Jilonggou

Jilonggou

Jilonggou is located in Jilong County, Xigaze City, Tibet Autonomous Region. Strictly speaking, the length of Jilong ditch is 93 km - from zongga town to re Suo village, the base of which is Jilong port.

Jilonggou is located in the Jilong Zangbu area between Jilong county and Jilong port. It is the westernmost of the five gullies in Shigatse area. It is located at the foot of Xixiabangma peak and next to peigucuo. It means "comfortable village and happy village" in Tibetan.

Jilong port is the terminal point of national highway 216 (Xinjiang Tibet).

survey

Most of the county is located in the southern foot of the Himalayas. The county seat is called zongga town. 70 kilometers south of the county seat is Jilong Town, which is the core area of jilonggou. Without the uplift and obstruction of Mala mountain 20 kilometers away from the northern part of the county seat, the Himalayas will probably be completely "cut through" by jilonggou. Among the peaks of the Himalayas, the Mala mountain is not prominent in altitude, but it has become the starting point to the north of jilonggou. From then on, to the south, it is the subtropical region where the Indian Ocean warm and humid air is wandering; from then on, to the north, it is the alpine world of the Qinghai Tibet Plateau.

traffic

Today, it's much more convenient to go to jilonggou than in earlier years. Along the national highway 318, get off at the fork of the headquarters of Xixiabangma peak, walk 120 km in front of the corridor of Xixiabangma peak, and after crossing the Mala mountain, there is less than 20 km to zongga town. From here, you can walk 73 kilometers to Jilong Town, and then walk 23 kilometers to reach a village with only six families - rESUO village. Along the way, the altitude dropped rapidly from 4300 meters to 1800 meters. Looking south from the village of rezor, it is the border between China and Nepal.

Geography

Jilong gully is the westernmost of the five gullies in Shigatse area. From here to the west, the warm and humid air flow in the Indian Ocean becomes more and more scarce, and it is unable to advance along the valley. Therefore, it is not rare to go westward. However, warm and humid places like Jilong gully are missing. More than 40 million years ago, the change of the crust in this area was completed in the form of "tearing", and the Jilong gully was well developed in the fault. Among the "torn" mountains in the Himalayas, Jilong gully is a deep and long gully. The gully is basically straight, just like a huge plowshare passing in an instant along the north-south direction. The hillsides on both sides are piled up with its opened magmatic rocks, and its edge still keeps a sharp "blade". The curled bottom, sharp tangent and ferocious landform reveal the "expression of pain" of the mountain everywhere.

Jilong landform is very unique, located in the southwest of the Qinghai Tibet Plateau, separated by the Himalayan mountains into the south slope and the north slope, the terrain is high in the north and low in the south. The north slope belongs to the valley area of the upper reaches of the Yarlung Zangbo River, with an average altitude of 4800 meters. The mountain peak is relatively gentle, with open grassland, and the height difference is about 1000 meters.

The south slope belongs to a high mountain gorge, with an average altitude of more than 4000 meters. The peaks are relatively steep, with an altitude difference of about 3000 meters. Many peaks are above 6000 meters above sea level, with snow all the year round.

The biggest feeling of Jilong Valley is that it is amazing that the magic of creation can make the four seasons exist in such a narrow valley. The valley is full of trees and flowers. Yesongangshou cloud sky, graceful; long leaf spruce trunk straight, twigs soft as weeping willow. The quiet village is surrounded by green trees, not far away can clearly see the looming snow mountain.

This is an undeveloped virgin land. The original natural ecology is well preserved. Entering Jilong is like coming to a paradise. The snow mountains, glaciers, grasslands and lakes here can take away people's souls and make people feel like immortals in the wonderland of transcendence. I forget everything.

history

Jilonggou: the Small Valley contains half of the history of Tibet.

In 633 A.D., Princess Chizun of Nepal went to Tibet via Jilong when she married Zanpu Songzanganbu of Tubo. In 655 ad, when Wang xuance, a famous diplomatic envoy of the Tang Dynasty, was sent to India for the second time, aranashun, king of dynavodi (today's tirut in the northern state of Bihar), refused the entry of Tang envoys. Wang xuance borrowed troops from Tubo to pacify aranashun's rebellion and returned from India via Jilong. In 789 ad, Jilong was the main way for Tibet to communicate and trade with Nepal.

At the beginning of the 11th century, weisede, the son of Baide, was invited by the people of Gongtang to build a palace in Tuolie, which was located at the upper part of Pingba. He called himself king and established a powerful Gongtang Dynasty. In the middle of the 13th century, zunbad, the ninth generation king of Gongtang Dynasty, married nimaval, the younger sister of basipa, king of Sakya, and established a political marriage relationship with Sakya Dynasty, which further consolidated the power of Gongtang Dynasty. In 1620, the army of the second division of zangbahan attacked and occupied the Gongtang Dynasty. The 23rd generation king of the Gongtang Dynasty, solang wangjiude, was captured to xiegar in laduluo (today's Dingri), and died the next year. Since then, the Gongtang Dynasty, which had been in Jilong for more than 600 years, has been destroyed. 1788-1792: the Gurkha army invaded Tibet twice. On April 25, 1792, general fukang'an of the Qing Dynasty led 6000 Qing troops from Razi to fight against Gurkha soldiers in ronghar and Nyalam. On July 8 of the same year, King Gurkha surrendered, and fukang'an negotiated peace with Gurkha. Through negotiation, he set up boundary posts at the head of jilongre Suo bridge, marking the position of the border line for the first time by official behavior.

Jilong port was approved to open in 1961. In 1972, it was approved as a national class II land trade port. In 1987, it was approved as a national first class land port.

In recent years, in order to ease the pressure of customs clearance at Zhangmu port and further develop Tibet's foreign trade, the state plans to use and develop Jilong port. The "re Suo" road leading to Nepal's border is basically open to traffic. The state has also invested nearly 100 million yuan to build a highway to Jilong port for Nepal.

An important part of the Qing war in the film "minister in Tibet" took place here.

scenery

The biggest feeling of Jilong Valley is that it is amazing that the magic of creation can make the four seasons exist in such a narrow valley. The valley is full of trees and flowers. Yesongangshou cloud sky, graceful; long leaf spruce trunk straight, twigs soft as weeping willow. The quiet village is surrounded by green trees, not far away can clearly see the looming snow mountain. It is clear because the snow mountain stands there; it is invisible because the snow mountain is shrouded in smoke. People who have been to Jilong praise Jilong as a paradise and a fairyland. No wonder they say Jilong is the back garden of Mount Everest.

Looking forward

Governments at all levels are concentrating all efforts to build jilongre Suo port into the largest road trade port leading to South Asia. The Tongxian oil road connecting National Highway 318 and Jilong county is under construction. The Jilong port kilometer project has been approved. The Sala road directly leading to Kathmandu aided by China is about to be completed. A green channel for trading ports is about to be completed. The construction of port trade zone and functional zone has been started in an all-round way. Jilong has entered a spring of open development.

Lesuo, a small mountain village at the forefront of Jilong's open development, will attract more attention and yearning of the world with its special geographical location and historical role, unique natural scenery and folk customs.
