    My first visit to Qilin Gorge was truly stunning! Upon entering the scenic area, the staff greeted us with warm smiles. They not only patiently explained the route but also reminded us of the best viewing times and photo spots. Their service was meticulous and attentive throughout the entire experience. Even more remarkable, there were no cookie-cutter commercial stalls; only pristine canyon scenery, with roaring waterfalls and shady trees. Every photo was a masterpiece. Tickets were reasonably priced, and the cafeteria was a delight – the stewed chicken with potatoes was tender and flavorful, and the vegetables were refreshing and delicious. For just 20 yuan per person, you could eat a full meal. It's an excellent value! Highly recommended for those who want to connect with nature!

    Tibet seems to me to have never been inaccessible, even if a person has traveled most of China, and has thought about Tibet countless times in his mind, but no one has the courage to step there after all, probably because of the climate, maybe because of the altitude, or I have read a lot of works about there. The mysterious, holy filters that come, always afraid that their messy state of mind will tarnish the clean, faith-filled land in their hearts. But after all, the enemy can not yearn, the yearning for the snow-capped mountains, the yearning for countless clean alpine lakes, the yearning for countless free creatures that perched on that land, chose a mid-October that is not the peak season, and set foot in that wilderness. The altitude is rising, 3000 4000 5000, but fortunately, the high reaction seems to forgive me, my body is all normal, there is no discomfort, I will do this as this land to my greatest welcome and acceptance. The Potala Palace under the sun, the white wall refracts the golden light of the sun, spills on every believer around, and the air is burning incense, which is indeed a place of faith. At the Kawula Pass, with the wind at 5,245 meters above sea level, I hung up the scriptures that wrote my good wishes. Even if there is no faith, it is inevitable that people will revere their hearts and desire some simple and simple wishes. The glacier of Kajola, which will fade away, is glad I remembered what it looked like.

    When you go to Tibet, you must visit Mount Everest. Although not everyone can reach the top of the mountain, it is beautiful to see the golden mountain in the sun at the Everest Base Camp. Looking up at the Milky Way starry sky at night is indescribably beautiful!

    Standing at the base camp of Mount Everest at 5200 meters above sea level, the wind swept through the ancient flooded rocky beaches with snow mist, and the world in front of you stood between the heavens and the earth like a platinum pyramid. The sunset melted gold, the burning glow on the peak burned eyes, and the clouds and mists poured over, and the holy face disappeared when it was time to see Everest, and it was more religious. In the tent hotel, Tibetan Ajia smiled with a bowl of butter tea, and the turquoise and coral swayed. She pointed to the temperature and Everest's ripples interwoven into a wonderful chord: Under the mountain, mortals lit up the stars in Zhuoma's eyes with pink velvet caps, lifted up faith with the mulberry smoke of the mulberry furnace, and stung the breath of snow with oxygen tubes. Looking back, the cloud curtain opened and closed between the understanding that the mountain was not conquered by people, but the mountain ferry: when sleepy, the snow color is the lighthouse of the soul. > 8844.43 meters of the stone is still standing, > I picked up half an inch clear, > but left half of my life obsessed with the scriptures.

    Kajola Glacier has become the core natural landscape of the southern Tibetan ring road with its rare accessibility of the highway, the strange landscape of ice Tallinn and the film and television cultural label. However, man-made destruction and climate threats are accelerating its demise, and it is recommended to visit as soon as possible during the best viewing period (spring and autumn) to retain the beauty of the "Tangka hanging on the mountain wall" in awe.

    Yangzhuoyu Lake, also known as Yangzhuoyucuo, Tibetan meaning "Biyu Lake" or "Swan Lake", is located in Langkazi County, Shannan City, Tibet Autonomous Region, is the largest closed inland lake in the southern Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, and is one of the three major sacred lakes in Tibet. Yangzhuoyu Lake is bright and blue, with rich and beautiful scenery, integrating snow-capped mountains, glaciers, islands, pastures, farms and hot springs. The color of the lake will change with the changes of the light exposure, resulting in different lake colors. Yangzhuoyu Lake has become one of the important attractions of Tibet tourism with its unique natural scenery and rich cultural connotation, and is also an important base for studying the lake ecosystem and Tibetan culture of the plateau.

    Gangbala Mountain: Touch the Center of the World and Encounter the Sky-Mirror of Yamdrok Lake If you crave a journey that transcends the scenery, Gangbala Mountain offers the answer—not only is it the "King of Mountains," but it is also recognized by Hinduism, Tibetan Buddhism, Bon, and Jainism as the "Center of the World." It's more than just a geographical peak; it's a dome of faith and spirit. The moment you stand at the pass, you'll understand: the meaning of mountains is not just about climbing, but about returning. I. Why is Gangbala Mountain worth visiting? 1. Divine Land, Holy Temple of Many Religions Gangbala Mountain is revered by many religions as the axis of the universe, and is said to be the abode of the gods. Circumambulations, prayer flags, and mani piles... every step feels like a dialogue with millennia-old beliefs. If you seek spiritual resonance during your journey, this place offers a sense of transcendental tranquility and power. 2. A breathtaking view of the sacred lake from the mountain Stand at Gangbala Pass (5,030 meters above sea level) and overlook Yamdrok Lake—the blue tears of the northern Himalayas! The lake's color shifts with the light of the sky, from Tiffany blue to emerald green, like a fallen lens from the gods. This is a photographer's paradise and a hidden haven for spiritual healing. 3. A Symphony of Primitive and Purity Desolate rock formations, whistling wind horses, the simple smiles of the Tibetan people... Gangbala Mountain preserves the most authentic atmosphere of Tibet. Free from over-commercialization, it offers a pure collision of nature, mountains, and faith. 2. How to Reach Gangbala Pass Smoothly? 1. Departure Point: Lhasa The distance from Lhasa to Gangbala Pass is approximately 70-100 kilometers (depending on your departure point), and the drive takes approximately 2.5 hours. We recommend chartering a car or sharing a ride (book in advance through your travel agency or hotel). Along the way, you can stop at the Yajiang River Valley Viewing Platform to take photos with the docile Tibetan mastiffs and lambs (remember to have change). 2. Route selection (1) Conventional route: Lhasa → Qushui County → Gangbala Mountain Road (S307 Provincial Road). The winding mountain road has many bends, but the road conditions are good. (2) Recommended time: Depart early in the morning to avoid afternoon clouds; the best time to view Yanghu Lake is from noon to afternoon on a sunny day (the lake is most gorgeous when the sun is directly shining). (3) Altitude sickness tips: The mountain pass is over 5,000 meters above sea level. It is recommended to prepare oxygen cylinders and glucose in advance, slow down your movements, and avoid running vigorously. 3. Tickets and tips (1) You need to buy a Yanghu Lake scenic area ticket (120 yuan/person) to visit the Gangbala Pass viewing platform, but if you only want to enjoy the lake at the mountain pass, you do not need to enter the paid viewing platform (there are excellent views on the roadside). (2) Respect local beliefs: Do not step on prayer flags or mani piles, and circle the prayer points in a clockwise direction. (3) Clothing suggestions: Windproof jacket + sunglasses + sunscreen! The wind at the mountain pass is strong and the ultraviolet rays are strong, but the sun is strong.

    Our guide, a Tibetan woman, was incredibly thorough and professional, providing detailed and insightful explanations. This gave me a deeper understanding of Tibetan Buddhism. She was also incredibly polite and enthusiastic, allowing us to experience the simplicity and kindness of our fellow Tibetans and the local customs. Drepung Monastery, with its rich history and rich heritage, is well worth a visit.

    This is the summer palace of the Dalai Lamas of all generations. It is located in the west of Lhasa, with the Potala Palace in the middle and the Jokhang Temple in Barkhor Street in the east. The forest facilities are beautiful and have high ornamental value.
