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 Starry Sky and the Milky Way in Tibe

One of the highlights of this trip is to take pictures of the starry sky and the Milky Way. We settled in the camping base by the YamdrokTso Lake the previous night. The accommodation conditions are very simple. There are male dormitories and female dormitories. Each dormitory has 5-6 people, just like the dormitory in school. Because the altitude is a bit high, and I was worried about getting up to see the stars at night, I hardly slept all night. At 4 am in the morning, the team leader called up and took pictures of the starry sky. Once step out the dormitory door, you could see the white Milky Way and the stars by eyes. IPhones can also take some photos with straight shots. But it's still inferior to a professional camera, adjust the shutter to 25 seconds, make a good post, keep it still, Kata, the blockbuster is coming! It's like walking in the universe. In addition to the beautiful scenery of YamdrokTso Lake, the Milky Way and starry sky cannot be missed. Really recommended! #summervacation

Tibet is a place of stunning beauty, and it's worth visiting even if you're traveling alone!

Today is the fifth day since I returned from Tibet, and I still can't calm down. I don't like making travel plans, so I didn't prepare any medicine for altitude sickness or warm clothes for the weather before I left. I saw that the itinerary sent by the tour leader included five or six hours of driving every day, and I get carsick, so I was already feeling overwhelmed before I even left. But this trip left me with an unprecedented sense of awe and wonder. 📍Destination Introduction Tibet is a mysterious and sacred land that attracts countless travelers with its magnificent mountains and rivers, unique culture, and strong religious atmosphere. It not only has magnificent natural scenery but also simple folk customs that make people linger. 📸Check-in Points Potala Palace: A magnificent palace that is a symbol of Tibet and a holy place in the hearts of countless travelers. Namtso Lake: The clear lake water and blue sky and white clouds complement each other, as if you are in a beautiful painting. 📚Attraction Guide Everest Base Camp: Prepare oxygen tanks and warm clothes in advance to experience the magnificence and shock of the plateau. Yamdrok Lake: The lake is as green as emerald, surrounded by mountains, and is an excellent place for taking photos. 🏨Accommodation Suggestions Choose a hotel room with an oxygen machine to ensure you can get enough rest during altitude sickness. It is also recommended to book in advance to avoid the situation of no rooms available. 🚗Route Recommendation Classic Route: Lhasa - Yamdrok Lake - Everest Base Camp - Namtso Lake - Lhasa. This route covers many famous attractions in Tibet and is suitable for travelers visiting Tibet for the first time. 🍴Special Food Tibetan Hot Pot: Unique flavors and rich ingredients that are unforgettable. Tsampa: A traditional Tibetan food with a unique taste that is worth trying. 🎒Travel Tips Respect local culture and customs, and do not take photos or disturb local residents at will. Pay attention to sun protection and warmth, as Tibet has strong ultraviolet rays and large temperature differences between day and night. 💰Money-saving Tips Book hotels and tickets in advance to enjoy certain discounts. When buying souvenirs locally, remember to compare prices to avoid being overcharged. 💡Tips Altitude Sickness Countermeasures: Do not take a bath or wash your hair for the first two days after arriving in Tibet. If you feel unwell, inhale oxygen and consult a doctor in time. Car Sickness Preparation: Prepare motion sickness medicine and comfortable seats to reduce discomfort during the journey. This trip to Tibet made me deeply appreciate the magnificence of nature and the insignificance of humans. I will cherish this memory and look forward to my next trip to Tibet.

The blue of Shannan is beautiful.

In the embrace of Tibet, the third pole of the world, Shannan has a blue kissed by the heavens, exuding a charming glow. Today, please follow in my footsteps into this blue world, to find the pure land of the soul, to explore the beautiful scenery of Yamdrok Lake (Figures 4-7) and Puma Yumco Lake (Figures 1-3). 🌊 Yamdrok Lake, also known as Yamdrok Tso, means "Swan Lake" in Tibetan. It lies quietly among the mountains, like a young woman wearing a veil, exuding a hazy and mysterious beauty. Standing by the lake, looking at the ever-changing blue lake, you can let go of all your worries, and your heart 💖 has already merged with nature. Puma Yumco Lake, on the other hand, is another dreamlike sight. It is located at the junction of Lhozhag County and Nagarzê County in Shannan, and is the only blue ice lake 🧊 in China that can be compared to Lake Baikal. In the cold winter, the lake is frozen, and walking on it is like being in a broken mirror of the sky, with every step echoing in your heart. 💫 Between the two lakes (Figures 8-9) is a bridge of the soul and a home for the soul. This road conquered my eyes with its beautiful scenery and touched my heart with its tranquility and mystery. Driving along, I found the long-lost peace and joy. This winter, go to Shannan, slow down, and feel the beauty of this blue world with your heart. Let your soul be nourished and sublimated in the embrace of nature, and let your life bloom with more brilliant colors on the journey. 🌟 📝 Practical tips: 📍 Location and transportation｜From Lhasa, whether you are going to Yamdrok Lake or Puma Yumco Lake, it is recommended to charter a car or carpool (self-driving is also recommended if you have good driving skills). The price of a direct bus from Lhasa to Yamdrok Lake starts from CNY 55. The two lakes are not far apart, so you can arrange your itinerary reasonably according to your time and physical condition. ✨ Some people think that the best time to visit Yamdrok Lake and Puma Yumco Lake is in the summer from June to August, when the green grass, blue sky, white clouds, snow-capped mountains, and lakes are in the same frame. I think the blue of Shannan is beautiful in summer and pure in winter. Traveling to Tibet in winter, transportation and accommodation are more cost-effective, and most attractions are free, so why not? ‼️ Finally, a reminder: the climate in Shannan is changeable, so remember to bring enough warm clothes 🧥 and necessary medicines 💊!

It is the closest place to the sky, and every inch of land is full of mysterious colors. 🎈[Attraction Recommendations] The Potala Palace, a majestic palace standing on the top of the Red Mountain, with red and white buildings shining in the sun, and precious cultural relics and magnificent Buddhist halls inside, all tell the vicissitudes of history. Jokhang Temple is a pilgrimage site for Tibetan Buddhists, with swirling incense and devout believers, making people feel the power of faith.

Tibetan noodles have a unique taste, and barley wine is also worth a try. 🧣[Precautions] Preventing altitude sickness is the key, so prepare anti-altitude sickness medicine in advance, and don't rush to take a bath or exercise vigorously when you first arrive in Tibet. Maintain a sense of awe and respect for local religious and cultural customs, so that you can better appreciate the beauty of Tibet.
