Ladies! I’m calling it: Sijinlatso is the most worthwhile "God of Wealth" holy lake near Lhasa. 💥 It’s a cornucopia-shaped alpine lake with snow-capped peaks and blue waters. No border permit is required, and it’s an easy day trip. 💰 👇 Here is the complete guide—save it now! Basic information (must-read) 📍 Full name: Sijinlatso (Tibetan for "God of Wealth Lake") 📍 Location: Riduo Township, Maizhokunggar County, right next to G318. Search for "Sangri County Sijinlatso Tourist Center" in your navigation app (Amap is more accurate!) 🏔 Altitude: 4,500 m. Watch out for altitude sickness 🚫☕️ ⏰ Hours: 9:30 AM–6:30 PM 💰 Admission (2026 update) · Peak season (May 1–Oct 31): 50 yuan/person for non-local tourists; 25 yuan in off-season · Sangri Tourist Center entrance: Often free admission, free parking, and better facilities · Discounts: Half-price for students and seniors aged 60–70; free for seniors over 70 and military personnel ✅ Border permit: Not required! The entire route is inside the G318, so you're good to go Self-drive route (top choice from Lhasa) 🚗 Route: Lhasa city center ➡️ Ya-Ye Expressway (towards Nyingchi) ➡️ Exit at Riduo Service Area ➡️ Turn onto G318 ➡️ Turn right when you see the colorful rainbow road surface and drive 6 km to reach the scenic area. Total distance is about 124 km, 2-hour drive. Two entrance options (important) 👇 1️⃣ Maizhokunggar Riduo entrance (next to G318): Admission required. It's a 25-minute hike up a small hill from the parking lot to the lake; horse riding is also available for 50 yuan one way 2️⃣ Sangri Tourist Center entrance (recommended 👏): Flat wooden boardwalk straight to the lake. Often free admission. Features charging stations, a small shop, and better spots for panoramic drone shots Two main ways to play (praying + photography) 📿📸 1. Prayer ritual (core custom of the God of Wealth Lake) ✅ Walk clockwise around the lake, only an odd number of laps (1 lap is best). Counter-clockwise is strictly prohibited ✅ Build Mani stones, hang prayer flags, and scatter Lungta by the lake. You can offer a Khata to make a wish; locals use this to pray for wealth and blessings ✅ Key spot: Wealth-seeking stone. Circle it 3 times to make a wish. The 15th day of the 6th month of the Tibetan calendar is the grand sacrificial ceremony, where successive Living Buddhas come to offer gold and silver 2. Two lake-loop hiking routes (choose based on your needs) · Short leisure route (best for beginners, 3 km, 1.5 h): Walk half a lap along the wooden boardwalk, visiting only the core lake bay. Easy and relaxing, great for photos 📷 · Full loop (8 km, 3–4 h, only for those with good stamina): A full circle around the lake. Includes gravel and meadow sections. It's windy and cold. No supplies along the way, so be sure to bring hot water and snacks 🧭 Best photo spots & times ⏰ ✅ Golden light: 9:00 AM–11:00 AM. Front lighting makes the lake look jewel-blue, and the snow mountain reflection is clearest ✅ Sunset 5:00 PM–6:00 PM: The lake surface is covered in golden light, creating a perfect atmosphere ✨ 📸 Photo spot list: 1. Hillside viewing platform (overlooking the cornucopia-shaped lake, best for drone shots ✈️) 2. Clusters of Mani stones + colorful prayer flags by the lake (great for portraits 🤳) 3. Calm shallow water in the lake bay, perfect mirror reflection Best season 🍃 1. June (peak beauty): The lakeside is covered in purple alpine rhododendrons and blue poppies. Wildflowers blanket the meadows, the lake is deep blue, and there are fewer crowds 2. Sept–Oct: Golden meadows, quiet autumn scenery, very few tourists 3. Winter (Dec–Mar): Half-ice, half-lake. Blue ice cracks, a snowy wonderland, perfect for niche photography. Watch out for icy roads ❌ Rainy season (July–Aug) is often cloudy, and the lake water can look gray. Try to come on a sunny day Altitude sickness & gear tips (crucial) ⚠️ 1. Altitude is 4,500 m, altitude sickness is very likely: Walk slowly, no running or jumping. Bring oxygen bottles and glucose. Don't start hiking immediately upon arrival; sit by the lake for half an hour to acclimate 2. Weather is changeable, windproof and warm: It's windy during the day, so bring a windbreaker and hat even in summer 🧥. UV rays are extremely strong; sunglasses and high-SPF sunscreen are essential 3. Mobile signal is weak in the lake area; download offline maps in advance. No food or drink available by the lake; bring your own snacks and hot water 4. Drones: Aerial photography is allowed in the scenic area. The view from the hillside overlooking the cornucopia shape is excellent 🎬 Classic 1-day self-drive route (from Lhasa) 🚗 Plan A (Sijinlatso only, easy round trip) Day 0: Depart Lhasa at 7:30 AM 09:30 AM arrive at Sijinlatso, 3 hours for lake loop, photos, and prayers 1. 00 PM picnic by the lake 2. 30 PM return, back in Lhasa by 5:00 PM. The whole trip is relaxed and unhurried Plan B (combine with other G318 attractions) Lhasa → Sijinlatso → Jiama Valley (birthplace of Songtsen Gampo) → Stay in Maizhokunggar; next day visit Drigung Til Monastery + Dezhong Hot Spring for a 2-day loop Tips to avoid pitfalls 🚫 1. Make sure to distinguish between the two entrances in your navigation: Searching "Sangri Sijinlatso Tourist Center" on Amap is easier; Baidu Maps often leads to the Maizhokunggar ticket office 2. Negotiate horse riding prices in advance to avoid disputes; most tourists can just hike down 3. Do not step on Mani stones or prayer flags. Do not throw coins into the lake. Use only Khata or barley to pray, and respect local customs 🙏 4. The lake looks gray on rainy days, don't waste your trip. Check the weather for Mila Mountain before you leave Summary in one sentence 💬 Sijinlatso is the closest "God of Wealth" holy lake to Lhasa, featuring a cornucopia-shaped lake, snow mountain reflections, and mountains full of Mani stones. It's most beautiful in June when rhododendrons are in bloom. No border permit is needed, and it's an easy 1-day self-drive round trip. Come on a sunny day, walk clockwise around the lake to pray, and you'll get amazing photos 📸 I can combine Sijinlatso, Yungbulakang, and Khajue Monastery into a 3-day Shannan self-drive itinerary.

Avoid pure cotton, as it stays wet and cold after sweating, which can lead to hypothermia. Mid layer: Fleece jacket or thin cashmere sweater for basic warmth. Outer layer: 3-in-1 jacket or a lightweight down jacket with 60-80g of down fill. Windproofing and waterproofing are key. Essential accessories: SPF50+ high-protection sunscreen, wide-brimmed sun hat, and polarized sunglasses. Autumn UV intensity is 3-5 times higher than on the plains, so physical sun protection is more effective than sunscreen. Pair with a brightly colored ethnic-style shawl for great photos and extra warmth. ⚠️ Key autumn travel tips ‌Documents‌: You must bring your ID card. For areas like Everest, Ali, and Medog, you need to apply for a border permit in your hometown or after arriving in Lhasa. ‌Altitude sickness prevention‌: Do not engage in strenuous exercise for the first 2 days after arrival. Avoid washing your hair or taking a shower to prevent colds, which can trigger high-altitude pulmonary edema. Prepare glucose oral solution and portable oxygen canisters in advance. If your resting blood oxygen level drops below 90%, rest and use oxygen immediately. ‌Ticket booking‌: Potala Palace peak season tickets cost 200 yuan and must be booked 7 days in advance via the official mini-program to avoid arriving without a ticket. ‌Other tips‌: The autumn climate is extremely dry, so carry lip balm and body lotion, and drink plenty of water every day. Nighttime temperatures at high-altitude mountain passes can drop to around 0°C, so you must bring a thick down jacket if you plan to stay overnight at Namtso or Everest.

🚩 I. Basic Information (Woka, Sangri, Shannan) 📍 Address and Navigation Search directly for: **Qulong Qusang Temple** (Do not confuse it with the Qusang Temple in Lhasa!) Address: 100 meters east of Qulong Temple, south of the Woka Township Government, Sangri County, Shannan City ✅ Navigation: Qulong Qusang Temple (⚠️ Important! There are two temples with the same name, so make sure you go to the right one) 🎫 Admission: Free! Free! Free! 🕐 Hours: Open all day, but the main hall is open from 9:00 AM–5:00 PM 💡 Try to visit during the day, as monks go into retreat in the evening ⛰️ Altitude: Approximately 4,100–4,200 meters. Remember to move slowly and watch out for altitude sickness ⏰ Recommended visit time: 1.5–2 hours (to visit both temples) 🅿️ Parking: There is a free parking lot on the west side of the temple; you can drive directly to the temple gate 🏛️ Temple History: A "founding" level site for the Gelug school! In 1393, Master Tsongkhapa meditated here in retreat for 3 full years! He completed 360,000 full-body prostrations and received a prophecy from Manjushri Bodhisattva As the old saying goes: "First came Qulong Temple, then Ganden Temple" This is the birthplace of the Gelug school 🔥 · **Qulong Temple**: The main site where the Master practiced and taught discipline · **Qusang Temple**: The retreat site where the Master specifically practiced the Amitayus (Longevity Buddha) 🔥 II. Core Highlights (Must-see sacred sites!) [Qulong Temple (Main Temple)] 1. Prostration Sacred Stone: The marks left by the Master after performing 3.5 million full-body prostrations; the temple's most prized treasure! 2. Mandala Offering Stone: A natural stone slab used for mandala offerings 3. Meditation Cave: The retreat cave on the mountain behind, where the Master attained enlightenment 4. Sacred Horse Specimen: A specimen of a divine horse with a cow horn growing from its right ear; truly miraculous! 5. Main Hall: Statues of Master Tsongkhapa and his eight disciples, with the Manjushri seed syllable naturally appearing on a stone slab [Qusang Temple (Small temple next door)] 1. 999 Amitayus Tsa-tsas: Hand-molded by Tsongkhapa himself; he fell ill upon completing the 999th one; the temple's most prized treasure! 2. Thirty-five Buddha Hall, the Master's throne, and the footprint stone overlooking Tushita Heaven 3. Rock Sacred Site: Marks left by lice from a monk's robe that ran into the rock; a well-known miracle in Tibet Visiting order: Visit Qulong Temple first, then walk 100 meters to Qusang Temple. The two temples are connected, so no need to drive. 🚗 III. Transportation Guide (Self-driving is best, no shuttle buses) ✅ Self-driving route (Highly recommended) · From Lhasa: Lhasa → Tsetang (Shannan City) → Sangri County → Woka Township → Qulong Qusang Temple Total distance is about 230 km, 3.5 hours by car · From Tsetang: Tsetang → Sangri → Woka, about 70 km, 1.5 hours Asphalt roads lead directly to the gate. Standard SUVs/sedans can make the trip, but there are many curves, so remember to slow down · Along the way: Woka Hot Spring is only 8 km (20-minute drive) from the temple. Plan to visit the temple first and then soak in the hot spring—it's relaxing! ❌ Public transportation (Not recommended) There are buses from Tsetang Bus Station to Woka Township, but they are very infrequent Once you reach Woka Township, you still have to hire a taxi for the 8 km trip up the mountain. It is not cost-effective; it is better to charter a car or drive yourself 🗺️ IV. Classic One-Day Itinerary (Woka Loop) Option (One-day round trip from Lhasa) Lhasa → Tsetang → Sangri → Qulong Qusang Temple (2 hours for pilgrimage) → Woka Hot Spring (1.5 hours soaking) → Gongdelin Grassland → Return to Lhasa Two-day trip (In-depth) D1: Lhasa → Tsetang → Sangri → Woka. Visit Qulong Qusang Temple in the afternoon, soak in Woka Hot Spring in the evening, and stay at a Woka pasture guesthouse D2: Wode Gongjie Snow Mountain → Zengqi Temple → Sijin Laco (God of Wealth Lake) → Return to Lhasa 🏡 V. Accommodation and Dining 🏨 Accommodation (Two choices) · Woka Township: Pasture guesthouses and family homestays. Conditions are simple, but it is convenient for staying nearby to visit the temple in the early morning and watch the sunrise over the snow mountains · Sangri County/Tsetang Town: More hotel options with hot water and oxygen supply, making it safer for altitude sickness 🍜 Dining There are only a few small Tibetan restaurants in Woka Township. It is recommended to bring your own dry food and hot water Tsetang town has a full range of restaurants, including Sichuan and Tibetan cuisine ⚠️ VI. Travel Rules (Take note!) 1. Dress code: Long sleeves and long pants! Shorts, short skirts, and off-the-shoulder tops are prohibited. Attire inside the main hall must be modest 2. Photography: Photography is strictly prohibited inside the halls; you may photograph outdoor architecture and mountains. You must obtain permission before photographing monks; do not take photos secretly! 3. Circumambulation rules: Walk clockwise around the temple and stupas; do not go against the flow. Do not speak loudly, and do not touch Buddha statues or ritual implements 4. Altitude sickness reminder: The altitude is 4,200 meters, so do not run or jump. Have an oxygen bottle ready, and do not rush into the main hall as soon as you arrive; take some time to acclimate at the foot of the mountain 5. Butter: You may bring your own butter. The temple has butter lamps, and you can voluntarily light them as an offering; there is no forced consumption 💡 VII. Tips to Avoid Pitfalls 1. Distinguish between the two Qusang Temples: ✅ Shannan Sangri Woka = Qulong Qusang Temple (Gelug school founding site, pilgrimage destination) ❌ Lhasa Niangre Township = Qusang Temple (Nunnery, famous for peach blossoms, do not navigate to the wrong place!) 2. There are many curves on the mountain road, and some sections can be muddy on rainy days. Try to visit on a sunny day 3. The temple is very small and has no commercial shops. Prepare drinking water and snacks in advance 4. Try to arrive in the morning, as most monks are in retreat in the afternoon and some side halls may be closed 🌤️ VIII. Best Time to Visit · June–September: The grasslands are lush green, Wode Gongjie Snow Mountain is clearly visible, and the climate is comfortable (First choice) · March–April: Wildflowers bloom in the valley, very few tourists, peaceful for pilgrimage · Winter: Beautiful snow scenery, but mountain roads are prone to icing, so drive with caution
