2025 Dinggye Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in July)

Tibet is a dream destination for many travelers. One of the most fascinating things about Tibet is its beautiful snow-capped mountains and lakes. However, many of these mountains and lakes in Tibet require a telephoto lens to capture their stunning beauty, and many require hiking to reach. This can be a real pain for us lazy people. 😖 But‼️ After exploring Tibet, I recommend a place where you can drive 🚗 directly to the foot of the snow-capped mountains‼️ You can also take stunning photos with your phone. Beautiful secret place⬇️ Sisters coming to Tibet, look here👀 ✅Attraction introduction Wild attractions, the lake is called Dingjie Zongcuo Lake, and the snow-capped mountain 🏔️ is called Amazhimi. They are very close to each other. You can watch the sunrise and the golden mountain. The surroundings are surrounded by snow-capped mountains. ✅How to get there 📍Dingjie Zongcuo Lake, Dingjie County Navigate to "Dingjie Zongcuo Lake". After reaching the end of the navigation, you have not reached the lake, and the phone starts to lose signal. Drive along the tire marks for about 20 minutes to reach the lake. "There is a small section of unpaved road surface" You can see the stunning snow-capped mountains 🏔️ all the way, and the photos taken on the mountain top 📷 are also stunning. Ordinary SUVs can pass. ✅Tickets🎫: Free Travel tips ‼️ 1️⃣Tibet is a high-altitude area with strong ultraviolet rays and dry weather. Be sure to drink plenty of water. 2️⃣Sunglasses🕶️ and sunscreen are a must. 3️⃣The temperature difference between day and night in the plateau area is large, so be sure to bring a down jacket. 4️⃣Skin moisturizing is a must, otherwise you will find that you can't even put on makeup after a few days.

On the southern foothills of the Himalayas lies a forgotten paradise called Chentang Valley. This place boasts not only stunning natural scenery but also the mysterious Sherpa culture, like a hidden gem in Tibet. Follow this guide to embark on your adventure. 1. Preparations 1. Documents: Bring your ID card. Since Chentang Valley is near the border, apply for a border pass in advance at your hometown or Lhasa. Ensure all procedures and information are correct. 2. Clothing: Chentang Valley has significant elevation changes and variable weather, combining plateau and subtropical climates. Pack warm down jackets and windbreakers for high altitudes and temperature drops, as well as lightweight short sleeves and shorts for lower elevations. Comfortable hiking or sports shoes are essential for trekking. 3. Essentials: High-SPF sunscreen, a sun hat, and sunglasses to protect against strong UV rays; moisturizers for dry conditions; common medicines like cold, stomach, and motion sickness remedies; rain gear; and a large backpack for your belongings. 4. Transportation: From Lhasa, take a bus or hire a car to Shigatse, then transfer to Dinggye County before heading to Chentang Valley. The roads are challenging—narrow and bumpy in parts. Drive carefully if self-driving, or hire an experienced local driver for safety and scenic stops. 2. Must-Visit Spots 1. Chentang Town: Immerse yourself in Sherpa culture with its wooden and stone buildings. Shops along the streets sell Nepalese goods and local handicrafts like bamboo weavings and traditional clothing. Stroll around and chat with friendly Sherpa locals. 2. Primeval Forest: Step into a green fairy tale with towering trees and cascading waterfalls. This forest is home to rare wildlife like antelopes and langurs, as well as medicinal herbs like gastrodia and fritillaria. 3. Nine-Eye Hot Springs: Located in Xemaxung Village, a 3 km hike leads to these springs, which flow from a hillside into nine small pools. Soak in the warm waters while enjoying the valley views—pure relaxation. 4. Tsong Tso Lake & Ama Drime Snow Mountain: On the way to Tsong Tso Lake, admire the majestic Ama Drime Snow Mountain glowing in the sunlight. Mornings offer the best light for photos of the snow-capped peaks and grasslands. 3. Food Recommendations 1. Finger Millet Wine: A Sherpa specialty brewed from local finger millet. Served in wooden jars with warm water and sipped through bamboo straws, it has a unique, slightly sweet taste with a grain aroma. 2. Chentang Free-Range Chicken: Tender and flavorful, try it in a clear soup or spicy stir-fry. 3. Nepalese Cuisine: Close to Nepal, Chentang offers dishes like curry rice and flatbreads—rich flavors and crispy textures for a delightful meal. 4. Accommodation Guide 1. Chentang Holiday Hotel: Opened in 2023, this is one of the better hotels in the area with clean, modern rooms and good service. 2.

| Ultimate Romance at 5,000 Meters Above Sea Level. Tibet's Ama Drime | Unlock the Golden Sunrise and Starry Night Feast Hey, travel buddies! If you're yearning for a once-in-a-lifetime journey, then Ama Drime by Dinggyê Tso Lake in Tibet must be on your bucket list! Here, you can witness both the awe-inspiring golden sunrise over the mountains and the romantic vastness of the starry night sky, where luck and beauty intertwine in this magical moment! 1. Breathtaking Experiences At dawn, as the first rays of sunlight gently kiss Ama Drime, the entire snow-capped mountain is instantly bathed in gold, radiating a sacred and enchanting glow. The soul-stirring beauty feels like stepping into a fairyland, where all fatigue and worries vanish instantly. When night falls, far from city light pollution, Ama Drime's starry sky is beyond imagination. The Milky Way stretches across the heavens, and the stars seem within reach, as if the entire universe is whispering its mysteries and romance to you. Here, you're not just a traveler—you're a witness to luck and beauty! 2. Photography Guide To capture these stunning moments, gear is key! This time, I used the a7m3 camera paired with the Laowa 12mm f2.8 lens, which perfectly captures the grandeur of the snow-capped mountains and the vastness of the starry sky. For aerial shots, the DJI Air 3 and Mini 3 Pro drones worked wonders, showcasing the breathtaking panoramic views of Ama Drime and Dinggyê Tso Lake from above—movie-like shots in minutes! - Sunrise Photography: Arrive at the shooting spot half an hour early, set up your camera on a tripod for stability, and use a small aperture (f8 - f11) to enhance the sun's starburst effect. - Starry Sky Photography: Find a foreground like a mountain or rocks to add depth. Set your camera to manual mode, open the aperture to its maximum (f2.8), use a shutter speed of 20 - 30 seconds, and adjust ISO as needed (usually around 1600 - 3200). 3. Ultimate Travel Guide (1) Itinerary - Self-Driving Route: Open Ovi Maps and navigate directly to Dinggyê Tso Lake—just follow the directions. Note that some roads to Ama Drime are challenging, so a sturdy off-road vehicle and a pre-trip checkup are recommended. - Nearby Attractions: After arriving at Dinggyê Tso Lake, take a lakeside stroll to enjoy the stunning views of the lake and mountains. There are also hidden viewpoints for unique perspectives. If time allows, explore nearby villages to experience local culture. (2) Packing List - Clothing: At 5,000 meters, temperatures are low even in summer. Pack a thick down jacket, thermal windbreaker, sweaters, thermal pants, scarves, gloves, and hats to stay warm. - Essentials: High-SPF sunscreen, sunglasses, and a sunhat (UV protection is a must at high altitudes); a thermos (hot water is essential); toiletries, wet wipes, and tissues. - Extras: Oxygen canisters (for altitude sickness prevention), basic meds (cold, stomach, motion sickness); power bank, spare camera batteries, and memory cards (you'll need plenty of storage for all the beauty!). (3) Tips - Altitude Sickness: Take altitude sickness meds a week before your trip. Avoid strenuous activity upon arrival, and rest well. If symptoms arise, stay calm, use oxygen, and adjust your plans. - Eco-Consciousness: Ama Drime and Dinggyê Tso Lake have fragile ecosystems. Please respect the environment—no littering, and practice "leave no trace" travel. - Safety First: Avoid hazardous areas like steep slopes or frozen lakes. If traveling alone, inform someone of your plans and stay reachable. Buddies, Ama Drime's golden sunrise and dazzling stars are calling! Pack your bags and embark on this rendezvous with luck and beauty—create memories that are uniquely yours here! Trust me, everything about this place will stay with you forever! ✨ #LandscapePhotography #TravelPhotography #PlacesToSeeBeforeYouDie #SnowMountainAndSacredLakeHearYourWishes #WalkingTowardTheMountains #MeetAtTheSnowMountainAndSacredLake #Glacier #RomanceOfTheSnowMountain #AmaDrime #DinggyêTsoLake #Tibet #FeelTheSacredMountainsAndLakes #SnowMountain

Qilin Gorge is located in Dingjie County, Shigatse Region, Tibet, about 200 kilometers from Shigatse and over 260 kilometers from the Everest Base Camp. The gorge spans approximately 15 kilometers in length, with a width ranging from 100 to 200 meters, and a depth reaching 200 meters. Dense earth forests are distributed along both sides of the gorge, while a clear stream flows at the bottom. As the name suggests, the most spectacular sight in Qilin Gorge is the densely packed, peculiar earth forests on both sides of the gorge. They come in various shapes, rising from the ground like bamboo shoots after a spring rain, standing thousands of feet tall, resembling an enlarged version of the 'Terracotta Army'. They are a rare sight in the world, awe-inspiring, and captivating at a glance, leaving a lasting impression. Qilin Gorge is a natural wonder. Standing on the bank of the gorge, breathing the thin air, with the breeze brushing your cheeks, and looking into the depths of the gorge, you feel not only the awe the landscape brings but also the insignificance of oneself. You can directly experience the power of time and the flow of water. After millions of years of wind and rain erosion and the scouring of melting snow, this group of peculiar, mound-like earth forest landscapes was formed. Departing from Shigatse and taking the G318 to Gangba County, then turning onto the 219 line and driving 200 kilometers, about 3.5 hours, you will find a Tibetan village named Mumu. This is the entrance to the Qilin Gorge scenic area. However, to see the earth forests within the scenic area, you need to drive another 10 kilometers along the scenic road. When you see the flat ground suddenly dip, you have arrived at Qilin Gorge. Although Qilin Gorge in Shigatse, Tibet, is beautiful, it is not recommended for elderly people with poor health to visit, nor is it advisable for young and middle-aged tourists to go alone. If you are driving to Qilin Gorge, you need to apply for a border pass for the Shigatse region in advance. Moreover, due to environmental protection, private vehicles are not allowed into the scenic area, and you need to take a shuttle bus to enter.

Qilin Gorge is located on the border of Tibet, Nepal and India in my country. It is a unique karst landform in Tibet, in the Himalayas, formed by glacial erosion and cutting over tens of millions of years. The Qilin Gorge is about 15 kilometers long, 200 to 300 meters wide, and 200 meters deep. It has more than 10 canyons of varying sizes. There are dense earth forests on both sides of the canyon, and clear glacial water flows at the bottom of the canyon. Starting from Dinggye County, Shigatse, heading towards Qilin Gorge, the scenery along the way is even more touching. After crossing the winding mountain road, the canyon appears in front of you.
