I remembered the name of Rikeze for about ten years. At that time, there was a popular song singing by Hanhong. The name of the song was Rikeze. I was attracted completely by the song. So I was looking forward to going this place.
Rikeze usually means the fertile manor in Tibetan language. It had been the grain store of Tibetan with 600-year history. It was positioned at the infall of the Yaluzangbu River and its tributary named Nianchu River.
In this Tibet tour, we improved lots of acknowledge about Tibetan tradition. In the course of the trip to Rikeze, the guide spoke many Tibetan traditions to us. She said the funeral tradition of Tibet included water burial, soil burial, celestial burial and cremation.  In that area, they would decide on water burial when teenagers died. The cremation was applied once the shamans died. Nearly all of common Tibetans select the celestial burial. The soil burial was just applied for dying from the evil folks died as well as the infectious diseases.
During the journey, I discovered a great variety of ladders had been painted on the cliffs. I was puzzled on the strange phenomenon and asked to the guide. She introduced to us in hurry. The ladders named sky ladder or lucky ladder. They had been painted by Tibetans. They could guide the souls of the deaths head into the heaven and also they could transfer the Tibetan to be lucky. During Tibet tour, we were sighing for the simple and mysterious Tibetan culture. Our journey went through the Gangbala Mountain which was 4990meter above the sea level, Yazhuoyongcuo Lake appearing facing us. In line with the manual, this lake was the greatest one within the north in the Himalaya Mountain.
Yangzhuoyongcuo seemed to be a scroll picture spreading facing us. The water of the lake was changing from green to blue. Sometime it looked like a young lady wearing the light veil inside the thin fog, while sometime it was a sleepy beauty wearing blue silks and satins amongst the green hills. Oh! Yangzhuoyongcuo was the holy virgin at the bottom of my heart. It was so perfect and attractive.
