Zezhol Monastery

It is about 37 kilometers away from the county’s city center. The earliest history of 
the monastery may trace back to 2,000 or 3,000 years before present. A prominent master in Bon Religion had rebuilt the Zezhol Monastery in mid-fourteenth century AD. “Zezhol” in Tibetan means “Six Summits”. It aptly describes the majestic but dangerous scenery combining of towering peaks, odd rocks and mystic grottoes. Due to some complicated historical reasons, Bon, a religion that had once dominated Tibetan Plateau, gave way to Buddhism and it escaped to remote areas. This was in order to preserve the religion and its spiritual power.
