【Tibet in the sky is beautiful in action】
July is a very good season. I went to Tibet, which I miss so much.
Tibet in the sky and Ali in the sky are sacred places for me, not only the beautiful natural scenery, but also the top light of humanistic belief.
From the peak dream of Shigatse to the ultimate Ali. Every day, you need to breathe with your eyes and discover with your heart, and your ankles will grow wings and fly to the distance that is close at hand.
People who are closest to the sun live here, moving Tibetan songs in the snowy region are sung here, and there is a paradise lost in the mortal world here.
Set foot on the G219, which is full of changes, and embrace the avenue with infinite mountains. You will meet Gang Rinpoche, the center of the world, the ancient ruins of the Guge Dynasty, the colorful Zada soil forest, the holy and magnificent repeated mistakes, the magical and unique sky tree, and the natural and vivid wildness mainland. You feel like all of a sudden you love life, and all of a sudden you know how to live your life well.
This is Tibet~

From the north to the south, there are endless beautiful scenery along the way. I have traveled nearly half of China's borders, seen the cultures of different ethnic groups in China, and appreciated 5 peaks above 8,000 meters above sea level, 16 icebergs, and 44 glaciers... Yes A rare "world-class landscape avenue".
"The Avenue of the Country" G219 has infinite mountain scenery and ever-changing scenery. The most worth exploring is the beautiful G219 Tibet section.

Dialogue across time and space.
Due to the time, although we only walked through a part of the route planning, we were already shocked by the scenery of Tibet along the way. On the way back, we passed G317 by the way. We are full of luck and satisfaction. How can there be such a beautiful place in the world? place.
Along the way, I met the blue and magnificent "mistake again and again", met the colorful Zanda soil forest, met Ali's gorgeous starry sky, and met "in the universe".

Symptoms of hypoxia. In severe cases, there will be symptoms such as headache, generalized muscle pain, and insomnia. but that doesn't mean

DAY 1【Lhasa Time】Chengdu—Lhasa
When you come to Lhasa, you must go to the Potala Palace. It is hard to get a ticket in this peak season, so I can only stroll around the square.
Interesting to say, the first time I went to the square, I couldn’t go through the security check because I was carrying a drone, so I had to go back to the hotel to put down all the items in the bag, and then took a taxi back.
I entered the square and wanted to take a picture of the hottest reflection of the Potala Palace. I bought a bottle of mineral water with my friends, and drank a few sips on the way because the weather was too hot. Walking to the front of the square, I poured down most of the bottle of water with great anticipation, but the water beach was not enough to take pictures
, At least two bottles of water are required by visual inspection.
I also remembered that there was a park lake in the square where I could take pictures of the reflection, so I went to the park, but this season was full of trees, blocking most of the Potala Palace, but I still couldn't take pictures. Finally walked to the exit silently, took a lonely
.
——Take a hidden outfit
I yearn for Tibet, but I can't come to Tibet often. In order to leave a unique thought, I also followed Daliu and took photos of Tibetan costumes near the Jokhang Temple. After putting on makeup, I thought, um, makeup is more beautiful than natural
. Let me show you a few pictures, skincare is really invincible...
~
——Tibet Museum
The surprise in Lhasa is to check in the Tibet Museum. You must know that the original Tibet Museum has been closed for five years. This July, the new museum is finally open. Make an appointment to visit decisively.
You can make an appointment to visit the new museum for free. The decoration of the whole new museum is the classic Tibetan architectural style, decorated with red, blue and yellow colors, and the sun shines from the roof. The whole atmosphere makes people feel majestic and full of national flavor.
The new Tibet Museum includes an exhibition display area, a collection storage area, a leisure service area, a cultural relic protection research area, and a comprehensive office area. There are more than 520,000 pieces of cultural relics in the collection, including more than 40,000 pieces (sets) of precious cultural relics.
According to reports, the new Tibet Museum has greatly improved in terms of building volume, cultural relics preservation conditions, and public service facilities. The new museum launched two basic exhibitions, "Long Songs in the Snowy Land - Tibetan History and Culture" and "The Man Closest to the Sun - Tibetan Folk Culture".
Well, without further ado, let’s watch the exhibition with me~
DAY 2 [coarse hair and thick hair] Lhasa-Lhazi
Today is the first day of the official departure of the G219 line. I have made enough preparations and look forward to what I will see on the trip with confidence.
However, there was a small episode, because the power outage in the card processing hall, the border defense cards of the friends could not be processed. Fortunately, after waiting anxiously, I called before noon and completed the border defense permit. It's just that the time for stopping and excursion on the way to Lazie needs to be compressed.
In fact, looking back and thinking about it, today is the easiest day in the itinerary. There is no other extravagance. If you rush from Lhasa to Lazi County, you can catch up with the originally arranged itinerary. Walking through Hecuo along the road, crossing the desert, and seeing the most beautiful sunset is also a very satisfying day.
DAY 3 [Day trip 800] Lazi-Ali
Today is the farthest day of Ali’s trip. We set off from Lazi County to Ali area and stayed in Taqin, Pulan County. The whole journey is more than 800 kilometers, and it’s a bus. We set off early in the morning and prepared to arrive at night, but Didn't expect it to be so late......
Along the way, you cross the mountains, cross the sand dunes, and meet the river. The most accompanied by you is the thorough Tibetan blue. There are beautiful scenery. No matter how high the altitude is, you can’t blow away your inner enthusiasm. Various clouds.
This is Tibet, which shines every moment; because it is Tibet, the beauty is different every minute and every second.
There are golden hills in the distance, and the rays of light flow in front of my eyes
Looking up at the mischievous direction of the clouds, surrounded by mountains
The road always has an end, but the beauty is always blooming~
Because of the long distance and the night road, the driver had to rest for 20 minutes every few hours of driving. This is the 20 minutes, the first time I took pictures of the most beautiful Milky Way starry sky in Ali. It was already 2 o'clock in the morning when we arrived in Taqin the next day. It is said that we cannot continue to drive after 22 o'clock. Our dedicated driver was punished for this time and wrote an inspection. Although the journey is difficult, I still look forward to tomorrow's trip.
DAY 4 [Kang Rinpoche] Taqin - Zanda
——"Ghost Lake" Laangcuo
I can't forget yesterday's night. I arrived at Taqin at two o'clock in the morning, and I was looking forward to meeting the holy mountain and holy lake all night.
Today is finally here. The first stop is Laang Co Lake, known as Ghost Lake, which means "poisonous black lake" in Tibetan. It is located in Pulan County, Ngari Prefecture, with an altitude of 4574 meters. It is separated from the freshwater holy lake all the way. Therefore, neither humans nor animals can drink the lake water, which is probably the origin of the name "ghost lake".
The ghost lake Laang Cuo is the neighbor of the holy lake Manasarovar, the scenery is equally beautiful, and the lake water is also intoxicatingly blue, but it has been dubbed "ghost lake" and entered into another book. In fact, Holy Lake Ghost Lake was originally a lake. After the glacier melted, the debris carried by the glacier accumulated in the middle of the original Great Lake, causing the lake bed to rise. Afterwards, global warming and evaporation exacerbated the shrinking of the glacier, reducing the amount of water supply and shrinking the area of the Great Lake. causing the lake level to drop.
In fact, I don't really like the name of Ghost Lake and Laang Cuo. He is so big and beautiful. The lake is silky, calm and blue, more like the blue skin growing on the earth, soft and gentle, making people want close.
——"God Lake" Mapang Yumco
Mapang Yongcuo is just next to Laang Co, 35 kilometers east of Pulan County and south of Gang Rinpoche Peak. The natural scenery around him is very beautiful. Since ancient times, many people have regarded it as the holy land "the center of the world". It is the second largest natural freshwater lake in China and the freshwater lake with the largest water transparency. One of the "God Lake".
It is also the birthplace of four of Asia's largest rivers. The "sources of the four great rivers" recorded in the "Shangshung Tripitaka, Jushe Lun" recorded in the Yongzhongben religion of the ancient Zhang Zhung Buddhism refers to Mapang Yongcuo, the mother of the holy lake. The east is the Maquan River, the south is the Kongque River, the west is the Xiangquan River, and the north is the Shiquan River.
"Mapang Yumcuo" and "Invincible Jasper Lake", in Tibetan, "Mapang" means undefeated and invincible. Mapang Yongcuo was first named "Ma Chui", or "Ma Chui Cuo" is the name of Guangcai Dragon King in Yongzhongben religion. It is said that Mapang Yongcuo is the most holy lake, the nectar bestowed by Shengle Dazun to the world, and the holy water can cleanse the troubles and obstacles in people's hearts. She is the perfect lake in the soul, she is the real paradise in this universe, the Shangri-La of the gods, the paradise of all things.
Of course, apart from these sacred legends, the beauty of Manasarovar is unmatched. It is said that Tibet has no sea, but she has all the blue in the world. The beautiful Manasarovar, like the clear blue sky, is pure and profound, and it is a beauty engraved in the mind and heart.
——"God Mountain" Gang Rinpoche
After visiting the "God Lake" and "Ghost Lake", we returned to Taqin for lunch at noon. Because it was already two o'clock in the morning when Wanshang arrived in Taqin yesterday, and it was pitch black and nothing could be seen. Today, I discovered that you can see the majestic posture of Gang Rinpoche from any angle here.
Gang Rinpoche is located in Baga Township, north of Purang County, Ngari Prefecture, western Tibet. Gang Rinpoche is the main peak of the Gangdise Mountains, the highest peak in the west section of the Gangdise Mountains (between the Kunlun Mountains in the north and the Himalayas in the south), and one of the four sacred mountains in Tibet. center of".
Gang Rinpoche is 6,714 meters above sea level. The mountain is composed of Neogene glutenite. It is a steep, conical "pyramid-shaped" mountain. Many people speculate that Gang Rinpoche is a pyramid. It is majestic and holy. Now it is the period of the Ali Mountain Turning Conference. Many people have already set off, from day to night, thinking of Gang Rinpoche in their hearts, and turning mountains and waters to stupas.
At sunset in the afternoon, I arrived at the Zanda Forest. I was expecting a beautiful sunset. Unfortunately, the weather was not beautiful. During this period of time, the dark clouds were overwhelmed, forming a sharp contrast with the soil forest in the canyon. There are heavenly soldiers and generals who are mighty and majestic, and there are earth forests which are majestic and vast. Although it is not as beautiful as the sunset, it can be regarded as a rare and extreme scenery picture. Stopped the car for more than half an hour to shoot, and set off for accommodation in Zanda County.
DAY 5 [Guge Dynasty] Zanda - Zanda
Zanda County rested overnight, got up early to go to the ruins of the Guge Dynasty, about half an hour's journey from the county seat to the ruins scenic spot, there are countless earth forests full of strange shapes and historical traces on the road. Arrive at the ticket office of the scenic spot to buy a ticket, and then take the Jingjiao bus to the ruins area.
The ruins of the Guge Kingdom are located on the banks of the Xiangquan River in Zanda County, Ngari Prefecture, Tibet. The Guge Kingdom was founded by the descendants of the Tubo royal family. It began around the 10th century AD. It used to occupy the west of Tibet. It is said that there were 16 hereditary kings before and after. It perished around 1630 AD. Its ruling history lasted for 70 years. It spanned the three dynasties of Song, Yuan and Ming in the Central Plains.
The predecessor of the Guge Dynasty can be traced back to the Zhang Zhung Kingdom. The establishment of the dynasty probably began in the 9th century. It was established after the collapse of the Tubo Dynasty that unified the Tibetan Plateau. By the end of the 17th century, 16 kings had been hereditary. It is a local regime established by the descendants of the Tubo royal family in Ali in the west of Tubo, and its ruling scope covered the entire territory of Ali in its heyday.
The site starts from the bottom and builds up in steps, with distinct layers. It is sacred and majestic from the ground; it is magnificent from the sky. It takes about 3 hours to climb to the top of the ruins of the Guge Dynasty. The weather is hot and the experience of hypoxia at high altitude, so you can be lazy with an aerial camera.
DAT 6 [Zanda Soil Forest] Zanda-Gar
Living in the small town of Zanda for two nights in a row, life is still very comfortable, which gave us a chance to relax our tense schedule. Start today and head to Gar County, the capital of the Ngari region. I passed through Kunsha Daban on the way, and took pictures of the Xiayigou soil forest that impressed me the most.
Xiayigou in Zanda Earth Forest National Geological Park is located in Xiangzi Township, Zanda County, Ngari Prefecture, Tibet. It is one of the many fine scenic spots in Zanda Earth Forest. It has not yet been explored and developed, and no tickets are charged. The original landscape is very real. beautiful.
The lower part of the Xiayigou soil forest is layered with gravel and loess, and the uppermost layer is a layer of iron ore. After long-term wind and rain erosion and rain erosion, a special structure of large, medium and small is formed. It looks like mushrooms, giraffes, camels, and generals from a distance. , beauties, etc., are all strange and lifelike. Because it contains a large amount of ore, the colors are mainly yellow, red and blue. When the light is good, the colors are very rich.
How to describe it? There are thousands of ravines and colorful, which are hundreds of millions of years of history. There are many high platforms in the central area. Because they have not been developed, most of them are trampled out by humans. No matter which piece of soil forest you stand on, you can see the beautiful landscape. Standing on top of the soil forest, it feels as if you are in an alien planet. Traveling through hundreds of millions of years, you can have a panoramic view of the magnificent and beautiful scenery. If you come to Ali, it is really a pity if you don’t look at the soil forest and walk through Xiayigou.
DAY 7 [Salt Sheep Ancient Road] Gar - Gaize - Geji Salt Sheep Ancient Road
Today's itinerary is from Gar County to Gaize County. Through Geji County, I learned that this is the famous "Salt Sheep Ancient Road". It is said that more than 1,000 years ago, Lumarenbu Co, Jiga Co, and Kaqing Co formed the largest "salt lake" in western Tibet, and it was later called "Three Zhangcang Lakes". The local people in Yanhu Township, Geji County, Ngari Prefecture put the collected natural salt into woolen woven bags, transported it to Shigatse, India, Nepal and other places, and exchanged it for daily necessities such as tsampa, brick tea, etc., and gradually formed the famous "Salt Sheep Ancient Road" ".
With the passage of time, the "Salt Sheep Ancient Road" has long lost its original transportation value and has become a historical relic, but the tradition of salt mining in Qiangmai Village, Yanhu Township still continues.
Driving on the road, you can see the huge salt lake from a distance, and the crystals under the sun are thickly covered with the surface of the lake, which is almost invisible at a glance. Now that this season has passed the time of salt mining, you can walk into the salt lake and touch this natural gift of nature up close.
——Wumacuo Three-color Lake
Tonight I will stay in Gaize County. I am driving on the road in Wuma Township near the afternoon. I have to say that in Tibet, no matter where you go, there will be blue sky and white clouds to follow, accompanied by snow-capped mountains and lakes.
In Tibet in July, the breeze is not dry, the azure lake is crystal clear, yaks lie down leisurely by the lake, and the distant mountains are rolling. The most beautiful scenery in your eyes is the most common state in Tibet.
Wumacuo is a scenery that must not be missed on the road of G317. You can see its peculiar existence on the map navigation from a distance. Large and small lakes are clustered together, so you can get there immediately and take a peek. Exactly the idea.
Three different shades of green and blue come together, and a long road passes through them, extending to the endless distance. You can think about that picture, it is a strange and strange scene that you have never seen before. There are many famous lakes in Tibet, but Wuma Co is definitely the most unique one.
DAY 8【Tree of the Sky】Change—Bangor
——Sky Tree
This is the scene of our departure in the morning. In order to get to Bangor County as soon as possible, we got up early in the morning. On the road, we met an unknown Hucuo. It happened that the sky was orange, and it was about to rise. It was another beautiful day.
Traveling in Tibet is very popular recently, and what is even more popular is the tree of the sky in Nagqu. The route 317 has been specially checked for the route, and this uncommon beauty is right in front of you.
The altitude of Nagqu, the harsh living environment, and the difficulty for plants to survive. On the barren land, except for the blue lake, the flowing water flows naturally, forming a natural tree of the sky and a tree of the earth. The branches are luxuriant and lifelike.
You have to admire the magic of nature, and you have to fall in love with the magic of Tibet. Of course, if you want to see this beautiful masterpiece between heaven and earth, you must bring an aerial camera. You can’t see such a beautiful sky tree on the ground.
Finally, the exact location of the Sky Tree is here
The Sky Tree is located on the south bank of Dazecuo, Cuozhe Luoma Town, Shuanghu County, Naqu City, at milestone 2442 next to the aisle 317, 32 kilometers away from Cuozhe Luoma Town, and 30 kilometers away from Nima County.
—— Selin Co
After walking past the magical tree of the sky, we can see the blue and magnificent Sering Co, which is the largest lake in Tibet and the second largest saltwater lake in China. In Tibetan, it means "the devil's lake reflected by the majestic light". It is located in Bangor County and Shenza County at the northern foot of Gangdise Mountain.
Surrounded by mountains on all sides, Selincuo has a vast area of the lake basin. There are mountains in the lake, lakes in the mountains, surrounded by mountains and water, and there are various customs. The blue-green color of the lake makes the blue sky pale~
There is a toll booth at the entrance by the road, and the price is not expensive. You can drive in for ten yuan per person. However, I still didn't take the usual way, and walked along the blue to a low hillside, not to save the ten dollars, but because I could see the unique location here from a distance, and I could take better and more beautiful pictures.
It's still a bit strenuous to climb up here, so don't worry if you walk slowly. Most of the ends of the short hills are rugged rocks, so be sure to pay attention to safety. This is the hillside on the right side of the toll entrance. There are few people and the scenery is beautiful. You can have a panoramic view of the colorful sea and sky. From time to time, birds fly over your head and hares shuttle around your feet.
——Bangor Starry Sky
I have been talking about the shooting of the starry sky for a few days, and finally arranged it in Bangor County. Due to the weather and the urgent schedule, I have not taken a good shot of the starry sky. It is really a pity not to shoot the starry sky when I come to Tibet.
Departed from the hotel on time at 11:00 p.m., and found an open space a little far from the county town, far away from light pollution, in order to take bright and clear stars.
Although it was approaching the early morning, there were still occasional vehicles passing by on the road, which was also very annoying. Fortunately, I finally took some satisfactory pictures.
The starry sky in Nagqu is dazzling, and the Milky Way is shining upside down. You must keep the punch-in photo. For several friends with the same style, each of you should keep one as a souvenir.
DAY 9 [Tengri Sea] Nagqu - Lhasa
On the last day of the G219 trip, and also the last eye-catching time, I came to Namtso, one of the three holy lakes in Tibet.
Namtso is a Tibetan language, also known as "Tengri Sea", which means "heavenly lake". (Forgive me for the tidyness of the travel notes, the name of this paragraph is Tengrihai
)
Namtso is really too beautiful and big. If you want to see its whole picture, the old rule is to fly the aerial camera and take a horizontal panorama first.
Namtso Lake is backed by the Nyainqentanglha Mountains. The ice and snow on the mountains are replenished after melting, and there are many large and small streams flowing along the lake. The lake water is clear and transparent, and the lake surface is sky blue.
Under the cover of white clouds, the light and shadow of the snow-capped mountains in the distance flowed, and a time-lapse material was also shot.
There are many tourists by the lake. They have the experience of riding a horse to swim in the lake, and they can also take pictures with cute lambs in their arms, but I am not very cold about these. Looking at the blue lake and the holy snow-capped mountains, I just want to stare quietly into the distance and enjoy the comfortable peace of Namtso.
In the last check-in photo, I lowered my head and meditated. I forgot what I was thinking at the time, or maybe I didn’t think about anything, just enjoying the moment quietly.
【Finally I want to say】
In the end, I would like to say that it is really a lucky thing to be able to come to Tibet, to take the G219, and to meet in Ali. No matter how high the altitude is, no matter how difficult the environment is, what you see and get along the way is not worth mentioning. On the contrary, getting "stuff" is much more valuable than what you bear. Perhaps, this is the charm of Tibet.
From yearning to realization, it can be a long time or a short time, depending on your attitude and action. In a month's time, I walked through most of Tibet. Looking back, only Shannan and Linzhi have not arrived. It is a pity and a longing.
Looking forward to meeting again, the never-ending Tibet, and the unforgettable Ali.
I remember the behind-the-scenes tidbits of "Kang Rinpoche" saying that there is no way of life in this world that is completely correct...The sacred mountains and holy lakes are not the point, accept the ordinary self, but do not give up ideals and beliefs, Love life, we are all on the road.
Yes, only on the road will it arrive.
Tibet in the sky is so beautiful~
