Tibet, the most beautiful place >ʍ<

Come to Tibet🚩, where the sky is so blue it can heal all your worries, and the snow-capped mountains and lakes are as beautiful as paintings—every shot is postcard-worthy! Though the altitude is high, it's absolutely worth it~ 🏔 Must-visit attractions: 📍 Potala Palace Ticket: ¥200, advance booking recommended The highest-altitude palace in the world, with its red and white walls contrasting against the blue sky—utterly breathtaking! Don’t forget to bring a ¥50 bill to snap a photo at the iconic spot! 📍 Jokhang Temple Ticket: ¥85, open from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM A sacred site of Tibetan Buddhism, where you can see devout pilgrims circling the temple. The golden roof glitters under the sun, creating a divine atmosphere. 📍 Namtso Lake Ticket: ¥120, recommended to hire a private car One of Tibet’s three holy lakes, the water is unbelievably blue. The best time to visit is from May to September. 📍 Yamdrok Lake Ticket: ¥120, suitable for a day trip A gem-like lake that changes shades of blue under different light. The viewing platforms offer stunning photo opportunities. 📍 Barkhor Street Free to explore, best visited in the morning Lhasa’s oldest pilgrimage circuit, brimming with Tibetan culture. Great for buying local handicrafts. ⚠ Practical tips: 1. The UV rays in Tibet are intense! Sunglasses, sunscreen, and a hat are must-haves. 2. Avoid showering immediately after arriving in Lhasa—give your body 2 days to adjust to the altitude. 3. Carry chocolates or candies to combat mild altitude sickness. 4. Always bring your ID, as it’s required at many attractions. 5. Respect local customs: no photography inside temples, and avoid pointing at Buddha statues. 🍵 Food recommendations: ▫ Sweet tea houses: Guangming Gangqiong Sweet Tea House is the most famous, with tea at just ¥1 per cup. ▫ Tibetan noodles: Simple noodles in beef broth—comforting and warming. ▫ Yak jerky: Fresher when bought on the spot, perfect as a snack. ▫ Butter tea: Might take some getting used to, but it helps with altitude sickness. 🚗 Transportation tips: Flying directly to Lhasa is the most convenient. Taxis in the city are cheap, but hiring a private car is better for distant attractions.
