Tibetan Wonders
The Magical Lazi Fountain
The development and prosperity of Lazi County in the
Rikaze region, Tibet, is greatly owed to the county's famous fountain.
The fountain, located 15 kilometers northeast of the county seat, has been
dubbed by locals as the "Golden West Fountain". The Lazi Fountain is very limpid
and bathers feel a strong sense of buoyancy in its waters. The fountain is also
known for having medicinal effects in treating a number of diseases that affect
the stomach, kidney, skin, and arthritis. Some say that people suffering from
ailments that cannot be cured in a hospital have benefited from Lazi
Fountain.
Drinking the spring water while bathing is also believed to help cure
disease.
