What is a place in Asia known as the "Country on the Mountain Top"?

Sikkim - the mountaintop country Sikkim is a forgotten country, because today in the 21st century, there is no direct flight to its capital, not even a direct train, and the same is true for long-distance buses. , so this country is mysterious to us in the 21st century. Gangtodor, the capital of Sikkim, is a capital with only three streets and is also the smaller capital of its small country. Here you will find the crowds mainly on these three streets, Tibet Road (Tibet Road), which is full of restaurants and hotels. There are also Lal Market Road, which is full of shops, and MG Marg, where small coffee shops and shops are concentrated. On these three roads, even if you stop and go without stopping, it only takes half a day. This is a place where you can't buy anything even if you have money. There are no fashionable clothes, no brand-name cosmetics, and even ordinary necessities may not be available. Moreover, the living conditions of local residents can be understood from the local people’s diet, which is simple to a bit primitive. Here you can eat steamed buns, which are called dumplings in China, as well as general fried noodles with soup noodles, which have the characteristics of northern China and Tibet. From the food, it can be seen that Sikkim has a profound influence on Chinese food, and the local residents look very much like Han Chinese. There are the famous mythical Changgu Lake and Kanggan Zongjia Peak. Changgu Lake is only 37 kilometers away from Gangtuo. Sikkim is surrounded by mountainous areas, so it is called a country with no mountain tops, and it is very close to China’s Tibet border. , if you want to travel, you must have a special visa here to visit the lake.
