The scenery is nice, but the 54-kilometer washboard road from the visitor center to the scenic spot is bumpy and slippery, which damages the car. After collecting the entrance fee, the road should be repaired.

The Holy Elephant Gate is worth a visit.

The last day of the Ali Grand Circuit ends at Namtso.
Namtso truly lives up to its name as a &quot;holy lake.&quot; The Ali Grand Circuit concludes here.

The Holy Elephant Gate is fenced off. When taking photos from the viewing platform, you always get the railings. Such a beautiful scenery should not be used as a tool to attract money. It&rsquo;s okay to attract money, but don&rsquo;t make the railings so high so that we can take photos.

I will be back to Shanghai tomorrow. The last stop of this trip is Shengxiang Tianmen. This ending is so wonderful! At 6 o&#39;clock in the morning, I left Dangxiong in the dark and drove to the gate of Namtso Park. No one was selling tickets, saving 120 yuan per person. After crossing the Naganla Pass, continue along the provincial road in the direction of Bange for about an hour to the visitor center on the north bank of Namtso. Enter the gate that is still under construction and you will reach the 50-kilometer washboard road that many people are afraid of. In fact, the road is not as bad as imagined. It is really bumpy, but the passability is still OK. If you drive a car with a higher chassis, the speed can reach more than 60. But if it is a sedan, it feels like you can get in, but the speed must not exceed 30. It is also OK to drive slowly. We are about 50 kilometers per hour. It took us an hour to reach the entrance of Shengxiang Tianmen. There is a small tent where the administrator lives. It is open to enter at 9:30 in the morning. You need to provide your ID card, driver&#39;s license and vehicle license. Of course, the most important thing is the reservation form. After registration, pay 80 yuan per person and you can go in. Remember to only accept cash! After passing the small tent, you will see the huge holy elephant after going downhill. Well, I won&rsquo;t say the rest, just look at the photos! (Individual tourists can make reservations at the Holy Elephant Tianmen Tourist Service Center in a parking lot on the left side of the west gate of the Potala Palace. After registering there, add their WeChat. On the day of your visit, take a photo at the small tent and send it to the service center, and they will send the reservation voucher to your phone)

The Holy Elephant Gate is absolutely amazing! This place is on the north bank of Namco, two boulders arched like elephant noses into a gate, with the blue lake and snow-capped mountains behind it, it is almost the same as the place where the gods live! Just standing there is a blockbuster film, the clouds are low as if you can reach out. The most amazing thing is that the color of the lake will change, the morning milk blue, the afternoon emerald green, and the sun will turn golden when it sets, like magic! Although the road is a bit bumpy, the moment you see the scenery, all the hard work is worth it. I can feel the magnificent and magical beauty of Tibet at the same time. I heard that it is still a holy place of Tibetan Buddhism. I feel that my soul has been purified under the door. Come to Tibet and don&#39;t let this &quot;gate of heaven&quot; come, it&#39;s really white!
