Standing at any position of Lenggu temple, you can see the main peak of gnie on the great bank when you look up. The extremely clear air makes the snow peak within reach, and the close gaze brings suffocating beauty. The genie mountain is gentle and Buddha like in shape. There are four arched peaks on the left and right sides of the main peak. The peaks on both sides are arranged in order, such as the stars holding the moon and the gods protecting the Buddha. On the snow capped mountain top all year round, the texture of the glacier is like a bride's wedding dress. At the bottom of the wedding dress are exposed rocks, and the sharp lines are in sharp contrast to the flowing texture of the glacier. Vegetation gradually appeared under the rocks, and gradually the mountain forest was full. At the foot of the mountain forest was a stream formed by glacier melt water Vegetation changes with altitude, so vivid.

In Lenggu temple, you can also see the magnificent scenery of Rizhao Jinshan: before dawn, the snow mountain is cold and mysterious. When the eastern sky is smeared by the morning glow, the snow mountain wakes up from sleep. In about 10 minutes, the snow covered mountain top shows the color changes from light green to light purple to bright yellow to golden yellow to orange red, and the expression of the holy mountain changes from cold to shy to warm At the end of the burning, it returns to tranquility. Every change between them is subtle and moving. It's the most charming moment of Shenshan. You can't understand it without seeing it.

2900 years ago, it is said that Sakyamuni once praised mount gnei as the holy land of pure meditation. Taking mount GNE as the center, surrounded by mountains, primeval forests, grasslands, lakes, hot springs, temples and Tibetan customs, it is a charming nature reserve. The scenic spot has the characteristics of God, wonder, masculinity and beauty. The main peak of gnie mountain is covered with snow all the year round. In the sunlight, the gold is shining. On a sunny day, you can see the towering view of the main peak from two to three hundred kilometers away. The hillside is decorated with primeval forest, with Feiquan waterfall pouring down. There are vast grassland and forest, as well as clear lakes. Musk deer, bear and other animals and rare pheasant such as Tibetan pheasant often haunt the forest, which is very wild.

"There is no word to describe this high mountain. Any traveler here can feel the mood of the Tibetan people and can't help calling it holy mountain..." In 1877, William gill, a foreign traveler, came to GNE to express his admiration.

"If I had ten thousand meters of white silk, I would wrap the gangpogongga." At the beginning of the last century, the fifth Jiamuyang practiced in the Daqing temple in gnei, expressing his love for this holy mountain.
