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.

April 19, 2024, Road Trip to Tibet with Parents Day 11: Lhasa - Namtso Lake - Nagqu (367 km, 5 hours driving time) Key Attractions: Namtso Lake, one of the three holy lakes of Tibet, is the highest lake in the world, and the clearest and most beautiful teardrop on Earth. 🌹Trip Itinerary: Depart from the hotel in the morning, first heading to the Namtso scenic area. Along the way, you'll see the Nyainqêntanglha Mountains. If the weather is good, the highest peak you can see is Nyainqêntanglha Peak, at 7162 meters. If you need to get out of the car to view it, be sure to move slowly. I bent over a little too much and immediately experienced altitude sickness, rushing back to the car for oxygen. After arriving at the scenic area entrance and buying tickets, you can drive over the Nagqu La Pass. After descending the mountain and arriving at the distribution center, you need to take the scenic area shuttle bus to Tashi Peninsula. There are many seagulls here, not afraid of people at all, and they even eat directly from people's hands. The Namtso Lake I encountered upon getting off the bus was a vibrant, bright blue, with a touch of icy clarity. As the sightseeing bus ventured deeper into the lake, the blue transformed, becoming a deep, rich, and melancholic hue, breathtakingly beautiful. The scenic area is at a relatively high altitude, so after taking photos, it was time to return to Damxung County as quickly as possible. From Damxung, the journey to Nagqu is a fast one via highway.

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.
