If you could only choose one place to visit in Tibet, where would you go?

"Only one place in Tibet? Lock in Peiku Tso!" While others crowd Yamdrok Lake and Namtso, my hidden gem combo of Peiku Tso + Shishapangma Peak is an absolute winner!👏 An 8000-meter snow-capped mountain reflected in a "blue tear" lake, with a treasure-gourd-shaped surface like a sapphire embedded in the wilderness—every shot is National Geographic-level stunning!📸 Off-the-beaten-path + free + fewer crowds but epic views—this is the real Tibetan masterpiece! Peiku Tso means "Auspicious Sea" in Tibetan and, paired with Shishapangma Peak, forms the "Sacred Mountain & Holy Lake Duo." Circling the lake for blessings is said to be incredibly powerful✨～ 🗺 Foolproof guide to avoid pitfalls: **Ultimate viewpoint**: Navigate to📍"Shishapangma Viewing Platform," then take the wild path toward Lapu Village (fewer cars, epic scenery!). Don’t head straight to the lakeshore❌! The elevated view captures the Tiffany-blue lake and Shishapangma’s snowy peak (8,012m—the only 8000m+ peak entirely within China!). **Wild adventures**: - Catch sunrise/sunset—golden mountains + blue-purple lake = breathtaking🌄 - Spot wild antelopes strolling by the lake or black-necked cranes dancing in the wetlands - Photograph mirror-like reflections when winds are calm—absolutely divine! **Transport tips**: - From Tingri Gangga Town, take G219 to County Road 257 (gravel—drive slow⚠), 2.5h direct - 4WD recommended! Marshy shores = high risk of getting stuck (tire trap warning) 🏨 **Altitude sickness savior!** Lhasa oxygen-rich hotel pick: After a long day, recharge at **Shangli Sunshine·Ruixi Oxygen-Rich Hotel**—freshly renovated this year! - Diffusion oxygen therapy for instant relief! Tibetan-style lobby, ultra-thoughtful in-room oxygen gear—combat altitude stress with ease. Clean, comfy, and great service! Rest well here to prep for the next leg of your journey. - Prime location! Walk to Barkhor Street/Jokhang Temple, 10min drive to Potala Palace. Free Tibetan costume experience + shuttle service = hassle-free! ⚠ **Pro tips**: ✅ **Best May-Sept**: Bluest lake + lush meadows = ultra-soothing ✅ Pack snacks, oxygen cans, and sun protection—fierce UV + windy lakeshore🌞 ✅ Keep ID handy—multiple checkpoints (border permit needed for Gyirong) ❌ Don’t touch the water! Salt lake + fragile ecosystem—admire its sacred beauty from afar.
