Mikaju Temple, the earthly branch of heaven, was built in 1570.

Kaju Temple: The Earthly Branch of Heaven Mikaju Temple, built in 1570 AD, is located on the top of a misty mountain in the south of the mountain, 4,019 meters above sea level. From a distance, Kaju Temple looks like a castle in the air. On the other side of the mountain is Bhutan. When the weather is good, you can clearly see the snow-capped mountains of Bhutan opposite. It is a Buddhist temple with a long history. Kagyu Monastery is one of the main monasteries of the Gelugpa sect of Tibetan Buddhism and one of the most important monasteries in Tibet. The temple has magnificent architecture and beautiful natural environment, and is known as the "No. 1 Temple in Southern Tibet" Transportation: It takes about 1.5 hours to drive from Lhoza County to Kajiu Temple. The entire journey is cement road, and the road condition is good. You can also live in Lakang Town. Here, you can choose two hiking routes starting from Kaju Temple: one is to circumambulate the mountain, which takes about half a day; the other is to go around the Three-Colored Lake, which takes about a day. You can circumambulate the mountain by following the crowd, but circumambulating the Three-Colored Lake requires a special guide and good physical strength. The guide can ask around the starting point, but tickets to the scenic area depend on luck, as maybe no one will collect the money. Four-day itinerary 1. Lhasa to Yamdrok Lake (one of the three sacred lakes in Tibet
