Its trunk reaches into the lake, as if drawing the divine water of the snowy land. This is the aisle of Nyainqentanglha Mountain, known as the holy gate to heaven, a sacred place for Tibetan Tantric Buddhism practice. 🚗 **Nagqu Pass** A must-pass on the way to Namtso. Standing here and looking north, you will see the breathtaking beauty of Namtso, as if the whole world is at your feet. 🌄 **Nyainqentanglha Mountain viewing platform** This is a great location to admire the main peak of Nyainqentanglha Mountain. Snow-capped peaks, rolling mountains, prayer flags fluttering in the wind, every spot is a beautiful picture. -------------------- Travel tips: 🎈Local customs: Respect Tibetan culture, avoid touching religious taboos, and do not disturb the lives of herders on the Nagqu Grassland. 📸Photo spots: The night view of the Potala Palace is stunning, don't miss it! Namtso Lake in Nagqu is also a great place for photography! 🍽️Food: Lhasa Tibetan yogurt is a must-try, and the yak beef hot pot in Nagqu is also amazing.
