"Ashuk is the birthplace of the famous King Gesar who lived in 11th century. King Gesar established large and powerful kingdom, streaching from here to the north in Amdo province. Lingtsam kingdom existed until the year 1959. Life story of King Gesar is considered to be the longest epic written in human history. Tibetans don’t consider Gesar to be a normal king; he is manifestation of Padmasambhava. Nowadays he is considered throughout China to be a national hero."http://www.flickr.com/photos/tibetupclose/22175205/
