Basum Tso in Tibet | A little Switzerland hidden in Tibet
"Basum Tso" also known as Cuogao Lake🌊, in Tibetan means "green water". The lake is at an altitude of 3480 meters, located 36 kilometers from Bahe Town, Gongbujiangda County, in the upper reaches of the Bahe River in the high mountain valley, it is a famous sacred lake and holy land of the Red Sect. In August 2017, it became the first natural scenic 5A tourist area in Tibet.
🎡 Attractions:
1⃣ Island in the heart of Basum Tso
A small island in the middle of Basum Tso, connected to the land by a floating bridge. Tourists can walk up via this bridge or take a small boat. Legend has it that the island is a "hollow island", i.e., it is not connected to the lake bottom and floats on the lake. Although it is just a legend, it makes people feel the magic of nature.
2⃣ Cuozong Gongba Temple
Located on the island in the lake, it is a famous Red Sect Nyingma temple in Tibet, built in the late Tang Dynasty, with a history of more than 1500 years. There is a peach and pine tree in the south of the temple. In spring, the peach blossoms and green pines contrast each other, which is very beautiful.
3⃣ Jieba Village
At the foot of the scenic area of Basum Tso, there is an ancient village hidden -- Jieba Village, located deep in the scenic area in Cuogao Township. Only when you explore deep into the scenic area, you will find a paradise at the end of the lake.
4⃣ Xinco (very beautiful, worth a visit)✨
Xinco is an extended scenic spot inside Basum Tso, very beautiful, suitable for hiking, 6 kilometers, about 3 hours. Xinco is quite far from Basum Tso, about 20~30 kilometers, and the road conditions are poor.
🎈 Admission: 115 yuan/person, sightseeing car 50 yuan/person
🎈 Opening hours of the scenic area:
3.15-10.15, 8:30--20:30
10.16-next year 3.14, 9:30-19:30
🚘 Transportation: Self-driving or group tour
You can also take a train from Lhasa to Nyingchi, and then take a bus from Nyingchi City Passenger Transport Center to Basum Tso, about 120 kilometers, ticket price 62 yuan, journey 2-2.5 hours
🏠 Food and accommodation: Basum Tso has developed into a relatively mature tourist resort in recent years, with convenient food and accommodation. The prices in the restaurants in the scenic area are relatively high, and the sanitary conditions are general
🌟 Best viewing season: Spring, Autumn.
In spring, Basum Tso will present a charming blue, as if it were the blue tears of Nyenchen Tanglha. If you also like blue, why not go and see Basum Tso in spring!
Every autumn, when the air is crisp and clear, the forest is dyed and the lake water is pure and clear.
Super real Songzanlin (Basongtso Store)
1, The hardware is impeccable, the room has a smart toilet, electric towel rack, projector, ambient night light (it's the most reasonable lighting design in the hotels I've stayed in recently), but the standard room bed is tiny! 1.2m X 1.8m, isn't it impossible for tall people to stretch their legs?
2, Some thoughtful little things, goodnight drink (in a thermos), prepared a variety of drinks coffee and so on that you can make yourself
3, The scenery is stunning, the swimming pool under the snow mountain, the restaurant with a 270-degree view, the dock where you can sail on the lake, and the horse farm and so on, the soon-to-open Ancestor Bird, it's only a matter of time before it becomes a stop on the journey rather than a night at a hotel
4, Food, dinner is not bad, ordered mushroom stewed rice and vegetables and so on, apart from being expensive there is no problem, breakfast is very rich and delicious, afternoon tea is a bit perfunctory, probably considering that not many guests eat it
5, Service, the biggest complaint this time, the night before they said it was quite good, we checked in very late and didn't get afternoon tea, the room can be delayed until 2 o'clock to check out, if we leave early they can help us pack, breakfast until 10 o'clock and so on, the next morning, they first called to urge us to check out at 11 o'clock, because there are new guests booked? We disagreed, then said that afternoon tea can't be packed, only dine in, and said that breakfast is only until 9 o'clock, our communication process also said that we are very difficult to communicate, can't understand a bit.
Above, can experience, encounter a good manager may have a better experience.
Basum Tso
Basum Tso, also known as Cuogao Lake, means 'green water' in Tibetan. It is about 18 kilometers long, covers an area of approximately 27 square kilometers, and reaches a depth of 120 meters. The lake is situated at an altitude of 3480 meters. Located in the deep valley of the upper Ba River, about 36 kilometers from Baher Town in Gongbo'gyamda County, it is a famous sacred lake and holy site of the Red Sect of Tibetan Buddhism. The scenic area encompasses snow-capped mountains, lakes, forests, waterfalls, pastures, cultural relics, and ancient temples, offering a unique and varying landscape throughout the seasons. It is a haven for numerous rare and wild plant species, truly a paradise on earth, and is known as the 'Little Switzerland' of Tibet. About one hundred meters from the shore lies a small island called Tashi Island, which is home to the Tang Dynasty structure 'Tsokar Gongba Monastery,' a renowned Nyingma sect temple of Tibetan Buddhism, built in the late Tang Dynasty, with a history of over 1500 years.
Basum Tso is a must-see, it's so beautiful
Basum Tso is a famous sacred lake and holy site of the Red Sect, and it is the first and currently the only natural scenic national 5A-level tourist attraction in Tibet. Forests, snow-capped mountains, villages, lakes, islands, temples. Basum Tso almost encapsulates all types of southeastern Tibetan scenery and culture. Strolling around Basum Tso, under the blue sky and white clouds, with the snow mountains and clear waters, it feels as if time could stand still.
Exit the highway at Bahe Town, and a thirty-plus kilometer road takes you to the scenic area. Stop the car twice on the way; once for the eye-catching yellow of the rapeseed flowers blooming in the green valley, winding upwards, which irresistibly makes you ask the driver to stop. Another stop is initiated by the driver; the roaring waterfalls from the rolling dam, thundering and stirring up a pile of snow and wind, rolling forward. Standing on the shore, looking down at the rapids from a close distance, one feels dizzy and hastily retreats.
Private cars are not allowed inside the scenic area; you can only take the scenic area bus. The first stop is to the island in the heart of the lake, which is the core of Basum Tso. There is a small local temple on the island. Although it's small, it's said to be a holy temple of the sect, and what's unique is a 'peach embracing pine' tree, where a pine tree grows in the middle of a peach tree. The trees on the island are lush, including a thousand-year-old evergreen oak, majestic like a dragon. The moss on the branches indicates the fresh and moist air here.
You can also feed fish on the floating bridge, using barley cake made by local residents, which costs five yuan each and is not expensive. It just feels like these fish have been fed by tourists and are not interested in what we throw. You can also take a bus to a small hilltop viewing platform in Jieba Village, where the view of the lake under the snow mountains is still very beautiful. In the lush forest, there is such a large expanse of lake water, reflecting the snow mountains, truly experiencing what the 'Jiangnan of Tibet' feels like. There are also boat services on the lake.
There is also a small village called Tsogao Village by Basum Tso, 'Tsogao' in Tibetan means 'head of the lake', which is a mysterious ancient Tibetan village hidden at the end of the sacred lake. After arriving at Basum Tso, continue walking along the lakeside road, passing through tall and straight pine forests with a faint scent of pine, and in about 40 minutes, you will reach Tsogao Village.
Tsogao Village, built by the lake, with scattered houses, the lake like a belt, and behind it, is the Jieqing Nalagabu Snow Mountain with an altitude of over 6300 meters. The misty clouds spread down from the surrounding mountains, and Tsogao Village is thus serenely nestled between the snow-capped mountains and green waters, a perfect secluded paradise by the mountains and water!

I have a preference for the spring in Linzhi
There are two truly beautiful Shangri-Las in the world; one is in the heart, and the other is in Tibet.
March in Linzhi belongs exclusively to the romantic fairy tale of Tibet, of course, it must be paired with the blooming peach blossoms of the Z fairy.
SOON every year from March 15th to April 15th,
the entire Linzhi is immersed in the splendid sea of peach blossoms. The peach blossoms under Mount Namjagbarwa are about to bloom.
Gala Village and Kasimu Village are the best viewing spots,
where you can see the idyllic scenery complemented by peach blossoms, snow-capped mountains, and lakes!
The scenic area ticket is 150, valid for 3 days.
To enter the scenic area, you need to take a shuttle bus, with two routes, each charging 90 for a round trip: one goes to the Grand Canyon Hot Springs, stopping at Dadu Card ruins, Love Tree, and Namjagbarwa Peak viewing platform along the way. The other goes to Suosong Village. From Suosong Village, you can get a fuller view of Mount Namjagbarwa, which is even more beautiful with the peach blossoms.

Basum Lake
In Tibet, 'lake' is usually referred to as 'co'. Basum Lake is located in Gongbujiangda County, Nyingchi, Tibet. It is the first 5A natural scenic spot in Tibet. The lake is 3480 meters above sea level and the deepest part reaches 120 meters. It is listed as a world-class tourist attraction by the World Tourism Organization. 'Basum Lake' is a holy lake of the Red Sect. In Tibetan, it means 'green water'. Everyone loves to call it 'the emerald on the plateau'. Basum Lake is about 3700 meters above sea level, the lake is about 18 kilometers long, the lake area is about 27 square kilometers, and the deepest part reaches 120 meters. The shape of the entire lake is like a new moon embedded in the deep valley. Basum Lake is the first 5A natural scenic spot in Tibet, and it is also the holy lake and holy land of the Nyingma Sect of Tibetan Buddhism. Basum Lake is the largest glacial barrier lake in southeastern Tibet. According to research, during the Ice Age, as the earth's temperature rose, the glaciers covered here also began to move. Under the erosion of glacier grinding, plucking and meltwater, the Basum Lake glacier lake basin was formed. Afterwards, the lake basin was washed by water for many years, coupled with earthquakes and landslides, and finally formed a glacial barrier lake.

👀If you have only seen the green and snow mountains of Tibet
🍁Then come to Linzhi in the fall~
This is the first time I took my mother on a trip, helping her realize her dream of Tibet!
My enlightenment on the road of travel is my mother. From childhood to adulthood, she took me around the country, taking me to see the vast grasslands of Inner Mongolia, the vast desert of Gansu, the ethnic customs of Xinjiang, the primitive forests of Yunnan, the Confucian culture of Qilu, the soft rain of the south of the Yangtze River, the surging of the Yellow River and the Yangtze River... Before I was 18, my mother took me on a journey of thousands of miles, seeing the great rivers and mountains of the motherland, forming my broad world geography view.
Just as I came of age, I had accumulated a lot of travel experience and sparked more and more curiosity about the world. I started traveling alone from university. At the age of 19, I went to Tibet alone, and later traveled to 30 countries around the world. The more I walked alone, the more I saw, but suddenly realized that my parents were getting older and I hadn't traveled with my mother for a long time.
Even though I have traveled most of the provinces and cities in the country, the snow-capped plateau is still a place my mother has never set foot in and has always wanted to come. Since my first solo travel destination was Tibet, seven years later, I chose Tibet again to start the first 'I take my mother to see the world' journey.
Two years ago in the spring, I went to Shangri-La, Songzanlin Ka next to Songzanlin Temple, is the best Tibetan hotel in my mind. The high-altitude geographical environment of Tibet may be a tough journey for my mother, so I thought of 'Tibet Jiangnan' Linzhi, where the altitude is relatively low, the trees are lush, the oxygen is sufficient, surrounded by snow-capped mountains, very suitable as the first destination into Tibet.
The journey into Tibet was not smooth, from Chongqing to Linzhi, experienced six hours of delay, six hours of flight and return, we delayed a whole day's time, after a hard journey, finally arrived at Basong Co. When we arrived, we saw a rainbow reflected in the valley, at this time the fatigue of the journey, the discomfort of high anti, all disappeared with the rainbow bridge in the Tibetan heart symbolizing 'connecting the sky and the earth, spreading peace and joy'.
The hotel we chose to stay in is the Basong Co Lin Ka of Songzan, which has been prepared for eight years and officially opened in September this year. It is currently the largest scale, the first green low-carbon hotel under the Songzan banner. Located on the south bank of Basong Co, it rests in the arm of the holy lake and the divine bay. When the weather is fine, the snow-capped mountains of Jieqing Nalagabu in the north are shining brightly.
As soon as you enter the hotel, your heart will calm down. The design of the hotel reflects the Tibetan tribute to the local Tibetan cultural history and the extension of the natural scenery of Basong Co, truly making us feel 'living in nature', and happily, my mother immediately liked it here.
The simple and kind Tibetan housekeeper handed over a cup of ginger tea and delicious barley cookies, welcoming our arrival, drinking the hot ginger tea, brought back my memories of meeting Songzan two years ago, for a moment there was a feeling of 'home'. The moment I opened the window of the room, the fresh air, the chirping of birds in my ears, the distant cowbells on the lawn floating in the air, the person by the window also became a person in the painting.
Songzan Basongcuo Linka | Green Guardian
Jieba Village No.1
Guests and hosts
Still passing through the simple village
Still can't find the scent of postmodern hotels
In expectation and doubt
The hotel jumps into view
The mountains alternate between light and dark under the sunlight
The upper wood and lower stone buildings are well-arranged
The public area garden design complements the distant mountains
Integrated with nature
Walking along the hotel's path to Basongcuo Lake
The lake is as green as its name suggests
The lake in the afternoon is so calm as if time has stopped
No waves
Reluctant to leave
The room's original wood style interior
Red and blue color woven fabric sofa and curtains
A slightly more modern style than previous Songzan
But comfort is as always
The restaurant is still the best view of Songzan
In the morning facing the mist
In the evening accompanied by the sunset
Who doesn't want to own such a window side
"Jieba" is Tibetan, meaning "forgot"
In such a greenery
Indeed forgot troubles and the world
At this moment I am just me
Empty all of me
Tibet|This is not Switzerland, this is Nyingchi
In China, you can always trust the location selection of Songzan Hotel. Thanks to Songzan, I came to Basumtso in Nyingchi to participate in the opening ceremony of Songzan's Mountain Life Season. From Songzan Linsi to Wunongding, from Namjagbarwa to Basumtso, every location of Songzan is amazing. If it weren't for Songzan, I might miss this beautiful and niche place, Basumtso. Snow mountains, meadows, forests, lakes, sailboats... My first impression of Basumtso is 'Oh my god, this is Switzerland', it turns out that we also have such beautiful places in our country.
·
The harder it is to reach, the better the scenery, I know. The reason why I have not started my Tibet trip is because I always feel that Tibet is far and hard. But Songzan·Basumtso broke my prejudice against Tibet. After landing at Nyingchi Airport, I took the Mercedes-Benz business car picked up by the hotel, and arrived at the hotel lobby in two hours. Stepping into this plateau resort, lying in the room drinking coffee and looking at the snow-capped mountains and lakes, it's comfortable and not hard at all.
·
122 rooms, swimming pool, SPA, bar, gym, cafe, Ancestor Bird Lounge... There are such rich facilities; sailing, hiking, horse riding, paddle boarding, motorcycling, ancient village tours... There are also such rich experiences. This is indeed a resort hotel that you can stay for a few days without getting tired, and it is also the largest resort hotel of Songzan so far.
·
The theme of the opening of Songzan Basumtso Linka this time 'GO GREEN' really touched me. The snow-capped mountains and lakes are very beautiful, but also very fragile. The Songzan Basumtso Linka built by the lake is a green and low-carbon hotel, which is also a rare eco-resort hotel in China. Perhaps Songzan is leading the domestic hotel and homestay industry in a new direction. The hotel and travel industry, which is gifted by the natural beauty, may start to give back to nature in the mountains and rivers, and protect nature.
·
I will definitely come back to see the different sceneries of Basumtso.
This is really a beautiful, beautiful, beautiful place!
We will always be moved by nature during our autumn trek in Tibet's Basum Lake
Seven years ago, I traveled alone to Tibet, joined a group tour, and experienced a 'ascetic' small group rush itinerary. Apart from leaving a few photos, there were no other deeper feelings.
Seven years later, I revisited Basum Lake in Tibet, changed my travel method, stayed in Basum Lake, and truly immersed myself in the local natural landscape and understood the Tibetan culture.
In the afternoon when we arrived at the Songzan Basum Lake Linka, we immediately put on trekking gear and participated in the 'Songzan Go Green' Basum Lake tour and light trekking activities.
In Tibet, Basum Lake has a sacred status. It is said to be one of the great marriage lakes of Padmasambhava. The turquoise lake water reflects snow-capped mountains, forests, glaciers, playgrounds, and nourishes the beautiful villages in the deep valleys.
During the trek, it rained and cleared from time to time. The role of 'water' in nature is full of various styles. It transforms into various forms around us, clouds, fog, rain, waterfalls, lake water, either still or rushing, changing in an instant.
When our spiritual pilgrimage encountered a rainstorm, the calm lake rippled, the water surface floated with sparkling waves, raindrops passed through the tall forest, slid down the sturdy trunk, fell on the leaves, passed through the five-color prayer flags, fell on the mud under our feet, and beat on the stone tablet engraved with Tibetan script. Every picture in nature is full of poetic Zen.
The Tibetan people respect and love nature. The friendly steward introduced us to Tibetan stories along the way, and never forgot to pick up the garbage left in the mountains. Their enthusiasm and sincerity infected us all the way.
After returning from the trek to the hotel room, the green of nature extends to our architectural space. The structure and appearance of the hotel building pay tribute to the local cultural history of Basum Lake, and the color matching corresponds to the natural scenery of Basum Lake.
The green energy intelligent control system transforms all the energy given to us by nature into renewable electricity, heat, and oxygen, and is used in every scene of the hotel.
What kind of healing experience is the ultimate? Trekking gets the body moving, the infinitely comfortable LAMER spa and foil healing will completely relax the body and mind. Awaken the inner vitality and self-healing ability. A day's experience in Songzan once again gave me inspiration and enlightenment, allowing us to examine our relationship with nature.
Going green is our innate nature. Going into nature truly heals our bodies and comforts our souls. Going into nature, living in green, and greening in life.
The stunning Basum Lake is truly beautiful
Basum Lake is a lake, in Tibetan it means 'the green lake under three rock mountains', also known as 'Three Rock Lake'. Because the lake is located in the territory of Cuo Gao Township, Gongbujiangda County, it is also called Cuo Gao Lake, with an altitude of about 3500 meters.
Basum Lake is a sacred lake of the Red Sect, and also a holy land. The so-called Red Sect is the Nyingma School, one of the four major lineages of Tibetan Buddhism: Red, White, Flower, and Yellow, and it is the oldest one. Because of faith, the water here is always so clear and transparent. The distant mountains are misty, the green water is deep, the snow-capped mountains occasionally reveal their true appearance in the clouds, and the lush primitive forests accompany the lake. When the wind rises, it passes through the forest and hits the leaves, like the chanting of sutras, initially inaudible, gradually resounding through the world.
Tibet|The beautiful scenery of Basong Co in winter is not inferior to foreign countries
🚗This time, due to the fewer people in winter and the relatively temporary, so finally considered to join the group for safety. Depart from Lhasa in the morning and basically arrive at 1 o'clock, eat a meal and then drive to the scenic area about 2:30 to enter, required to arrive at the gate at 4 o'clock, the actual play time is very short.
🚗Take the shuttle bus into the scenic area (actually very short, the map shows only more than 3k) to the heart of the lake island, here you can walk up to the heart of the lake island, the island scenery is good. This place can take a boat, or you can walk along the plank road around the lake.
🚗After finishing this point, you can walk to the Chela viewing point, where you can overlook the heart of the lake island. The marked distance is not accurate, the actual distance should be more than 1km. And there is a section of continuous climbing steps behind, be careful not to exercise too intensely to cause high anti. This place can wait for the shuttle bus directly to the entrance of the scenic area.
🚗The winter scenery is very good, and there are very few people. I checked from the entrance to the deepest part is less than 20km, but there is only a small part of the plank road, other many times may need to walk the driveway. Those who want to hike can check it out by themselves, the accommodation inside is more expensive, the overall difficulty is not big.

Unveiling the paradise of Nyingchi
In Nyingchi, there is a proverb: There are thousands of beautiful sceneries in the world, only Basong is hidden. Yes, Basong Lake is such a paradise hidden in the deep mountains, burying the mysterious vicissitudes.
The vast majority of sacred lakes in Tibet are lying in the abrupt wilderness, but Basong Lake is surrounded by lush primitive forests. Basong Lake is also known as the three-color sacred lake. The color of the lake changes with the angle and time, sometimes clear blue, sometimes emerald green, which is very magical. The near mountains are verdant, the far mountains are majestic, the mountain shadows overlap, the water color changes, the cloud shadows pass, and the fish and birds fly. People are in the painting, and they are outside the painting. At the time of being relaxed and happy, the complicated world affairs have been thrown behind the head.
Basum Co's Bailang Gully, the original unparalleled secret realm
If you only go to Basum Co, then you are wrong.
Basum Co has three secrets, Xin Co, Zhong Co, and Bailang Gully.
The winter Bailang Gully is quiet, original, artistic, and is a secret realm for real travelers.
Snow-capped mountains, streams, pastures, dead trees, primitive forests, wild sea buckthorns, and winter snow, everything is a visual feast of nature.
🚙Not far from Basum Co's Jieba Village to the direction of Xin Co, there is a junction with a sign, 👉right to Xin Co, 👈left to Bailang Gully. Just keep going along the left road.
🛣You will pass two steel frame bridges and a iron gate, a wooden gate, until the pasture gate in picture 12, you need to stop the car to untie the rope, and close the gate after the car enters.
🚗It is about 20 kilometers from Jieba Village, it takes an hour to drive, the road condition is particularly bad, undulating road + gravel road + rubble road, there are small sections of water crossing road, the road gets worse as you go in, it is recommended to go by SUV, it is a bit test of driving skills.
🏞The whole way is scenery, the focus is not on the end, but the end is indeed shocking.
🏂Keep going until the car can't go, about the position of picture 13, you need to walk on foot, cross the primitive forest, the traces of the road in the forest become lighter and lighter, walk for about 25 minutes, when you encounter a pile of stones you may not find the road , Walk to the left to find the traces of the road. Behind the pile of stones is the extremely shocking glacier and lake, picture 11.
It is best to bring some food when walking in, it is easy to consume physical strength.
🏝The choice of Bailang Gully and Xin Co:
The scenery of the two is similar, Bailang Gully is more primitive, without any development, the scenery is more abundant, the scenery at the end is more shocking, the road is harder to walk, but the walking distance is shorter. Xin Co has development, there are paid project tools to replace walking, the natural landscape is also very good, there will be more human elements, if you walk on your own, it will be a bit farther than Bailang Gully, the road condition is slightly better, the overall difficulty factor is smaller, and the time consumption is close. If the average person has limited time, you can choose one of the two.
📷Photography strategy:
I use Panasonic S5+20-60, 70-300 to shoot, use more telephoto, suggest to bring 35-50 focal length, 70-200 focal length.
🏜Time arrangement: We set off at 10 o'clock on December 10th, and arrived at Jieba Village at 5:20 in the afternoon. I stopped a lot on the way to take pictures, which is a very ample itinerary. If you don't make too many stops, it is recommended to arrange 5 hours for the whole journey.

Zuozong Temple, located on the heart of Linzhiba Songcuo Lake. The construction time of this temple was based on the end of the Tang Dynasty. It has been more than 1,500 years old and belongs to the Nyingma School of Tibetan Buddhism. The temple is dedicated to the master of lotus life and is a holy place to live in the hearts of local people. The size of the
monastery is very small, and the influence of monks and nuns is great. The original temple of the Zongzong Temple was destroyed, but it was destroyed in the 1960s. Today, it can only be traced back to the oral traditions of the local elderly and the Ba Song Lake geography with only a few pages.
Although spring is here, but in the spring of February, Ba Songcuo still has some winter desolation. But not long after, the Linzhi peach blossoms, the beautiful Ba Songcuo, the magical Zongzong Temple, and the devout Tibetans will present the unique "Jiangnan scenery" to the world.
