"Zhijindong Hotel Reservation" all roads lead to Lhasa, which one do you take?

A while ago, Raiders Jun mentioned that Lhasa today is like ancient Rome, with all roads leading in all directions. So how many roads are there from Lhasa? Today I'm going to introduce you to six classic routes. With Lhasa as the center, these lines spread like sunlight, constantly radiating heat and attracting tourists from all over the world.

Article 1: Lhasa-Xigaze-Lazi-Zhangmu Line

This is a traditional golden line connecting Shigatse, the second largest city in Tibet, where even the name is full of sunshine. The highlights are as follows:

Tashilhunpo Temple, located at the foot of Mount Nisairi, is the largest temple in Shigatse, which was built in the 12th year of Ming Dynasty. There are resplendent Jinding and Panchen Palace, and there are many cultural relics in the temple. Take Jinling Tower as an example, the tower is rich in collections. Divided into three layers: upper, middle and lower. There are barley, wheat, rice, tea, salt, alkali, all kinds of dried fruits and sugar, sandalwood, all kinds of medicinal materials, all kinds of silks and satins, golden saddle, rhinoceros horn, silver treasure, jewelry, master cassock and Tibetan clothes. There are intermediate Tripitaka, Gelugpa Classics, Panchen Classics, Panchen Works, Baye Classics and Buddhist Scriptures written in Golden Juice. The upper layer of the tower is Buddhist scriptures and Buddha statues.

Solemn Sakya Temple: Built in Xining, Northern Song Dynasty, it is a Sakya Temple. Because the temple wall is painted red, white and cyan, it symbolizes Manjusri Bodhisattva, Guanyin Bodhisattva and Vajrayana Bodhisattva, commonly known as "Flower Education". There are many beautiful murals in the temple, more than 3000 in number. The theme covers religion, history, culture and social life. It mainly includes Buddhist scriptures, doctrines, myths and legends, historical stories, Kunshi history, Sakya history, landscapes, flowers and animals, decorative patterns and so on. The scene is grand and rich in content.

Millennium Sakya Temple

This route is the longest, but it is fascinating (mainly because of the desolate atmosphere of the plateau). It passes through the Ali Plateau, known as the "roof of the world". The highlights are as follows:

Vast and clear Zhalinan Mucuo: As the third largest lake in Tibet, the lake is 46 13 meters above sea level, nearly 54 kilometers long from east to west and 20 kilometers wide from north to south. Because it is located on the north side of the Himalayas, influenced by downward flow, and the cold weather cycle is long, 10 is not suitable for traveling here from May to the following year.

Dawachuo rich in aquatic plants: also known as "Dawachuo", which means "Moon Lake". Cuoqin County is located in the northwest of the county, with an altitude of 4,636 meters and an area of11square kilometer. It is a saltwater lake, which produces plateau naked carp. Lakeside road, convenient transportation, surrounded by natural pastures.

Mysterious Guge Site: A small country established around 10 century, which inherited more than 20 generations of kings, has a history of 1300 years, and disappeared in 17 century, leaving countless precious cultural relics and historical materials for future generations. The whole castle is built on a 300-meter-high loess slope with steep terrain. Caves, towers, pagodas, temples and palaces are arranged in an orderly way, surrounded by mountains from bottom to top, reaching the sky with great momentum. These caves are mostly living rooms, which are densely distributed all over the hillside.

The desolate Zada Tulin is the most famous landscape area in Zada County. Turing has a total area of about 2464 square kilometers. It is the most typical soil forest formed by weathering of tertiary strata with the largest distribution area in the world. The "trees" in the forest are scattered in places as high as tens of meters, with different shapes and interesting. When the car is driving, it is like spinning on the soles of many giants.

It was called Zadatulin in ancient times.

Rinpoche Hill: According to legend, Yongzhong Benjue originated from this mountain; Hinduism regards mountains as Shiva's residence and the center of the world; Jainism believes that this mountain is the place where its founder, Rishabanasa, was enlightened. Tibetan Buddhism believes that this mountain is the residence of Le Sheng King Kong and represents infinite happiness, so many believers wander here all the year round.

Shengma-Pang Yong CuO: It is the second largest natural freshwater lake in China and the most transparent freshwater lake. Every summer and autumn, Buddhists will help the old and bring the young to make a pilgrimage here and bathe themselves with holy water to prolong their life.

Yang Zhuo Yongcuo in Biyingtian: As can be seen from the figure, Yongcuo in Yang Zhuo is different from other plateau lakes. It has many inlets, like coral, so it is also called "coral lake above" in Tibetan. Everyone has heard of the phrase "Climbing the Mountain and Crossing the Water Pagoda". However, Yang Zhuo Yongcuo is indeed the most unclean lake that has been "overturned". Why? Look at her figure. There are too many ditches and branches, so it is difficult to complete the great cause of turning over the lake.

Shan Zong Fort and Guanzhan Military Camp Ruins: Shan Zong is not high, only 100 meters. However, the terrain around Gyangze is flat, so Shan Zong stands out and has important military significance. The buildings in Shan Zong were built at the beginning of the 0/4th century A.D./KLOC, mainly including Zongben (county magistrate) mansion, lecture hall, Buddhist temple and various warehouses, all of which were built from mountainside to mountaintop. The building is magnificent, commanding and imposing. Later, in order to resist the invaders, the soldiers and civilians guarding the mountain built a circle of walls 5-8 meters high and 4 meters wide on the hillside with big stones, and built many fortresses along the walls and front cliffs, which dealt a heavy blow to the British army. But in the continuous war, it was almost destroyed by invaders.
