I have just returned from a trip to Tibet and will tell you the truth...
The sisters want to travel to Tibet, but are troubled by online guides and complaints and have no way of starting. Although the guides are everywhere, I still feel confused😭, don’t worry🥳, I will help you with these, they are all niche routes, so hurry up and read this article slowly~

⚠️Tips for this trip: The attractions here are relatively scattered. If you are visiting for the ☝🏻 first time, you can find a local and reliable small group. This can save time and worry. It is also fun for everyone to go together~key It’s a fun experience without stepping on any traps~
❌Don’t sign up for low-priced tours 🙅🏻♂️, because this kind of tour spends most of the time in shopping malls, which not only fails to save money 💰, but will make visiting the scenic spots hurried! ! !

You can feed seagulls without going to Qinghai Lake: just at Bangong Co in Tibet
It really is that the higher the altitude, the more beautiful the scenery, and the closer to the sky, the more mysterious the place.
Upon arriving at Bangong Co, one discovers that there are also traces of seagulls on the high-altitude lakes over five thousand meters.
Migratory birds from Siberia will travel to Bangong Co, and then continue to migrate south to Qinghai Lake during the colder winter.
There are very few tourists here, allowing for the unobstructed photography of flying birds, and one can feed the seagulls with breadcrumbs.
Bangong Co spans across China and India, and in Tibetan means 'long-necked swan', located northwest of the town of Rutog in the Ali region. The lake surface is at an altitude of 4240 meters.
There are more than a dozen islands of varying sizes in the lake, with about 20 different species of birds on the islands, the number of which can reach tens of thousands at its peak, mainly including bar-headed geese, brown-headed gulls, fish gulls, crested ducks, and red-crested pochards, among which bar-headed geese and brown-headed gulls are the most numerous.

2023-10-20 Arrive at Bangong Lake at 8:30 in the morning. One side of Bangong Lake is China and the other side is India. There are many seagulls by the lake. You can chat and take photos with seagulls at close range. After noon, we will not take the new Tibet line, but continue to take the Ali middle line. In this way, we have basically walked the Ali middle line, south line and north line. We will pass through Geji County and Cuona Shiren Duo Township on the way.

📍Pangong Tso
Located at 4218m above sea level, this lake is the filming location of the most famous Indian movie, Seolgan.
It is where the main character of the movie, Rancho, spent the last time with his children.
The blue lake and mountain range are beautiful, and you can see countless stars at night.
Be careful because you may get altitude sickness in this highland area!

In fact, from Doma all the way, there is a long and long way to see the beauty of Bangong Lake. The blue lake is near, and the snow peaks are faintly visible in the distance. In fact, you should not be greedy for the scenery before sunset. Because the tunnel passed the observation deck of Bangong Lake, the front is the most beautiful wetland, the green and yellow water plants, the snow peaks of the mountains...
Unfortunately, the sky is already black. The beauty here is because the light is dark and I dont dare to stop it, so the most beautiful scenery is not only on the road! Because the road shooting has been delayed for a long time, the time on the speed limit list has already passed, this road is really running out of joy...
The missed checkpoint of the Japanese soil is in the Here, from the Bangong Lake, I actually saw the checkpoint of the Japanese soil, but we did not see someone on duty, and then it was very doubtful to open it. How did we still check the discussion? This is more assured that the speed limit bar is gone, what are you worried about? In fact, the best way to prevent sleep is to drive the car. The attention of the car is highly concentrated. Therefore, in the case where the road section is flat and can be safe, there are some roads in the road for occasional 170 or so... [must pay attention to safety]

Yes, the lake above is Bangong Lake, also known as the wrong wooden Angola red wave. The Tibetan language means long-necked swan. There is the world's tallest bird island in Shanghai, located at the junction of Ali and Kashmir. Bangong Lake is large and particularly large. The eastern and western sections of the lake are in China and the west end is in Kashmir. It is an international lake. The magic is that the lake in Bangong Lake is fresh water in China, but it is salt water in Kashmir.
Actually, there is a long and long way from Dorma. You can see the beautiful scenery of Bangong Lake. The blue lake is near, and the snow peaks are faintly visible in the distance. In fact, it should not be at sunset. Formerly eager for a moment of scenery, because the tunnel passed the observation deck of Bangong Lake, the front is the most beautiful wetland, the green and yellow water plants, the snow-capped peaks of the mountains...

Although Ali has a bad natural environment, it is a place where wild animals are free to grow. Alis class is surrounded by birds. He used to sit on the lake and watch the black-necked cranes vacate. They hovered over my head, and the wind from the wings slid over my face. What is the life knows, the world is a sand gull.
