What should I do when going to Tibet in winter?

I am used to the hustle and bustle of the city and suddenly want to be quiet. I want to hear the sound of snow falling, the sound of wind blowing, I want to see the warm sunrise, I want to see the wind blowing. He Yunyong, let’s go to Tibet. We must go in winter. Tibet is above, urging me to travel far.

Spring in Tibet is the time when peach blossoms begin to bloom in mountain temples, and everyone wants to join in the fun of the Peach Blossom Festival; summer in Tibet is the time for holidays, for those on annual leave, summer vacation, and graduation Everyone wants to realize their dreams, so even the road to the holy city is lively; autumn in Tibet is the season of photography, with soft light, colorful jungles, fluttering prayer flags, photographers lie down and get up Each shows his/her magical powers; Tibet in winter is a lonely season. The bare branches, the flying snow in the sky, and the occasional barking of dogs all seem to indicate the desertedness here. Which season will you choose to go? If I were to go there, I would definitely choose winter, because I want to take a meditation trip and give myself a long vacation for about half a month.

The first route chosen will definitely be the southern Sichuan-Tibet route, because the environment in winter will be harsh and the probability of high altitude reflection will be greater. The overall environment or public facilities of the northern route are far inferior to those of the southern route. So in terms of progressive altitude, 318 is more reliable. But the route you take is not just a regular one, but also adds some features. When you walk to Litang and go south, you must go to Daocheng to have a look, and then go west to a rural town that is not very famous. Continue westward from Deqin. Return to 318 to the north and quietly feel the charm of the most beautiful landscape avenue. After arriving in Lhasa, if time permits, you will consider visiting Yamdrok Lake, one of the holy lakes. In fact, what I want to see more is Namtso Lake. But because of the distance.

Allow yourself one day in Chengdu to experience this bustling city. You don’t have to go too far, just wander around within the second ring road. First of all, you must go to Kuanzhai Alley, which is one of the three major tourist attractions in Chengdu. One of the historical and cultural reserves, it consists of three parallel old-fashioned urban streets, Kuan Alley, Narrow Alley and Jing Alley, and the courtyard complex between them. There are 45 courtyards in the style of the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, and gardens with both artistic and cultural heritage. Western-style buildings, newly built residential-style boutique hotels and other unique buildings add a bit of novelty to old Chengdu. Also go to the Sichuan Museum to learn more about its history.

Go to People’s Park for a casual walk in the afternoon when the sun is at its hottest, and see if you can meet an old man who insists on playing chess and watching the fun despite the severe cold. You must walk as much as possible to feel the "Jinguan City" in Du Fu's mouth. If you are a foodie, don’t miss the delicacies here: Shuangliu Lao Ma rabbit head, sad jelly, saliva chicken, nine-foot salted duck, Maocai, etc. will definitely make you dizzy. If you want to eat authentic hot pot, it is recommended to choose Huangcheng Lao Ma, Sichuan Bazi, Dalongyi, Shu Jiuxiang. After eating and drinking, have a good sleep and then start your holiday journey.

Because when you are in Litang, you will choose to go south to Daocheng. The distance from Chengdu to Litang is more than 620 kilometers, and 2 days is definitely enough. To be honest, there are no highlights on this stretch of road in winter, but It is still necessary to appreciate Hailuogou near Luding. First of all, you will pass by Moxi Ancient Town, where the bells of the Catholic church have been ringing for more than a century. The town is relatively simple, and the glaciers in the forest park in winter will definitely More spectacular than other seasons.

Going to Daocheng is believed to be the passion of many movie fans and book fans. Passing through Shangri-La Township, you will arrive at the peaceful Aden. The Aden Scenic Area is one of the filming locations for the movie "Passing Through Your World". If you've experienced the crowds here and haven't fully experienced the purity here, you can definitely choose to come back in winter. It's just that you feel more hard when climbing the mountain, but after seeing the Sea of ??Milk, Sea of ??Five Colors, and Sea of ??Pearls, all the hard work will be forgotten. The water is clearer and the mountains are more beautiful.

Few people know that there is a place called Xiangcheng in the west of Daocheng. It is called Kashen in Tibetan, which means Buddhist beads. Because people here think white is an auspicious color, and they will paint the walls with After pouring white paint, you can see the river flowing from the side of Bai Zangfang, like Buddhist beads connected by a silk thread, hence the name. The movie starring Deng Chao was also shot here.

The names of buildings in Tibet are all mythological. For example, Feilai Temple. Legend has it that when the temple was built, the site was originally planned to be two kilometers away from the current site. All the materials were already prepared. On the night before the groundbreaking, major building materials such as pillars and beams were missing, and the abbot monk sent people to track them down.

When they found the current site, they found that the pillars and beams had been erected according to specifications, and there were no back beams or pillars like the main hall. People thought this was God's will, so they built the temple at the current site in accordance with God's will, and because the pillars and beams flew to stand on their own, they were named Feilai Temple. ?.

You can always find a good angle to view the Meili Snow Mountain here. With the pagoda as the foreground, wouldn’t it be beautiful to take photos of the golden mountains illuminated by the sun? When you approach 318 from here, you will reach the territory of Tibet, the Yanjing Salt Field, the only surviving artificial primitive salt-drying landscape. Of course, you can’t miss the special delicacy Jiajia Noodles when you get here. Only put a small mouthful of noodles in a small bowl and count the stones to see how many bowls of noodles you can challenge. The waiters who add noodles will sing and dance to cheer you up. I just hope you have a good meal and say hello and have no regrets on your trip.

Back to 318, you will find that there are a lot more vegetation on both sides of the road. That is because the section from Bomi to Linzhi is milder and wetter than other areas due to the influence of the Indian Ocean warm current, so many places here are covered with vegetation. It is known as "Little Jiangnan" and "Xishuangbanna". There is a lot of water vapor here in summer, and the distant peaks are basically invisible in the photos taken, but it is different in winter. The Namjagbarwa you want to see has all removed its veil.

As we get closer to Lhasa, we must go to Basongcuo. Its color is like emerald, but it is called "Little Switzerland". When you arrive in the holy city, you must not miss the Potala Palace. Even if you wait in line for half a day, it is worth it. Of course, there are still very few tourists in Potala in winter. In addition, Tibet’s free admission policy will definitely not make tourists wait too long. Long. The Jokhang Temple is the place where you see the most believers, and it is also a place with strong religious beliefs. You must speak softly and slowly here. It’s best not to miss the Thousand Buddha Cliff in Yaowang Mountain. The various small Buddha statues look more solemn in harmony with the silence of winter. Just rent a car to go to Yamdrok Yongcuo. The holy lake is always something people look forward to.
