Any language describing beauty seems pale. The blue that is unique to Yanghu Lake is something you have to see with your own eyes to marvel at the magic of nature. It is a place that is like a painting. You must take photos with the lambs and Zangzui! Yanghu Lake without any filter modification So beautiful, so beautiful! Mainly because the weather was very bad, the lake was so beautiful and blue! I highly recommend it to everyone. I signed up for a half-day tour, but unfortunately I could only take pictures for half an hour at each viewpoint. The altitude sickness in Tibet and Jade Dragon Snow Mountain is not on the same level If you have been to Yanghu Lake in Tibet, don't underestimate yourself when you go to Yulong Snow Mountain. There is no need to buy too many oxygen cylinders Standing by Yanghu Lake at an altitude of 4,677 meters, I felt a splitting headache and a heavy head and feet. It's light, like walking on cotton, you have to take a breath of oxygen after taking two steps Standing on the top of Yulong Snow Mountain at an altitude of 4,680 meters, as long as you walk a little slower and dress warmly, you don’t even need oxygen.

One of the highlights of this trip is to take pictures of the starry sky and the Milky Way. We settled in the camping base by the YamdrokTso Lake the previous night. The accommodation conditions are very simple. There are male dormitories and female dormitories. Each dormitory has 5-6 people, just like the dormitory in school. Because the altitude is a bit high, and I was worried about getting up to see the stars at night, I hardly slept all night. At 4 am in the morning, the team leader called up and took pictures of the starry sky. Once step out the dormitory door, you could see the white Milky Way and the stars by eyes. IPhones can also take some photos with straight shots. But it's still inferior to a professional camera, adjust the shutter to 25 seconds, make a good post, keep it still, Kata, the blockbuster is coming! It's like walking in the universe. In addition to the beautiful scenery of YamdrokTso Lake, the Milky Way and starry sky cannot be missed. Really recommended! #summervacation

Yamdrok Lake, also known by several names such as "Yumu Lake," "Baidi Lake," and "Yamuluk Lake," holds significant meaning in Tibetan culture. In Tibetan, "Yumu" translates to "Swan Lake," earning the name "Baidi Lake" due to its proximity to Baidi. "Yamdrok" refers to "Upper Pasture," "Yong" means "Jade," and "Tso" signifies "Lake." Together, they form "Upper Pasture Jade Lake," commonly abbreviated as "Yanghu" in Chinese. As the fifth-largest lake in the Tibet Autonomous Region, Yamdrok Lake is the largest inland "slightly salty water lake" in southern Tibet. Alongside Namtso and Mapam Yumtso, it is one of Tibet's three sacred lakes. Located just 100 kilometers from Lhasa city, it is a popular choice for nearby excursions, with a driving time of approximately 2.5 hours. Since there is no public transportation to Yamdrok Lake, visitors can opt for group tours or private car rentals. Regarding entrance fees, the No. 1 Yamdrok Lake Viewing Platform costs 60 RMB, Langbuqi Viewing Platform parking fee is 5 RMB, Dituo Temple entrance fee is 20 RMB, and Karola Glacier entrance fee is 50 RMB. For those looking to avoid the hassle of an early start, a half-day tour of Yamdrok Lake is a great option. Departing at noon and returning to Lhasa by evening allows for a relaxed experience of the lake's stunning scenery.

Yamdrok Yumtso, known as the "Swan Lake" in Tibetan, lies serenely amidst the northern foothills of the Himalayas. Situated at an altitude of 4,441 meters, the lake meanders like a sapphire ribbon embedded in the plateau. Its waters shift in hue with the play of light and shadow, appearing as a glassy fusion with the sky under clear conditions. The towering Ningjin Kangsha Peak is particularly striking, its snow-capped summit reflected in the lake's center, resembling a mirror connecting heaven and earth. The pastures around the lake change colors with the seasons—lush green carpets dotted with grazing cattle and sheep in summer, and pristine snow-covered landscapes in winter, exuding an air of sanctity. Legend has it that the lake is the dwelling place of a female guardian deity, and local Tibetans circumambulate the lake to offer prayers for blessings. When shrouded in mist, the lake and mountains appear ethereal, as if a celestial realm has descended to earth, showcasing both the grandeur of nature and the spiritual essence of faith.

The charm of Tibetan lakes Tibet is a mysterious land with clear skies and spectacular views of the plateau. Among them, the most captivating are the beautiful lakes scattered at altitudes of over 4,000 meters. This time, we will introduce the charms of three particularly popular lakes: Namtso Lake, Yamdrok Lake, and Manasarovar Lake.

The lake's surface, which reflects the sky like a mirror, is so beautiful that it seems like it is not of this world. At sunrise and sunset, the colors change from moment to moment, captivating all who see it.

Yamdrok Lake: Jade-like radiance Another representative lake is Yamdrok Lake. It is located on the way southwest from Lhasa, at an altitude of 4,441 meters. It is characterized by its emerald green lake surface, and the contrast with the blue sky is truly beautiful. The view from the pass overlooking the lake is spectacular, and it is a spot that photography lovers will not be able to resist. Lake Manasarovar: A lake of holy water Lake Manasarovar, located near the Indian border, is a sacred lake that is considered a holy place not only for Tibetan Buddhism, but also for Hinduism and Jainism. Located at an altitude of 4,590 meters, the quiet lake surface with the Himalayan Mountains in the background is a place where heaven and earth meet. The sight of pilgrims circling the lake can be said to be a symbol of spiritual travel. Travel tips All the lakes are at high altitudes, so it is essential to take measures against altitude sickness. It is recommended to make a reasonable schedule while getting your body acclimatized in advance in Lhasa or elsewhere and taking in plenty of water. Also, since the weather is prone to change, don't forget to bring cold weather gear and rain gear. Searching for memorable scenery Tibet's lakes are not just beautiful, but are also deeply connected to the faith and lives of the people of the region. By visiting them, you can experience part of the magnificent story woven by nature and culture. #TibetTrip #LakeNamtso #LakeYamdrok #LakeManasarovar #BreathtakingViews #HighlandScenery #Soul-CleansingTrip #UnexploredRegionsofChina #Let'sGoToChina
