Lhasa city site selection

Gamagou is not too far from Jixue Wotang, and the fast horse is only less than a day's journey. In the evening, they arrived at their destination, and the monarch and his subjects camped at the foot of the red mountain. The next morning, the king of Tibet led several ministers to visit Wotang in person. He found that where Jinna Township is located today, Jiqu River is divided into two rivers, north and south, which flow freely in Ye Ping, turning many places into swamps and floodplains. He ordered his ministers to gather the surrounding soldiers and civilians, build dams and block the rivers in the north. The mainstream of Jiqu River flows along the southern hillside, making most of the northern part a dry and flat land, on which the later Lhasa City was built. He also found that both the Jixuewo Tangbazi and the ravines on the north and south sides are fertile fields and excellent pastures, so he ordered several nobles such as her family to move some slave owners here to reclaim land and graze cattle, sheep and horses. Now Niangniang Township in the northern suburb of Lhasa is the place where the aristocratic empress immigrated and settled. This name has been preserved since the time of Songzan Gambu.

After careful investigation, careful planning, water conservancy construction and resettlement by Tibetan monarchs and ministers, the construction of Lhasa city began to be vigorous.

Note: "pull" is the meaning of God; "Sa" means land. Lhasa: It means a place where there are gods and buddhas. It was named after Princess Wencheng brought a 12-year-old statue of Sakyamuni in 64 1 year. Before that, it was called Chicken Blood Wotang.
