The Genie Mountain Range is like a fairyland

The Genie Mountain, also known as the Genie Sacred Mountain, stands proudly in the center of the Hengduan Mountains and is the highest peak of the Shaluli Mountains, known as the 'Heart of the Hengduan'. Its main peak is the Gangpo Sacred Land (Genie Peak), with an altitude of 6204 meters, making it the third highest peak in Sichuan. Genie Mountain is located within the territory of Litang County, Ganzi Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan Province, with rivers and deep valleys crisscrossing, and petal-like continuous snow mountains surrounding Genie Mountain. It features attractions such as the Eye of Genie, grasslands, marshes, waterfalls, high mountain rock streams, glaciers, snow peaks, and natural ecological systems, as well as cultural landscapes like folk culture and nomadic culture. Genie Mountain is part of the world's largest and most typical ancient ice cap relic, the 'Haizi Mountain ancient ice cap'. In Tibetan, Genie is called 'Gama Ribba'. She is the 13th goddess among the 24 sacred mountains of Tibetan Buddhism in China, and also one of the eight great mandala sacred lands of Vajravarahi. In Tibet, the sacred lands of Vajravarahi are only the Himalayas and Genie Sacred Mountain. It is said that more than 2900 years ago, Buddha Shakyamuni praised Genie Sacred Mountain as a supreme and pure land for meditation.
