Basum Tso in Tibet | A little Switzerland hidden in Tibet

"Basum Tso" also known as Cuogao Lake🌊, in Tibetan means "green water". The lake is at an altitude of 3480 meters, located 36 kilometers from Bahe Town, Gongbujiangda County, in the upper reaches of the Bahe River in the high mountain valley, it is a famous sacred lake and holy land of the Red Sect. In August 2017, it became the first natural scenic 5A tourist area in Tibet. 🎡 Attractions: 1⃣ Island in the heart of Basum Tso A small island in the middle of Basum Tso, connected to the land by a floating bridge. Tourists can walk up via this bridge or take a small boat. Legend has it that the island is a "hollow island", i.e., it is not connected to the lake bottom and floats on the lake. Although it is just a legend, it makes people feel the magic of nature. 2⃣ Cuozong Gongba Temple Located on the island in the lake, it is a famous Red Sect Nyingma temple in Tibet, built in the late Tang Dynasty, with a history of more than 1500 years. There is a peach and pine tree in the south of the temple. In spring, the peach blossoms and green pines contrast each other, which is very beautiful. 3⃣ Jieba Village At the foot of the scenic area of Basum Tso, there is an ancient village hidden -- Jieba Village, located deep in the scenic area in Cuogao Township. Only when you explore deep into the scenic area, you will find a paradise at the end of the lake. 4⃣ Xinco (very beautiful, worth a visit)✨ Xinco is an extended scenic spot inside Basum Tso, very beautiful, suitable for hiking, 6 kilometers, about 3 hours.

Super real Songzanlin (Basongtso Store)

1, The hardware is impeccable, the room has a smart toilet, electric towel rack, projector, ambient night light (it's the most reasonable lighting design in the hotels I've stayed in recently), but the standard room bed is tiny! 1.2m X 1.8m, isn't it impossible for tall people to stretch their legs? 2, Some thoughtful little things, goodnight drink (in a thermos), prepared a variety of drinks coffee and so on that you can make yourself 3, The scenery is stunning, the swimming pool under the snow mountain, the restaurant with a 270-degree view, the dock where you can sail on the lake, and the horse farm and so on, the soon-to-open Ancestor Bird, it's only a matter of time before it becomes a stop on the journey rather than a night at a hotel 4, Food, dinner is not bad, ordered mushroom stewed rice and vegetables and so on, apart from being expensive there is no problem, breakfast is very rich and delicious, afternoon tea is a bit perfunctory, probably considering that not many guests eat it 5, Service, the biggest complaint this time, the night before they said it was quite good, we checked in very late and didn't get afternoon tea, the room can be delayed until 2 o'clock to check out, if we leave early they can help us pack, breakfast until 10 o'clock and so on, the next morning, they first called to urge us to check out at 11 o'clock, because there are new guests booked? We disagreed, then said that afternoon tea can't be packed, only dine in, and said that breakfast is only until 9 o'clock, our communication process also said that we are very difficult to communicate, can't understand a bit. Above, can experience, encounter a good manager may have a better experience.

Xin Cuo - A serene place where you can hear your own heartbeat

Step by step, we have come to Xin Cuo, a nearly pristine holy lake. Around the holy lake, a small village, a few herding families, and a dozen yaks. The grassland under your feet, the blue sky above your head, the Tibetan tents nearby and the snow-capped mountains in the distance, a series of oil paintings are presented before your eyes. The most intoxicating thing for me is the pristine nature and simple people here, and the silence that can only be broken by a few bird calls. Here I really heard my heartbeat! If you don't believe it, you can try it too...

The Songzan Basongtso Linka Hotel is just too photogenic

The Songzan Basongtso Linka Hotel is just too photogenic, including dining and accommodation experiences. I stayed at the Songzan Basongtso Linka Hotel for two nights. I arrived at the hotel around six o'clock in the afternoon on the first day, where the welcome staff presented us with Hada and highland barley wine. After checking in, I went back to my room to take a few quick photos before heading to the backyard by the lake to build a Mani stone pile. The next day was sunny, and in the morning, I went hiking at New Tso, followed by a visit to the Cuo Gao village. I got back to the hotel quite early and took more photos inside the hotel, where every step revealed a beautiful scene. In the evening, I even saw the golden rays of the sunset on the mountain. Regarding dining, the breakfast options were quite diverse, similar to other Songzan hotels. For dinner on the first day, I had stir-fried dishes, which were mediocre in taste. I ordered twice-cooked pork with pickled vegetables, which was expensive and not tasty, with the pork being too fatty. The beef buns were good, with a crispy crust and quite delicious. On the second night, I had a sauerkraut pork knuckle hotpot, which was fairly tasty, and the portion was so large that two people couldn't finish it. The highland barley cake with honey was also quite delicious. See photos 13, 14. Regarding the room, the location was excellent, with a view of the snow-capped mountains from inside the room. There was a projector in the room, which was nice for watching shows at night. The only downside was that the toilet took too long to refill after flushing. Other amenities included a free nightly bedtime drink, similar to other Songzan hotels. There was also a free afternoon tea available every day from two to four-thirty.

Songzan Basongtso Linka Check-in at the tenth Songzan Hotel

At an altitude of 3480m, it is located in the historic Jieba Village, where villagers still retain the living traditions of the Gongbo Tibetan people. The hotel is adjacent to the Basongtso Lake, where the emerald-like waters reflect snow-capped mountains, forests, glaciers, and grasslands. The varying shades of green ripple out, connecting with the sky and distant mountains.

If you come to Tibet, be sure to stay a night at the Songtsam Hotel

Our stay at the Songtsam Basongtso Linka Hotel, located in Jieba Village within the Basongtso scenic area, was very enjoyable from the first experience; unfortunately, when we later went to Suosong Village, we were short on funds and only had a meal at the Songtsam Namchabarwa store, without the chance to stay. The environment: The hotel is secluded in its own corner, with an excellent viewing spot just out the back door, offering a more beautiful angle than the central scenic area of Basongtso Lake, surrounded by snow-capped mountains. The facilities: It has the feel of a resort, with full-length sliding glass doors that can be opened, wooden furniture decorations, and room locks made of copper keys, which are very tactile. Breakfast: The variety is not particularly rich, but it is very tasty. Service: One thing I really like about Songtsam is the staff's sense of pride and identification with Songtsam's corporate culture. The gentleman who received us at the front desk introduced us to Songtsam's philosophy and culture. He has worked in five Songtsam hotels and his love for the company was evident when he spoke about Songtsam. A hotel that can truly win the hearts of its employees makes us involuntarily full of good feelings towards Songtsam. Our butler, Zhaxi Yangzong, was a young girl who looked even younger than us, but she was very attentive from check-in, dining, to check-out The shuttle bus boy is always enthusiastic and smiling, with timely service. All the staff are very good👍

The snow view of Songzan Basongcuo Linka Hotel is the ceiling of the wild luxury hotel

This is my second stay at the Songzan Basongcuo Linka Hotel in Tibet's 5A scenic area. The hotel is located next to a lake where the snow from the sacred mountain called Burning Flame and Throne melts. Basongcuo is a sacred lake in the hearts of Tibetans. The emerald-like lake reflects the snow mountain. Even in the cold winter, the sacred lake of Basongcuo does not freeze, and the snow mountain is even more beautiful and majestic. The Senpu glacier grassland also nourishes the beautiful village. The Songzan Basongcuo Linka Hotel, which started trial operation in July 23 years ago, is the latest hotel opened by Songzan. It took 8 years to build. In the series of Songzan hotels, the hotels called Linka are larger in area, have more rooms, and have more complete facilities. The Tibetan word for Linka means a family picnic. Just like the Songzan Linka Hotel in Shangri-La, Songzan Basongcuo Linka has more than 130 rooms and suites. The facilities are very complete, including outdoor swimming pool, gym, western restaurant, coffee shop, bar, boutique shop, outdoor camp, etc. Because the Songzan Basongcuo Linka Hotel is located in the Basongcuo scenic area, no matter whether you are in the room or in the hotel lobby, restaurant, or by the pool, you can see the full view. On the second day of our stay, it started to snow. When we got up the next morning, the whole hotel was covered with snow, which was very beautiful. The hotel is new and has very complete facilities. The breakfast is very rich, and there are many choices for lunch and dinner. It can be said to be a food paradise. In addition, this time the hotel arranged for us to go to the new scenic area for forest hiking and shooting experience in Zalagou scenic area. The hotel can also experience off-road electric motorcycles, which feels super cool. I will introduce it later. In short, the Songzan Basongcuo Linka Hotel in winter is definitely the ceiling of the snow view wild luxury hotel. Every shot is a big picture...

Nyingchi: A Peach Blossom Paradise on the Snowy Plateau

Spring Romance in Flower Viewing: The Dreamy Wonderland of Nyingchi

At night, you can admire the starry dreamy night sky from the resort's terrace, feeling the tranquility and mystery of the plateau. The wild peach groves by the Nyang River are pleasing to the eye with their flourishing blossoms, creating a beautiful tapestry against the azure sky, pristine snow-capped mountains, and the jade-like Nyang River. Strolling along the riverbank, admiring the gorgeous peach blossoms while listening to the flowing river, feels like being in a fairyland.

On 3.26, the Holy Elephant Gate will open, each season has its beauty, and the scenery along the way is also a captivating painting! 🚗Travel method suggestion: If you have companions and sufficient time, it is recommended to charter a car or self-drive to enjoy the scenery along the way at your own pace, stopping wherever you like. About altitude sickness: Although I do not suffer from altitude sickness, for companions who do, it is a good choice to prepare glucose and adapt in Lhasa for two days. For minor discomfort, there is no need to rush to oxygen, consider oxygen only if really uncomfortable, and you can go to the hospital to get related medicines. Do not bathe, drink alcohol, or go clubbing upon first arriving in Lhasa, maintain sufficient good sleep, which helps to better adapt to the altitude sickness environment. 💕Solo travelers need not worry, you will surely encounter many like-minded new friends on the journey. Wishing every traveler a pleasant and unforgettable trip to Tibet! Encounter beauty🌈

Nyingchi: A Peach Blossom Paradise on the Snowy Plateau

In the distant snowy plateau, there is a land blessed by the heavens, which is Nyingchi, Tibet, a place full of mystery and vitality. Nyingchi, known as the 'Jiangnan of Tibet', is praised for its clear mountains and rivers, mild climate, and distinct seasons, making it more like a magical oasis compared to other regions of Tibet. In spring, when the peach blossoms are in full bloom, Nyingchi turns into a pink ocean. The beautiful scenery of the blooming peach blossoms not only attracts thousands of tourists but has also captivated countless poets and scholars. The great Tang Dynasty poet Du Fu once dreamed of the peach blossoms of Nyingchi in his poems, and though he never set foot there, his heart had already taken flight. Here, every peach blossom seems to tell an ancient tale, narrating the changes of history. Nyingchi is not only enchanting for its natural landscapes but is also one of the important birthplaces of Tibetan culture. The legendary stories of Pangu creating the world and Shennong tasting hundreds of herbs have left deep marks here. The predecessor of the Potala Palace, Tsongzanlin Monastery, is located here, witnessing the prosperity and development of Tibetan culture. Walking through the streets and alleys of Nyingchi, one can feel the strong religious atmosphere and ethnic characteristics everywhere. Every temple, every prayer flag, and every scripture speaks of the devotion to faith. The natural beauty of Nyingchi is even more astonishing. The Yarlung Tsangpo River meanders here, with undulating mountains and swirling clouds, resembling a natural ink painting. Along the Nyang River, wildflowers are everywhere, the grass is green, and yaks and sheep graze leisurely by the river, presenting a peaceful and harmonious pastoral life. Every scene here is like a painting meticulously arranged by nature, bringing peace of mind and making one forget the troubles of the world.

Yarlung Zangbo, you are in the middle of autumn. With a total length of 504.6 kilometers and an average depth of 2268 meters, the Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon is the world's largest canyon. It is known as the "last human myth" and is regarded by scientists as "the keyhole that opens the door to the history of the earth." In the Tibetan language, Yaru refers to the sky from the sky. The autumn colors of Yaluzang are very charming. Every year in late October, the golden and dark green leaves are intertwined, like a painting that attracts many photographers. Today's weather is not ideal. After an afternoon, although I can't see the whole picture of Mount Kinabalu, I can still see the main peak of Mount Nanga Bawa. Waiting, just because it is worth it.

The Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon, the deepest canyon in the world, is called the last secret on the earth. It has both the harsh and cold of the Himalayas and the warmth of the Amazon River. When you visit the Grand Canyon with the scenic car, you will arrive first. In the Love Square, you can see that the distant Nanjia Bawa Peak is like a shy girl who is finally unveiled, and the huge triangular peaks are clearly visible. The height of 7782 meters in Nanga Bawa is also proud of the world. Geographers like to analyze the peculiarity of Nanga Bawa from a scientific point of view. The Tibetans think it is a holy place and call it "the mountain." "As a general tourist, I just sigh for the beauty of its masculine beauty. The peaks of the triangle are vigorous and powerful, and the king is demeanor." The Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon is the formation of the Himalayas movement and the rushing of the river. After passing through two high valleys at an altitude of over 6,000 meters, it forms a peculiar U-shaped turn around the Nanga Bawa Peak, and the American branch. The Grand Canyon is exactly the same, but it is longer and deeper. [Tips] Transportation and tickets: The scenic spot is very large and there is no public transportation. So if you want to visit the Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon, you can only participate in the tour or chartered car. You can usually travel in Lhasa or Linzhi. The group, the group price generally includes tickets. Diet: There are restaurants in the scenic spot, most of them are opened by Sichuanese. The taste is not bad Note: Although the altitude is not too high, about 2880 meters, but after all, it is a plateau area, pay attention to high anti.

The Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon (Part 2)

The average elevation of the Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon is over 3,000 meters, with its steep and deep terrain reaching an erosional depth of 5,382 meters. It features nine vertical natural zones, ranging from high mountain glacial zones to low valley tropical seasonal rainforests, making it the most complete and comprehensive place for vertical natural zones in the world.

Is Motuo, recommended by Hu Ge, really worth visiting?

It was once the only county in China that required a ticket for entry, and it was also the last county in China to have roads built to it. There are snow-capped mountains, waterfalls, and ancient villages here, and every scene is breathtaking. It is Tibet's Motuo~ ~ How to get to Motuo? 🚗Self-driving: Currently, the Zhamo Highway is the route to enter Motuo, but the road is not open to traffic after 8 p.m., and Motuo implements a system of single exit and double entry, for example, exit only on the 1st and entry only on the 2nd. 🚌Bus: Currently, there is only one bus from Nyingchi to Motuo, which can be taken from Bayi Town in Nyingchi (departing at 8 a.m.) ⚠Attention: ✔A border pass is required for Motuo, as well as an ID card, otherwise, entry is not allowed ⏰Best time to travel: April to May and September to November each year ~ About Motuo Motuo, which means 'flower' in Tibetan, is a county under the jurisdiction of Nyingchi City in the Tibet Autonomous Region, and it is the only county in China that hangs on the southern slope of the Himalayas. For a period of time, a ticket was required to enter, but since March 16, 2023, Motuo has announced the cancellation of the entrance fee. ~ 🔥Must-visit attractions Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon The world's largest canyon, with dense rivers and lakes, marshes, snow-capped mountains, and glaciers, offers many magnificent and strange sights. Every year from March to April, the banks of the canyon are filled with dense wild peach forests, and from above, one can see the endless torrential river water and peach blossoms🌸, which is incredibly beautiful. Guoguotang Big Bend This is a symbolic place of the Yarlung Zangbo River, and because it looks like a lollipop from above, it has this cute name. From the viewing platform, you can see the banana plantations and the Yarlung Zangbo River, with very nice scenery, perfect for photography.
