Exploring Tibet: A Journey of the Soul, Meeting the Self
🏔️"Suddenly, I want to go to Tibet"🌈
This is the summit of thousands of mountains, the source of myriad rivers, this is Tibet, the mysterious land atop the roof of the world. The mountains are captivating, the great lakes deeply tranquil, amidst the clouds, rain, frost, and the mortal world, here lies a memory code that shakes the soul.
🛣️Why is Tibet so enchanting?
The streets of Lhasa are bathed in sunlight, red walls and golden roofs whisper secrets of a millennium. Prayer wheels spin, Sanskrit chants resonate, the power of faith is a miracle that transcends time and space.
🏞️【Why go to Tibet? This is the answer】
A day in Lhasa is to see all beings and oneself. Potala Palace is endlessly fascinating, it is an eternal dream, a legend of thousands of years. Jokhang Temple is never enough, it is a realm of transience, a faith of thousands of years. Barkhor Street is endlessly charming, it is an old street, a piece of ancient affection, a legacy of love.
🚶♂️【In Nyingchi, take a good walk with oneself】
On the third day of the trip, we walk alongside the Nyang River. Taking a transfer vehicle, we pass through the primeval forest to reach the remote Sangtung pasture. Then, embark on a 6-8 kilometer experiential hike. Walking past streams reflecting snow-capped peaks, over mountain paths with fallen dry trees, deep into the forest to the glaciers, and finally arriving at the tranquil shores of Nyingchi Lake.
🏨【Stay in an oxygen bar, breathe with nature】
Awaken in the oxygen bar in the early morning. While there are fewer visitors, stroll onto the heart of the lake's island. The island, like a gem set in the emerald lake, leisurely wander in the over 600-year-old Tsodzong Gompa, quietly admiring the lake's hues.
🏞️【Enter Sosong Village, encounter another perspective of the great canyon】
Sosong Village, beneath is the ever-flowing Yarlung Tsangpo, looking up at Namcha Barwa, the village is dotted with century-old wild ancient trees. Admire the grandeur of the canyon from another perspective, with a view of Namcha Barwa peak right outside the window of the residence.
🌄【After Namcha Barwa, there is no sunset to look back on】
Approaching Namcha Barwa, one of the world's most beautiful peaks, we first take a scenic shuttle to tour the canyon area, delving deep under the mountains and snow peaks, feeling the shock of the world's most charming canyon.
🏰【Whoever sees Samye Monastery, can avoid the gates of evil realms】
Samye Monastery, this sacred land, every brick and tile is imbued with ancient wisdom, every ray of sunlight is filled with holy blessings. I step into that solemn hall, feeling the universal illumination of Buddha's light.
🌿【Every step, a trace of the soul】
If the Zen sounds of a simple practice ground are the mountain springs, then the Buddha's words here are the pervasive sunlight: warm, bright, cleansing the soul.
💧【The blue Yamdrok Lake, with a spirited heart】
What exactly does Yamdrok Lake resemble, like a dream. This dream traverses the peaks of snow mountains, under the blue sky, beside the grasslands, it reflects myriad scenes, it tells endless stories.
🌾【To obtain a fragrance, is to touch all things in the world】
Handmade Tibetan incense production is a dance of the soul, a soaring of thoughts. When our fingers gently touch the spices, it's as if we've touched the soul of nature.
Everyone has their own "holy land." It might be a starry sky, a grassland, or perhaps expectations hidden in the heart. Some say, one day, the holy land will be Tibet.
The architectural style of the Potala Palace combines two elements of Tibetan and Han, highlighting the characteristics of national unity and cultural integration. This is not only a treasure of history and culture, but also a treasure of human civilization, perfect!
Guide Yuan is super cute and serious and responsible. Contact us one day in advance to tell us the best place to get off, route and meeting point. The explanation is patient and meticulous, very professional, and patiently answers our questions one by one. The cloth palace has her explanation, and every step of the walk has become interesting and vivid!
The second time I came to Potala, this time the tour guide Sasha found through Trip.com was simply great. She was very responsible for her enthusiasm and generosity. From contacting me as soon as I placed an order, to reminding me what I had to bring, what I didn't bring, and then to lead us to play on the same day, everything was meticulous. Not to mention the professionalism, Tibetan language is first-class, Tibetan history, Tibetan Buddhism history are very good, there is a feeling of academic research students. Follow her explanation, there is no hard feeling from climbing down to the top, and there is no sales. At the end of the tour, we feel that the time is too fast and the feeling is still unfinished. I hope everyone can find Sasha with good luck, she will definitely add color to your trip to Lhasa.
Come to the place where you are excited. I love it too much, that is, the temple is always reminded to go, and I can't stay more. 🥹 understandable, difficult to accept...hahaha
My friend and I came to this trip for the Potala Palace. The tour guide Yadong explained in detail and was knowledgeable. People were very good. And enthusiastic.
