Recently, the Cultural Heritage Administration of Xizang Autonomous Region conducted the fourth national census of cultural relics across the region. On the picturesque shore of Pumo Yumco Lake, a newly discovered rock art cluster dating back approximately a thousand years—the Tuiwaraila Rock Art Cluster—has been unveiled, with 423 rock paintings making a stunning appearance, depicting running deer, hunting humans, and vividly showcasing the life scenes of the ancient highland ancestors.
