Hiking alone to Xincuo, 7.29 kilometers round trip in less than three hours||Xincuo round trip takes a steady 3 hours, with an elevation gain of 15 meters, the highest point being 3830 meters. Came to Nyingchi just for Xincuo, I don't recommend you follow my special forces travel style. Lhasa-Nyingchi, arrived at 15:24, picked up the car at the station and headed straight to Xincuo, arrived at Xincuo Inn at 19:57. Note, the navigation on the map is not accurate for this Xincuo Inn. When you see the Xincuo Bridge, don't cross it, it's on the left-hand side, in the yard with signs for a restaurant and supermarket. The accommodation environment is average, as there is only one place to stay, so there's no choice. The room is damp and cold, with an electric blanket. If you don't turn it on, it's cold; if you do, you'll get a sore throat after a night. The hot water takes ten minutes to get slightly warm. The next day, set off for Xincuo at 8:00. After crossing the Xincuo Bridge, there is a row of yellow houses, which is where the motorbike and horse riding start. You can see red motorbikes, but there were none at my time. The motorbikes are four-wheeled, similar to ATVs, and quite stable. Walk through the small path between the motorbikes, and you'll see the river and grassland. Keep walking forward, and when you see the forest, you're not far from the destination. At 8:56, you need to walk through a section of waterlogged road to reach the forest entrance. You can walk on the pile of stones on the right side of this road. The water didn't reach my shoe soles, and walking on it won't get your shoes wet. At 9:24, I reached the destination, 3.59 kilometers, taking 1 hour and 21 minutes. After walking through the forest, I saw a blue food truck, and further ahead is Xincuo Lake. When I arrived, there was still morning fog. At 9:42, the morning fog drifted away. What I saw was still the limited edition; what they saw was the sunny version. About Xincuo sanitation fee: I didn't see anyone, nor did I know who to pay, so I didn't pay. Suggestions for solo female hikers: I suggest starting after 9 am because the forest you must pass through is a bit eerie when the sun hasn't shone in. On the return trip, it's different when the sun is out. It's best to hike with a companion. There's a section in the forest with no signal, and at an altitude of over 3800 meters, altitude sickness might occur. If you want to see the morning fog, it’s around 1 degree Celsius when you set off in the morning, so it's quite cold. I recommend wearing a fleece under a windbreaker. If you start at 9 am, you don't need it; the sun is warm. I wore a windbreaker on the return trip, which was just right. When I was walking back, people coming from Basongcuo arrived one after another. The accommodation at Basongcuo is better than at Xincuo. The scenery is beautiful with or without morning fog. At 11:00, left Xincuo for Nyingchi, returned the car at 15:30, and arrived in Lhasa at 21:00. Don't complete it in one day like I did. It's best to spend one day at Basongcuo, set off for Xincuo the next morning, return to Basongcuo in the afternoon, and then start the next destination. In conclusion: Xincuo is worth it. Every casual shot is a beautiful scene, a must-visit spot in Nyingchi.

Did you know? There is a secret place in Tibet called Xin Cuo, so beautiful it tugs at your heartstrings. Some say it is Tibet's hidden fairyland, worth another journey to the plateau! Don't you want to unveil its mysterious veil? Xin Cuo, a jade-like lake seemingly isolated from the world, surrounded by snow-capped mountains and shrouded in mist, feels like stepping into a fairyland. The lake's water is crystal clear, reflecting the blue sky, white clouds, and continuous snow mountains, making every photo a potential wallpaper. Moreover, the scenery along the trek to Xin Cuo is breathtaking, leaving one reluctant to leave. Whether you are a photography enthusiast or a nature explorer, Xin Cuo can fulfill all your fantasies of beauty. Embark on an impromptu journey and let your soul find true release in this pure land!

Stayed overnight at a guesthouse in Jiebavillage, breakfast at 8:00 the next day. At 8:30, drive to Xincuo Station. Leave Jiebavillage, the road to Xincuo is uphill to the left and behind, 27 kilometers, the dirt road has continuous pits, curves, and narrow paths, so it takes 70-80 minutes to drive. Along the way, you will see Luochi X Bridge, and when you see Bridge No. 6, it is dawn. Parking at Xincuo Station is free. The watch showed an altitude of 3670 meters when getting off the car. There is a fee at the entrance, 10 yuan per person for the entire hike, which is a sanitation fee. Motorcycles and horseback riding are both 200 yuan, and horseback riding for 200 yuan is very cost-effective (in Lulang, 100 yuan is only 30 minutes). I was determined to hike, so I gave up horseback riding. The road during the hike is as shown in pictures one and five, and you will see the scenery in sequence as shown in the pictures. Pictures 7 and 8 are the core attractions, and then return. The watch measured the total distance as 5.8 kilometers.

Xin Cuo in July is incredibly beautiful, with views of snow-capped mountains, lakes, forests, waterfalls, and pastures. If you are worried about adapting to the high altitude in Tibet, it is strongly recommended to choose Xin Cuo as your first stop. ▫️ Travel Guide: ✅ There is no public transportation to Xin Cuo, it is recommended to rent a car for self-driving. ✅ The road to Xin Cuo is a 30km bumpy road, commonly known as the "chassis no return road," small cars should be cautious, it is recommended to use a high chassis SUV. ✅ Summer is the rainy season in Xin Cuo, it is recommended to bring waterproof hiking gear. ✅ Tickets are 10 yuan per person (sanitation fee), the hiking distance is about 3km, no climbing, low difficulty. ✅ There are inns and restaurants in Xin Cuo, but the conditions are poor, it is recommended to eat and stay in Jieba Village. ▫️ 🚗🚗🚗Navigation: Directly navigate to Xin Cuo, located 30km within Jieba Village, Basongcuo.
