Mila Mountain, Mountain pass at 5013 meters in Tibet, China
Mila Mountain marks the boundary between Lhasa and Nyingchi prefectures, featuring distinct climate patterns with dry conditions on the western slope and warmer temperatures eastward.
The mountain pass functioned as a vital trading route connecting different Tibetan regions, enabling the exchange of goods and supporting economic development across centuries.
The stone yak sculptures placed along the mountain pass reflect traditional Tibetan art and commemorate the historical role of yaks in mountain transportation.
The 2019 construction of a road tunnel through Mila Mountain improved accessibility and reduced travel time between Lhasa and Nyingchi regions.
Natural pastures at the mountain base support diverse wildlife populations, including roe deer, antelope, and bears, alongside Yunnan pine and birch forests.
