🏔️"Suddenly, I want to go to Tibet"🌈 This is the summit of thousands of mountains, the source of myriad rivers, this is Tibet, the mysterious land atop the roof of the world. The mountains are captivating, the great lakes deeply tranquil, amidst the clouds, rain, frost, and the mortal world, here lies a memory code that shakes the soul. 🛣️Why is Tibet so enchanting? The streets of Lhasa are bathed in sunlight, red walls and golden roofs whisper secrets of a millennium. Prayer wheels spin, Sanskrit chants resonate, the power of faith is a miracle that transcends time and space. 🏞️【Why go to Tibet? This is the answer】 A day in Lhasa is to see all beings and oneself. Potala Palace is endlessly fascinating, it is an eternal dream, a legend of thousands of years. Jokhang Temple is never enough, it is a realm of transience, a faith of thousands of years. Barkhor Street is endlessly charming, it is an old street, a piece of ancient affection, a legacy of love. 🚶‍♂️【In Nyingchi, take a good walk with oneself】 On the third day of the trip, we walk alongside the Nyang River. Taking a transfer vehicle, we pass through the primeval forest to reach the remote Sangtung pasture. Then, embark on a 6-8 kilometer experiential hike. Walking past streams reflecting snow-capped peaks, over mountain paths with fallen dry trees, deep into the forest to the glaciers, and finally arriving at the tranquil shores of Nyingchi Lake. 🏨【Stay in an oxygen bar, breathe with nature】 Awaken in the oxygen bar in the early morning. While there are fewer visitors, stroll onto the heart of the lake's island. The island, like a gem set in the emerald lake, leisurely wander in the over 600-year-old Tsodzong Gompa, quietly admiring the lake's hues. 🏞️【Enter Sosong Village, encounter another perspective of the great canyon】 Sosong Village, beneath is the ever-flowing Yarlung Tsangpo, looking up at Namcha Barwa, the village is dotted with century-old wild ancient trees. Admire the grandeur of the canyon from another perspective, with a view of Namcha Barwa peak right outside the window of the residence. 🌄【After Namcha Barwa, there is no sunset to look back on】 Approaching Namcha Barwa, one of the world's most beautiful peaks, we first take a scenic shuttle to tour the canyon area, delving deep under the mountains and snow peaks, feeling the shock of the world's most charming canyon. 🏰【Whoever sees Samye Monastery, can avoid the gates of evil realms】 Samye Monastery, this sacred land, every brick and tile is imbued with ancient wisdom, every ray of sunlight is filled with holy blessings. I step into that solemn hall, feeling the universal illumination of Buddha's light. 🌿【Every step, a trace of the soul】 If the Zen sounds of a simple practice ground are the mountain springs, then the Buddha's words here are the pervasive sunlight: warm, bright, cleansing the soul. 💧【The blue Yamdrok Lake, with a spirited heart】 What exactly does Yamdrok Lake resemble, like a dream. This dream traverses the peaks of snow mountains, under the blue sky, beside the grasslands, it reflects myriad scenes, it tells endless stories. 🌾【To obtain a fragrance, is to touch all things in the world】 Handmade Tibetan incense production is a dance of the soul, a soaring of thoughts. When our fingers gently touch the spices, it's as if we've touched the soul of nature. Everyone has their own "holy land." It might be a starry sky, a grassland, or perhaps expectations hidden in the heart. Some say, one day, the holy land will be Tibet.

Youth has no price tag, getting injections all the way to Lhasa, the impromptu Tibet trip of two sisters. Day1-2: A routine of hotel and hospital. Day3: Barkhor Street and its surrounding areas, indulging in various recommended eateries and fun places suggested by outsiders to outsiders. Day4: Planned to visit Potala Palace and the Heaven Post Office, as well as Medicine King Mountain, but ended up being brainwashed by an auntie right after lunch into taking a limited one-day 'Tibetan beauty' photo shoot. Originally planned for the last day, by the time we finished choosing photos, all the attractions were closed, leaving us to casually enjoy the night view. Day5-6: A two-day tour in Nyingchi, can't remember the names of all the places we visited, just know we stayed by the Yarlung Tsangpo River, with a view of Mount Namjagbarwa from the window, a sight not often seen by many, not sure if it counts as 'sunlit golden mountain'. Day7: What a coincidence, it was November 1st, the start of winter travel in Tibet, with most attractions free of charge. Saved 200 yuan visiting Potala Palace, climbing up to the 13th floor was indeed tiring, but the guided tour was really interesting. The exit leads to the Heaven Post Office and the song 'A'Diao', just a pity that Medicine King Mountain was temporarily closed for renovation. Started visiting popular snack shops, ending up with a mouth ulcer. Day8-11: A four-day tour to Mount Everest, had planned an additional five-day tour to Namtso, but it was closed due to snowfall during those days. Left some regrets, will visit again when the 'Gate of the Holy Elephant' is open. Along the 318, first visited Yamdrok Lake, a blue that can't be captured by a phone, followed by Karola and others, hung prayer flags, scattered Lungta, stayed in Shigatse, took the classic tourist photo at Everest, got my scalp wind-chapped while squatting for the 'sunlit golden mountain'. It's a pity that the base camp was canceled, where's the promised stargazing and wild disco? The 108 bends in the mountain road could confuse me, casually snapping photos at Qilin Gorge. Day12: Back to Lhasa, indulging in hotpot and meat, leisurely strolling around Day13: Leisurely lunch, then the ✈️ back to Shenzhen in the afternoon. In summary, if you don't go to Tibet, you'll always long to go; when you're in Tibet and not feeling well, you can't wait to go home. So, before entering Tibet, you really need to plan well and rest well. If you ask me if I want to go again, at least not in the near future. If I do, it would be a self-driving trip to Ali!!!
