    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 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.

    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!

    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.

    Yaowang Mountain is simply a treasure place in Lhasa! Don't look at the mountain is not high, you can climb up directly and the Potala Palace face to face, 50 yuan background picture with the same perspective, just take a photo of the circle of friends blockbuster. The most awesome is the cliff stone carvings here, which are engraved with densely carved cliffs, Buddha statues, Tibetan texts, and prescriptions. I feel that I can touch the wisdom of thousands of years ago by reaching out. There are more locals than tourists in the passage of the scriptures. They follow them around and listen to the booming of the prayer wheel. The observation deck on the mountainside is absolutely amazing! In the evening, the whole city of Lhasa was full of gold, and the cloth palace was like a layer of gold powder, so beautiful that people could not move their legs. The sweet tea house at the foot of the mountain is two yuan and a cup of sweet tea. After climbing the mountain, a cup of fairy days is just like this! The key is that this place is free! It takes half an hour to stroll around, not only to see the thousand-year-old monuments, but also to punch in the net red seat, but also to integrate into the life of the locals, it is definitely the most cost-effective attraction in Lhasa, no one!

    The Yaowang Mountain Observation Deck is one of the best places to view the Potala Palace. It is located in a busy city and has convenient transportation. From here, you can see the same landscape as the background map of RMB 50. There are many tourists coming to check in every day.

    To travel to Lhasa, the Potala Palace is more attractive than the tourist attraction, and the Potala Palace in the night is more charming. Under night, the Potala Palace was gently wrapped in light, and the golden roof glowed against the light, as if set with countless gems, and the entire palace was more distinctive under the black background, which was particularly majestic. Lhasa at night, the sky is pure, the air is fresh, standing on the Potala Palace Square, watching the lighted palace, feeling the quiet and sacred atmosphere around, people's hearts get a great shock and purification.
