Basum Co's Bailang Gully, the original unparalleled secret realm
If you only go to Basum Co, then you are wrong.
Basum Co has three secrets, Xin Co, Zhong Co, and Bailang Gully.
The winter Bailang Gully is quiet, original, artistic, and is a secret realm for real travelers.
Snow-capped mountains, streams, pastures, dead trees, primitive forests, wild sea buckthorns, and winter snow, everything is a visual feast of nature.
🚙Not far from Basum Co's Jieba Village to the direction of Xin Co, there is a junction with a sign, 👉right to Xin Co, 👈left to Bailang Gully. Just keep going along the left road.
🛣You will pass two steel frame bridges and a iron gate, a wooden gate, until the pasture gate in picture 12, you need to stop the car to untie the rope, and close the gate after the car enters.
🚗It is about 20 kilometers from Jieba Village, it takes an hour to drive, the road condition is particularly bad, undulating road + gravel road + rubble road, there are small sections of water crossing road, the road gets worse as you go in, it is recommended to go by SUV, it is a bit test of driving skills.
🏞The whole way is scenery, the focus is not on the end, but the end is indeed shocking.
🏂Keep going until the car can't go, about the position of picture 13, you need to walk on foot, cross the primitive forest, the traces of the road in the forest become lighter and lighter, walk for about 25 minutes, when you encounter a pile of stones you may not find the road , Walk to the left to find the traces of the road. Behind the pile of stones is the extremely shocking glacier and lake, picture 11.
It is best to bring some food when walking in, it is easy to consume physical strength.
🏝The choice of Bailang Gully and Xin Co:
The scenery of the two is similar, Bailang Gully is more primitive, without any development, the scenery is more abundant, the scenery at the end is more shocking, the road is harder to walk, but the walking distance is shorter. Xin Co has development, there are paid project tools to replace walking, the natural landscape is also very good, there will be more human elements, if you walk on your own, it will be a bit farther than Bailang Gully, the road condition is slightly better, the overall difficulty factor is smaller, and the time consumption is close. If the average person has limited time, you can choose one of the two.
📷Photography strategy:
I use Panasonic S5+20-60, 70-300 to shoot, use more telephoto, suggest to bring 35-50 focal length, 70-200 focal length.
🏜Time arrangement: We set off at 10 o'clock on December 10th, and arrived at Jieba Village at 5:20 in the afternoon. I stopped a lot on the way to take pictures, which is a very ample itinerary. If you don't make too many stops, it is recommended to arrange 5 hours for the whole journey.
Many people say that Basongcuo is not one of the three holy lakes, so it is not worth coming. But I would say that the fun of this lake is the best, you can take a boat, there are temples on the lake heart island. There are many entertainment projects in Xinyi. And the altitude is low, and the physical conditions allow us to have fun. All three sacred lakes do not have.
Basongcuo is worth a visit with this water color and this snow mountain. The lake is blue, but unfortunately there is too little time to stay. I played a lake island in two hours. It is recommended to arrange two days with plenty of time. It is too pleasant to be physically and mentally.
The sheep Zhuo Yucuo that I have seen has been thinking about; now I see Basongcuo, although beautiful, but not so amazing [happy], may still be preconceived relationship. The big premise of beautiful scenery must be the weather to force, the unpredictable god really can only see luck, Linzhi's weather forecast can not be referenced, every day will change many times 😂, good weather at the same time pay attention to sun protection. A certain journey has tickets + sightseeing car package 165/person, you can buy and use it on the same day, sightseeing car needs to change paper tickets with the QR code, tickets can scan the code or swipe the ID card to enter, and there are also people who see the self-driving scenic spot (self-driving car charges are not known). Sightseeing car 🚗 There are three stations in total, the first station is a far-flung viewing platform, and the original car returns; The second stop is the lake center island, the tour time is long, the island has thousands of ancient trees, white towers, gold barrels and temples, alpine rhododendrons have a small part in full bloom, clear lake water, there are live fish in the water, there are also cruise ships to visit (additional charges); The third station is a high observation deck, about 800 meters away from the lake center island, you can walk, you can also take a sightseeing bus (the sightseeing bus needs to wait for the departure, it may take some time), some steps after getting off the bus, not too high, 10 minutes can be done, the scenery is still good, It is worth a trip [smiling] Photo shooting time: 2024.5.4
If you have a variety of shooting methods, it can indeed enjoy the paradise-like feeling here, but if only limited to mobile phone shooting, it will be easy to monotonous. And here is more constrained by the weather, this time I have seen good luck, Xincuo really recommend to go, that is, the road is not very good haha.
Basongcuo, also known as Cuogao Lake, means "green water" in Tibetan, the lake is 3,480 meters above sea level, which is the lowest lake in Tibet. One of the largest fortress lakes in eastern Tibet, the Tibetan holy lake, the lake presents a different shade of emerald, and the surrounding mountains and forests constitute a beautiful picture.
There are a lot of people here, and the car in the scenic spot is still very convenient. The lake is beautiful and the scenic spot is pleasant. The weather on this day is very powerful. The snow-capped mountains in the distance are very clear. The lake is very blue and there are many fish.
