How far is it from Lhasa? Fly in the clouds for 6 hours.

About Lhasa, I always have too many things to say. This city of sunlight contains too much of my beautiful imagination. This autumn, I finally set foot on this affectionate land again. This time I want to start a deep self-driving tour Traveling on the North Ring Road, the road is still long, and gentle things will definitely happen, and it is a kind of sincerity to take it slowly.

My love and excitement made my travel farther and farther. This in-depth walk around Lhasa is a journey I have been looking forward to for a long time.

The Lhasa North Ring Road connects the most magnificent landscapes around Lhasa along the way, bringing together the most wonderful cultural and natural landscapes in Lhasa. It is praised by experts as the golden sightseeing route with the most abundant landscapes and compact routes on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.

【About Labei Ring Road】

The Labei Ring Road is divided into: a main line, two auxiliary lines, and four branch lines.

The Lhasa North Ring Road is a golden landscape route around Lhasa. It is roughly a northeast-oriented rectangle and administratively includes all the districts and counties of Lhasa.

The main line of this line is: from Lhasa, down the Lhasa River, until Qushui enters the Yarlung Zangbo River Valley, up the river to the mouth of Nyimu Maqu River, and then along this river through Nyimu and Ma River to the vicinity of the source of the river, over the snow Gula Mountain Pass (5454 meters above sea level), enters the southwest-northeast Yangbajing-Dangxiong Kuangu Basin. Then, turn southeast at Dangxiong Ningzhong, go down along Ulu Longqu (Dangqu), and go down along Zhigong Zangbo at Linzhou, until Mozhugong Kanima River turns southwest. Continue down the Lhasa River and return to Lhasa via Mozhugongka and Dazi.

The main line of Labei Ring Road is about 800 kilometers. Route: Go west from Lhasa, go out of Duilongdeqing, pass through Qushui, pass through Nimu, go to Damxiong, then go southeast, take Linzhoumozhu, pass through Dazi, and return to Lhasa.

There are also 4 branch lines and two auxiliary lines on the Labei Ring Road: a branch line from Damxiong to Namco at the east end of the northwest section, and a Pangduo line in the northeast section leading to Rezhen Temple along Rezhen Zangbu, Zhigong Zangbu to Mozhugongka Nimajiangre is two branch lines along Xuerong Zangbo to Zhigongti Temple, and a branch line in the southeast section from Mozhugongka along Mozhuqu, National Highway 318 to Mila Pass.

Inside the ring line, there is a secondary line from Lhasa to Yangbajing and Linzhou.

Because the entire Lhasa North Ring Road is centered around Lhasa, the traffic is still very convenient. During this trip, I returned to Lhasa to stay in the middle of the trip, and then took other auxiliary lines. The inaccessible mountains and ups and downs are dedicated to the Labei Ring Road that I love.

1 Jokhang Temple and Barkhor Street

There is still a long way to go, and gentle things will definitely happen. Taking it slowly is also a kind of sincerity. Lhasa is a poem and a distant place that many people yearn for. It is 3650 meters above sea level and has more than 3000 hours of sunshine throughout the year. It is also known as the city of sunlight. When many people talk about Lhasa, they will say that this is a city lacking in oxygen but not lacking in faith. When traveling in Lhasa, everyone will come to Barkhor Street for a walk immediately.

Ever since I came to Barkhor Street for the first time, I have fallen in love with the atmosphere here. Every time I come to Lhasa, the first stop of my trip must be Barkhor Street. Walking among the people who turn around, the sun shines on my body. There is indescribable freedom and comfort.

Barkhor Street has a long history, and 1300 years of precipitation have given this old street a different Tibetan style. The original street here is just a single turning around the Jokhang Temple, which is called "Holy Road" by Tibetans. Now it has gradually expanded into a large area of ​​old-fashioned old blocks around the Jokhang Temple, which is a must-see for everyone who travels to Lhasa.

Barkhor Street is a famous turning point and commercial center in Lhasa, where the classic Tibetan style and modern small shops are perfectly integrated. It is the dream of many travelers to see many people who come to travel and take photos, wearing Tibetan costumes, and taking a set of photos on Barkhor Street.

After checking our ID card, we first entered the square of the Jokhang Temple. There are a lot of pilgrims in the Jokhang Temple. In the evening, it is also very spectacular to start turning the scriptures. The correct way of pilgrimage is to circle the Jokhang Temple clockwise as the "turning scriptures" , expressing worship to the Sakyamuni Buddha statue enshrined in the Jokhang Temple. I walked among the crowd of pilgrims, and my inner feeling was also different, with a kind of solemn and solemn piety.

Barkhor Street is a must-go pedestrian street for visitors to Lhasa, and it is also a place full of stories. Many literary and artistic youths will fall in love with this place when they come here. One of the classic check-in spots on Barkhor Street is Dabing’s Hut.

I don’t know how many people know Dabing’s House, this small bookstore on Barkhor Street, has a special kind of tranquility, passing through the long passage, the house is bathed in sunlight, with open bookshelves, there are There are all kinds of books that young artists like, and there are postcards on the whole wall. If you want, you can spend a whole day in a daze here.

On the bustling Barkhor Street, there are many unique small shops. Thang-ga is my personal favorite. When you walk into a small shop on the street, you will be isolated from the hustle and bustle of the outside world. Thang-ga is also It is called Tangga, Tangka, which is a transliteration of Tibetan, and refers to religious scroll paintings that are mounted on colorful satin and hung for worship. Thangka is a unique painting art form in Tibetan culture. The subject matter involves many fields such as Tibetan history, politics, culture and social life. Painting Thangka requires a lot of patience. At this time, people’s The heart must be quiet.

When you come to Barkhor Street, many people will come to Maggie Ami. There are stories about Tsangyang Gyatso and Maggie Ami here. It is the love that many people yearn for. Because most of the buildings on Barkhor Street are white, only At the southeast corner of Barkhor Street, there is a two-story building painted with yellow paint. Not only are there many people eating, but also those who come to travel and take pictures like this yellow wall. You can often see many travel photographers.

Come to the third floor of Maggie Ami, choose a seat by the window, you can see the people coming and going on Barkhor Street, today I came with two friends, and ordered the dishes recommended on the Internet, It is a feeling to come to Maji Ami to eat, but the dishes here are also good.

Eating authentic Tibetan meals, drinking buttered tea, and watching the people coming and going on the street, this kind of time is leisurely and beautiful.

The story of Maji Ami is like this. It is said that Tsangyang Gyatso traveled all over the entire Tibetan area in search of the supreme savior Tara. One day, when Cangyang Gyatso was resting in a tavern on Bajiao Street in Lhasa, a girl as beautiful as the moon lifted the curtain outside the door and looked into the tavern. Such a beautiful picture made Cangyang Gyatso never forget it, and wrote The beautiful poem that has been handed down to this day: On the top of the eastern mountain, the bright moon rises, and the face of Maggie Ami gradually emerges in my heart. This is also a beautiful story between Tsangyang Gyatso and Maggie Ami. Giami restaurant, many tourists come here, they will come here to have a meal, to see the scenery, to feel, there is also a story between you and Magiami, this is a kind of feeling.

At dusk, when the lights gradually turn on and the sky is still blue, it is the best time to shoot the scenery of Barkhor Street. Every afternoon, people who come to the pilgrimage begin to walk strictly clockwise along this circular road. .

At ten o'clock in the evening, walking on Barkhor Street, the long stone road, the figure is drawn long, the evening breeze is blowing, the heart is quiet and beautiful, I like to walk quietly and calmly, time becomes very slow here very slow.

Guangming Teahouse is also a place where everyone will check in when they come to Lhasa. Here you can experience the authentic Tibetan life. You can drink a bowl of buttered tea for 1 yuan, and you can drink it to warm your body. If you come with friends, you can also order a pot of tea. 10 You can drink for half a day for a pot of 1 yuan. The consumption here is not high, and many Tibetans like to come here to chat and drink tea.

Barkhor Street is full of styles. The blue sky and white clouds turn the crowd, which is a flowing scenery. The original style of the ancient city of Lhasa is preserved here. The streets are paved with hand-polished stones, and there are old-fashioned Tibetan houses next to them. No matter how you take pictures, you can’t get enough of them. No matter how you take pictures, they are all good-looking.

Sitting quietly on a corner of Barkhor Street basking in the sun, looking up to meet the smiling face of the Tibetan old man opposite, this kind of time in Lhasa is the reason why I like it here, you ask me how far away, I think this is what Lhasa looks like at the moment .

2 Potala Palace

Living in the Potala Palace, I am the biggest king in the snowy region.

Wandering on the streets of Lhasa, I am the most beautiful lover in the world.


In Lhasa in September, there was a slight drizzle, and I walked into the Potala Palace to realize a dream that has been going on for many years. All encounters need time to brew before they can be fulfilled.

Back to Lhasa, back to the Potala Palace. Everyone who likes Lhasa has a different feeling for the Brah Palace. When traveling in Lhasa, everyone feels that if they don’t take pictures in front of the Potala Palace, it seems As if you have never been to Lhasa, what kind of story does the Potala Palace have?

This autumn, it was the first time I walked into the Potala Palace, into this long-awaited castle-style complex. The Potala Palace was built in the 7th century. It is a landmark building in Lhasa and the tallest building in Lhasa. The building was originally built by Zamp Songtsen Gampo of the Tubo Dynasty to marry Princess Wencheng of the Tang Dynasty. The main building is the White House and the Red Palace.

When we buy tickets for the Potala Palace, we need to make an appointment in advance. Only when the appointment arrives can we change the official ticket. When visiting the Potala Palace, we must remember to pay attention to the dress. We cannot wear short-sleeved shorts. It is forbidden to take pictures in the indoor part. Wear a hat and follow the rules.

Although it is raining, we are still very happy to get the tickets. The off-season tickets for the Potala Palace (11.1-4.30) are 100 yuan per person, and the discount ticket is 50 yuan. Tickets in peak season are 200 yuan, and discounted tickets are 100 yuan. In special circumstances, there will be normal benefits. For example, before March this year, there was a free ticket promotion.

Many people came to Lhasa and took pictures in front of the Potala Palace, which proves that they have been here. In fact, we should go into the interior of this palace to feel the magnificent atmosphere. The total construction area of ​​the Potala Palace is 13 More than 10,000 square meters, the main building is 117 meters high, with a total of 13 floors, including palaces, pagoda halls, Buddhist halls, scripture halls, monk houses, courtyards, etc. It is the highest and largest castle-style building complex in the world today. , is also the tallest building in Lhasa.

When visiting the Potala Palace, I suggest that you still listen to the tour guide’s explanation, otherwise there are many stories and sayings in it, and you will not understand the reason if you take a look at it by yourself.

1300 years have passed, and the Potala Palace has an irreplaceable position in people's hearts. Walking in the Red Palace, the solemn and solemn atmosphere, the huge gilded treasure building and the red prayer flags reflect a strong Tibetan style, and everything is full of In addition to the sense of mystery, what amazes me the most is that the stupas of Buddha statues here are all made of gold and jewels.

The toilet in the Potala Palace is known as the toilet with the highest altitude. It was built at an altitude of 3,700 meters, with a height difference of about 60 meters. It's really clean.

Many people will wonder why the Potala Palace always looks bright and bright? Every year around the Tibetan New Year, the Potala Palace will undergo a new painting. The Potala Palace is called "the sweetest palace" because milk, sugar, honey, brown sugar etc.

There are countless treasures in the Potala Palace, and a large number of extremely rich historical relics are collected and preserved. Among them are more than 2,500 square meters of murals, nearly a thousand pagodas, tens of thousands of statues, and tens of thousands of Thangkas; there are also precious scriptures such as the Bayeux Sutra and the Kanjur Sutra; The emperors of the Ming and Qing dynasties who were related to the central government bestowed the Dalai Lama with gold books, gold seals, and jade seals, as well as a large number of gold and silver products, porcelain, enamel, jade, brocade forgings, and craft treasures. These cultural relics are colorful and rich in themes. So many people say that in the Potala Palace, gold is the least valuable thing. Walking in the solemn and solemn hall, the jewelry in front of you is amazing, even the butter lamp is made of pure silver.

To paint the Potala Palace, in addition to professional personnel, there are also many local Tibetans who are voluntary to participate. They need to sign up and review in advance before they can come to be volunteers. The raw material for whitewashing the White House is mainly white ash, which is produced in Yangba, Damxung County. Well, it has the characteristics of no impurities, smooth, strong viscosity, easy to dry, and not easily damaged by rain and sunlight.

When I saw the White House up close, I still felt very excited. The annual tradition of dressing up the Potala Palace has lasted for more than 300 years. The scouring of this precious Tibetan-style ancient building is protected, which is why the Potala Palace we see every year is brightly colored.

In the Potala Palace, I met a cat, because it was raining when I came, and the color washed down by the red palace wall of the Potala Palace also made this cat a lovely pink, see When pedestrians pass by, he is not timid at all, and enjoys his time leisurely, which is really likable.

From the outside, the Potala Palace has 13 floors. In fact, there are only 9 floors. The altitude is 3,700 meters, and the height of the main building is 117 meters. Because it is a plateau, we should pay attention to safety when we visit. The speed of climbing the stairs is slower, as the highest in Lhasa. The building overlooks the panorama of the entire Lhasa. Rows of houses are set against the snow-capped mountains and white clouds in the distance. The lake in front of you is pure. Stand quietly and breathe deeply. In Lhasa, you can feel the charm of the city of sunshine.

The whole visit process takes about 3 hours, because there are many people who come to the Potala Palace every day. When we visit the Red Palace and the White House, there is a time limit, generally controlled within 1 hour, and indoors It is not allowed to take pictures. If you go out of the room, you can play freely outside, and it is also a good place to take pictures.

The rich history and culture and the unique Tibetan style have endowed Potala with too much meaning. There are many stories about Potala. Only when you arrive in person, the answer will be slowly revealed in front of you.

3. Dadong Village

At this stop of the self-driving trip on the Labei Ring Road, I came to Dadong Village, which is located in the valley. The endless mountains and ups and downs are dedicated to this small, independent village like a peach blossom garden.

Dadong Village is a thousand-year-old village. In the long history, it still maintains an unhurried pace of life. You can feel the quiet environment and simple folk customs here. The ancient buildings are built on the slopes on both sides of the valley, surrounded by mountains and water, like a paradise away from the hustle and bustle.

Dadong Village is an ancient village with stories. It is known as the most beautiful village in Lhasa. Cangyang Gyatso lived here for three years. Up to now, there is still Cangyang Gyatso Manor in the village, which is located among the majestic green mountains. The front is full of Gesang flowers.

The hot springs in Dadong Village are very famous in a radius of ten miles. I am surprised that there are hot springs here. It is 138 yuan per person. It is in the valley, enjoying the blue sky and white clouds, and the breeze blowing in the mountains. Life is a blessing. No more than this.

The story of Cangyang Gyatso made me curious about this thousand-year-old village. The former residence has now become a ruin, stubbornly silent in the vast nature, witnessing the past figure and footprint of Cangyang Gyatso , Today, there is an ancient walnut tree in Dadong Village. Cangyang Gyatso once wrote affectionate love poems in front of this tree. If you like Cangyang Gyatso, you can look for this tree when you come to the village.

The Gesang flowers in autumn are very beautiful. Lhasa Dadong Village is a Tibetan-style village located in a hidden valley in the southwest corner of Lhasa. It is one of the most well-protected ancient villages in Tibet. I especially like the natural environment here, pure Simple, people are willing to slow down the pace of travel.

It is a very happy thing to pass Linka in Dadong Village. The white tents beside the mountain stream are specially built by local Tibetans to pass Linka. Linka in Tibetan refers to gardens and forests. It means that after the long winter on the plateau, the short summer comes, with bright sunshine and warm wind. For Tibetans living on the plateau, it is the most precious season of the year. They cherish the gift of nature. At this time, Tibetans People came out of their homes one after another, brought some food, and came to the densely shaded Rinca to have a good time with their families.

Going through Linka is the favorite way for Tibetans to go on vacation. In the tents by the Qingxi River, everyone sits together and sings in Guozhuang. When tourists come to Dongda Village, they can also go through Linka with the locals, or rent it by themselves. A white tent of a local, I lived here with my friends in Rinka. When I came, I met Tibetan children in the village playing by the stream. When I took a photo with them, the children were very cooperative. To run to see the photos in the camera.

White clouds flow between the rolling mountains. After thousands of years, Dadong Village in the valley still maintains the slow rhythm of the years, like a paradise, quietly fragrant. The autumn scenery, the sky is high and the clouds are light, the houses Still, a peaceful pastoral scenery.

4, Junba Fishing Village

When traveling in Tibet, you will always find surprises inadvertently. This time, when we drove to Qushui County, Lhasa City, a small village isolated from the world aroused my strong interest. This is the Yarlung Zangbo River Junba Fishing Village, a small village near the confluence with the Lhasa River.

Many people are very unfamiliar with Junba fishing village. This is because in the past years, Junba fishing village lived an isolated life due to traffic congestion. I am also full of curiosity about the fishing village in Tibet, because we all know , Tibetan people believe in Tibetan Buddhism and have the custom of water burial, so they worship fish as their ancestors and gods, and they do not eat fish for life. Then, why does Junba fishing village make a living by fishing?

Walking into Junba Fishing Village on a sunny day, I searched along the small roads in the village with curiosity. This is a very ordinary small Tibetan village, with small courtyards with white walls and red tiles, where people live freely.

The cowhide boat in the corner of the village made me very curious. The local people said that it was a means of water transportation for the Tibetans on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau in Tibet, and it was also a tool for the people in Junba Fishing Village to survive. The cowhide boat dance in Junba Fishing Village is full of ethnic The dance with special and local characteristics is a national intangible cultural heritage. Finding the joy of life under difficult living conditions is the way for people to live in harmony with nature.

When I came, it was after one o’clock in the afternoon. The local children were still very curious when they saw strangers coming. When I took out the drone to take aerial photos, they surrounded me excitedly and asked me if this was a drone. With the completion of two bridges and one tunnel, the current Junba fishing village is no longer closed. The children are educated and read, and are connecting with the outside world. When I said I wanted to take pictures of them, they readily agreed.

The drone flies to an altitude of more than 300 meters to overlook the Junba fishing village. You can see a Buddhist temple on the mountain in the distance. The children in the village say that they often climb to the top of the mountain and stand on it to overlook the entire Junba fishing village.

White clouds flow in the mountains, and the quiet Junba fishing village has also undergone tremendous changes year after year. We hope that after seeing the prosperity of the world, they can still maintain simplicity and nature. This is what we hope most The years I saw were quiet and good.

Wu, Qiongmugangga Snow Mountain

Self-driving the North Ring Road is an interesting and challenging thing. Along the way, you will encounter completely different scenery, such as snow mountains, glaciers, roads with nine bends and eighteen bends, and Tibetan villages hidden among the mountains, not to mention the scenic spots. The scenery, that is, the scenery on the road will make people feel very excited. The endless vast distance seems to have no end, but it makes people feel peaceful inside, as if this is what travel should be like.

Today we came to a snow mountain located in Majiang Township, Nimu County, Tibet. This is the Qiongmugangga Snow Mountain, which is called a sacred mountain by the Tibetans, but many tourists don’t know it. It is a small tourist attraction that is easy to miss, and It's still free here, so don't miss it if you take the North Ring Road.

Fortunately, when I came to Qiongmu Gangga, the weather was very clear. Driving in Tibet, as long as the weather is good, I can always see good scenery. Qiongmu Gangga means "Goddess of Wisdom" in Tibetan. ", 7048 meters above sea level, is the last peak at the southern end of the Nyainqentanglha Mountains. It is one of the 12 sacred mountains in China. It is about 140 kilometers away from Lhasa. At the foot of the mountain, the scenery you look at is already very visually impactful.

Few tourists come to Qiongmugangga Snow Mountain, and many monks from Lhasa temples will come to visit the mountain. The altitude of 7048 is a great challenge for many mountaineering enthusiasts. According to data records, after the 1990s, only After 4 successful climbs to the summit, we ordinary tourists here basically walk at an altitude of 5,500 meters above sea level, which is a little higher than the 5,200 meters in the Everest Base Camp. It is really not easy to climb up.

The beauty of Tibet's high altitude is extremely sunny. In the autumn when I came, the grass was full of decaying grass, but there was no feeling of bleakness. On the rolling snow-capped mountains, a few white clouds floated leisurely, just like adding some bright colors to my lens. Climbing towards the snow-capped mountains, although it is difficult, my heart is full of joy.

Along the way up the mountain, you can see the mani piles piled up by the local Tibetans. Some of them can be seen with six-character mantra written on them, and some are stones on the mountain. Generally, you can see many of them in the holy mountains and holy lakes. Praying for blessings, the white clouds are very low and seem to be within reach. When I go up the mountain, there will be occasional rain, and the microclimate in the mountains is unpredictable, but it doesn't affect my mood at all.

The terrain conditions of Qiongmu Ganga are relatively complex, including ice walls, ice-rock mixture, rock walls, snow bridges, snow cornices, hanging glaciers, dangerous avalanche areas, etc. Shooting a time-lapse video here is very cool and requires a lot of Patience and time, sometimes our travel is not just to look around, but to calm down to feel and enjoy, this is the meaning of our travel.

Hiking at a high altitude of 5,500 meters is not an easy task, but when the beautiful scenery appears in front of you, you will feel that all the hard trek is worth it. There is a deep blue lake hidden in the depths of Qiongmugangga Snow Mountain. This is a lake made of ice and snow. The four major water systems of Lhasa River, Nimumaqu, Xiangqu and Namtso converge here. The snow mountains and holy water nourish each other, creating the unique blue ice wonderland of Qiongmugangga Snow Mountain. Only those who are destined can see it.

Here I also met masters who came here from Lhasa to go around the mountain. They are very used to hiking at high altitudes. The red monk clothes under the fluttering prayer flags also look full of sacredness. I greeted them with a smile, and they resolutely go far.

Standing on the vast plateau, the head-on hula-la wind blows my cheeks. At this moment, my heart is extremely stretched. You will forget all the worries in the world of mortals, let yourself go, take a deep breath, and let yourself enjoy the warm sunshine here and the uniqueness of the plateau. beautiful view.

The road of travel goes farther and farther. During the journey, we will meet many like-minded friends. We will be excited because of a photo and a time-lapse. People who love to travel are probably broad-minded people who are willing to share , There is also a calm state of mind when we get together and leave.

The beautiful Qiongmu Gangga Snow Mountain is a shining pearl on the Labei Ring Road, quietly silent in a corner of the earth, waiting for more self-driving enthusiasts to explore and discover.

Lu, Namco

The real travel is not to go to novel places, but to have a pair of eyes to discover beauty. This autumn, I set off from Lhasa and walked the Lhabei Ring Road by myself. During my favorite journey, I went to find and meet, and Namtso is the place I have always been longing for. I think that everyone who has dreamed of a distant place has a A Namtso, the color is clear blue.

Before arriving at Namtso, I was praying in my heart, hoping to have a good weather. Namtso is the highest lake in the world, and it is also a poem and a distant place that many people yearn for. The lake is 4718 meters above sea level, and the weather is clear.

Namtso in autumn is fantastic and dreamy. Nyainqentanglha Mountain, located in the south of Namtso, complements the blue lake, seagulls, yaks, and big clouds. At this moment, time seems to have stopped.

When you come to Namtso, take a scenic sightseeing bus to the Tashi Peninsula. On the way, you will stop to take pictures when you pass the black tent viewpoint. Namtso is located in the central part of the Tibet Autonomous Region. It is the second largest lake in Tibet and the third largest saltwater lake in China.

Seeing the classic welcoming stone on the Tashi Peninsula, we knew we were at the lakeside. We all know that there are three holy lakes in Tibet, namely Manasarovar, Namtso and Yamdrok. The altitude of Manasarovar is nearly At 4588 meters, it is one of the highest freshwater lakes in the world, and Namtso is the highest saltwater lake in the world. Many tourists come here to offer khata and wish blessings.

Standing on Namtso Lake, looking at the snow-capped mountains in the distance, the seagulls will not panic at all when they see people coming, they are playing leisurely and leisurely, and the picture in front of them is intoxicating.

Namtso is known as the goddess of the plateau. The purity and serenity here is a symbol of the plateau. Now the Namtso mentioned by our travelers can be divided into two parts, one is the Tashi Peninsula, which is also a place where travelers will come, and the other is the holy elephant Tianmen. , an Internet celebrity check-in point that has only become popular in the past two years. Tickets for the Tashi Peninsula can be purchased at any time. The Holy Elephant Tianmen needs to be booked three days in advance. This time I came directly to the Tashi Peninsula.

The yaks on the shore of Namtso Lake are very eye-catching. They are specially dressed by local Tibetans for tourists to take pictures. Generally, it costs 10 yuan per person to take pictures. Just pose as you like. Behind you is the rolling Nyainqentanglha Mountains. White clouds float on the snow-capped mountains year after year, and everything is as beautiful as a dream.

In Namtso, I took a special aerial photo of a spherical shape. Doesn’t it look cool? Namtso has a very long history. According to geological survey data and scientific investigations, the Namtso area belongs to the Lhasa terrane, with the Precambrian continental crust forming the basement at least 1 billion years ago. After a long period of time, it accreted to some On the Qiangtang terrane, I have a dialogue with such a long time. At this moment, I just want to let myself go and walk by the blue lake.

Traveling to Namtso, if you want to appreciate its beauty more deeply, you might as well stay here for one night. If you are lucky, you can take pictures of the beautiful Sunshine Jinshan Mountain during the day, the sunset in the evening, and the golden sky full of colorful clouds. Intoxicated by the beauty, there is also the starry sky at night, the stars are shining, the sky and the earth are vast and beautiful, the lake of Namtso is 4718 meters above sea level, and it is more than 70 kilometers long from the east bank to the west bank of the lake. There are endless beautiful scenery along the way.

If you have plenty of time, you may wish to drive along the Namtso Lake Ring Road. The Namtso Lake Ring Road is about 300 kilometers, and most of the roads are similar to the dirt roads on the Ali Dabei Line. The scenery along the way is very beautiful. Due to time, I did not Take a walk, it’s a pity, let’s come again next time to achieve consummation.

Because the altitude of Namtso is relatively high, when you travel to Tibet, you can get used to it in Lhasa and then come to Namtso. The wind here is relatively strong, so you must pay attention to the cold and keep warm. If you want to ride a yak to take pictures, you must negotiate the price with the local Tibetans before riding oh.

When we arrived in Namtso, the weather was clear. After filming and returning to the car, there was hail. The climate change here is really amazing. I will drive on the North Ring Road, next stop, see you on the road.

7. Kuoqionggangri Glacier


In this world, the real beauty never makes a fuss or seeks attention. It needs us to find, capture, and see it, just like this September, when I met Kuoqionggangri Glacier, this time I drove on the Labei Ring Road, I walked in some scenic spots around Lhasa in depth. Many niche scenic spots have excellent scenery, but there are not many tourists.

The Kuoqionggangri Glacier is the closest glacier to Lhasa and can be reached by car. It is located in Geda Township, Damxung County, adjacent to National Highway 304, and 160 kilometers away from Lhasa. When our car bumped all the way to the Kuoqiong Gangri Scenic Spot, I knew that the touch of nature had far offset the hardships of the journey.

After entering the gate of Kuoqionggangri Scenic Area, we still have to walk a very original winding mountain road. The snow-capped mountains and glaciers in the distance seem to be close in front of us, but they are very far away. Towards the direction of the snow-capped mountains, we bumped forward, feeling in our hearts Full of anticipation, I don't know what kind of surprise the next encounter will be.

The blue sheep encountered on the road was the first little surprise this time. Flocks of blue sheep were scattered on the hillside to graze, and the color was similar to the rocks in the mountains. It is easy to miss if you don’t look carefully. This is also the precipitation of blue sheep over the long years. Under the protection of themselves, they don't seem to panic about the arrival of tourists, they graze and play on their own. The pure beauty of nature, because of the addition of these small animals, has infinite aura.

When the glacier appeared in front of my eyes, I still felt extremely excited. The Kuoqionggangri Glacier is a combination of glaciers, lakes and meadows. It is a unique natural eco-tourism area, and it is also a glacier that can be reached by car. Many Travel enthusiasts will also come here to take wedding photos.

Sometimes, I feel that nature is really amazing. The glacier has a clear boundary. Climbing along the footprints of the people in front, the cold wind blowing on the face makes people shiver. Looking around, it is covered in silver, This is at an altitude of 5,500 meters. People who have never been to plateau areas may feel a little uncomfortable when they come up. At this time, they must adjust their state in time. As long as they feel relaxed, I think it is still possible. Down jackets should be Essential clothes.

Climbing on the glacier is not easy, but I still try my best to climb to higher places as much as possible. I have a natural love for the vast scenery of nature. The more I go up, the more open my mood is. Surprisingly, it is still possible to take aerial photography here.

Opening my arms, I welcomed the wind blowing on the glacier with joy. This autumn, when many cities were still wearing short sleeves, I was standing on the glacier at an altitude of 5,500 meters in a down jacket, with blue sky and white clouds above my head. Gently hold the crystal white snowflakes in your hands, with a different coldness. At this moment, there are some words in my heart, let's not talk about it, lightly describe the long time, sing in a low voice, and miss the Dagu Glacier. Float in your direction.

The ticket for the Kuoqionggangri Glacier is 149 yuan, and you can go back and forth on the same day. To be honest, the glacier is more difficult to climb. It is best to prepare trekking poles in advance. Gao Haibo exercise should be done according to your ability. If you feel uncomfortable, don’t just climb up blindly. You can come down early, and there is another very important reminder. On the glacier, I saw cigarette butts and the lid of the oxygen bottle. I hope that each of us should pay attention to environmental protection, start from ourselves, and protect the gifts that nature has given us. , beauty, we need to maintain together.

Coming down from the Kuoqionggangri Glacier, we rushed to the next stop of the journey, pulling the pure natural scenery on the North Ring Road, and bringing us into the most primitive beauty of nature. As long as we feel it with our hearts, we will gain a different experience. travel.


8. Exploring the secrets of Zayeba Monastery

The Zhayeba Temple in Lhasa was built in the 7th century AD and has a history of 1,500 years. In the rain in Lhasa, it takes a lot of courage to climb from an altitude of 4200 to a temple at an altitude of 4400. I watched the clouds and mist in the mountains diffuse over the White Pagoda, and the Zayeba Temple on the cliff has the beauty of a secluded fairyland. Zhayeba Temple is tightly embedded in the crevice of the cliff. According to legend, it is a practice temple built by Mansa Chijiang, the Tibetan princess who left the blood of Songtsan Gampo. Here we can also see Songtsan Gampo practicing meditation. cave.

After climbing to the temple halfway up the mountain, you can see that the roads of the temple are very narrow. It took a lot of perseverance and time for the ancients to build temples in such a mountain. Zayeba is full of natural aura. An architectural wonder created by human power.

The cloud-shrouded mountains, the cool air, and the temples decorated in yellow and white all make Zayeba Temple look quiet and solemn among the mountains and forests. This four major hermit temples in Tibet still maintain their ancient habits and have nothing to do with the world. In the 11th century, Atisha, an ancient Indian eminent monk, wrote books and lectures here. There are his former residence and practice cave here. Lari Ningbo Mountain has aura because of the Zayeba Temple.
