Tibet literature creation base launched at 6th Dalai Lama’s hometown
Over 40 writers and scholars arrived at Cona County in Shannan City, southwest China's Tibet Autonomous Region recently for the launch ceremony of the “Tibetan Literature Creation Base”, and held a seminar on poetry of the 6th Dalai Lama, Tsangyang Gyatso, who was born there.
The Cona County is close to China’s southwestern borders, and is one of the primary residences for the Menba ethnic people of Tibet. The dense forests and natural scenery there offer diverse cultural tourism resources, such as the Legpo valley scenic area.
