Tibet-a place I want to go to again (2)

Slowly record my 22 days in Tibet

February 12, 2021 is the Lunar New Year and the Tibetan New Year. On this day, I started my five-day trip to Nyingchi. I signed up for a group tour worth 3,000 yuan at Fliggy, a group of five people, a couple, and three individual travelers. Since I was the only male, I paid 500 yuan for a single room.

Starting from Lhasa along the Lalin Highway, we passed by Mila Mountain. Originally, there was an opening next to the road and we could drive to the 318 National Highway. However, it just snowed and the road was closed, so we could not reach the altitude of 5013 meters. You can only drive through the Mira Mountain Pass along the Mira Mountain Tunnel and take photos of Mira Mountain in the service area.

The scenery along the Lalin Highway is also beautiful. Because the speed limit is 80, it was already 2:30 in the afternoon when we arrived at the first scenic spot, Basongcuo. During this period, I took a few photos of the snow-capped mountains along the way

Basongcuo is a 5A-level scenic spot. February is the off-season and the ticket price is just over 100. It takes a few minutes to take a bus from the entrance of the scenic spot to Basongcuo. There are There are yachting and hot-air balloon rides, but hot-air balloons are not open in February. Even the staff at the scenic spot said that taking a hot-air balloon is better than taking a boat. The cruise ship takes tourists to a pier where they can take photos freely. There is a bubble house where you can watch the stars, but no one is staying.

After coming out of Basongcuo, walk along National Highway 318 towards Lulang Town. The next attraction is Namjagbarwa Peak at Sejila Pass. Continue driving along Lalin Highway, passing Dobu Reservoir.

At the end of the third day, we checked into the small town of Lulang. I had booked a hotel in advance through a five-day tour agency, so I forgot the name of the hotel. The ceiling of the guest room was very high.
