Features: The legendary clear and sacred Tibet, beyond mystery, what else? Beyond religion, what else? Beyond the longing of travelers, what else? Beyond the amazement of adventurers, what else? Wen Pulin, with a decade of travel life, tells us – the daily life like water, is the essence of Tibetan culture. The majestic Qingpu lies there, calm and serene, with the Yarlung Tsangpo River stretching across the horizon. Religion to them is like breathing, natural and effortless. Qingpu Mountain is not a famous and renowned mountain, but in the hearts of all Tibetans, its status is, with countless Tibetans coming here every year for rigorous spiritual practice. The author shares in the book his and his companions' experiences of climbing Qingpu Mountain four times. It showcases how the Tibetan people seamlessly integrate their religious beliefs into their lives and existence, and also reveals the immense spiritual charm of this way of life. The book is interspersed with over a hundred vivid photographs, documenting the real-life situations of some practitioners in the Qingpu area, providing readers with a deeper and more multifaceted understanding of the beliefs and ascetic practices of people in Tibet.
