Selincuo - the pure land in Tibet that is most like the ocean

Selincuo - the pure land in Tibet that looks most like the ocean How beautiful is Selincuo, the largest lake in Tibet? People who know it Not many, and even fewer have seen it. 👉Every tourist who travels to Tibet must go to Namtso An essential itinerary arrangement, even many people have always thought that Namu It is the largest and most beautiful lake in Tibet. 👉In fact, in 2001, the surface area of ​​Selin Co Lake exceeded that of Nam Co Lake, becoming the largest lake in Tibet and the second largest saltwater lake in China. However, due to its long distance and sparsely populated area, very few tourists are lucky enough to see it. 👉Xiangselincuo is located at the northern foot of Gangdise Mountain, at the junction of Shenzha, Nima, Bange and Shuanghu counties. So, when we first saw Selincuo, it was as if we had suddenly encountered an oasis in the desolate Qiangtang wilderness. 👉Selin Co is located in the northern part of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. The average mountain height of Zhouguo is above 5,000 meters above sea level. The peaks are covered with ice and snow all year round, which also gave birth to the development of modern glaciers. They have also become one of the important water sources for many lakes. The rivers that flow into Selin Co mainly include Zhajia Zangbu, Zhagen Zangbu, Poqu Zangbu, etc. 👉Selin Co has beautiful scenery. Like many large lakes on the northern Tibetan Plateau, it has a high transparency that cannot be matched by lakes in the inland plains. The maximum transparency of Selin Co is over 10 meters. We can feel its clarity and purity as we approach the lakeshore. 👉 Fortunately, we climbed to a 100-meter cliff during our self-driving trip, overlooking Selincuo from there, which completely overturned my understanding of Tibetan lakes. Looking from afar. Selincuo reflects a faint blue light and contains mysterious power. It is definitely the most beautiful lake I have ever seen. 👉Compared to the azure blue of Namtso Lake, the water of Selin Co Lake is closer to the color of the sea and has the vastness of the sea. If you take a photo and send it to your friends, they may really think that it is the sea, and the most beautiful sea in the world. Because the lake is so large, the colors of the lake are different in different areas and at different angles. In short, those colors cannot be mixed by any palette. Compared with Namtso, there is one more fortunate thing: we will be fortunate enough to meet many Tibetan elves along the shores of Selincuo. In 1993, the Black-necked Crane Nature Reserve was established on the south bank of Selincuo and was promoted to a national nature reserve in 2003. In addition to black-necked cranes, we also encountered rare animals such as Tibetan antelopes, Tibetan sheep, and Tibetan wild donkeys. 👉 "Because there are no tourist buses to Selincuo, you can only drive or charter a car to get here, so very few tourists can reach here. Therefore, Selincuo can be called a secret place in Tibet. I am Xiaobao who loves traveling and sharing ✌️
