Tibet Travel | Yamdrok Lake, Encounter the Purest Blue

🌊 Tibet Travel | Yamdrok Lake, Encounter the Purest Blue 🌊 Location: Langkazi County, Shannan City, Tibet 🚗 Transportation: About 2.5 hours by car from Lhasa 🎫 Ticket: 120 RMB (Viewing Platform) 💙 First Impression Yamdrok Lake, meaning 'Swan Lake' in Tibetan, is one of the three sacred lakes in Tibet. The first time I saw it, I was truly amazed by the pure blue! The lake water presents different shades of blue under the sunlight, from light blue to deep blue, like a giant gem embedded among the mountains. 📸 Photo Spots 1️⃣ Gangbala Mountain Pass Viewing Platform: At an altitude of 4,998 meters, it is the best place to overlook the entire Yamdrok Lake. Every shot is a masterpiece! 2️⃣ Prayer Flags by the Lake: The colorful prayer flags contrast beautifully with the blue lake water, showcasing the Tibetan style. 3️⃣ Lakeside: You can walk to the lakeside, touch the icy lake water, and feel the tranquility of the sacred lake. ⚠️ Notes 1. The altitude is high, so be aware of altitude sickness. Prepare oxygen bottles and Rhodiola in advance. 2. The UV rays are very strong, so sunscreen, sunglasses, and hats are essential! 3. Respect the local culture, do not step on prayer flags or litter. 🍵 Lakeside Rest Found a small tea house run by locals by the lake, ordered a pot of sweet tea, and stared at the lake, feeling time slow down. The local aunt was very hospitable and even taught us a few Tibetan phrases. ✨ The beauty of Yamdrok Lake is not just a visual enjoyment, but a spiritual cleansing. Standing by the lake, all worries are purified by this blue. If you come to Tibet, don't miss this place!
