Gangrenboqi is located on the west of Tibet. It earned the reputation of the third highest point in the world because its average elevation is above 4,500 meters. Gangrenboqi Sacred Mountain (elevation of 6,656 meters) was labeled as the first sacred mountain by Tibetan nationality. Gangrenboqi Mountain peak is often surrounded by white cloud and is very difficult to get a glimpse of its true looks.

The peak is covered with snow all year round. The vision and mind power is shocking when you ascend the peak. The distribution of the four walls of the peak is in bright symmetry and the round crown resembling pyramid. To date, it is still an unconquered mountain. Gangrenboqi is perceived as the Sacred Mountain by most people.

At the same time, it was perceived as the centre of the world by Hindu, Tibetan Buddhism, Tibet primary religion Ben and Gumaona Buddhism. Gangrenboqi's meaning is "Sacred Mountain" in Tibetan and 'Hindu Lord's Heaven" in Sanskrit. It was also the origin of Ben Buddhism.
