5.20, just a romantic holiday, I am also a romantic person, so I booked a couple-themed room at the Campanile Hotel in advance. I rented a Qoros 5 on Ctrip, planning to quietly surprise my girlfriend. Take her to Yamdrok Yongcuo for a self-driving tour.
I have to say that the couple rooms in the Campanile Hotel are well furnished (with attached photos). It was beyond my expectations and really gave my girlfriend a surprise. The boss who rented a car on Ctrip is also very helpful. I booked the car at 10:00 on May 21, and the boss delivered it at 18:00 on the 20th (the deposit is waived on Ctrip, and the car rental only cost 158 yuan, and the car is also very new).
After I got the car, I went to the Syracuse gas station (20m) next to the Campanile Hotel to fill up the gas, then picked up my girlfriend and went to the Tibet Mandala to eat a green, red, soapy and white skewers (from the hotel). After I came back and checked in, I just opened it There was a romantic atmosphere at the door, so I told her by the way to take her to Yanghu Lake to see the scenery the next day. Girlfriend is also very happy. In the evening, I played two games of Glory of Kings, watched TV for a while and took a rest.
On the morning of the 21st, we had breakfast at the Campanile Hotel at 7:30 (fruit, milk, French sticks, bacon and chicken popcorn, overall it was very rich), and we departed for Yamdrok Yongcuo on time at 8:00 (the hotel parking lot is just There is a large yard behind the hotel), I opened the navigation for about 200KM, and it is estimated to be 2.5H. From the hotel, I drove along Jinzhu West Road to the Liuwu Bridge and turned right, and then I got on the expressway. Along the way, I listened to music, sang songs, and admired the beautiful snow-capped mountains. Gallop along the straight highway. Enjoy this long-lost relaxation.
After driving on the expressway for an hour, I got off the expressway from Qushui, and then drove along the national highway to Yamdrok Yongcuo. In a blink of an eye, I arrived at the Yanghu checkpoint (the health code and driving license ID card will be checked here, and you will also be asked if you are going to Yanghu Scenic Area, if it is, he will let you buy tickets at the nearby ticket office, but if you say you are going to Langkazi County, he will not let you buy tickets, because it is a national highway, so you save another 60 yuan*2 ticket money). After passing the checkpoint, the road is not very good, and it is being repaired along the way. But for old drivers who drive off-road vehicles, it is no problem to drive a 40-60 (note that there are interval speed tests along the way, remind everyone not to drive too fast, after all, safety comes first). After passing the checkpoint, we arrived at the core scenic spot of Yanghu Lake (Yamdrok Yongcuo Observation Deck) in about 20 minutes. We didn't buy a ticket so we didn't go in.
We went to the Langbuqi viewing platform recommended on Douyin. The parking fee here is only 5 yuan, but we can see the same scenery as the scenic spot, or even more beautiful. This is a good place to take pictures and check in. (It is equipped with a small shop, Tibetan travel photos, and you can ride yaks, Tibetan mastiffs, etc.) After we arrived, we took a few beautiful photos. When we looked up, we found that there was still a beautiful sun halo. Under the sunlight, Yanghu Lake shimmered Lin, looks more beautiful and dazzling, like a pure girl smiling at tourists.
Then we went to the third viewing platform (a small island by the lake, which ordinary people still can't find), the location is at the second viewing platform and we drove about 2KM to Langkazi County to make a big U-turn and walk a section of gravel road to reach the lake. The scenery by the lake is even more beautiful. , we walked all the way along the path by the lake, and in front of us was the winding washboard road of the beautiful Yanghu Lake. Behind is the yellow sand raised by the car, because few people are willing to drive this washboard road, so there are fewer people and the scenery is better.
Along the way, we also met people who took wedding photos here. Many people photographed Yanghu Lake on the first and second viewing platforms. I put a picture of the third viewing platform in the back (attached), you can navigate to it, I hope you will find more surprises. When we came back, we didn’t turn back, but went all the way to Rituo Temple and then entered the airport expressway from the other side, which was a new world. The street trees along the way and the highland barley in the fields made me feel like I was in the hinterland instead of Tibet.
After driving back for 2 hours, I returned to the hotel at about 6:00 and took a shower to relieve my fatigue. Lie on the comfortable reclining chair of Compaq, make a cup of Compaq coffee (there is also a special coffee cup), and spend a perfect holiday with your girlfriend. I also met Yamdrok Yongcuo for the first time. When I have time later, I want to take my girlfriend to take measures again, and I hope to recommend and share more comfortable hotels and beautiful scenic spots in Tibet. I hope every trip is a wonderful encounter.
