This lake is one of the prettiest I’ve seen in my life and is regarded by some as the most beautiful lake in the world. Yamdrok Lake is located near Shigatse in the Tibet Autonoumous Region. It stretches 130km in length and is also known as the green jade lake for its smooth surface and color hues from the reflection of the sunlight. If you are living in China, you can travel to Tibet with a tour company! We used JoyTours and they were wonderful. #travellater #explore #campingglamping #beautiful #bucketlist #summervacation #wintergetaway #tibet #yamdroklake #stunningview

One of the highlights of this trip is to take pictures of the starry sky and the Milky Way. We settled in the camping base by the YamdrokTso Lake the previous night. The accommodation conditions are very simple. There are male dormitories and female dormitories. Each dormitory has 5-6 people, just like the dormitory in school. Because the altitude is a bit high, and I was worried about getting up to see the stars at night, I hardly slept all night. At 4 am in the morning, the team leader called up and took pictures of the starry sky. Once step out the dormitory door, you could see the white Milky Way and the stars by eyes. IPhones can also take some photos with straight shots. But it's still inferior to a professional camera, adjust the shutter to 25 seconds, make a good post, keep it still, Kata, the blockbuster is coming! It's like walking in the universe. In addition to the beautiful scenery of YamdrokTso Lake, the Milky Way and starry sky cannot be missed. Really recommended! #summervacation

The self-drive distance from Lhasa to Yamdrok Lake is about 105 kilometers, and most people head straight for the viewing platform, finding the 2-hour drive along the way quite boring. However, we took the Ali southern route and sneakily climbed up from the back of Yamdrok Lake! For dozens of kilometers along the way, it's all about the lake and the sky! Absolutely gorgeous! - In the second picture, the left side is the regular route, and the right side is the route we took, which requires crossing several mountains, and then there are also winding mountain roads. The third picture is a real test of driving skills (consider a 4x4 rental car of 50w or above), for the brave and resolute! But the scenery is indeed beautiful, with the openness of the plateau grassland, where you can almost reach out and touch the sky! - No admission fee is charged at all, and for the eight or nine of us, we even made a little profit~ The lakeside road offers even more pastoral scenery, with mountains full of grass, herds of cattle and sheep by the lake, and a few low houses in the distance, feeling like driving in a painting. - The lake is as blue as the sky, with a shallow layer that is clear enough to see the stones at the bottom of the lake. It is said that every stone under the lake is engraved with Buddhist scriptures, and it is a sacred lake in the hearts of Tibetans, well protected ecologically. Tibetans do not eat fish, but the older generation would dry the fish from Yamdrok Lake and grind it into powder. Whenever there is a woman with a difficult labor, they dissolve it in water for her to drink, and it is sure to facilitate a smooth delivery.

Even beginners can easily master it, with a guide included. After waiting for more than half a year, it has finally returned! It is an entry-level high-altitude trekking route in Tibet, and also one of the few routes in Tibet that is friendly to novices. So what exactly is the Mount Kailash trek like? Mount Kailash has an elevation of 7554M and is one of the peaks in the Himalayas in Tibet. It is also one of the four sacred mountains traditionally revered by the Tibetan people.

The snow scenery and the rhododendrons in May are the main attractions at this time.

September-October, the snow mountains and golden forests intertwine beautifully, as if walking through an oil painting. November-February, the exclusive blue ice season, where one can indulge in the beauty of sapphires, especially at Puma Yumco.

Who would have thought that I went to Tibet for a business trip? I'm not a self-driving tourist, not a backpacker, and I don't have a great wish to enter Tibet, but I just went like this, without the 318 National Road, without the Highlander, just brutally flew over from Chengdu at 4 o'clock in the morning! 🧳Preparation before departure: 1. Stick to Rhodiola for two weeks before departure, don't hesitate, don't hesitate, when you get there you will know you ate right! 2. High level of sun protection, the sunshine there I have not seen in Shanghai, it feels not sunbathing, but the sun "covers" you 3. June to September each year is a good time to go to Tibet, don't think that you wear less in the hot summer, look at what I wore in September (Figure 23) 🍽Dining suggestions: 1. Lhasa is mostly Sichuan cuisine and noodles. To be honest, if you go for a week, the diet is indeed unbearable, drink more water (not hot is also fine), if possible, bring more biscuits, bread, small snacks, vitamin tablets are the best, supplement intake. The yogurt near the Potala Palace is worth a try, it's a very authentic taste! 📌Small Tips 1. It is recommended to stay in a better hotel, so that you can rest as much as possible at night, the plateau reaction is still very obvious. If you haven't arranged anti-altitude medicine for yourself two weeks in advance, it is recommended to find a pharmacy in Lhasa (there are in the city) Han Chinese doctors will recommend various anti-good far reflection drugs, generally choose plateau safety 2. The Potala Palace is more than 3,000 meters above sea level and requires advance real-name ID reservation. The steps of the Potala Palace are very high, remember to climb slowly, don't think you are physically fit, speed up, the consequences are very uncomfortable, don't believe you try? 3. When you get to the Red Palace, due to the smell of butter lamps inside all year round, and the smell of not washed red-robed people, it gave me a strong smell impact, but remember, no matter how bad it smells, you have to smile 😊 4. About the restaurant in Octagonal Street (Figure 8) is the restaurant related to the rumored girlfriend of Cangyang Gyatso, it should be a local internet celebrity restaurant! Whether the food is delicious or not is not important, leaving your handwriting and wishes is a bit fun. Notebooks are classified by place, you can choose to leave a message from your city 5. There are many literary and artistic young women at the entrance of Jokhang Temple, single dogs can rush, add a WeChat is no problem 👍Most recommended: Yamdrok Lake is the Top1 of my Lhasa trip in my mind When you get there, when you find that you can't speak, you get my current natural speechless mentality! The literal translation of her meaning is "the jade lake of the pasture above" (Figure 1234) It is best to find a Chinese driver who grew up in Tibet, if conditions permit, charter a car up the mountain, you can see the scenery and communicate along the way. Generally, you can see the water burial, but remember not to take pictures, it is not polite and not auspicious!

Lhasa, a plateau city full of mystery, is known as the 'City of Sunlight'. Here, the Potala Palace stands on the top of the mountain, telling stories of a thousand years. Walking in Barkhor Street, feeling the unique charm of Tibetan culture, tasting a bowl of hot butter tea, it seems to hear the echo of time. In Lhasa, faith and nature coexist harmoniously, and every breath is full of sacred power. I really love this place so much.
