    My first visit to Qilin Gorge was truly stunning! Upon entering the scenic area, the staff greeted us with warm smiles. They not only patiently explained the route but also reminded us of the best viewing times and photo spots. Their service was meticulous and attentive throughout the entire experience. Even more remarkable, there were no cookie-cutter commercial stalls; only pristine canyon scenery, with roaring waterfalls and shady trees. Every photo was a masterpiece. Tickets were reasonably priced, and the cafeteria was a delight – the stewed chicken with potatoes was tender and flavorful, and the vegetables were refreshing and delicious. For just 20 yuan per person, you could eat a full meal. It's an excellent value! Highly recommended for those who want to connect with nature!

    Looking down from the Jiawula Mountain, the winding mountain road in the snow and fog is the famous 108 turns. Although it is better to pursue poetry and distant places when the sky is clear and the wind is gentle, in such weather, my wife and I stood on the top of the 5,201-meter Jiawula Mountain with our clothes wrapped tightly, without distraction, because it was really cold. We have never hugged each other so tightly, and the so-called mutual support is perfectly interpreted here, and the beautiful scenery is in our hearts. We rented Master Suolang's car from Gangga Town for 600 yuan to go to the Everest Base Camp Scenic Area. We spent a day to play and stayed at the first-class European Cup Hengyang Hotel. The next day, we took Master Suolang's car again, passed 108 turns and Jiawula Pass, and went to Baiba Village to return to Shigatse. Speaking of altitude sickness, the car turned around on the winding mountain road, which made us a little confused and dizzy. Master Suolang hummed a little song and cured us, because he was very talkative and kept talking about this and that to distract our attention. On the contrary, when we reached the top of the mountain, we were busy taking pictures and watching the scenery. We breathed smoothly and our minds were much clearer. Sometimes we struggle with the scenery here. Is it better to look up from the bottom of the mountain or look down from the top of the mountain? Friends, anyway, I prefer to look down from the top of the mountain, especially standing on the top of Jiawula Mountain, watching the mountains dancing silver snakes and the plains galloping wax elephants, which is magnificent. Friendly reminder, we rented a car for 600 yuan, which includes pick-up, so Master Suolang's car rental price is also very favorable.

    When you go to Tibet, you must visit Mount Everest. Although not everyone can reach the top of the mountain, it is beautiful to see the golden mountain in the sun at the Everest Base Camp. Looking up at the Milky Way starry sky at night is indescribably beautiful!

    Mount Everest, your towering stature inspires immense awe, your broad chest inspires boundless yearning, and your magnificent face brings a breathtaking sense of tranquility. Those who have seen you say: "Seeing you brings no regrets, and hearing your call is deafening, transporting the soul." Mount Everest, you must use your divine presence to protect all living beings, allowing more people to draw near and make pilgrimages to you. Humanity and nature, like God, require harmonious coexistence. Those who make the pilgrimage to Everest Base Camp must embody the spirit of protecting the natural resources of this sacred mountain, cherishing them as you would your own eyes, and ensuring the enduring power of Mount Everest.

    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.

    Gangbala Mountain: Touch the Center of the World and Encounter the Sky-Mirror of Yamdrok Lake If you crave a journey that transcends the scenery, Gangbala Mountain offers the answer—not only is it the "King of Mountains," but it is also recognized by Hinduism, Tibetan Buddhism, Bon, and Jainism as the "Center of the World." It's more than just a geographical peak; it's a dome of faith and spirit. The moment you stand at the pass, you'll understand: the meaning of mountains is not just about climbing, but about returning. I. Why is Gangbala Mountain worth visiting? 1. Divine Land, Holy Temple of Many Religions Gangbala Mountain is revered by many religions as the axis of the universe, and is said to be the abode of the gods. Circumambulations, prayer flags, and mani piles... every step feels like a dialogue with millennia-old beliefs. If you seek spiritual resonance during your journey, this place offers a sense of transcendental tranquility and power. 2. A breathtaking view of the sacred lake from the mountain Stand at Gangbala Pass (5,030 meters above sea level) and overlook Yamdrok Lake—the blue tears of the northern Himalayas! The lake's color shifts with the light of the sky, from Tiffany blue to emerald green, like a fallen lens from the gods. This is a photographer's paradise and a hidden haven for spiritual healing. 3. A Symphony of Primitive and Purity Desolate rock formations, whistling wind horses, the simple smiles of the Tibetan people... Gangbala Mountain preserves the most authentic atmosphere of Tibet. Free from over-commercialization, it offers a pure collision of nature, mountains, and faith. 2. How to Reach Gangbala Pass Smoothly? 1. Departure Point: Lhasa The distance from Lhasa to Gangbala Pass is approximately 70-100 kilometers (depending on your departure point), and the drive takes approximately 2.5 hours. We recommend chartering a car or sharing a ride (book in advance through your travel agency or hotel). Along the way, you can stop at the Yajiang River Valley Viewing Platform to take photos with the docile Tibetan mastiffs and lambs (remember to have change). 2. Route selection (1) Conventional route: Lhasa → Qushui County → Gangbala Mountain Road (S307 Provincial Road). The winding mountain road has many bends, but the road conditions are good. (2) Recommended time: Depart early in the morning to avoid afternoon clouds; the best time to view Yanghu Lake is from noon to afternoon on a sunny day (the lake is most gorgeous when the sun is directly shining). (3) Altitude sickness tips: The mountain pass is over 5,000 meters above sea level. It is recommended to prepare oxygen cylinders and glucose in advance, slow down your movements, and avoid running vigorously. 3. Tickets and tips (1) You need to buy a Yanghu Lake scenic area ticket (120 yuan/person) to visit the Gangbala Pass viewing platform, but if you only want to enjoy the lake at the mountain pass, you do not need to enter the paid viewing platform (there are excellent views on the roadside). (2) Respect local beliefs: Do not step on prayer flags or mani piles, and circle the prayer points in a clockwise direction. (3) Clothing suggestions: Windproof jacket + sunglasses + sunscreen! The wind at the mountain pass is strong and the ultraviolet rays are strong, but the sun is strong.

    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.
