Mount Kailash, located in Pulan County, Ngari Prefecture, Tibet Autonomous Region, China, is the main peak of the Gangdise Range at 6,656 meters above sea level. Its unique mountain shape is like a domed pyramid, the four walls are symmetrical, the summit is covered with snow all year round, and the year round is surrounded by white clouds, which appears mysterious and solemn. The mountain is not only a natural wonder, but also a sacred place revered by many religions, carrying profound cultural and religious significance.

### Natural features
Mount Kailash is famous for its unique landscape and natural environment. The mountain is surrounded by 28 modern glaciers, of which the Cirque Glacier and hanging Glacier are the most famous, providing abundant water for large rivers. Its southern slope has more glaciers than its Northern Slope, creating a magnificent snow and ice landscape. Kailash's high altitude and difficult terrain make it extremely difficult to climb, and no one has ever reached the summit. In addition, the biodiversity around the mountain is rich, and there are rare animals such as snow leopards and musk deer, as well as a variety of alpine plants, which have important ecological value.

### Religious significance
Kailash is considered a sacred site in several religions. In Tibetan Buddhism, it is the symbol of "Mount Meru", representing the center of the universe, and is the ashram of victory. Hinduism considers it to be the home of God Shiva and the axis of the world. The Benzoic religion considers it to be the center of the universe and the place where the patriarch Shinryumi came. Every year, tens of thousands of believers from Tibet, India, Nepal and other places come to make pilgrimages to perform rituals to pray for divine protection and spiritual purification.

### Cultural impact
Mount Kailash is not only a religious shrine, but also a symbol of cultural exchange. It gave birth to four important rivers - Maquan, Shiquan, Xiangquan, and Kongqi - which fed several civilizations in South Asia. In addition, Kailash has been widely depicted in literature, art, and film, such as the film Kailash, which shows the hardships of pilgrimage and the strength of faith.

In short, Mount Kailash has become a sacred place with its unique natural landscape and profound religious significance. It is not only the spiritual sustenance of believers, but also a symbol of harmonious coexistence between human beings and nature.
