Tibet has always been a mysterious and fascinating place in my mind since childhood. As I grow older, I begin to understand Tibet a little bit more. So, it became a dream for me to go to Tibet. Due to the special geographical location of Tibet, a high altitude barrier prevents many people from going there. I think if I don’t take the challenge before I get old, Tibet will really become an unattainable dream.
It's best not to meet each other, otherwise you can't fall in love.
It's best not to know each other, otherwise you won't be able to miss each other.

Today’s itinerary preview: Lhasa – Sijin Lacuo – Nyingchi – Brahmaputra Grand Canyon – Namjagbarwa Peak – Suosong Village
The morning in Lhasa is cool and comfortable. After the driver picked up all the companions in the car, our seven-day panoramic tour officially set off. At the beginning of the journey, the sky was blue with white clouds, but when we arrived at Sijinlacuo, the sky became gloomy and the clouds thickened.
Sijin Lacuo means lake in Tibetan. Where is the lake? Looking around, you must be at the highest point where the prayer flags are flying, right? Continuing to climb up the winding path, I felt out of breath for the first time and my head felt swollen. Only then did I realize that this was Tibet and I had to walk slowly and slowly.
Finally got a glimpse of Sijin Lacuo’s face. If the weather is good, the scenery of mountains and lakes should be even more beautiful. Sijin Lacuo, the terrain is like a treasure trove, surrounded by peaks. The locals call it Caishen Lake. It is said that every year on June 15th, the Panchen Lama, the Dalai Lama and the Drigung all come to the Sijinglacuo Sacred Lake to worship and put many gold and silver treasures into the lake to repay the blessings of the Sacred Lake. .
In Tibet, people like to hang prayer flags on mountains, on rocks by lakes, on bridges at wind outlets, or on the roofs of their homes. The colors of prayer flags are blue, white, yellow, green and red. Some prayer flags have six-character proverbs written on them. Tibetans believe that when the wind blows the prayer flags, it is like chanting scriptures, and their blessings will be sent to the sky by the wind.
Respect faith, revere life, and maintain love are the true experiences you get after visiting Tibet.
Coming down from Caishen Lake, we passed by a lush green grassland. Take a closer look at these unknown flowers and plants, growing on the plateau, but also working hard to bloom at this moment.
Wow, a little girl is driving a herd of yaks over. I have seen cattle, horses, sheep, and yaks herding for the first time, and it was so close.
Regardless of what I was afraid of, I ran towards the yak. For me, a trespasser in the territory, the yak seemed to disdain to raise its head, continued to eat its grass, and wandered away from me.
On the way back down the mountain, small piles of stones can be seen everywhere on the roadside. These are called nima piles locally and are used to pray for God's blessing.
When we left Caishen Lake, the sky turned blue. It seems that I don’t have enough connection with Caishen Lake, let alone hope for good fortune.
As the car sped towards Linzhi, I saw a river following me, winding and flowing endlessly. I couldn't help but ask the driver, and I learned that this is the Niyang River. Do your homework before coming and hear its name.
According to information, the Niyang River is said to be the "tears of the goddess". In Tibetan, the river is called "Qu", so Tibetans call the Niyang River "Niangqu". When it flows through Gongbu Jiangda County in Linzhi, it is revered as the "Mother River".
The basin that the Niyang River flows through has lush vegetation, beautiful scenery and charming scenery.
The scenery along the way made me confused for a while. Is this really Tibet? It seems that my understanding of Tibet is too simplistic. The scenery of Linzhi in front of you deserves to be known as the "Jiangnan of Tibet".
(↑The picture above is from the Internet) Linzhi’s Spring is an internet celebrity. If I have time and opportunity, I would come to Linzhi in spring to experience the peach blossoms of three lives and three lives. May your wishes come true.
Passing through the landscape, the confluence of rivers refers to the intersection of the Brahmaputra River and the Niyang River.
Standing on the viewing platform and looking from a distance, the Niyang River is clear and the Brahmaputra River is turbid. One is clear and the other is turbid, with clear distinctions, which is spectacular.
At this time, a cloud floated overhead, bringing with it a burst of rain, causing ripples to appear on the calm river surface. The tourists all went to take shelter from the rain, so I could take a photo of myself.
Passing by a beach in the water, named Buddha Palm Sand Dune, it is formed by the action of strong winds over the years. Because it is located in Tanniang Township, it is also called Tanniang Sand Dune. Stop the car quickly, take a photo, and then move on.
Along the Brahmaputra River, circling and reversing all the way, we finally entered the Brahmaputra Grand Canyon. In Tibetan, "Yalu" means coming from the sky, and "Zangbu" means river. When it comes to the Brahmaputra River, no one knows it. The Brahmaputra River originates from the Jiemayangzong Glacier at the northern foot of the Himalayas in Tibet. It is the longest plateau river in China and one of the highest rivers in the world. It is rich in water energy reserves, second only to the Yangtze River in China.
According to data, the Brahmaputra River traverses southern Tibet from west to east. It turns southward at the Namjagbarwa Peak at the easternmost tip of the Himalayas, forming the world's largest canyon - the Brahmaputra Grand Canyon. The canyon is deep and the rapids are roaring. No one has been able to pass it yet. Its difficulty and danger can be called "the last secret realm of mankind".
Above is the panoramic view I took of the corner of the Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon. I wonder if I have reached the real Brahmaputra turning point. The Yarlung Zangbo Big Turn (named Guoguotang Big Turn) that I saw when I checked the information before going there looks like this (the picture below is from the Internet).
Although the contrasting scenes are very different, the magic and magnificence of this section of the Brahmaputra Grand Canyon are enough to shock my heart.
The impression also said that you can also enjoy Namjagbarwa Peak in the canyon. Therefore, when I saw the peak of the mountain peak emerging, I patted it and thought it was Namjagbarwa Peak. After asking the driver, we found out that we were all wrong.
This is the real Namjagbarwa Peak. At this time, it is obscured by clouds and fog, and its full picture cannot be seen. Because it is always covered by clouds and fog and never reveals its true face easily, it is said that nine out of ten people never see it, so it is also known as the "Shameful Girl Peak".
There will always be unsatisfactory situations during the journey, and there will also be unexpected surprises. For example, when you look up, you can see the bright moon in your heart, and the sun and moon shine together.
When it got dark, we arrived at Suosong Village and then checked into Namjagbarwa Villa. The room we stayed in was on the fourth floor. When we opened the door, we were facing Namjagbarwa Peak. We had a wide view and an unobstructed view. It was a pity that we could not see its true appearance.
A small Suosong Village is famous because it is located deep in the Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon Scenic Area. It is also the best place to view the panoramic view of Namjagbarwa Peak. It attracts tourists in droves and is favored by photographers.
After dinner, my two companions and I walked along the path to the outside of the village. The clouds in the sky were still thick, and I gave up hope of seeing the face of Namjagbarwa Peak. The highland barley fields under the moonlight caused us to stop and stop.
On the way back, I passed an internet celebrity store with a chinchilla graffiti on the outer wall. Ahhhh, I want to stand under the umbrella and take a photo with him. See, no matter how old a person is, they must still have a girlish heart.
At night in the villa, the staff leads tourists to dance. I also joined in, not knowing the beat, just dancing to a random song, happiness was so simple.
During the entire trip today, my eldest sister's mental condition was not good and she missed a lot of beautiful scenery. She thought it was because she didn't get enough rest. In fact, it is a symptom of high reflex. I look forward to being full of energy and good luck tomorrow.
