Tibet Travel: Natural Spectacles!

I visited Tibet in China. One of the three sacred lakes in Tibet is Yamdrok Lake, located at an altitude of 4,441 meters. The name means 'Turquoise Lake,' and true to its name, the lake's turquoise blue color is stunning, as if it has absorbed the blue of the sky. The photo was taken from Kampa La Pass (4,749 meters) in front of Yamdrok Lake, where you can see the snow-capped Himalayas in the distance. It takes about an hour and a half by car from Lhasa to Yamdrok Lake, making it more accessible than Namtso, and thus a popular tourist destination.

Lhasa | Songtsam is a must-stay in Lhasa

| Songtsam is a must-stay in Lhasa. Lhasa | Songtsam is a must-stay in Lhasa This is my third time in Lhasa. I traveled from Chengdu along the 318 National Highway, and I always choose Songtsam when I see it along the way. Songtsam Lhasa was the last stop of my trip, and the service was as good as ever. One detail really touched me. Last year, there were still many 😷 rules. We arrived at Gonggar Airport and found that our health code had expired a few hours ago, so we couldn't board the plane. I immediately changed my flight, extended my car rental, and called the hotel to say that I was a guest who had just checked out of a certain room and wanted to extend my stay. However, I had decided to go to Yamdrok Lake in Shannan and would not return until the evening. Even though I hadn't paid a deposit or made an online booking, my room was reserved for me. When I walked into the lobby, the manager immediately came over and handed me the key. The lights, humidifier, oxygen machine, and goodnight dessert were all ready in my room. Songtsam's trust in its guests makes us trust Songtsam. I'm going to Tibet again soon, and I'll stay at Songtsam again!
