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.

The Niyang River, a river on China's Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, is 307.5 kilometers long and has a drainage area of ​​17,500 square kilometers. It ranks fourth among the tributaries of the Yarlung Zangbo River. But the water volume is abundant, second only to its tributary, the Parlung Tsangpo River. The Niyang River originates from Cuomulangla on the west side of Mila Mountain in Tibet Autonomous Region, China, flows from west to east, and merges into the Yarlung Zangbo River near Zemen in Nyingchi County. When I first went to Tibet in 2008, the construction of the Niyang River Scenic Belt had just begun. Now it has been completed, including the viaduct of the Lhasa to Linlin Expressway across the Niyang River, which was unimaginable at the time. The scenic belt that was not built in 2008 was not beautiful, so no photos of that time were preserved. Figure 2 was taken on August 11, 2011, and the rest were taken on April 14, 2021. Most of them were beautiful photos taken by drones. #lake #travelinchina #snowmountain #tibet #linzhi #wetland #aerialphotography #bridge #meadow

The lake water is crystal clear, reflecting the surrounding snow-capped mountains, forests and blue sky, like a dream. The pure lake water is deep blue and charmingly green, and its color keeps changing with the light, as if nature's palette has been overturned. As the breeze blew, ripples appeared on the surface of the lake, like countless tiny silver scales flashing, or like silent poems rippling. The surrounding grassland pastures are another beautiful landscape of Xincuo. Herds of yaks graze leisurely on the grass; their figures blend into the vast grassland, forming a harmonious pastoral picture. In the distance, shepherds are riding horses, galloping freely on the grassland, free and heroic. The grassland is blooming with colorful wild flowers, red like fire, yellow like gold, purple like clouds. They sway in the wind like groups of dancing fairies, adding infinite romance and poetry to the grassland. Xincuo, a place that has been treated gently by time, heals everyone who comes here with its tranquility, beauty and literature, allowing people to find a spiritual home in this secret place.

Food Recommendations - Butter Tea: An essential drink in Tibetan daily life, mixing rich milk and tea flavors. Though it might take time to get used to, after a few sips you'll appreciate its richness. It helps restore energy and ward off plateau cold. - Tibetan Yogurt: Thick and sour, can be mixed with sugar to taste. Sweet and sour, rich in probiotics, aids digestion. - Tsampa: Roasted barley flour bread with a rich aroma, crispy and delicious. A distinctive staple food that pairs perfectly with butter tea. Travel Tips 1. Take altitude sickness prevention measures, such as taking medication in advance and avoiding strenuous exercise. 2. Tibet has strong UV radiation - bring sun protection items like sunscreen, sunglasses, and sun hats. 3. Respect local religious beliefs and customs. Always ask permission before taking photos at temples and other religious sites.

Because Linzhi has a lower altitude than Lhasa, Linzhi allows people to adapt more easily to the plateau environment. The recommended travel season must be from the end of March to mid-April, the appearance of peach blossoms, photos cannot express one percent. In Gala Peach Blossom Village, in the rapeseed field, there is a large peach forest not far away, and in the distance are the towering snow-covered snow-capped mountains. The word beauty alone is not enough to describe it. Seeing the Rizhao Jinshan Mountain at Namjagbarwa Peak, the turquoise lake water of Basongcuo Na, and the snow-capped mountains from the hotel's window, I can't think of any reason why others don't want to travel to Linzhi. Transportation: There are daily trains to and from Lhasa as well as accessible by plane Note: Most hotels with three stars or less and some four stars cannot receive Hong Kong and Macau travelers because they do not apply for a reception license. (I heard that many hotels have seen more Hong Kong and Macau tourists, have started to apply for reception licenses) The best, of course, to confirm with the hotel before check-in ~ #Tibet #Peach Blossom #林芝 #雪山 #MainlandTourism

🌸Linzhi, a paradise hidden in the snowy plateau Today I want to share with you the treasure place I have fallen in love with recently - Linzhi! This place is simply the "Little Jiangnan" of Tibet, with both magnificent snow-capped mountains and romantic peach blossoms. It is so beautiful that you don't want to leave. Hurry up and take out your notebook to write down my super comprehensive travel guide to Nyingchi! Transportation When coming to Nyingchi, it is most convenient to take a direct flight. Nyingchi Milin Airport is near the city. After getting off the plane, the feeling of instantly stepping into the tranquil plateau from the bustling city is so addictive! If you take a train, the scenery along the way is also beautiful. The Qinghai-Tibet Railway goes through mountains and ridges, snow-capped mountains, grasslands, and lakes. It's like watching a super beautiful landscape movie. It just takes a little longer, so you can choose according to your preferences. Accommodation There are many accommodation options in Nyingchi, ranging from star-rated hotels to characteristic homestays. The homestay I stayed in this time was right next to the Niyang River. When I opened the window, I could see the river flowing quietly and the snow-capped mountains in the distance. Waking up in the morning, listening to the birds singing and smelling the flowers, this feeling was so healing! If you have enough budget, I recommend staying at the Linzhi Sheraton. It offers a five-star experience with great service. You can also soak in the hot springs in the room and look at the stars. It is simply too luxurious. Itinerary Day 1: Nyingchi City + Niyang River When you first arrive in Nyingchi, take a walk around the city to experience the customs and culture of the Tibetan people. Then we went to the Niyang River. This river is so beautiful. The water is emerald green, like a flowing emerald. The willow trees on the river bank sway in the wind, and there are many water birds playing. I sat by the river, looking at this picturesque scenery, and I felt healed. By the way, don’t forget to buy a cup of sweet tea by the Niyang River. It will be so comfortable to sit by the river, drink the sweet tea and bask in the sun. Day 2: Lulang Forest + Lulang Town. We got up early and set out for Lulang Forest. The scenery along the way was beautiful. When I arrived at the Lulang Forest Sea, the scenery really shocked me. There were large tracts of virgin forests, lush and green, and snow-capped mountains quietly guarding in the distance. It was as if I had walked into a fairy tale world. When in Lulang Forest Sea, you must take a walk in the forest, breathe the fresh air and feel the charm of nature. At noon, we went to Lulang Town, where the Lulang Stone Pot Chicken is very famous. It is stewed with local specialty chicken and Matsutake mushrooms. It tastes delicious and you will never forget it after eating it. Day 3: Bomi Peach Blossom Valley + Laigu Glacier Bomi's Peach Blossom Valley is really the most beautiful place in Nyingchi. Every March and April, when the peach blossoms are in full bloom, the whole mountain is covered with pink peach blossoms. When the breeze blows, the petals fall, as if you are in a fairyland. I walked through the peach blossom forest, and every photo was as beautiful as a wallpaper, without any filter. After seeing the peach blossoms, I went to Laigu Glacier. The magnificence of the glacier really shocked me. The huge glacier extended from the top of the mountain. The texture of the glacier was clearly visible. Standing at the foot of the glacier, I felt so small. Day 4: Mount Namjagbarwa Mount Namjagbarwa is the iconic attraction of Nyingchi and the fifteenth highest peak in the world. I had been looking forward to seeing its true appearance for several days in advance. That morning, I got up very early and arrived at the observation deck before sunrise. I waited and waited, and finally, the sun came out. The top of Mount Namjagbarwa was illuminated by the sunlight, shining with golden light. The beauty is really indescribable. I was so excited that I almost cried, and quickly picked up the camera to record this beautiful moment. Food The food in Nyingchi is also unique. In addition to the Lulang stone pot chicken mentioned above, there are also Tibetan noodles, barley cakes, and yogurt. Every bite is full of Tibetan flavor. I particularly like Tibetan noodles. The noodles are chewy and the soup is rich. It is a perfect match with some pickles. Photography In Nyingchi, any shot can be a blockbuster. When taking photos of peach blossoms, remember to wear light-colored clothes, which go perfectly with the pink peach blossoms; when taking photos of glaciers, use a wide-angle lens to capture the magnificence of the glaciers; when taking photos of Mount Nanga Bawa, be sure to go at sunrise or sunset, as the light is the most beautiful at that time.

In early June, Nyingchi bid farewell to the pink peach blossoms and ushered in another visual feast. The 🌼golden rapeseed flowers🏵 and the snow-capped mountains are in the same frame, just like God overturned the palette, superimposing the green canyon, blue sky, white peaks and brilliant flower fields layer by layer, forming a strong plateau oil painting. 📆 Highlights of Linzhi in June Rapeseed Flower Season🏵: From the end of May to the middle of June, dozens of kilometers of flower fields are in full bloom on both sides of the Niyang River, along National Highway 318, and on the shores of Basongcuo Lake, with Tibetan-style houses dotted in between, like the Tibetan version of "Longing for Life". Snow-capped mountains never sleep: The tops of Mount Namjagbarwa and Mount Kalabailei are still covered with snow. When the clouds disperse in the early morning, the golden flower fields and the silver-white mountain peaks form an extreme contrast. Avoid the crowds: The summer peak season has not yet arrived, there are fewer tourists, the accommodation prices are affordable, and you can enjoy the tranquility of a secret place. ⚠️ Useful reminders ⛅️❄️Weather and clothing: 🌞The average daily temperature in June is 10-22°C, so you should wear short sleeves and a sun-proof jacket during the day, and a fleece jacket at night; when the rainy season comes, you should bring a folding umbrella and waterproof shoes. 🏔It is windy in high altitude areas (such as Mira Pass), so it is recommended to wear a windproof hat. 🌼The rapeseed fields are mostly cultivated by farmers. Do not step on the ridges and use your eyes instead of your hands to "pick" the beautiful scenery. 🌼 Linzhi in June is a love letter to the earth - the golden warmth, the loneliness of the snow-capped mountains, and the simplicity of the Tibetan villages all reach a perfect reconciliation at this moment. Bring your camera and poetry, and come to this summer date🥳! 🌼🏔️ #Tibet Travel #Tibet Nyingchi #Nyingchi #Snow Scene #trip #Tibet Lhasa #Rapeseed Field

Basum Tso, which means "green water" in Tibetan, is about 3,480 meters above sea level. It is the first national 5A-level natural scenic spot in Tibet and a holy lake of the Red Sect (Nyingma School). The lake is emerald green all year round and is surrounded by snow-capped mountains and dense primeval forests. It is known as a "paradise on earth". Beautiful lakes hidden deep within, glaciers, meadows and primeval forests interweave. Enjoy the peach blossoms reflected in the snow in spring. In summer, the greenery is lush and verdant. In autumn, the forests are dyed with colors. Winter sees the ice and holiness. Self-driving/chartered car: 1. Nyingchi→Basongcuo: about 120 kilometers, 2 hours' drive, turn to County Road 306 along the Linla Highway. 2. Lhasa → Basongcuo: about 360 kilometers, 5 hours' drive, passing Mila Pass (5013 meters above sea level).

Jieba Village Tibetan Homestay: Experience the Gongbu Tibetan customs and drink butter tea by the fire. ⚠️ Things to note Prevention of altitude sickness: The altitude is 3,480 meters. Avoid running and jumping when you first arrive. Prepare glucose and oxygen bottles. The weather is changeable: it rains a lot in the summer, so bring a jacket; the lake is partially frozen in the winter, so non-slip shoes are a must. Respect religious beliefs: Walk around the lake and circumambulate the prayer wheels in a clockwise direction, and do not take photos of the Buddha statues in the temple at will. Environmentally friendly travel: Bring your own garbage bags when hiking to protect the original ecology. The beauty of Basongcuo lies in its purity and mystery. Whether you are a devout believer circumambulating the lake or a traveler pursuing nature, you can find inner peace here. If time permits, you must go to Xincuo, which is the real "paradise"! 🏔️🚶♂️ #trip #TibetTravel #TibetTourism #TibetLyingchi #Lyingchi
