preamble
Tibet, this magical place
People who have been here love and hate it
Love because of its beautiful and vast scenery
Hate is because of the high anti-reaction people are deeply tortured
Using: "The eyes are in heaven, the body is in hell" is really a perfect fit. Although there is a lack of oxygen here, there is never a lack of faith. If one day you feel tired of life, just come here and take a look, nature will heal all unhappiness by itself.
Some people say that a person has to go to Tibet at least twice in his life, one time to leave his heart there, and the other time to find it back. And since I went with my friends for the first time, I have fallen in love with this land crazily. In the spring, summer, autumn and winter, I chose to visit again. In August of this year, Brother Zhou asked us if we would like to drive to see it again? I chose to follow without hesitation.
Nagqu, the place I once dreamed of, in the dream it was surrounded by blue, white clouds became its clothes, and the green hills turned into its shoulders. . The last trip mainly went to Sapu Mountain and the Holy Elephant Tianmen, but this time I chose a more in-depth niche route. With curiosity in my eyes, I set off on the road excitedly, Nagqu Day in the Polar Region, here we come again!
The loneliest temple in the world - Rito Temple
At the beginning of our trip, we came to the mysterious and pure land-like Rituo Temple. It is known as the "loneliest temple" in the world. It has a history of more than 600 years. It looks like an isolated island in the water from a distance. The lake is blue. very dazzling. Here we can look at the deepest part of Yanghu Lake from another angle. We walked around the temple to touch the traces left by time, feel the beliefs of people on the plateau, and hope that the Buddhas on the plateau can bless us for a smooth and safe trip. .
There are mountains in the distance, and the Bobo stream on the plateau is introduced into Yanghu Lake. The pollution-free water quality constitutes this lake that looks like a mirror beside the clouds, as if it can penetrate people's hearts. We walked slowly around the weedy path, and fell into the blue dream together.
I think that the Tibetan people living here must live a very comfortable life. They can come here to talk with nature in their spare time and immerse themselves in the most extreme scenery. Their simplicity and innocence and the smiles on their faces made us travelers feel different kindness. The shepherd by the sheep lake is raising cute little lambs, like children, feeding and playing on the grass carefree.
Swimming along the lake is really like breaking into a pure natural dreamland, like the Garden of Eden that no one has discovered. In the mountains and by the river, every stone is like a "forbidden fruit" full of temptation, which makes people want to possess it. Even if it's just throwing stones by the river, looking at the blue is refreshing. It is said that this is a secret realm that 99% of people have not set foot in, and I am lucky to be one of them.
In the afternoon, we chose to go straight up to Dangxiong to rest for one night. At this time, the altitude was close to 4,300 meters, and the sequelae caused by not adapting to the high altitude reaction were splitting headaches. It is recommended that friends who go to Tibet must take Rhodiola rosea or other anti-hypertensive medicine in advance to relieve the discomfort during the journey. Of course, they can overcome it by their own willpower like me, and usually they can adapt in about three days. That night, we met the dreamy sunset glow, which filled us with joy. We ate a meal of mutton soup pot to replenish our strength, and slept soundly.
Let’s start your journey to the sky from Nagqu, the polar region
The next day, I came to the familiar Nagqu as promised, it is really suitable for self-driving! Along the way, there are almost no other tourists except our car. The extremely beautiful scenery has given us infinite scenery along the way. Along the way, I raised the camera in my hand, clicked and clicked, just wanted to record these wonderful moments passing by in front of my eyes.
Rolling sea of clouds, sparkling water waves, rolling mountains and endless grasslands are whistling past in front of your eyes...
The weather is beautiful and everything is lush. Listening to the music played in the car, people can't help but want to sing a song at that moment.
The scenery on the roadside always brings endless surprises. We saw many cute little animals against the blue sky of white clouds. This kind of carefree life deeply attracted us. When we stop, we will meet a group of cute yaks. Sure enough, yaks are more suitable for the plateau. The farmers herding the cattle did not avoid our framing, and the eyes of the calf were also full of curiosity, all of which appeared so indifferent to the world.
Across rivers and grasslands, black and white dotted cows are still the most eye-catching. If the cows don’t eat grass, why should the grass be so green? If the white clouds are not so clear, why should the mountains rush to the sky? We are more eager to catch up with time and want to reach Nagqu sooner.
The most beautiful home flavor, Nagqu Beef Rice Bowl
The wind slid across the colorful flags and brushed over the fingertips, bringing us a different tone of plateau towns. I finally arrived in the urban area of Nagqu, and my stomach was already hungry. As we all know, the beauty of a place can keep a person's heart, and the food of a place can naturally keep a person's stomach. A friend who works in the local area specially came to receive it and said that he would take us to eat the best beef rice bowl in the area. We chatted and learned that the yaks here are naturally unrestrained, live by water and grass, breathe pure air, drink glacier mineral water, and grow slowly. Concept and culture form the unique Nagqu Beef Rice Bowl.
The "Zhemu Karmu Teahouse" we came to is a veritable online celebrity treasure restaurant in the local area. Although the area is small and the decoration is not as luxurious as those in big cities, it is simple and full of ethnic characteristics. The owner of the store is a local Tibetan lady in 1996. Although she is young, she is very capable! After graduating from university, he started this restaurant, and won the honor of "Gold Medal Craftsman" in the "Looking for the Most Beautiful Local Taste - Nagqu Beef Rice Bowl" competition and won the first place.
Being able to eat the Nagqu Beef Rice Bowl she made, presumably the exhausting travel along the way will be resolved.
We also observed it in person, and saw her selflessly showing us how to make beef rice with the taste of Nagqu using the most traditional cooking method. Watching the sliced beef tossing and turning in the pot, the juice splashing everywhere, gradually changing from bright red and transparent to dark red and curly, a breath of soul-stirring aroma comes to the nostrils, the beef rolled down from the pot, and the white rice Also very appetizing. In the end, they were put into a small square plate with simple patterns, which is really eye-watering.
She told us that the combination of yak meat and Naqu's unique "Ben Aguru" and "Xia Ze" seasonings gave this rice bowl an extraordinary soul. The original taste is maintained, it is chewy and not greasy, making people unable to stop chopsticks with every bite. It may be a daily meal in the eyes of the locals, but for us it is a delicacy in the world, and it is the most unmissable gift on the northern Tibetan Plateau. It is a perfect match with sweet tea! There are also a variety of other delicacies in the small shop, and the price is very affordable. Friends who travel here should not miss it!

In Bangor at an altitude of 4680, a vision descended from the sky, like a space-time tunnel
After eating and drinking enough, and replenishing physical strength, the car continued to go to Bangor at an altitude of 4680 meters. After dinner at night, an incredible scene suddenly descended from the sky. The evil double rainbow was so miraculously reflected in the sky. The time tunnel is like the last train at dusk waving to us, which makes people feel surprised and delighted.
The clouds are connected one by one, and the sky seems to be galloping, and our thoughts are also drifting to the distance... This kind of scene that can't be met is really rare, and it is simply unforgettable for a lifetime. Tibet is really a magical place!
Selincuo, the largest lake in Tibet, the Devil's Lake
On the third day, the footsteps of exploration continued to move forward, the car was driving, and what was whizzing past was a series of measures and measures, and the overwhelming beauty made us intoxicated and enjoyed everything that nature gave. .
Later, I arrived at a lake that I was looking forward to the most. It was called "Selincuo". It was connected to the sky like a huge sapphire inlaid in this land. I have always been curious about the Tibetan language, and I found out its meaning, "the devil's lake that shines brightly". For such a beautiful lake, I don’t know why the Tibetans gave it such a horrible name, but human nature is like this, the more curious, the more you want to get closer, and the more you want to find out.
Selincuo is the largest lake in Tibet and the second largest saltwater lake in my country. Its blueness and depth may resemble the eyes of the devil. People are shocked by the existence of this lake. Standing in the distance, they can even dream of matching its skin. hold.
Looking at the side of Selincuo, I left a beautiful moment belonging to me at that moment, and I hope it will last forever.
It is so harmoniously and perfectly inlaid with this piece of land, which brings me very quiet enjoyment. The vast grassland is engulfed one by one by the clouds, and the grass and creatures are all over the ground. They are so in love with each other, and the sky and the earth are fully integrated at this moment.
Finally, we found a grassland a little later and closer to the lake to prepare for a picnic, but we experienced an episode. Because the nearby soil was too soft, we got stuck in a no-man’s land at an altitude of 4,800 meters. Not working! After all, everything was not so smooth, causing a group of people to be in a hurry, and they tried everything to no avail.
After four hours of futile work, we finally waited for the "rescue angel". It was really exciting to see this tall and mighty excavator coming to our side as if stepping on colorful auspicious clouds, and it was pulled out in less than a few seconds. nah! The local Tibetans who helped call the car kept asking us: "Are you happy? Are you happy?" Hahaha, I silently remembered this goodness in my heart. I just hope that the charge will be cheaper next time. After all, the 1000+ Grandpa Mao will be gone after one rescue. Brother Zhou said that his heart is bleeding, and the price of this picnic is too expensive. Fortunately, everything is safe, otherwise, after dark, the consequences will be unimaginable, and it is quite scary to think about it now.
Leaving the no-man's land, on the way to Nima County, we encountered an auspicious illusion again, like walking into an unreal fairy tale world, leaving behind a full block. Sure enough, the most extreme scenery is all in places that are inaccessible!
The dusk on the plateau is extremely romantic, and the birds in the distance enjoy the most leisurely time of the day by the pond. The rocks by the lake are exposed, and the flushing of the sky is better accepted. This scene makes people mesmerized.
There are wild calls everywhere beside the road, and the horses are stepping lightly, and their neighing can be heard clearly from a long distance. This day is also the day we see the most wild animals of all kinds.
Tibet's deepest lake Dangre Yumcuo, the most important sacred lake of Bon religion
The continuous high mountains are an indispensable landscape on the plateau, but the interlaced lakes are an indispensable fulcrum. The snow-capped peaks surround Selincuo, and there is another famous lake in Tibetan areas—Dangre Yumcuo. The sacred domain known by the locals as the Holy Lake. This is the deepest lake in the whole of Tibet and the most important sacred lake of Bon religion.
Surrounded by mountains on three sides, there is only a gap on the east side of Darguo Mountain, which constitutes a large ranch for captivity. We walked along the mountain road, experiencing the beauty of the mountain lake with few people, and we also made the most sincere prayers to this sacred lake in our hearts. The pure blue is deep and quiet, and it is a place that you will fall in love with once you come here. Along the way, you can see snow mountains, Tibetan antelopes, buried wild donkeys, groundhogs, hares...
From different angles, this lake presents a different beauty. The mountains in the distance are like pyramids facing Dangre Yongcuo. It is said that the mountains, rivers and lakes in this area are the sacred beliefs of the local people.
After circling the lake, we successfully found the exit without navigation, and we were secretly delighted. The risk of no man's land continued to polish our ambitions, and the journey became more and more courageous. The mountains are gentle, and there seems to be endless risks at all times. The steep mountain roads alert us to the difficulty of this trip, and at the same time affirm the value of beauty.
The white snow on the mountain peak and the green grass along the road are our last farewell, which makes people want to look back a few more times. On the way back to Lhasa, Brother Zhou took us to successfully challenge the high altitude in our hearts. The 5646-meter Zhongla Mountain drew a perfect end to our journey.
Goodbye, Tibet, Goodbye, Nagqu! Good memories will be kept in my heart forever, and I look forward to discovering more beauty in the days to come!
