🌟 Dana Monastery, at an altitude of 4,500 meters, is the world's most complete existing Gesar stupa monastery. "Dana Sengge Nanzong" means "Lion Fortress with Horse Ears," named after the mountain that resembles a lion and rocks that look like horse ears (top of image 3). Dana Monastery (image 3) was first built in the 3rd or 4th century AD as a Bon monastery, and was converted to the Yeba Kagyu sect during the Southern Song dynasty. It is the only Yeba Kagyu monastery among the eight sub-sects of the White Sect. The monastery houses the swords, armor, and clothes used by King Gesar and his generals. 🌟 Near Dana Monastery are the stupas of the 30 generals of the Kingdom of Ling in the Epic of King Gesar. The stupas are all in the Ganden style, the largest "group stupas" in the Tibetan style in the Qinghai-Tibet region. They are built in the late Tang dynasty Tibetan style and architectural art, and are listed as a national key cultural relic protection unit. The stupas are located halfway up the Ma'er Mountain, with steep and difficult roads and high altitude. You can only use a drone to capture the surrounding natural scenery, which is refreshing and pleasant. The streams at the foot of the mountain are clear, and wild animals play freely. The area maintains the oldest way of life, peaceful and serene.
