Zhagana tourist attractions

Zhagana is a natural wonder with peculiar terrain at the southern foot of Dieshan Mountain, which is located in Yiwa Township in the north of Diebu County. Zhagana, which means "in a stone box" in Tibetan, is a complete natural stone city, commonly known as the "Temple of the Dead". Its topography is not only like a large-scale giant palace, but also like a complete ancient city built of rocks.

due north is the bright, majestic and magnificent mountain peak covered by the main ridge of Dieshan Mountain, and the other three sides are surrounded by beautiful peaks and arches. The pines and cypresses are lush and green, like a tall, majestic and impenetrable wall, which surrounds the four villages and one temple in Zhagana, among which Dongwa Village and Sangla Temple happen to be located in the middle of Shicheng.

There is also an exit in the upper left corner of the city, which is a narrow stone channel formed by the rocky mountain fault. It runs from north to south, with a length of more than 1 meters and a width of only a few meters. On both sides of the stone gorge, there are vertical and straight rock walls, and a stream hangs down with a thunderous sound. This road is also a dangerous pass in Taodie Ancient Road. This is the "back door" of Shicheng. In the south of Shicheng, there is a "main entrance" formed by the confrontation of rocky mountains. Outside the door is a north-south Shili Canyon, just like the promenade outside the city. At the southern end, there are two symmetrical rock walls hundreds of times high, just like the magnificent front door composed of two giant piers, which is commonly known as the "ghost gate".

in the natural stone city of Zhagana, the land is flat, the grass is lush, the cottages face each other, and the sounds of chickens and dogs are heard, just like a scene of Taoyuan.
