    The foot of the glacier is 5,020 meters high, so climbing it really requires careful consideration. When the guide asked if we could rent oxygen tanks, I quickly raised my hand. Step by step, even with oxygen, it was difficult to climb. I felt exhausted. Then, a small lake appeared. Some people circled the lake and continued to ascend, so I gave up decisively. The movie "Red River Valley" was filmed here, making the Karola Glacier quite famous. Many travelers come here to admire the magnificent glacier and marvel at the charm of nature.

    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.

    My first visit to Qilin Gorge was truly stunning! Upon entering the scenic area, the staff greeted us with warm smiles. They not only patiently explained the route but also reminded us of the best viewing times and photo spots. Their service was meticulous and attentive throughout the entire experience. Even more remarkable, there were no cookie-cutter commercial stalls; only pristine canyon scenery, with roaring waterfalls and shady trees. Every photo was a masterpiece. Tickets were reasonably priced, and the cafeteria was a delight – the stewed chicken with potatoes was tender and flavorful, and the vegetables were refreshing and delicious. For just 20 yuan per person, you could eat a full meal. It's an excellent value! Highly recommended for those who want to connect with nature!

    Our guide, a Tibetan woman, was incredibly thorough and professional, providing detailed and insightful explanations. This gave me a deeper understanding of Tibetan Buddhism. She was also incredibly polite and enthusiastic, allowing us to experience the simplicity and kindness of our fellow Tibetans and the local customs. Drepung Monastery, with its rich history and rich heritage, is well worth a visit.

    While Norbulingka lacked the stunning blue skies and white clouds, the moist air made mainland tourists feel more relaxed. Our Tibetan guide, Jiazhen, provided a very detailed explanation, which was a welcome change from a cursory visit. There's also a small zoo within the park, which was a delight for the children.

    实在不可爱实在不可爱

    Last September, I traveled to Tibet and made an advance reservation for a visit to the Tibet Museum. On the third day after arriving in Lhasa, I visited the museum, which is located in downtown Lhasa. From the upper terrace, you can overlook the Potala Palace. The museum has a rich collection, many of which are rich in local characteristics, and many of the pieces are not available elsewhere. It's a truly worthwhile museum to visit.

    Yaowang Mountain and its surrounding areas have now been transformed into Tuanjie Park, which is very large with a quiet environment, lush vegetation and beautiful scenery. Visitors can climb the mountain along the wooden plank road and overlook the entire Lhasa city.

    The Yaowang Mountain Observation Deck is one of the best places to view the Potala Palace. It is located in a busy city and has convenient transportation. From here, you can see the same landscape as the background map of RMB 50. There are many tourists coming to check in every day.

    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.
