One of the three major holy lakes is beautiful, and there are several observation decks that can be photographed. So I don't understand why I need to charge tickets, this is a little less. You can take photos with lambs, Tibetan yak, etc. around the photo, this is good.
The scenery is very beautiful and worth visiting. We are driving by ourselves. Parking on the first and second landscape platforms is charged (there is free to buy tickets), and other parking lots are not charged. If you don't buy tickets, you can drive in and play by yourself.
I went to four major attractions in Tibet. Yanghu is currently ranked first. The weather is also good. It is super beautiful. I feel better than the shot. It is high. It has been the third day in Tibet. The head that didn’t hurt is starting to hurt again... Be sure to buy tickets, so that you can see the holy lake in the highest viewing attractions. It is still relatively original. Ecological, water, very clean, I really want to have a tea room sitting in it to see Yanghu, but unfortunately there is no, I heard from the master that on the one hand, the altitude is high on the other hand, the holy lake is not too commercial, the bathroom is not clean, or I hope to be valued, After all, it is the holy lake that does not leave a bad impression on the scenic spot.
Lhasa drives all the way to Yangzhuo Runcuo, and it can be reached in an hour and a half. The sky is very blue, the lake is very blue, plus the blue ice on the lakeside, the ceiling of the tour, people forget the high reaction, and the hardships of the mouth.
When I went there, I caught up with the heavy snow and couldn’t see anything. I just punched in the observation deck. I hope I have the opportunity to see the face of the holy lake again.
