Yamdrok Lake is a unique natural scenic spot that integrates plateau lakes, snow-capped mountains, islands, pastures, hot springs, wild animals and plants, temples and other landscapes. It is known as one of the three great lakes in Tibet along with Namtso Lake and Manasarovar Lake. Surrounded by snow-capped mountains and glaciers that never melt, the highest of which reaches an altitude of more than 7,000 meters! It is as beautiful as a mirror, with the water and sky blending into one!
The water of Yamdrok Lake is crystal clear, and under the sunlight, it presents different levels of blue, which is very beautiful. The color of the lake changes with the weather and light, from deep indigo to clear turquoise, to dazzling cobalt blue, each blue is telling the purity and mystery of the plateau. If you travel to Yamdrok Lake in autumn, the water of Yamdrok Lake in autumn is even more charming. Under the sunlight, the lake presents different levels of blue, and the color of the lake surface is rich, from dark blue to turquoise, and even reflects golden brilliance in the sun. This color change makes the lake surface like a huge gem, intoxicating.

The magnificent natural landscape of Kazola Glacier attracts the eyes of countless travelers with its cold and mysterious temperament. As an important tourist attraction in Tibet, Kazola Glacier not only shows the magical power of nature, but also witness the course of the earth's climate change.
Kajola Glacier, a world of ice and snow only hundreds of meters from the road, is awe-inspiring. Glaciers shine in the sun, such as giant Tangka hanging on the mountain wall. It is not only a natural spectacle, but also a witness to culture. The movie Red River Valley was once shot here, leaving an eternal mark. Walking here, as if crossing time and space, feeling the vicissitudes of thousands of years of ice and snow. Kajola glacier is a treasure gifted by nature to mankind, worthy of our care.

Very worth seeing the wonders of the attractions, I will not regret it when I go there, there are natural Qilin, snow-capped mountains and white clouds, plateau wildlife rock sheep, beautiful and unsparing things, looking around, as if entering the flood world, shocking and meditation.
There are cracks in everything, let alone life
Seeing that you have entered the Mount Everest Conservation Area
I was still excited for a while
The Qilin Gorge on the China-Nepal-India border still has some stories
There are not many tourists. The clouds are thick today, and many snow-capped mountains are not seen. Despite this, the scenery here is worth my hard work [laughing and crying R]
Only drones can capture her shock, but they are not allowed to release them. You need to buy milk tea at the world's highest milk tea shop for them to shoot, so I borrowed the last photo of netizens [shy R] This scene inspired me to learn new skills✌

Situated in the heart of Tibet, Shigatse is proud of its famous Tashilunbu Temple, one of the six major temples of Tibetan Buddhism Gelu. Founded in 1447, Gendunzhuba, a disciple of Zongkaba, laid the cornerstone himself, and it has become a cultural treasure that worships countless Buddha statues and treasures of Buddhist classics.
Winter tour Tibet, ticket prices halved, 55/person. Highlights: Qiangba Buddha statue - the world's largest gilded Buddha statue. The Panchen Ling Pagoda in successive generations is also extremely gorgeous.

Looking down from the Jiawula Mountain, the winding mountain road in the snow and fog is the famous 108 turns. Although it is better to pursue poetry and distant places when the sky is clear and the wind is gentle, in such weather, my wife and I stood on the top of the 5,201-meter Jiawula Mountain with our clothes wrapped tightly, without distraction, because it was really cold. We have never hugged each other so tightly, and the so-called mutual support is perfectly interpreted here, and the beautiful scenery is in our hearts. We rented Master Suolang's car from Gangga Town for 600 yuan to go to the Everest Base Camp Scenic Area. We spent a day to play and stayed at the first-class European Cup Hengyang Hotel. The next day, we took Master Suolang's car again, passed 108 turns and Jiawula Pass, and went to Baiba Village to return to Shigatse. Speaking of altitude sickness, the car turned around on the winding mountain road, which made us a little confused and dizzy. Master Suolang hummed a little song and cured us, because he was very talkative and kept talking about this and that to distract our attention. On the contrary, when we reached the top of the mountain, we were busy taking pictures and watching the scenery. We breathed smoothly and our minds were much clearer. Sometimes we struggle with the scenery here. Is it better to look up from the bottom of the mountain or look down from the top of the mountain? Friends, anyway, I prefer to look down from the top of the mountain, especially standing on the top of Jiawula Mountain, watching the mountains dancing silver snakes and the plains galloping wax elephants, which is magnificent. Friendly reminder, we rented a car for 600 yuan, which includes pick-up, so Master Suolang's car rental price is also very favorable.
Tibet seems to me to have never been inaccessible, even if a person has traveled most of China, and has thought about Tibet countless times in his mind, but no one has the courage to step there after all, probably because of the climate, maybe because of the altitude, or I have read a lot of works about there. The mysterious, holy filters that come, always afraid that their messy state of mind will tarnish the clean, faith-filled land in their hearts. But after all, the enemy can not yearn, the yearning for the snow-capped mountains, the yearning for countless clean alpine lakes, the yearning for countless free creatures that perched on that land, chose a mid-October that is not the peak season, and set foot in that wilderness. The altitude is rising, 3000 4000 5000, but fortunately, the high reaction seems to forgive me, my body is all normal, there is no discomfort, I will do this as this land to my greatest welcome and acceptance. The Potala Palace under the sun, the white wall refracts the golden light of the sun, spills on every believer around, and the air is burning incense, which is indeed a place of faith. At the Kawula Pass, with the wind at 5,245 meters above sea level, I hung up the scriptures that wrote my good wishes. Even if there is no faith, it is inevitable that people will revere their hearts and desire some simple and simple wishes. The glacier of Kajola, which will fade away, is glad I remembered what it looked like.

Gangbala Mountain is located between Langkazi County and Gonggar County in Shannan, Tibet. It is adjacent to Yamdrok Lake in the south, Gangdise Mountain in the east, and the Himalayas in the west, stretching across the center of Tibet. The car drove along the winding mountain road and crossed the mountain top. The altitude of the pass was 4,980 meters, which is an excellent location for taking panoramic views of Yamdrok Lake.
There are several Gangbala Mountains in Tibet. The Gangbala Mountains we saw are located between Langkazi County and Gonggar County in Shannan, Tibet. The Gangbala Pass is 4,990 meters above sea level. To get to Yamdrok Lake from Lhasa, you have to cross the Gangbala Pass. There are no steep cliffs here, only gentle rolling hills, but the clouds in the sky are like a dome, as if you are on a high platform in the clouds. If you are not careful, you will fall into the abyss. From the viewing platform here, you can overlook Yamdrok Lake.
