A grass valley west of Dartsedo, called Minyak Rabgang in later Tibetan histories (recalled).
The temple of Lhagang is told in tradition to go back to the Tibetan Empire and is a Sakya house in later centuries (recalled, not read); nothing is dated for 1200. We mark the place because the Minyak country is the remnant of the Tangut homeland (Wikipedia, Tangut people).
