The Roof of the World ~ Secret Places of Tibet ~

⛰️Kang Rinpoche: With an altitude of 6,714 meters, Mount Sumeru of Buddhism is the "center of the world" recognized by the four major religions. One round of Mount Kailash can wash away the sins of a lifetime. Those who walk ten times can wash away the sins of a lifetime. Avoid the suffering of hell in reincarnation, and you can achieve enlightenment and become a Buddha after 108 rounds of reincarnation. 🌊Pangong Lake: the forefront of the territorial dispute between China and India. It is a rare lake in the world where freshwater and saltwater coexist. Now more than 2/3 of the area is under the jurisdiction of our country. The rest belongs to Indian-controlled Kashmir. The Chinese part is freshwater, and the Indian side is saltwater. The only lake in Tibet that can be visited by boat (the other is Basongcuo) 🏠Ritu Zong: Known as the Little Potala Palace, it is the residence of a general of King Gesar. Tourists rarely arrive. 🕍The Guge Kingdom, a kingdom that opened 1,000 years ago, was destroyed 300 years ago. 100,000 soldiers and civilians disappeared overnight, leaving behind 720,000 square meters of ruins and a large number of exquisite murals and Buddha statues. The first batch of national key cultural relics that can be touched are a must-visit attraction for tourists to Ali. 🗻Zada Tulin National Geopark: The vast Tulin group is like a work of art carved on the earth. After millions of years of wind and rain erosion, it has formed peak forests and ravines of different shapes. Under the setting sun, the earth forest is dyed golden, making it even more mysterious and magnificent. 🌊Manasarovar: 20 kilometers southeast of Mount Kailash. It is the freshwater lake with the most transparent water in China and one of the three "holy lakes" known as Tibetan Buddhism. 🌊Langtso: It is adjacent to Manasarovar Lake, separated only by a dike. There is a waterway connecting the two lakes. The scenery is pure and pleasant. Although Laangtso is as important as Manasarovar in Tibetan Buddhism, it is known as the "ghost lake" because the lake is not drinkable and there are few plants around it. 🚘Transportation: You can take 🛩️ directly to Ali Kunsha Airport, or drive from Lhasa by taking the Ali South Line/North Line; 🎢Altitude: The average altitude in the Ali area is 4,500. Be prepared to deal with high altitude sickness. Once you arrive, you should speak and do things more slowly; 🌓High fever: Before going, you should take Gaoyuanan or Gaoyuan Weineng oral liquid, and prepare some ibuprofen, Ganmao Ling granules, antipyretics and other drugs; 🚓Self-driving: You must carry a 10-liter oxygen bottle and oxygen tube in the car during the journey; 🏘️Accommodation: When booking a hotel, you need to inquire in advance whether the hotel provides oxygen; 🪪Border Defense Permit: When you arrive, just go to the government affairs center in Shiquanhe or other districts and counties to apply for it.
