Turuke rock paintings

The second rock painting is on the small scarp on the back of yangbeishi, with most of the patterns clearly visible. The main contents are animals such as horse, sheep, wolf, dog, deer and Snowcock. The largest one is the pattern of sika deer, with antlers upward and eyes overlooking the front. It looks leisurely and contented. This exquisite and beautiful rock painting is a true portrayal of nomadic life.
