Spring Bliss in Tibet's Linzhi 🌸🏔️
#cherryblossom2024
If you mention the sacred allure of Tibet amidst its snow-capped peaks and ancient temples,
It's the grandeur of prayer flags gracefully dancing in the breeze.
But when spring arrives in Tibet,
In the enchanting realm of Linzhi,
It's a spectacle of vibrant purples and fiery reds unfurling after the Spring Festival,
Every year, as late February transitions into early March,
Under the vast blue sky, against the backdrop of snowy mountains,
The peach blossoms emerge, casting a spellbinding contrast,
As the flowers blanket the landscape, creating a sea of delicate blooms,
Endless rows of peach blossoms stretching into the horizon,
And the rivers flowing as gently as whispers.
In this picturesque spring tableau, the creatures of the plateau wander,
While the gentle spring breeze weaves tales more enchanting than those of Jiangnan. 🌸🏔️
In February and March each year, as the majestic mountains remain cloaked in pristine white snow,
The hillsides of Linzhi burst forth with peach blossoms, amidst glaciers and snow-capped peaks.
From mid-March to mid-April annually, the fields and ridges become adorned with a labyrinth of wild peach blossoms, crisscrossing in every direction, creating a breathtaking sight that captures the heart of all who behold it. 🌸🏔️ #Tibet #Linzhi #SpringSplendor #PeachBlossoms #NatureMagic
Songzanlin Monastery, Shangri-La
You must visit here when you arrive in Shangri-La! It is the largest Lama temple in Yunnan Province, over 300 years old. The entrance fee is 90 yuan per person. The interior is very beautiful. You can easily take a taxi to the temple, and then take a bus again. Inside the temple, you have to climb many steps to reach the top. It is recommended to bring an oxygen can and smelling salts, as they can be very helpful. On the way back, if you stay in the ancient town, you can take a bus in front of the entrance to go down to the ancient town for only 2 yuan per person.

Explore the Charming Lhasa City
Many peoples only know that Potala Palace is a Must-See in Lhasa, and actually it is. But there are more brilliant landmarks to discover in this city. When touring Lhasa, you should also not miss the Jokhang Temple and Barkhor Street. While around the holy Jokhang is the bustling Barkhor Street, where you can explore the old market, as well as do kora with locals. A classic Lhasa city tour normally needs at least two days, and will let you get the first impression of Tibet. #lhasa #tibet #potalapalace #jokhangtemple #barkhorstreet #timetotravel #urbanexplorer #coupletrip #passionpassport #historicculture #unforgettableexperiences #china #travelinspiration
Go to Tibet.
Even though I generally do not like travelling with groups - your companies - Tibet was the exception I had to accept if I wanted to go. As foreigners we have to go we need a special permit that tours will help you obtain.
These are pictures of many different places during my 9 day tour in Tibet. All tour companies provide more all less the same Itinerary to groups of foreigners with the highlight being Everest base camp.
My general itinerary
- Xining to Lhasa by train for slow gain in altitude
- Lhasa - Shigatse - Gyantse - Everest Base Camp - Shigatse - Lhasa.
- with famous places visits like the Potala Palace, Jokhang Temple, Yamdrock lake etc.
Be ready to spend most your time in a coach to move from place to place. The place is big but the views are amazing. #china #tibet #chinatravel

Tibet : expectations and reality
that's it! finally I'll go to Tibet... I thought about it, like I'm going to clean my karma and put all my thoughts in order😍 but...
there're some restrictions for foreigners... so we used one agency to plan our trip for three of us from Kunming...
there's really expensive trip and all agencies have the same programs... so we decided to go for 9 days with visiting Everest base camp🤩
I was so existed and tried not to pay attention for little disadvantages in the beginning.
first two days we spent in Lhasa. because you should used to altitude. there were already some changes and strange things... 🧐
then our trip had gotten started... we spent most of time in the bus, because we should get EBC in two days... every stop wasn't longer than 30 minutes, excluding lunch, of course (only Chinese cuisine, btw).... finally we had gotten the EBC... the weather was terrible and we all were sad... and the next morning we decided to leave a little longer to wait maybe weather become better instead of visiting one monastery ain Singatse... and the miracle came🤩 but as soon as we saw the peak we rushed to leave the base camp😒 guide assured us we should go ASAP... the next day we rushed to namtso lake, which we were going to visit the day later... so we arrived after 5pm to enjoy our time there till the park were closed🤔🤐 guide told that's because we could have more time at last day in Lhasa for shopping🤮 so finally we rushed from interesting nature spots just for shopping... that two last days in rush became the reason of my frustration😓
so the trip wasn't treatment, but vice versa I felt like I was tired and haven't enjoyed the time there...
so my expectations were much more than reality🤧
wish everyone had better trip to Tibet. it's an unreal place. it's another world😌 it worth to be seen... but plan your trip carefully according to your interests😊#tibet

The Trip Of A Lifetime - Tibet
In early October 2021, my friend Anna and I ventured to the on the adventure of a lifetime and a bucket list trip…an 8 day tour through the highest region on earth…we made our way to the Tibet Autonomous Region.
To say this trip was life changing feels accurate. There was so much to see and learn about. We saw so many famous and breathtakingly beautiful landmarks. These included lakes, glaciers, palaces, and of course, the highlight…Mount Everest Base Camp.
Pro Tip: Bring Advil and drink plenty of water! We were lucky enough to bypass the altitude sickness but there was oxygen on our bus just in case.
Booking: We booked with Joy Tours in China. They were great!
If you have a chance to visit Tibet, go! I cannot recommend it enough!

The largest salt water lake in Tibet
Words can't describe how truly majestic and serene
this place is. One of the last stops on my trip
through Tibet was NAMTSO LAKE.
This was the most vibrant lake and it stretched on
for ages. It lies at an elevation of 4,718 meters or
about 15,500 feet and is the largest salt lake in the
autonomous region.
Getting to the lake was an especially unique
experience. After checking in to get out entrance
tickets, we boarded an eco friendly bus and
travelled 20 minutes to get to the lake. It is very
serene and well preserved. There is also a
monastery near by to visit.
It was quite windy during our visit so I highly
recommend a jacket and ear warmers. We were
there in early October.

Stunning Glacier in Tibet
On our drive through Tibet we stopped to see Karola Glacier. This glacier has a peak elevation of 5560 meters and had so much snow in early October. It is located in Shigatse in the Tibet Autonomous Region and is located close to Mount Naiqing Kangsang, which is one of the four tallest mountains in Tibet.
We passed here after spending our morning viewing the stunning Yamdrok Lake and then continued on our way towards the highlight of our trip…Everest Base Camp!
Admission price: 5 RMB (≈$0.80)

Epic view - Lookout to Mount Everest, Tibet
The title really says it all but just wow! The view was incredible, the excitement was overwhelming. We stopped at Gyawu La Pass on our drive to Mount Everest Base Camp and we’re in awe of the beautiful sight. This was a quick stop we took before transferring to an eco friendly bus that took us the rest of the way to the base of Mount Everest. It really was a bucket list and life changing trip. I can’t recommend it enough…if you are able to travel to Tibet, go! 🥰
If you live in China, you can travel to Tibet with a tour group. We went with JoyTravel and they were wonderful. :)

A sight you have to see to believe! 🌍
This lake is one of the prettiest I’ve seen in my life and is regarded by some as the most beautiful lake in the world. Yamdrok Lake is located near Shigatse in the Tibet Autonoumous Region. It stretches 130km in length and is also known as the green jade lake for its smooth surface and color hues from the reflection of the sunlight.
If you are living in China, you can travel to Tibet with a tour company! We used JoyTours and they were wonderful.

Potala Palace - Tibet Autonomous Region
Getting there - Book with a tour group to get to Tibet. We used JoyTravel in China and they were wonderful. :)
Take a moment to stop and catch your breath, the Potala Palace sits at an elevation of 3700 meters about 12,100 feet. We spent time hiking up and through each room. The many rooms of the palace were exquisite and it was such a treat to learn about the history of each location. Photography is not permitted inside, however, this made the experience seem even more special and we were able to take in the sights without any distractions.

Attractions - Potala Palace is the most famous one in Lhasa but there are many other temples and places to see.
Hotels - there is not a big range of hotels, but you can easily find one. Usually your travel agency will take care of that.
Food & Restaurants - The food has a lot of variety, you can also find Burger King and Macdonalds. I loved the yak meat.
Shopping - you can find many places in downtown to buy souvenirs and gifts or traditional items from Tibet.

Rabse Nunnery, Karola Glacier, Yumdroke Lake
The finale of my Tibet trip during the new year holiday in the year 2022 was with visits to Rabse Nunnery in Gyantse, Karola Glacier, and beautiful Yumdroke Lake.
As much as I enjoyed this beautiful nature, felt awfully sorry for the generations to come as there might be a little chance for them to enjoy what I enjoyed today with melting glaciers due to climate change. Being reminded again of the importance of #sustainabletravel.

2022 NYE at Tibet
Planning a trip to Tibet? You will be most likely to start your journey from Lhasa, the capital of Tibet, for two reasons, easy to fly in from anywhere and to adjust your body to high altitude. While spending days in Lhasa must check out the Potala Palace before hitting the road to places like EBC (Everest Base Camp). Indulge yourself with rich culture and religious history, and be ready for an adventure!

Potala Palace - Lhasa - Tibet
Potala Palace, immense religious and administrative complex in Lhasa, southern Tibet Autonomous Region, China. It is situated atop Mar-po-ri (Red Mountain), 130m above the Lhasa River valley, and rises up dramatically from its rocky base. Potrang Karpo (completed 1648; White Palace) once served as the seat of the Tibetan government and the main residence of the Dalai Lama; from the mid-18th century it was used as a winter palace. Potrang Marpo (1694; Red Palace) houses several chapels, sacred statues, and the tombs of eight Dalai Lamas; it remains a major pilgrimage site for Tibetan Buddhists.
King Srong-brtsan-sgam-po commissioned the building of a palace in Lhasa in the 7th century. Significantly smaller and less elaborate than its 13-square-km successor, it was named the Potala (“Pure Land” or “High Heavenly Realm”) for reasons that are not historically documented, although Mount Potala in India seems the likely source. Tibetan Buddhists acknowledge the Dalai Lama as the incarnation of Avalokiteshvara (Chinese: Guanyin), a bodhisattva whose home was on Mount Potala.
Of more than 1,000 rooms in the Potala, the ones considered most holy are the Chogyal Drubphuk and the Phakpa Lhakhang, remnants from the original palace of Srong-brtsan-sgam-po; the latter houses the sacred Arya Lokeshvara (Avalokiteshvara) statue. More than 200,000 statues and 10,000 altars are located within the sacred complex.

Jokhang Temple - Lhasa - Tibet
The Jokhang Temple is the holiest temple in Tibet, housing the life-size image of Buddha Jowa Sakyamuni. The outstanding architecture style and devoted pilgrimage are the best highlights of this 1300-year-old monastery.
Not being the largest or the oldest Tibetan monastery, but Jokhang Temple is the most revered and intensely spiritual sacred monastery in Tibet because of its important role in the development of Buddhism in Tibet. More importantly, the Jokhang Temple houses the one of a kind treasure of world Buddhism - the life-size image of 12-year-old Jowa Sakyamuni which has become the most revered idol in whole Tibetan region.
At the same time, the Jokhang Temple is more than 1,300 years old now while some other famous monasteries, such as Drepung Monastery, Tashilhunpo Monastery, Ganden Monastery are only around 600 years old. As the spiritual center of Tibetan Buddhism, constant swarms of pilgrims from different parts of Tibet come to Jokhang and prostrate outside the temple to the Buddha.
In 2000, the Jokhang was included in the UNESCO World Heritage sites as an extension to the Potala Palace.
