Who knows about the kingdom that disappeared overnight?

The Guge Kingdom Ruins in Burang County, Ngari Prefecture, Tibet, are 600 meters wide and 1,200 meters long, covering an area of 720,000 square meters. The mountain is over 300 meters high, with over 600 houses, pagodas, and caves, forming a large group of ancient buildings. The buildings are divided into three levels: the palace, the temple, and the houses. The well-preserved buildings include the temple and five halls. The temple contains remnants of clay Buddha statues and murals, as well as portraits of Tubo Zanpu and princes from various generations. The murals, clay sculptures, and carvings in the ruins are of great value. They are complete works left over from the Guge Kingdom. The Guge Kingdom Ruins are located at the end of National Highway 565. The entrance fee is CNY 65. The Guge Kingdom was a dynasty established by the descendants of the Tubo Kingdom in the Ngari region after the Tubo Kingdom collapsed. It was established in the 9th century AD. However, the establishment, prosperity, and maintenance of the Guge Kingdom for nearly a thousand years are all mysteries, including its regime, ethnic composition, and royal succession. The ruins only prove the existence of the Guge Kingdom, and everything else is still being explored and researched. Whether it is worth visiting here is subjective. You can only imagine its past glory. In such a high-altitude and remote place, it is a mystery how the dynasty was maintained. In short, it is a mysterious existence and a mysterious site.
