WINTER TERRYUnited States

Tibet's afterglow is too strong! My soul feels purified after returning!

Who else has been back from Tibet for a week but left their soul on the snowy plateau? 😭 1️⃣ Potala Palace · Lhasa The moment I stood in the square looking up, I truly understood what "sacred" means! 🎭 Climbing the 1,080 steps was a bit breathless, but entering the palace, the weight of a thousand years of history hits you—every Buddha statue and mural tells a story. Don’t forget to bring a 50-yuan bill for the iconic photo spot! 💰 📸 Tips: The night view is stunning! Yaowang Mountain Viewing Platform is the best spot for panoramic shots! 2️⃣ Yarlung Tsangpo Grand Canyon · Nyingchi Riding the scenic shuttle through the canyon, with the roaring Yarlung Tsangpo on one side and sheer cliffs on the other, was awe-inspiring to the point of weak knees! 🌊 Got lucky and saw the full view of Mount Namcha Barwa! The golden sunrise moment made me feel blessed by the sacred mountain! ✨ (PS: Legend says those who see the full view will be lucky all year~) 📸 Tips: Suosong Village is the perfect spot to view Namcha Barwa—stay overnight for sunrise! 3️⃣ Yamdrok Lake · Shannan After crossing the Gampa La Pass, Yamdrok Lake appeared like a ribbon out of nowhere! 💙 The unreal shades of blue, shimmering like crushed diamonds under the sunlight, left me speechless. Stacked mani stones by the lake carried prayers, and the wind smelled of freedom~ Remember to bargain for photos with yaks~ 📸 Tips: Drive along the lakeside road—the colors change from different angles! Drone shots are legendary! 4️⃣ Everest Base Camp · Shigatse After navigating the 108 bends of Everest Road, even altitude sickness couldn’t dampen the excitement! 🏔️ At 5,200 meters, gazing at Everest up close (crystal clear on good days), the contrast of insignificance and grandeur is unforgettable. At night, the starry sky felt within arm’s reach! 🌌 📸 Tips: Bring oxygen tanks and warm layers! The monument photo spot gets crowded—find your angle! 💬 Final thoughts: Photos capture less than 10% of Tibet’s beauty! Only by standing there can you feel its soul-stirring power. Don’t hesitate—go! Your Tibet journey is always worth it! ❤️
