    大    牛大 牛

    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.

    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.

  • Tibet Museum

    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.

  • Potala Palace

    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.

  • Red Palace

    The Red Palace is the core building of the Potala Palace and is located in the center of the palace. The building is a stone and wood structure as a whole, the outer wall is2-5 meters thick, the foundation is buried in the rock formation, and the granite masonry wall is reinforced with iron juice every other distance. The roof and window are wooden, with moths and bronze corrugated platinum, and the ridge is decorated with platinum Jing Building, Treasure Bottle, etc., which has the architectural style of Han-Tibet. As the Dalai Lama's spiritual pagoda and various Buddhist halls, there are 8 spiritual towers in the Red Palace, of which the five Dalai Lama's spiritual tower is the largest. In addition, there are important buildings such as Songzan Ganbu Xiufa Cave and Shusheng Sanjie Palace, which are dedicated to Songzan Ganbu, the statue of Princess Wencheng, and the portrait of Emperor Qianlong and the "Long live" brand. The columns and beams are covered with bright color paintings and gorgeous carvings, the interior corridors are interlaced, and the murals are rich in theme and are precious art treasures.

    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.
