thump thump thump~
The long-awaited annual holiday has finally arrived, and the happy time flies by. Looking back, it has been almost 2 months since I returned to Beijing, and I finally sent out this long-awaited travel note. I sincerely thank my relatives and friends for their supervision and patience. (But in the end, because of laziness, the photos are basically the original pictures without editing. After all, Tibet is beautiful, so I posted the original pictures hahaha~)
According to the usual practice, I still write my thanks first. When talking about this journey, I must first thank Brother Chun for his decisiveness. One day when I got home from get off work and was looking through Ctrip, my dad suddenly held up a cooking shovel and told me, let’s go to Tibet, so the decision was made so quickly hahahaha. Secondly, I would like to thank Sister Xi Qian for planning the itinerary with me and gave me a lot of suggestions. I also thank Master Li Caishang for taking us all the way through the mountains and mountains. It is hard work. Finally, I would also like to thank Master and all the friends who gave us advice and instructions. Thank you for your help and support. A beautiful itinerary is inseparable from your warm reminders~
Without further ado, let’s get down to business! ! !

Our itinerary itself is like this, but because my dad and I have different degrees of altitude sickness after coming down from Yanghu Lake. At noon, we went to the health center in Langkazi Town to take oxygen. The doctor suggested that it is best not to go down, so the itinerary has also been fine-tuned

Thank you Uncle Deng for waiting for us even after get off work, taking us to take X-rays, blood tests, and oxygen inhalation. Thank you Xi Qian for helping me adjust the itinerary very quickly, and discussing the follow-up route together. Although I missed the Zha Temple, Glacier and Holy Elephant Tianmen in the original plan this time, I went to all the other places I wanted to go. I was also pleasantly surprised to check in the night view of the Potala Palace, and unexpectedly went to the historical and niche attraction Lupuyan Temple. I took a bus through the streets and alleys, and visited the local vegetable market and teahouse. It was perfect. .
-------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------>>>>>>>>
[Day 1: Beijing---Chongqing (it was after 1 o'clock in the morning to go to Jianqiang to have a meal of incense sticks before going to bed hahaha) Hongya Cave---Jiefang Monument---Yangtze River Cableway---Liziba Light Rail Station--- Jiangbei Airport---Gongga Airport]
At my dad's request, I took a picture of him with the plane
These few trips have become more and more fond of night flights. I feel that it can save a lot of time, except for being sleepy. There is nothing wrong with it. Because I arrived in Chongqing at around 1:00 at night, I chose a hotel that is very close to the airport. The hotel also provides pick-up service. very considerate
I haven't seen such a brand for a long time, I can't help but want to take a picture
Attached is a photo of Brother Chun looking at the night view through the window hahahaha (just finished playing the game on the plane)
After checking in, I took the room card on the 4th floor, and found that the 4th floor turned out to be the basement floor of the hotel. Only then did I realize that the hotel lobby was on the 5th floor. The mountain city is indeed a mountain city~
I put down my luggage and insisted on having a meal before going to bed, so I dragged my dad to eat a meal not far from the hotel. Chuan Chuan Xiang should be a chain store. There are still a few tables of locals here. Take it from the freezer and finally weigh it. Our store seems to be 56 pounds. It is said that if the bottom of the pot is spicy, the mandarin duck will be charged for free. I don’t know if it’s true hahaha. As soon as Baiduo checked out, it was only 78, and the sense of happiness immediately soared several degrees
After finishing the last sip of soy milk and returning to the hotel full of food, it was already past three o'clock in the morning. There are still so many restaurants open in the early morning. Chongqing is also a city that never sleeps.
Woke up early the next day and had a buffet breakfast at the hotel. Looking through the window, it was really foggy everywhere.
I successfully clocked in the Chongqing noodles and glutinous glutinous rice balls first, and set off for Hongyadong
Our hotel is not far from the subway station and can be reached on foot
Take the light rail to [Xiaoshizi] station
Attractions such as Hongya Cave, Jiefangbei, Yangtze River Cableway, etc. are not far from here and can be reached on foot
The famous Arhat Temple is just beside the light rail station
Hongyadong, formerly known as Hongyamen, is one of the ancient city gates of Chongqing, located by the Jialing River.
It is basically a commercial street now, but the architecture is very similar to the traditional architecture of Bayu. It can be regarded as a folk commercial and cultural street. If possible, it’s best to come at night. Internet celebrity hot pot restaurants such as Sister Pei and Chaotianmen are also nearby. It’s very nourishing to watch the night view after eating hot pot. Hongya Cave is the most beautiful between 18:00-22:00 in the evening, when the lights are on at the beginning of the night, the night scene is very good.
Hot pot bottom material that can be seen everywhere
There is also a big pot for frying the base
I ate rose brown sugar ice powder here and then set off for Jiefangbei
At this moment, the two of us made a fool of ourselves. In fact, we should return to the ground on the same road and walk directly there. We foolishly walked along the Hongya Cave to the riverside, but it was not only tiring but also a waste of time to walk all the way back on the winding mountain road. sweating
Jiefangbei is also a very famous commercial street. It is a bit similar to Wangfujing in Beijing. We walked around for a while and retreated. After all, we have no interest in shopping malls. Time is tight and we can’t delay it. Let’s go to the Yangtze River Cableway to take a look.
On the way, I accidentally got a pickled chili and chicken grocery store to solve the lunch problem. It should be an old store that has been open for many years. There are many locals.
I ordered a large pot of soaked chicken mixed with bullfrogs, which is rich in content, including chicken hearts, chicken gizzards, bullfrogs, celery, bean sprouts, etc. The rice is free, hot and sour, and it is very satisfying. It is very satisfying to eat more than 80 after a meal, which is too good value up
A bowl full of goose intestines
After dinner, we rushed to the Yangtze River cableway and saw a long queue lined up at the door. The reason was that we didn’t sit. We just watched a few times at the viewing platform and left. Everyone who is going to experience the Yangtze River cableway must be mentally prepared to line up. At least two hours and if you experience it, it is best to buy a round-trip ticket directly
After posing for a few photos and videos, I retreated. After I came out, I rushed to Liziba Light Rail Station, the last stop of the day.
I have also been to Chongqing. At that time, it was not a very famous light rail station. Now it has become a place for online celebrities to check in~ My dad and I occupied a favorable position a few stops in advance, and there is no shelter for taking pictures hahahaha
Here I suggest that you take the light rail directly from Jiefangbei, because it is easy to get stuck in traffic here, and it will delay your time, especially in the evening. Taking the light rail can guarantee the time. It is best to occupy the position of taking pictures one or two stops in advance, otherwise it will be true. When approaching Liziba, a large number of passengers will be piled up at the window and can't be seen at all.
Both my dad and I felt that the landscape before Liziba was already very good, but it didn’t pass through the building, and the instantaneous speed of actually passing through the building was also very slow, without the feeling of surprise as imagined.
Successfully completed today's check-in and set off to the airport to fly to Tibet
Here is a small episode. Because of the heavy rain, our previous flight was delayed indefinitely. We both received delayed meals. The more we eat, the cooler we are, especially afraid of delaying the itinerary.
Fortunately, it took off successfully after a delay of nearly 3 hours.
Arrived in Lhasa smoothly at around 12 o'clock at night
-------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------>>>>>>>>
[Day 2: Basongcuo --- Kadinggou Tianfo Waterfall --- Sejila Mountain (Looking at Nanga Bawa Peak) --- Lulang Forest Sea --- Lulang Town]
On the first day in Tibet, I woke up early and felt a little unwell. My head hurt a little. After drinking a lot of hot water, I felt a little relieved. I had breakfast at the hotel. I left Lhasa and headed for Nyingchi. The first stop was Basongcuo
Basongcuo is located in Gongbujiangda County, Nyingchi. It is a famous sacred lake of the Red Sect of Tibetan Buddhism and has a high religious status. The lake is green and soft, surrounded by green mountains, and the scenery is very good. The Cuozong Gongba Temple on the island in the middle of the lake has a long history, with special sculptures and buildings, and it is also a holy place for blessings.
The tourism development of Basongcuo scenic spot is relatively mature, and it is a relatively old scenic spot in Tibet. After entering the scenic spot, you need to take a sightseeing car to play. Generally, you will stop at three points on the road, which are beside the island in the middle of the lake, the viewing platform and Jieba Village. In addition, there are yachts in the scenic area that can swim in the lake, and an additional fee of about 100 yuan is required.
The island in the middle of the lake can be reached through the walking plank road built on the lake. The Cuozong Gongba Temple on the island was built in the late Tang Dynasty. The reefs on the island are carved into unique animal images and Buddha statues, which are particularly magical. The viewing platform is not far from the island in the center of the lake. The angle here is slightly higher, overlooking the lake and the island. The most classic photos of Basongcuo are from here. Jieba Village is a quiet village by the lake. Because many tourist groups visiting Basongcuo will not stay here, it makes the place quiet and leisurely. The village is quite a bit like a Swiss town, which is very good. (Excerpted from the introduction of Ctrip’s attractions hahaha)
The lake water is crystal clear and you can see many fish swimming in the water
Basongcuo is Tibet's first and currently only national 5A-level scenic spot in the category of natural scenery.
I have to sigh, the wife is really beautiful! The blueness of the lake exceeds expectations! ! No need for filter
The second stop today is Kadinggou Tianfo Waterfall. This should be considered the most value-for-money attraction in this trip. The ticket price in my impression is 20
Behind the waterfall with a vertical drop of 200 meters, there is a naturally formed Buddha
When the water volume is small, the side face is obvious, and the goddess is on the side. I can't help but sigh the magic of nature.
It takes about half an hour to walk right under the waterfall. The rocks are a bit slippery, so climb slowly.
When I walked right under the waterfall, the water volume was so large that it felt like it was raining. It was not the rainy season when we went, and I was already drenched in an instant.
If you have coats and raincoats, it is best to wear them when you go to the bottom of the waterfall. Pay special attention during the rainy season, otherwise you will really be drenched and blown through.
Leaving Kadinggou, I arrived at the viewing platform of Sejila Mountain before the sun went down. The altitude is 4720. After getting off the car, I feel a little floating under my feet.
We were luckier than seeing the sunset because we saw the main peak of Namjagbarwa. The peak was above the clouds and looked like a mirage. The moment of excitement was beyond words.
Namjagbarwa is one of my most anticipated views during this trip. It is one of the most beautiful mountains in China. The whole mountain is like a girl lying flat because it is hidden in the clouds for more than 200 days a year, so it is also called a shy girl. We were very lucky to be able to see the peak, but after 5 minutes of taking pictures, the peak was completely covered by clouds and could not be seen
Just this hasty side, my dad and I have been pissed off for half a month, it's so beautiful! So lucky! ! ! I feel that the other peaks I saw later were overshadowed
Get out of the viewing platform and continue to move forward, turn around Lulang Linhai and come to Lulang Town
The town has undergone another improvement in the past two years. It is a very beautiful and quiet pasture, a bit like Heki Village in Xinjiang.
The Evergrande Hotel I stayed at was also very good. It is quiet and unique.
There is an oxygen inhaler in the hotel room. If you feel unwell, you can inhale oxygen at any time. It is very thoughtful.
Put down your luggage, put on your coat, and come out to eat a pot of stone pot chicken
The chicken is original, and there are goji berries and ginseng in it. Finally, some vegetables are boiled. The delicious hot soup drives away the fatigue and discomfort of the day. It is so comfortable. It is the perfect first day.
-------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------>>>>>>>>
【Day 3: Buddha's Palm Sand Dunes --- Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon --- Suosong Village --- Milin County】
When I woke up the next day, I opened the hotel's automatic curtains and looked at the quiet scenery in front of me through the large floor-to-ceiling windows. I felt that my heart was also quiet. The fresh air was inhaled into the lungs and it was cool.
After I packed my luggage and came to the cafeteria on the basement floor of the hotel, I couldn’t help opening my eyes and saying wow
The large floor-to-ceiling windows are more than ten meters high. Sit by the window, eat tsampa, kasai, drink sweet tea and buttered tea, and chew milk dregs
Looking at the woods and sea of clouds in the distance, the nearby river, and the yaks running by from time to time, and the Tibetan girl chasing the yaks, I suddenly feel like I don’t want to leave
Paradise on earth, Wonderland Lulang The most enjoyable moment in this trip is too beautiful
After breakfast, proceed to Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon
On the way, we will first pass by the Niyang Scenery Observation Deck. I met a cute puppy here and is not afraid of people, so I took the opportunity to take a photo~
Yaks can be seen everywhere on the way down the mountain (at the beginning, I took pictures every time, but later found that the frequency of encountering cattle and sheep is very high)
Before arriving at the Grand Canyon, you will pass Buddha's Palm Sand Dune, which is a naturally formed sand mountain located at the corner of a river.
It is said that every time the wind blows, some sand will be blown over, so it is naturally formed because the shape is too uncertain The reflection is like the folded palms of the Buddha, hence the name Buddha Palm Sand Dunes
Drive forward for about an hour and you will arrive at the Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon Scenic Spot. There are two types of tickets for the scenic spot, with or without meals. Personally, I recommend the one with meals because there are no places to eat around the Grand Canyon. During the whole tour, there are stops. They also sell fruit cold drinks and popsicles, so it’s best to come in for a meal
The restaurant is self-service. There are a lot of people. There are meat, vegetables, and soup. The quality of the food is okay. If possible, it’s best to shift the peak hours. In fact, you can’t miss it if you stagger the tour groups of Daboer. It’s good that tour groups have meal time restrictions, so restaurants with a high turnover rate are relatively slippery. Walk slowly, be careful of falling down, and remember to collect the plate after eating.
The restaurant is the stop of the scenic bus. We waited for about half an hour and got on the bus. There is a special seat on the bus. There is a tour guide who will briefly explain the scenic spots we will go to. The tour time of each stop is about 15-25 minutes. The time is relatively abundant, and it is more worry-free to play.
In March and April, Suosong Village can see patches of peach blossoms. The village, river, snow-capped mountains, and peach blossoms complement each other very beautifully.
Along the way, there is also a chance to walk to the shore and have a close contact with the Yarlung Zangbo River
If you are lucky, you can see Namjagbarwa Peak as the best and closest observation point. However, it is said that there are more than 280 days in a year that you can’t see it, especially in summer when the clouds and fog surround you. The chance of seeing it is even higher. In winter, the sky is clear and the rain is less. The chance of seeing it will be higher. The most beautiful stage is the last stop. After the vehicle will return the same way
When you come back, it’s a good opportunity to take pictures of the canyon. The tour guide on the car will also remind everyone to pay attention, so don’t fall asleep~
From the Grand Canyon to Milin County, Milin is a very quiet and clean small county. The whole county is just a main street and you can walk to the end in half an hour. There are quite a lot of places to eat and supermarkets. Happy to weed
You can order a combination of yak meat and beef offal. The meat is full of ingredients and it is very enjoyable. It is very good to eat with your mouth or dip it in the homemade dipping sauce in the store.
After eating a few bowls of sour and fragrant hot soup, my spirits improved a lot. When I came out, it started to rain. Fortunately, I didn’t live far from my place. I asked the store for a plastic bag to put on my head and went back to sleep comfortably. I'm getting ready for tomorrow~
-------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------>>>>>>>>
【Day 4: Ramla wrong --- Dagu scenic spot --- Shannan】
Although the hotel is rich in breakfast, in order not to vomit and lose your mind due to altitude sickness, I casually took a sip of light food. If you are afraid of discomfort, try to eat light food. It will be much better if you drink less oil, less salt and more hot water.
Along the way, we first passed a sand dune, came down to play with great interest, and met a pony chasing us
Afterwards, I passed the Wolong Strange Stone. Looking at the huge stones on the river bank, I have been researching with Brother Chun on which one is more like a dragon. As a result, Master Li came to reveal the secret and said that because this place is called Wolong, the scenic spot is called Wolong Strange Stone emmm...
On the way, I stopped at a corner of a canyon to rest and unexpectedly found a lot of lizards
I ate small noodles and beef noodles in the small county town. Except that it was too spicy, the taste was fine. I bought Linzhi yogurt at the local market and drove for about an hour before finally arriving at the last road leading to Ramla Co. superior
The highlight of today's itinerary is also one of the most anticipated attractions in Tibet this time. Lamla Cuo means "auspicious Tianmu Lake" in Tibetan. It is said that it is the observation place for the selection of soul boys, and it is also a place where many Tibetans will come to pilgrimage. It is said that you can see it in the lake. to my previous life
It is true that the most beautiful scenery is often in places that are inaccessible. Although Ramla is not a very small scenic spot, because of the high altitude and the need to climb mountains at 5000+ places, there are very few tourists.
When arriving at the first gate of the scenic spot, all the people in the car need to get off the car for security inspection and leave everyone's ID card in exchange for a pass, and then go through more than 40 kilometers of speed-testing mountain roads to reach the final foot of the mountain. The scenery along the way is enough before reaching the foot of the mountain. Meixue Mountain Canyon River Grassland Cows and sheep meander and slowly climb up to the parking lot at Ramla Co. The altitude is about 5100 meters
It is strongly recommended that everyone take a few mouthfuls of oxygen before climbing the mountain. It will be much better during the climbing process. It is good to bring some hot water and a small tank of oxygen when climbing the mountain. Be sure to pack lightly, because the more things you carry, the more tired you will be.
Although the height of the vertical ascent is less than 300 meters, my dad and I stopped and went, rested about 10 times in the middle, took a few times of oxygen, and successfully reached the summit for about an hour.
The moment I saw the lake, it’s not an exaggeration to say that there were tears in my eyes, and I was inexplicably excited.
The trip to Ramlacuo was about 7 hours driving and 2 hours hiking to the top of the mountain at an altitude of 5,300 meters. I saw the dream of Ramlacuo. During the process, I encountered the encouragement of the local pilgrims twice, and I was so excited that I shed tears. I sucked a can of oxygen and vomited twice, but the moment I really saw the beautiful scenery, I felt that it was worth the pain and fatigue. Thank you Master Li and Brother Chun for taking care of me. Tibet is beautiful and Tibet is worth it.
The time to go down the mountain is relatively short, about half an hour, and the rest time is relatively short. I went down to the parking lot about three or four times. At that time, I felt a little floating and uncomfortable. I went downhill at a high speed
When I was going all the way to the south of the mountain, I would pass by the Dagu Scenic Area. Because I started to have a headache when I went down the mountain, I was drowsy, half asleep and half awake, and I didn’t see much of the scenery. But according to my dad, the scenery is more beautiful than the Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon. The snow mountains, rivers, and rainbows are really Everywhere
It was around ten o'clock in the evening when we arrived in Shannan, we had a quick bowl of porridge and went to sleep
Friendly reminder, be sure to bring some food and hot water with you in the car. If you feel hungry or uncomfortable, take two bites. Be sure not to be hungry, otherwise the uncomfortable feeling will be aggravated
-------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------>>>>>>>>
【Day 5: Gangbala Mountain Pass---Yamdrok Yongcuo---Langkazi---Lhasa】
I still felt a little groggy when I woke up in the morning. I drank some porridge at the hotel and felt a little relieved. Then I set off for the famous Yanghu Lake.
Yamdrok Lake is commonly called Yanghu Lake. It is one of the three holy lakes in Tibet. The water of the lake will show different blue colors under the sunlight at different times, which is very beautiful.
Along the way, I met many Tibetans who turned around the mountain. I saw many ladders painted on the mountain. I heard that it was a special day, so there were many people there.
I bought a ticket at the entrance of the Yanghu Lake Scenic Area and drove all the way up the mountain. There are several viewing platforms with different heights, but the scenery you see is similar. You can see which platform has fewer people. There will be lambs, yaks and yaks on the viewing platform. Tibetan mastiffs can be photographed. Basically, it costs 10 yuan a piece. Tibetan mastiffs are very gentle and obedient. Friends who want to take pictures can come to one
Warm reminder, before taking the photo, you must ask whether it is 10 yuan for random photos or 10 yuan for each photo
When we came down from Yanghu Lake, my dad and I had different degrees of altitude sickness. When we arrived at Langkazi Town for lunch at noon, my condition became very bad. Master Li took me to the local health center to inhale oxygen in time
At that time, my dad and I had very low blood oxygen levels and high blood pressure. After each took oxygen for an hour, the doctor suggested that we should not continue to climb and go to a place with a relatively low altitude, so we originally planned to go to Zhasi and Karuo in the afternoon. La Glacier was canceled and temporarily decided to return to Lhasa
Here, I would like to thank my father for discovering the problem in time and taking me to the health center. Thank you Xi Qian for helping me adjust the itinerary. I also want to thank Master Li for driving us all the way back to Lhasa.
The car slowly drove towards Lhasa, and we felt better and better. After entering the city of Lhasa, the headache has been relieved a lot. But just to be on the safe side, we went to the People's Hospital for blood tests, films, and blood pressure tests. There was no major problem after the checks. After taking oxygen for an hour, I felt refreshed hahahaha I didn’t expect that the first time I went to the emergency room to inhale oxygen was in Lhasa. I later summed up this experience, “It’s the first time I feel so close to the sky and so close to heaven”, but it’s still not bad special experience
In retrospect, if I took oxygen before going up the mountain when I went to Ramla, or if I felt uncomfortable when I went down the mountain, I would have taken oxygen in time, maybe this would not have happened.
Here are two points to remind everyone: First, if you have a slight headache due to altitude sickness in Tibet, you can drink some hot water or take a painkiller such as Tylenol to get used to it, but if you feel that the headache can no longer be ignored, you must be in time Inhale oxygen and don't try to carry it by yourself. Second, you must slow down when you climb to the height. If you have plenty of time, stay in Nyingchi or Lhasa for two more days before going to the next area. Don’t rush to the third day and the fourth day like us. High-altitude areas such as 5300 and 4700 are prone to altitude sickness
-------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------>>>>>>>>
[Day 6: Norbulingka --- Sera Monastery --- Sera Monastery Debate --- Sera Monastery Sweet Tea House --- Barkhor Street --- Potala Palace Square --- Yaowang Mountain --- Cloth Night view of Dala Palace Square]
Due to high anti-reverse reasons, the itinerary originally scheduled to go to Shigatse has been changed and the last day of the Lhasa itinerary was temporarily dismantled and changed into a two-day city tour. Although this time there is no chance of Zha Temple and Glacier, the itinerary in the city has become more Free and rewarding
After breakfast, I went to Norbulingka. Norbulingka means the treasure garden, also known as the summer palace. It has a little bit of a Jiangnan garden feeling, but it is more magnificent than the garden buildings in the south of the Yangtze River. There are a lot of relics and treasures in it. Hundreds of plants and flowers come to Norbulingka in summer. All kinds of flowers are competing to bloom. The sun shines on the walls and plants. The roofs are colorful and green and tree-lined, which is like a "paradise" in Lhasa.
The scenic area is very large and there are small battery cars for sightseeing. In my impression, it should be 20 or 25. If you don’t want to walk or you don’t have enough time, you can choose to take a car or a special car. The driver will give a brief introduction and then you It is more convenient to go to the next palace in the same car if the car is not at the door when you go in for a tour.
When we went, the weather was fine and there were few people, so we could take a slow tour, our eyes shined through the leaves on the ground, on the steps and on the walls of the palace, smelling the faint aroma of ghee, I felt my heart calm down
What I want to remind everyone here is that the Summer Palace has a dress code for tourists. Girls should not wear skirts, shorts, vests and the like.
If you think wearing a skirt looks good, you can wear a long-sleeved skirt like me and put leggings on it (after all, it’s a little cold in the summer palace, so you won’t feel hot even if you wear pants)
After coming out of the Summer Palace, it was still early, so I went directly to Sera Monastery. Sera Monastery is on the edge of downtown Lhasa. According to Master Li, it was almost time to leave the city.
There are many vegetarian and teahouses at the entrance of the temple, and there are also Nepalese restaurants and cafes. Because we arrived early, we chose to have a Nepalese vegetarian meal at the entrance. The taste of spices and spices is relatively strong, but it still tastes delicious. The price is also relatively affordable. You can eat slowly until you are full hahahaha.
Here I would like to remind everyone that when you come to Tibet, you need to prepare some change, such as one yuan and ten yuan. When you eat, you may meet children asking for money. The heart of charity is also very important, so you still have to give some change. It is more convenient to have change.
Sera Monastery is one of the three major monasteries in Lhasa and the second largest monastery in the Tibetan area. Many Buddha statues, scriptures, and thangkas are enshrined in the monastery.
You can find a tour guide at the door to explain, which may be more conducive to understanding the culture, and you can also go to some places that you can’t visit.
In addition, the Matou Mingwang Hall enshrines the famous Matou Mingwang statue in Sera Temple. Matou Mingwang is the Dharma protector of Tibetan Buddhism Esoteric Buddhism. He has powerful mana to drive away evil spirits and solve problems. It is said that this horse-headed Mingwang statue was excavated underground along with the neighing sound of a horse when Master Tsongkhapa, the founder of the Gelug Sect of Tibetan Buddhism, heard the neighing sound while walking. Powerful magic power to ward off evil spirits. This is also the focus of believers visiting Sera Monastery. You can join the ranks of believers and pay homage to pray for yourself and ward off evil spirits. When visiting the shrine, I met many Tibetans who came with their children. It is said that they are helping the children to pray for blessings.
Sera Monastery is more famous for its sutra debate, which is also the focus of everyone’s visit here. The sutra debate starts at 3:00 p.m. at the Sutra Debating Field on the north side of the temple, and it is held every day except Sundays and special holidays, and lasts until 5:00 p.m.
During the debate, the monks often sit on the ground and the other stands opposite to discuss the scriptures with exaggerated movements. Our tour guide explained that the debate of the scriptures in Sera Monastery is that every afternoon lamas with similar knowledge confront each other and ask each other about the philosophy or scriptures they have learned. The questions are a bit similar to daily exams, but they are also a bit like heated debates. Monks clap their hands once for "are you ready?" clap twice for "quick answer." Step on your own ignorance and ignorance, and roll the beads on your arms to use the wisdom of Manjushri Bodhisattva to defeat your opponent. Draw a circle on the opponent's head to indicate that the opponent has lost. After the explanation, it will be more interesting to watch.
The back mountain of Sera Monastery is relatively high, and you can see the panoramic view of Lhasa from the top of the mountain. If you have enough physical strength, you can also climb it, but the height is about 500 meters, and it may take three to four hours to climb. Everyone can do what they can.
The Sera Monastery Sweet Tea House is at the gate of Sera Monastery. It is an unexpected harvest this time. It is very distinctive and basically all locals. It's very authentic. It's very comfortable to spend 8 yuan to order a pot of tea or eat a Tibetan noodle and enjoy a slow time in the yard under the shadow of the mottled trees.
After leaving the gate of Sera Monastery, there is a bus back to the city. It takes about 5 minutes to walk to the station. We took the bus directly to Barkhor Street. In my impression, it should be No. 22, get off at Cuomeilin Station and walk a little. Lhasa buses are self-operated coin-operated without ticket sales, so it is very important to prepare a little change of one yuan.
Barkhor Street, also known as Barkhor Street, is a thousand-year-old street that best represents Tibetan folk customs
The Jokhang Temple is also on the Barkhor Street. Many people come here every day to turn around. There are many residential houses and small shops next to the Jokhang Temple turnaround road. It is very unique and it is also a must-see place for Lhasa tourism.
It's still early when we leave Barkhor Street
So we walked for about two kilometers and came to the Potala Palace Square. The square is a good place to take photos of the Potala Palace.
Especially the lakeside of the park, you can take beautiful reflections on sunny days, and it is also the best place to shoot night scenes at night
Of course, you must come early to occupy a favorable position and wait until it gets dark, otherwise you won’t be able to grab it at all. However, it gets dark very late in Tibet and basically you have to wait until around 9:30. If you are hungry, you can eat first and then come and wait for about two hours. prepared in mind
Yaowang Mountain is next to the Potala Palace Square. After climbing up the small platform, it is the place to take pictures of the landscape on the back of 50 RMB. You can hold the RMB to take a photo of the card
There is a pigeon that is not afraid of people at all on the platform at the top of the mountain
In the evening, there will be a large musical fountain on the Potala Palace Square. Looking at the Potala Palace through the water splash of the fountain, it will be more hazy and beautiful.
At ten o'clock in the evening, I finally had dinner. I ordered stone-roasted Tibetan pork, potato buns, and saffron-fried Linzhi fungus. The most oily meal I had in the past few days
However, it is not very comfortable after eating because it is too oily. It can be seen that the diet should be mainly light.

[Day 7: Nagenla Mountain Pass --- Nyainqentanglha Observation Deck --- Nam Co]
Today is a one-day tour of Namtso. Before departure, I heard that Namtso is repairing the road, and it has been more than two years. It has not been repaired yet. When it is approaching Namtso, it is very bumpy. The potholes are about an hour. Be mentally prepared.
It takes about 5 hours to drive from Lhasa to Namtso. At noon, I ate beef noodles in the town. Lanzhou ramen is the most popular and convenient to eat. However, because the noodles are not easy to cook at high altitudes, a pressure cooker is required, so the ramen shops here are all It's called "Lanzhou Steam Ramen"
According to Master Li, eating noodles is easy to digest, and Lanzhou ramen can be kept clean. Eating noodles and drinking hot soup will make your stomach feel more comfortable.
Before arriving at Namtso Lake, we will pass through the Nagenla Mountain Pass, which is 5190 meters above sea level. After so many days of adaptation, we don’t feel uncomfortable at this height.
An hour or so after crossing the mountain pass, we drove into the Namtso Scenic Area. Looking at the vast blue from a distance, it appeared in front of our eyes. It was an indescribable blue. The side is not as blue as seen from afar.
There are many seagulls by the lake in Namco (I don’t know if they should be called seagulls, but they are a kind of water birds). They are full of childlike innocence. Holding a few small breads and feeding them all the way to the lake, it is no exaggeration to say that I feel like I can feed them here. one afternoon
Attention friends with drones! Drones can be used by the lakeside. During this trip, only Basongcuo, Yanghu Lake and here can be used for drones. Therefore, if there is no wind, everyone must cherish the opportunity to take pictures.
However, it should be noted that if the altitude is high, the air is relatively thin. When the drone takes off, the lift required will be relatively large. If it does not fly too high, it will prompt overload, so you must fly slowly. In case the operating load is too large, it will fall Namtso Lake can be finished
If the weather is good, you can see Nyainqentanglha Mountain by the lake. It is said that Nyainqentanglha and Namtso used to be a couple. They traveled through time like this and watched each other quietly. The snow-capped mountains and clear water echo each other. The beautiful scenery is quite romantic at present.
The way back is all the way back. It’s not easy to come to Namtso, but it’s worth it to see the beautiful scenery.
On the way, we saw a small fork leading to Bangor. It was also the direction that we planned to go to the Holy Elephant Tianmen. The grassland was paved with stones and it took four hours to pass. Therefore, if you want to go to the Holy Elephant Tianmen, you must be mentally prepared to fall apart.
-------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------>>>>>>>>
[Day 8: Barkhor Street---Jokhang Temple---Jokhang Temple Square---Potala Palace---Potala Palace Square---Lupuyan Temple---Gongga Airport]
The itinerary on the last day is very full, but because it was split into two days before, today’s itinerary has become very loose. In summary, it is the Jokhang Temple and the Potala Palace.
The Jokhang Temple Square has already been here when I came to Barkhor Street before, but when I came in the morning, it was a different scene. There will be many Tibetans turning around and worshiping in the Jokhang Temple. Of course, there will be many in the Jokhang Temple. Tibetans waiting for pilgrimage and ghee
If you don’t have your own tour guide, you can find a local tour guide when you buy tickets at the gate of the Jokhang Temple. After all, you can’t understand anything when you go in and go around. Why don’t you find someone to explain and understand the culture?
There are not many places to visit in the whole temple, because Tibetans come to worship, some places are also inaccessible, so the whole tour time is relatively fast, about an hour or so
The second stop is the Potala Palace. Tickets for the Potala Palace must be booked in advance or they will not be able to enter. Now passengers who are required to visit the Potala Palace need to have a tour guide because there is a time limit for everyone in the second half. When booking tickets online, you should also find that they are all tickets with tour guides and you can book them directly.
The Potala Palace is now displayed in front of the world more like a museum. It is best to find a tour guide to follow and listen to the explanation to better understand the culture.
Does the cloud look like a flying phoenix?
Standing on the top floor and looking at the city below, I suddenly recalled the phrase "How many secrets a person needs to hide in order to spend this life skillfully. This Buddha-shining plateau, three steps and two steps is heaven, but there are still So many people are unable to walk because they are too preoccupied."
After coming out of the Potala Palace, because I had more time, I went to the Internet celebrity yogurt shop next to the Potala Palace.
I drank ginseng fruit yoghurt
I ate Liangpi, cold noodles and potato chips in the streets of Baita Temple, bought a local special oil bun, and sent postcards to relatives and friends
(It was too late when I bought it the day before, so I only stamped it)
I came here today while writing and posting. The lucky little friend even got the chapter stamped by Brother Chun himself hahaha
I bought a small watermelon that is said to be very sweet at the local vegetable market, and finally went to check in the Lupuyan Temple on the side of a square.
Lupuyan Temple was built by King Songtsan Gampo and is located on the hillside of Yaowang Mountain opposite the Red Mountain where the Potala Palace is located. Legend has it that the statues of Sakyamuni and his disciples enshrined in the hall were naturally generated, and then carved into reliefs by Nepalese craftsmen. The prince was born in Zara Zhaxi Infinity Palace, the nine-story palace built by Princess Chizun of Nepal. King Songtsen Gampo, father and son lived here, about 1300 years ago. (Copy from Ctrip, because it is not allowed to take pictures inside the temple, so I only took a picture at the entrance)
The first time I came two days ago, the temple was closed and I didn’t go there, so this time it’s my wish.
Because the itinerary was broken up into two days, there was still a lot of time to come out of the temple. I accidentally went to a local vegetable market.
Unlike many girls who like to go shopping, I especially like to go to the local market. I think the small market is full of life and very down-to-earth.
I met the "chicken and rabbit in the same cage problem" in the market hahahaha
I heard that the watermelons in Tibet are very sweet, so I couldn’t help but order one
Finally, I bought a can of highland barley rice wine and set off for the airport to bid farewell to Tibet
However, I was late again at the airport, and the restaurant closed early, so I had no choice but to make noodles at the airport with my dad.
Unlocking two flavors that I have never tasted before is also a kind of harvest hahahaha
-------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------>>>>>>>>
[Day 9: Chongqing---Ciqikou---Nanshan Yikeshu Observation Deck---Dongting Hot Pot (Air Raid Shelter Store)---Jiangbei Airport---Beijing]
I took the night flight again and arrived in Chongqing in the early morning. Although I didn’t eat this time, I went to bed late, so I didn’t get up very early the next day. I took a bite of breakfast and set off for Ciqikou.
Chongqing is indeed a stove. After getting off the plane yesterday, I felt a layer of fog on my body. Now when I go out, my hair is damp. The sky is overcast and there is no sun, but I feel like cucumbers and eggplants in a greenhouse, especially steaming.
Cars are not allowed in the ancient town, so all kinds of daily necessities are brought in with the help of hard-working mountain workers. It is really not easy
We live near the airport, so it takes about an hour to take the light rail to Ciqikou. The ancient town is not far from the subway entrance, just follow the flow of people. Ciqikou is crowded with all kinds of gadgets and snacks
To sum up, it is probably a street of skewers, peanut candies, twists, and hot pot bottoms. The whole ancient town is filled with the spicy aroma of fried bottoms.
After eating Chaoshou and Hot and Sour Rice Noodles, I bought some bottoming materials and twists, and it came out after a while.
For the bottom material, I don’t recommend you to buy Qiaotou. After all, you can buy it anywhere in Qiaotou. The supermarket is cheaper than here. You must try the freshly fried ingredients. Just send it back in plastic packaging.
In terms of twist, Chen twist is very famous. This ancient town is full of Chen twist, but it is said that only Chen Changyin's is a serious century-old brand, so you must look for it when you buy it. The appearance of their rolled twist is similar to others. It’s not the same. I came back from the personal test and left it open for half a month. It’s still crispy and delicious (but it doesn’t matter if you buy it wrong. We also bought other people’s twists and tasted the seaweed flavor. It’s also delicious)
I have seen this kind of red prunes on the road several times. I have always been curious. I finally pulled out the weeds. It turned out to be honey-soaked, sweet and not tasty.
From Ciqikou, I took the light rail back to the vicinity of Xiaoshizi, and then took a taxi to the Nanshan Yikeshu Observation Deck. This is a good place to see the panoramic view of Chongqing, especially the night view. Unfortunately, we were short on time and only saw the foggy Jialing River. After returning here, besides taking the bus, you can only take a taxi. The traffic is not very convenient. If you can’t wait for the bus, you can call a taxi to pick you up.
A tree in Nanshan is on the top of a street of hot pot spring water chicken. According to the taxi driver we took, there are a few of them that are very authentic, and the locals often eat it. Unfortunately, we have no time to taste it. If you have time, you can try the spring water. If the chicken is too spicy, you must tell the store in advance. The master reminds us that it is best to tell the store where you are from, and they will judge for themselves whether it is too spicy or too spicy.
On the way back, we took a black car, and the master reluctantly drove us down the mountain to Light Rail Line 2, and then took the light rail to eat hot pot.
Dongzi hotpot is a very unique kind here. It was remodeled from the air-raid shelter back then, so although sister Pei Chaotianmen and other shops are very popular on the Internet, I still firmly want to come to eat Dongzi hotpot and stage a real-life hotpot hero. Ha ha
Dongting Hot Pot is a very popular shop here, especially this air-raid shelter shop. The two of us arrived after four in the afternoon. We were very lucky to occupy one of the last two vacant tables. They have two seats and four seats. If there are only two people, you will find that there are still vacant seats, but if you are not a two-seat person, you can’t sit there. As a result, less than 5 stores have already started waiting for a seat. When we finished eating, we were still there. Less than 6 stores are already full of people
The plates of the dishes are not big, but the quantity is quite large. I ordered eel, duck intestines, fish loin slices, venetian fat intestines, old meat slices, sweet potato, pink sugar glutinous rice cakes and small crispy meat. My dad was shocked when they were served plate by plate. looked at me with eyes and asked how much more
Although there are a lot of orders, the food is super satisfying, and the average per capita for such a large table is just over 100, which is really worth it
Vegetable porridge, small ingredients and pickled vegetables are all self-service. It’s very convenient. It’s super delicious and I’m going to the airport.
During the two hours of the flight delay, I silently ate two more bites of packaged crispy meat and glutinous rice cakes. Here I want to remind everyone that it is really delicious to eat hot. The crispy pork is good because there is pepper in it to relieve the greasy taste. It will be very oily, it is best to eat it while it is hot.
Smooth boarding, smooth takeoff, smooth landing
Going home, although the night in Beijing is a bit hot, it is cool for us who just came back from the stove
I also got a special souvenir by accident [Everest mineral water bottle compressed by air pressure difference]
My dad said that this is more meaningful than all souvenirs, because if you want such an effect, you can only go back to Tibet hahaha
-------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------>>>>>>>>
On the way, when the altitude sickness was uncomfortable, I felt that the time passed very slowly. After I slowed down, I suddenly felt that the time passed very fast.
I didn't expect to bid farewell to Tibet in a blink of an eye. After suffering and suffering, I also saw more beautiful scenery in places less traveled by.
Thanks to Sister Xixi for helping to adjust the hotel. Thanks to Master Li for taking care of us along the way. Thanks to Deng Dada for taking us to the emergency room. Thanks to all the smiling faces and help we met along the way.
Walking through snow-capped mountains, rivers and lakes, crossing forests, grasslands, and deserts, turning around palaces, temples, and old streets, marveling at the breathtaking scenery in front of you, and being moved by the simple and enthusiastic Tibetans around you
This is a journey of "going through life and death" and a journey of "loving others is loving oneself". In the future life, I will bring this kindness and gratitude to pass on care and warmth to more people. I always believe in the people around me. People are better, the world is better, and we get better too.
Last but not least, a warm reminder from Girl Rain:
-------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------>>>>>>>>
[Precautions for first arrival in Tibet and altitude sickness]
1. In addition to maintaining a normal state of mind, walking as slowly as possible, not strenuous exercise, drinking more water, eating more fruits, and adequate rest are the best ways to prevent altitude sickness. Never let the altitude climb too fast in a short period of time.
2. Don't drink alcohol, smoke less, and don't overeat. Please bring your own American ginseng lozenges or health medicines such as Rhodiola rosea and Gaoyuanan to relieve altitude sickness.
3. On the first night of arriving in Tibet, try to use the hotel's pot to boil water to drink, adapt to the local water and soil, and avoid acclimatization.
4. Try not to take a bath or wash your hair when you first arrive in Tibet. Hot water will speed up blood circulation and aggravate high-reflex symptoms. Moreover, the temperature difference between morning and evening in Tibet is large, and it is easy to catch cold when taking a bath or washing your hair, so you must keep warm.
5. If you can drink hot water, drink as much hot water as possible, and the symptoms of hyperactivity will be greatly reduced.
6. Be sure to eat. If you feel uncomfortable, you should also eat something.
7. The sunshine in Tibet is strong. It is recommended to take sun protection measures when traveling, such as: sunglasses, sunscreen, and sun hat.

9. Slight dizziness, chest tightness, and headache are all normal reactions. Keep a good attitude. If the pain is really bad, you can take some painkillers. Headache medicine such as ibuprofen must be available. When Gao Fan has a headache, don't try to take it by yourself. However, when choosing medicines, you should consider the stimulation of the medicine to the stomach, and try to take the ones that are less irritating. After all, you can’t eat anything when you have a headache.
10. When you arrive at the hotel, please open the windows for ventilation. Try not to open them too much to avoid catching a cold.
11. Tibet has a large temperature difference between morning and evening in summer. It is recommended to bring a slightly thicker coat and sweater for adding clothes in the morning and evening. In addition, short sleeves, thin sweaters, shirts, long skirts, thin down jackets, etc. need to be prepared in advance depending on the itinerary. It is possible to experience four seasons in Tibet in one day.
12. Ladies are not allowed to wear short skirts, shorts, vests and other revealing clothing when entering the temple.
13. If you want to watch the performance of Princess Wencheng, please pay attention. The location of the performance is outdoor. Please wear more clothes when you go to watch the performance, so as not to catch a cold. If you don't bring it, you can rent a cotton coat on site.
