Motuo stone pot

It is produced in Motuo County, Tibet. Motuo County is the last county that flows through China before the Yarlung Zangbo River enters India. It is also the most remote county in Southeast Tibet, and it is also a county with no roads in China. Due to the bad environment and frequent disasters of Yarlung Zangbo River Grand Canyon, it is difficult for people to cross the barrier and gap, which makes Motuo become an "isolated island" on the plateau and a "paradise" far away from modern society. It is also known as a mysterious place by the outside world, and is called "Baiyu baimagang" by Buddhists, which means "secret lotus Holy Land". place of origin: Pangxin Township, Motuo County (108km from Bomi county to Motuo County, walking 32km) is the famous place of origin of Motuo stone pot. The local people will come from Namjagbarwa (Namjagbarwa, 7782m above sea level, located in the inner side of Yajiang Grand Canyon, is the 15th highest peak in the world). Namjagbarwa, in Tibetan, means "snow burning like fire", also means "spear piercing the sky". The "soap stone" on the cliff is carved into a pot with primitive knives. efficacy: the production and transportation of Motuo stone pot is extremely difficult. The stone pot has good heat preservation effect and contains all kinds of trace elements necessary for human body. The local people use this pot to stew native chicken and all kinds of mountain and wild flavor food, which are rich in nutrition and fragrant. sales: due to the difficulties in production and transportation, it's a great honor to get an authentic Motuo stone pot. They are sold in Lhasa City, Linzhi Prefecture, Bomi county and scenic spots along the line, but most of them are fake. The authentic Motuo stone pot is sold by the County Finance Bureau entrusted by Pangxin township government. I was fortunate to have it when I was on a business trip in Motuo from September 4 to 18, 2007.
