Phwarxong Shan

Phwarxong Shan is the tallest and most famous mountain peak in Lxungion. It was first ascended on 19 February 1491 by Lxung musician Jap Jangke. It was later utilized as a strategic high point, most notably for the Sukdoi Rebellion in 1979.

During the socialist era in Lxungion, it and the surrounding area were used as a military base for the Lxung Red Army. Thun Jicnasjo used it as his military capital, and stayed there most of his time in power.

In 1979, it continued to be used as a base for the Lxung Armed Forces under the Independent Republic, as it is now. Consequently, it is off limits to the public.
