"The abundance of fish in the lakes of Tibet is a wonder to many visitors, who often question why the locals don't fish for food. The answer lies in the deep cultural and spiritual significance that these lakes hold for the Tibetan people. These lakes are considered sacred, and the fish within them are believed to be the reincarnation of other living beings. As a result, the people of Tibet refrain from fishing and instead, find other means to sustain themselves. This unique relationship between the people and their environment showcases the deep respect and connection that exists within Tibetan culture."
