A sight you have to see to believe! 🌍

This lake is one of the prettiest I’ve seen in my life and is regarded by some as the most beautiful lake in the world. Yamdrok Lake is located near Shigatse in the Tibet Autonoumous Region. It stretches 130km in length and is also known as the green jade lake for its smooth surface and color hues from the reflection of the sunlight. If you are living in China, you can travel to Tibet with a tour company! We used JoyTours and they were wonderful. #travellater #explore #campingglamping #beautiful #bucketlist #summervacation #wintergetaway #tibet #yamdroklake #stunningview

The Covenant of Blue Ice | The First Mysterious Sheep Herding Festival of Pumoyong Tso

| The First Mysterious Sheep Herding Festival of Pumoyong Tso. Focus on the millennium folk customs, looking for the most beautiful blue ice! I believe that anyone who has seen the documentary 'The Third Pole' will not be unfamiliar with the Sheep Herding Festival of Pumoyong Tso. ㊙️On the east bank of Pumoyong Tso, there is a 'highest administrative village in the world'--Tuiwa Village (altitude 5070) Because of the high altitude, the local villagers are mainly pastoral. Due to the cold winter and high altitude, the original grassland can no longer provide enough food for the sheep, but there is a rich grassland on the island in the heart of Pumoyong Tso, so every February, when Pumoyong Tso is frozen, the villagers will drive the sheep to the island. Wait until the next year before Pumoyong Tso is thawed, and then drive the sheep back to the village. This pastoral method has been continued for a thousand years. Sheep Herding Festival: February 1, 2024 Address: Next to Tuiwa Village, Pumoyong Tso ⚠️Precautions: 1️⃣You need to apply for a border defense certificate to go to Pumoyong Tso 2️⃣The ice surface is very slippery, remember to bring ice claws 3️⃣The ice surface reflects strong ultraviolet rays, remember to do sun protection 4️⃣The temperature of the ice surface gradually decreases, you can stick some warm baby on the sole of your shoes and body

I love so much the divine scenery I saw

Sayram Lake, known as the 'Baikal Lake of China', is a dazzling gem of Tibet. Every winter, the lake freezes into ice, presenting a stunning blue ice spectacle, which would be a great pity to miss. Nature seems to favor this lake especially, the frozen lake surface blooms with dazzling blue light, the light and shadow change layer by layer, reflected in the ice surface, the texture on the ice surface is crisscrossed, as if the craftsman cut this dazzling sapphire with unparalleled craftsmanship, every angle is breathtakingly beautiful. Admission is free all year round, the altitude is 5010 meters, the best viewing season is from December to February each year, the entire lake surface will freeze into thick ice, you can walk directly on the ice surface, if the weather is good, you can see blue ice, green ice, the cracks and bubbles in the ice are clearly visible. Tips: 1. Border pass: Because Pumoyongtso is located in the border county, you need to apply for the Tibet border pass in advance, and the border pass specifies . 2. In February each year, when the ice layer is thickest, the annual migration of the Duiwa village sheep flock will be staged, which is very shocking. 3. Pumoyongtso's location is relatively remote, it is recommended to find a reliable local group to go, safety first. 4. It is recommended to bring a hat, scarf, gloves, sunglasses, be sure to keep warm.
