Mapang Yumco | Finally took a picture of the house by the "sea"

| Finally took a picture of the house by the "sea". Mapang Yumco is one of the three major holy lakes in Tibet, it is the freshwater lake with the highest transparency, mainly replenished by glacial meltwater and rainwater, and there are many hot springs distributed around it. On the hill by the lake, there is a temple called Ji Wu Temple. The temple stands quietly on the high ground, the prayer flags outside the temple flutter in the wind, and the believers climb the mountain along the trail to worship. No matter how the clouds churn and the wind howls, it always gives people a sense of calm. There is a road next to Ji Wu Temple that winds down to the small village by the lake. The houses are white and yellow, and they look particularly bright next to the blue lake. I have always wanted to take a picture of the house and the sea in the same frame, and now it has been realized, it is a photo I really like. There is also a cliff next to Ji Wu Temple. I happened to meet a warm-hearted brother who helped me find the way and showed me the video he took. The Mapang Yumco under the cliff is really beautiful, reminding me of the white cliffs in England. Unfortunately, the wind was too strong at the time and the drone couldn't take it. But I saw the red-billed gulls flying against the wind, the stronger the wind, the more vigorous they flew, this is probably "Life is not about how to live through the storm, but how to dance in the rain". If the weather is good, you can also see the main peak of the Gangdise Mountains - Gang Rinpoche Peak and Namunani Peak of the Himalayas. 📍Location: Pulan County, Ali Region, Tibet 💰Tickets: The parking area next to Ji Wu Temple is free, if you want to go inside the scenic area by the lake, you need to pay 🚗How to get there: There is no public transportation, you can drive/charter a car to get there, just navigate to "Ji Wu Temple"
