[🇨🇳Tibet] Soul-cleansing blue—A journey to the mysterious lakes of Tibet

The charm of Tibetan lakes Tibet is a mysterious land with clear skies and spectacular views of the plateau. Among them, the most captivating are the beautiful lakes scattered at altitudes of over 4,000 meters. This time, we will introduce the charms of three particularly popular lakes: Namtso Lake, Yamdrok Lake, and Manasarovar Lake. Namtso Lake: A lake connected to the sky Namtso Lake, known as the "Lake of Heaven," is located about a four-hour drive from Lhasa and is 4,718 meters above sea level. The lake's surface, which reflects the sky like a mirror, is so beautiful that it seems like it is not of this world. At sunrise and sunset, the colors change from moment to moment, captivating all who see it. It is also known as a pilgrimage site for Tibetan Buddhism, and the sight of people praying on the lakeside is also impressive. Yamdrok Lake: Jade-like radiance Another representative lake is Yamdrok Lake. It is located on the way southwest from Lhasa, at an altitude of 4,441 meters. It is characterized by its emerald green lake surface, and the contrast with the blue sky is truly beautiful. The view from the pass overlooking the lake is spectacular, and it is a spot that photography lovers will not be able to resist. Lake Manasarovar: A lake of holy water Lake Manasarovar, located near the Indian border, is a sacred lake that is considered a holy place not only for Tibetan Buddhism, but also for Hinduism and Jainism. Located at an altitude of 4,590 meters, the quiet lake surface with the Himalayan Mountains in the background is a place where heaven and earth meet. The sight of pilgrims circling the lake can be said to be a symbol of spiritual travel. Travel tips All the lakes are at high altitudes, so it is essential to take measures against altitude sickness. It is recommended to make a reasonable schedule while getting your body acclimatized in advance in Lhasa or elsewhere and taking in plenty of water. Also, since the weather is prone to change, don't forget to bring cold weather gear and rain gear. Searching for memorable scenery Tibet's lakes are not just beautiful, but are also deeply connected to the faith and lives of the people of the region. By visiting them, you can experience part of the magnificent story woven by nature and culture. #TibetTrip #LakeNamtso #LakeYamdrok #LakeManasarovar #BreathtakingViews #HighlandScenery #Soul-CleansingTrip #UnexploredRegionsofChina #Let'sGoToChina
