Yamdrok Lake: The lost emerald in the world, the fascinating blue temptation under the snow-capped mountains

📍Address of the attraction: In Langkazi County, next to Provincial Road 307, Gonggar County, Shannan City, Tibet Autonomous Region. 🚗 Transportation to attractions: After entering Tibet, you can take a long-distance bus from Lhasa to Langkazi County, and then transfer to a local taxi or motorcycle to Yamdrok Lake; it is recommended to learn about the flight information in advance 👍️ Must-see attractions: 1. Observation deck: There are several observation decks near Yamdrok Lake, which are great locations for taking pictures of the lake view. Among them, the Karola Glacier Observation Deck is the most famous, from which you can enjoy the entire view of Yamdrok Lake up close. 2. Rito Monastery: Known as the "loneliest monastery in the world", it is located on a peninsula on the north bank of Yamdrok Lake. There is almost no one living around the temple, and only a gravel road leads to the island. Climbing to the temple on the top of the mountain, you can have a panoramic view of the entire Yamdrok Lake. 3. Lujila Observation Deck and Kaqingla Mountain Observation Deck: Basically, except for the north bank, these are the best vantage points where you can enjoy the layered views of Yamdrok Lake. 🎟️Tickets: Normally it is 120 yuan per person, but sometimes the scenic spot will have a promotional price of about 60 yuan per person, depending on the specific situation. 💗Other tips: Spring, summer, autumn and winter are suitable for travel. 🍔🫔🫕Food recommendations: Tsampa, butter tea, yogurt, Tibetan chicken, Lasong noodles, Zhaxi fruit, Tibetan curry rice and yak skewers, etc. These foods are not only delicious, but also allow people to have a deeper understanding of Tibetan culture. 🏚️Accommodation: Langkazi County (the closest county to Yamdrok Lake) is recommended. There are many hotels and inns to choose from, with moderate prices and relatively complete service facilities.
