemao Township, Zeku County, Huangnan Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Qinghai. It has a total length of 144.3 kilometers and a drainage area of ??4934 square kilometers.

Today's Golden Valley is marching on the journey of rural revitalization with its rich and splendid traditional cultural industries.

Must-visit attractions in Qinghai

The air near Qinghai Lake is very fresh, the lake is beautiful, the rapeseed flowers are beautiful, and the lake water is very clear. I have collected and compiled the must-see tourist attractions in Qinghai for everyone. I hope it will be helpful to everyone.

Qinghai Lake

The largest saltwater lake in China and a holy lake in Tibetan Buddhism, Qinghai Lake plays an important role in Tibetan areas that cannot be ignored. In addition to the annual race around the lake and rapeseed flowers, Qinghai Lake in different seasons shows its unique beauty to the world. There are many people who worship around the lake here, and they express their admiration for Qinghai Lake in their own way. People say that Qinghai Lake is like a girl with many worries. It always tells her story in different colors of blue.

Kumbum Monastery

The origin of Kumbum Monastery is very special, because this place was once the birthplace of Master Tsongkhapa, the founder of the Gelug Sect of Yellow Sect. Therefore, this temple has also become one of the six major temples of the Yellow Sect of Tibetan Buddhism. Through its splendid shell, you can also feel the rich accumulation of history and religious art. Not only tourists come and go here, but also many simple local Tibetans come to worship day and night.

Qilian

Qilian is known as the "Little Switzerland of the East". Forests, canyons, streams, grasslands and snow-capped mountains are the highlights of the Qilian Mountains. Villages are located on the pastures at the foot of the Qilian Mountains. As we drove deep into the hinterland of the Qilian Mountains, the villages in front of us were waiting for us quietly at the foot of the mountains. The blue sky, snow-capped mountains, villages, and rivers were so harmoniously combined. Living at the foot of the Qilian Mountains and experiencing this exotic customs, time seems to be frozen here.

Yushu

An earthquake brought devastating damage to Yushu, but this cannot conceal its beauty. After reconstruction, the ancient town of Jie will be presented to the world with a new look. The most exciting scenery in Yushu is Nangqian. There are 108 temples scattered among the mountains, the Grand Canyon, and the rushing rivers. Many of them are famous throughout the Tibetan area.

Nianbao Yuze

Nianbao Yuze National Geopark is located in Suohurima Township, Jiuzhi County, Goluo Prefecture, Qinghai Province. It consists of two scenic spots: Fairy Lake and Rigancuo. . Here, mountain climbing, hiking across the lake, and lake tours are all very classic outdoor activities. Every year from June to August, the grassland flowers are in full bloom, which is intoxicatingly beautiful. In front of you is a magnificent and mysterious peak. Its majesty is breathtaking, and its rich colors, supported by clouds and light, are comparable to a perfect painting.

Animaqing Snow Mountain

Animaqing Snow Mountain is an ancient mountain range located near Dawu Town, Goluo Prefecture. It exudes a mysterious and unconquerable temperament. She is the head of the mountains in Qinghai, one of the four sacred mountains in Tibetan areas, and the largest mountain deity in this area. On the gravel road from Xia Dawu to Snow Mountain, there is the best viewing platform. From there, you can see the main peak of Animaqing, as if you can reach out and touch it. Here, you will often meet people walking around the mountain, some are tourists, and more are locals. Together with this majestic snow mountain, they create the most unforgettable picture of Golok.

Sanjiangyuan Niutou Monument

What we are exploring is the vast Sanjiangyuan area, which is mainly distributed among the high mountains. In fact, few people have actually reached the source of these three rivers. There are Eling Lake and Zhaling Lake here. The Niutou Monument between the two lakes is an excellent place to settle down if you "come here for a visit". When you stand on the top of the mountain, you feel like you are sitting on the entire mountain and river. Rivers of different sizes shuttle through beautiful and dangerous canyons, forming a huge water system network. Quiet temples are built among these mountains and rivers.

Thangka Art in Regong, Huangnan

The spread of Thangka in Regong originated from the construction period of Longwu Temple. It is a kind of art framed with colorful satin fabrics. Scroll paintings mainly depict Buddha statues and content related to Tibetan Buddhism, as well as various Tibetan auspicious patterns. Wandering in Tibetan Buddhist temples, you can see colorful and different styles of thangka works. The ancient thangkas are the treasures of the temple. , religious art represented by thangka has now become a cultural symbol of Huangnan.

Kambula National Park

Kambula Park is composed of two parts. The first part is the mountains and forests of Danxia landform, and the second part is the Lijiaxia Reservoir at the foot of the mountains. In Qinghai, it is difficult to find a place that combines mountains and water so perfectly. It has unique Danxia landforms, rich vegetation, a long-standing Tibetan Buddhist atmosphere and folk customs. Here, no scenery is wasted and every moment is worth staying.
