[Take measures after measures] Which of the three holy lakes in Tibet is the most beautiful?

The three holy lakes in Tibet are Namtso, Yamdrok and Manasarovar.

 

 

Namtso is located between Damxung County and Nagqu Bangor County in Lhasa, Yamdrok Yumco is located in Langkazi County, Shannan City, and Manasarovar Yumco is located in Alipuran County.

 

 

The three holy lakes in Tibet each have their own unique scenery, but the only thing they have in common is that they all have profound religious significance.

 

 

Tianhu Namtso

Namtso has a great reputation. As the largest large lake with the highest altitude in Tibet, it attracts countless tourists every year.

Namtso means "Sky Lake" in Tibetan, and it can be called "Tenggri Sea" in Mongolian. The lake is 4,718 meters above sea level. If you want to experience the feeling of hypoxia in a fairyland, then come to Namtso. It is the lake closest to heaven.

Lakes in Tibet are always inseparable from religion and mythology.

‍‍

There are five islands in Namtso standing in the vast expanse of blue waves. Buddhist believers say that they are the incarnations of the five Buddhas. Anyone who goes to the sacred lake to pay homage to the Buddha must pay homage sincerely.

The largest of them is Liangdao Island, and there are also 5 peninsulas protruding into the water from different directions. Among them, the Tashi Peninsula (south coast of Namtso) ranks first among the 5 peninsulas.

The altitude of Namtso is so high that it begins to freeze in November and does not begin to melt until May of next year. If you want to visit Namtso, come here in summer and autumn!

Namtso tour route

D1 Lhasa—Nyenchen Tanglha Mountain Main Peak Observation Deck—Nagenla Pass—Holy Elephant Gate on the North Bank of Namtso

The journey from Lhasa to Namtso Scenic Area takes the "Qinghai-Tibet Highway". The Qinghai-Tibet Highway is the highest highway in the world, and it is also the safest and busiest highway into Tibet. The scenery along the way is breathtaking, and you can even see trains coming from the railway tracks in the distance. Drive by quickly.

After driving into the Namtso Scenic Area, the first step is to cross the Nagenla Pass, which is more than 5,000 meters above sea level and is the place where tourists are most likely to suffer from altitude sickness.

But the end point is not here, keep going forward, towards the Holy Elephant Gate. The Holy Elephant Tianmen is a secret place. It is the best place to view Namtso. Looking down at Namtso, it is like a huge mirror inlaid on the grassland of northern Tibet.

D2: Holy Elephant Tianmen—Yangpajing—Lhasa

After watching the sunrise, I started to pack up my mood and return to Lhasa from the Holy Elephant Gate. The car slowly moved away from the Holy Elephant Tianmen and embarked on the journey home. Along the way, the scenery of the northern Tibetan grasslands came into view.

The scenery along the way is endless. Yaks and sheep are leisurely walking and foraging on the shallow grass, ancient yak tents stand quietly, and colorful wind and horse flags are flying. These are the scenery of the snow-covered plateau.

Holy Lake Manasarovar

Among the major lakes in Tibet, Manasarovar has an unparalleled lofty status like Kailash among all the sacred mountains.

Although Manasarovar Lake is not the "best" among the many lakes on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau in terms of lake area, depth, or altitude, it is only because of its religious significance that other lakes should be avoided.

Manasarovar means "eternal undefeated jasper lake" in Tibetan. There is a saying that the surface of the lake at Manasarovar Lake is shaped like a mandala (mandala). The lake basin is surrounded by lowlands, shaped like a dome. The surrounding mountains are in the shape of blooming lotus petals. The auspicious stars in the sky are shining high, and the lake is filled with water. The eight qualities of water that are clear, clear, pure, refreshing, soft, sweet, light, and beautiful are superior to those of many lakes.

Manasarovar Lake

Tibetan people not only have the tradition of walking around mountains, they also have the tradition of walking around lakes. The road around Manasarovar Lake is much easier to walk than the road around Kailash. Mountain walking and lake walking both test everyone’s patience. .

The road to the Manasarovar Lake is relatively long, about 90 kilometers in total. It usually takes four days for people to go to the lake.

The regulations for turning around the lake are not very strict. There is no saying where you must start turning around the lake. You only need to complete a closed circle.

Because of the convenient transportation in Tibet today, the entire Ali Ngari South Line is connected by road. Most people start from Jiwu Temple in the northwest corner of the Holy Lake.

During the process of transferring to the lake, tourists can enjoy the magnificent scenery along the way, but they should pay attention to matters when transferring to the lake. It is said that when Tibetan Buddhist believers go around the lake, they need to choose a bathing gate to bathe in the water at the end, which means that troubles and dust will go away together.

Holy Lake Yamdrok Lake

Yamdrok YumcoIt is not as vast and magnificent as Namtso, nor as sacred as Manasarovar. Yamdrok Yumco is gentle, and the water in Yamdrok Yumco is calm at all times. Just like a mirror, beautiful and peaceful.

Yamdrok Yumcuo means "jasper lake in the upper pasture" in Tibetan. It is a rich pasture where herders come to graze their sheep every summer.

Yangzhuo Yumcuo is like a paper fan spread out, extending from the northwest to the southeast. Many types of fish resources grow in the Yangtze Lake.

There are many kinds of waterbirds living on the island, and a large number of migratory birds migrate here every winter. This is the largest waterbird habitat in Tibet.

Yanghu Lake generally does not freeze in winter. Unlike Namtso, the water of Yanghu Lake in winter becomes bluer and has a unique flavor.

The water of Yamdrok Lake washes away the dust, and the water of Yamdrok Lake will show different levels of color with the changes of light and shadow. This is the shock that Yamdrok Lake bestows on all living beings.

Here, we can wash away the troubles of the world and find the strength to move forward.

In Shuying's heart, the beauty they displayed was different, some were cold, some were gentle, and some were sacred and inviolable.
