A truly breathtaking performance, a must-see every time I visit Tibet. The actresses playing Princess Wencheng have changed many times, but my sincerity remains constant, haha ​​😃 I always bring a 50 RMB note with me when I go to Tibet. The "Line 1 and Line 2" part is a major drawback; this trip to the Potala Palace was the worst experience I've ever had.

Namtso Lake offers different views in each season, but my favorite is the blue ice in December. There are two-meter-thick ice cracks where you can stand on the ice and watch many fish swimming freely beneath it, admiring the wonders of nature.

The scenery was beautiful, but the weather wasn't great when I went; it was raining and foggy, so the snow-capped mountains weren't visible. Also, the village roads were very narrow, making it difficult to get around by car. Plus, new guesthouses were under construction everywhere, and there were building materials scattered all over the village, making it very messy and a poor tourist experience.

The Yarlung Tsangpo Grand Canyon is the world's largest and deepest canyon. Stretching over 500 kilometers from Milin County in Nyingchi City in the north to Medog County in the south, its deepest point reaches 6,009 meters. Within a vertical range of over 5,000 meters, it encompasses almost all natural zones from polar to tropical regions, and offers stunning views of the magnificent Namcha Barwa peak.

The trip on the 5th was great. The staff at the reception hall were very helpful, and the driver, Mr. Wu, was also excellent; he drove very smoothly. We departed at 9 am and returned at 12 pm, seeing all three viewpoints – it was a wonderful trip.

A guided tour of Jokhang Temple is essential; otherwise, you'll be completely confused. The actual area open to the public is quite small, consisting of just one main hall containing a life-size statue of the 12-year-old Shakyamuni Buddha. When we entered, the monks were gilding it. The guide mentioned that you could also pay 2000 yuan to have the Buddha's robes changed, and removing the old robes would bring blessings. Inside, there's also a mandala similar to the one in the Potala Palace, made of 99% pure gold. This one seems newer, only a few years old, but the gold purity is high; the Potala's is said to be 70% pure. After the tour, you can go up to the second floor where there are chairs to rest and soak up the sun. Perhaps because of the Buddha's radiant light, my heart felt very peaceful at that moment.

When you go to Tibet, you must visit Mount Everest. Although not everyone can reach the top of the mountain, it is beautiful to see the golden mountain in the sun at the Everest Base Camp. Looking up at the Milky Way starry sky at night is indescribably beautiful!

Laigu Glacier, one of the world's three largest glaciers, is located in Ranwu Town, Basu County, Qamdo Prefecture, Tibet. It offers a glimpse into a dreamlike wonderland of 10,000-year-old blue ice. The crystal-clear ice, snow-capped mountains, and glacial lakes create a breathtaking spectacle, akin to stepping back into the Ice Age and experiencing the power of nature. The best viewing period is from December to February, when the ice is solid and at its largest. At an altitude of approximately 4,200 meters, be prepared for cold and altitude sickness, and crampons are recommended for safe trekking.

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.

Kadinggou is a classic canyon landscape, with unique peaks, rocks, and towering ancient trees. A waterfall cascades down a nearly 200-meter drop, creating a majestic spectacle. Natural cliff formations include giant Buddhas, goddesses, Guanyin, Dharma protectors, Tathagata Buddha, lamas chanting, a divine turtle calling to the sky, a sacred eagle offering treasures, and butter lamps. Seeing such a massive waterfall in Tibet is a truly worthwhile experience. Kadinggou is easily accessible via bus No. 7 from Nyingchi City.
