The Naimona'nyi Peak in Tibet is also
known as the Mountain of Goddess or the Fairy Peak in Tibetan. Religious
believers call the Manasarovar Lake between the two mountains as the Holy Lake.
It is said that the water in the lake is the sweet dew given by the Buddhist
ancestor Sakyamuni to the human beings. The Raksas Tal Lake beside the
Manasarovar Lake is called as the Ghost Lake, the paradise for people's souls
after their death. For several centuries, the region of the two mountains and
the two lakes are reputed as the Devine Mountain and Holy Lake by the pious
religious believers.
The Naimona'nyi Peak covers an area of about
200 square kilometers, mainly including 6 ridges. There are about several dozens
of hilltops with elevation of more the 6,000 meters on the ridgelines. The
western mountain ridges are distributed from north to south in the form of a
fan. The only mountain ridge in the eastern part is eroded into the shape of
knife-edge; its precipices with difference of 2,000 meters in height are very
cliffy, and five large glaciers full of ice cracks and steep cliffs on the
surface are within the canyon.
