Source:xzxw.com 2026-08-12

Following the shoreline of Yamdrok Lake, you will soon come across the "City in the Sky" in the viewfinder. Rutok Temple in Tibetan means "stone on the mountain." This 14th‑century Sakya monastery perches alone at the tip of a peninsula, with water on three sides and only a stone path linking it to the land.
