Xining street view photography recommendation

Are you as tired of boring city life as I am? You go to work and get off work every day, breathing pungent exhaust gas and looking at the depressing gray sky, but you don't feel the happiness of life at all. I really want to insert wings, leave the surface of the earth and escape from the earth.

Although it is only a small complaint, I still hope to go to a place where I can relax and release the polluted air that has been suppressed for too long. I dare not expect too much, even if it is only for a few days, I think it is enough.

There is a place, a place where the earth is closest to the sky, and a place where mortals are closest to God, and that is Tibet. It is said that travelers have a dream of Tibet in their hearts, and life is incomplete without going to Tibet in this life. Feel the power of faith, see the magic of nature, start a trip to Tibet and realize that beautiful dream!

Tibet is a place where souls rest, where there are countless legends and myths, and where countless people who are tired of secular life want to go. I think that every soul polluted by the world should come to Tibet. For dream seekers, Tibet is an ancient dream. For the deceased, Tibet is an eternal memory; For people with lofty ideals, Tibet is a mysterious land …

In the high-rise buildings of the city, in the ruthless and complicated competition, many pure things have been lost in shacks. Only in the pure land of the vast world can we be a real person. Tibet's holy land, standing in the clouds, is a dream city in the sky!

G3 18 in Sichuan and Tibet is the most beautiful scenic avenue in China.

The Sichuan-Tibet line refers to the first highway connecting Chengdu, Sichuan and Lhasa-Tibet National Highway 3 18, also known as Sichuan-Tibet Highway, with a total length of 2142km, which is the longest national highway in China and the most beautiful scenic avenue in China. Prior to this, its predecessor was the ancient tea-horse road with a history of thousands of years.

▲ Nujiang 72 turn

Starting from Chengdu, the land of abundance, all the way to the west, shuttling between mountains and magnificent scenery, endless natural scenery, such as: photography paradise xinduqiao, Aden, the last Shangri-La rice city, Yarlung Zangbo River Grand Canyon, fairyland Ranwu Lake, Linzhi, Switzerland, Tibet and so on. Over the years, it has attracted countless travelers.

▲ Ranwu Lake

Seda, crossing mountains and rivers just for that touch of red.

Seda, the largest Buddhist college in the world, brings together devout Buddhists from all over the world to make a pilgrimage here and purify their souls. Walking into the Buddhist College was very shocking. In the mountains at an altitude of 5 thousand meters, dense little red houses have sprung up, which is an unprecedented human landscape.

This is a red prayer flag flying at an altitude of 4000 meters, which is a pure land of spiritual penance in a wild valley far away from the noise of the world of mortals. This is the paradise of the soul, and this is the purgatory of life. Twenty thousand pious hearts seem to have heard the call of Buddha, regardless of gender, age and national boundaries. They are pious and determined to stay away from the rolling world of mortals, put their bodies and minds in poverty, and let the scriptures read out the peace of mind.

Daocheng Aden, the last piece of pure land on the blue planet.

Daocheng-Aden Scenic Area is located in the south of Ganzi Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture in Sichuan Province, where there are snow-capped mountains, glaciers, canyons, forests, meadows, lakes and other landscapes. The three sacred mountains of Xiannairi, Yangmaiyong and Shanuoduoji also make it a holy place for Tibetans to worship.

Some people say that Daocheng Aden is "the last pure land on the blue planet", which was first discovered by American explorer Joseph Charles Francis Rock. Later, james hilton, a British best-selling writer, was inspired by Locke's story about his exploration in Yunnan and Tibet, and wrote the novel The Lost Horizon, which made Aden so famous that westerners still think it is the legendary Shangri-La.

Mount Everest, the top of the roof of the world.

Mount Everest is the closest place to the Milky Way on this blue planet. After thousands of years of silence, you didn't tell everyone what the real height is. So you are no longer a paradise for snow and wind, a forbidden area for no one to climb. When people of different colors hug you, you start to fidget a little, but you can't stop the warriors from climbing.

Qinghai-Tibet line, walking on the roof of the world

The Qinghai-Tibet Highway and the Qinghai-Tibet Railway, the great passage into Tibet, crisscross in parallel, and bear 80% of the transportation of materials entering Tibet. Compared with 3 18 national highway on Sichuan-Tibet line and 2 16 national highway on Yunnan-Tibet line, it is more majestic, vast and magnificent, with unique beauty.

You have crossed the sea of people, the sacred mountains, the rivers, the uninhabited areas where the wilderness is extremely extreme, and the Gobi, which spreads like the sea, with an average elevation of more than 4,000 meters dotted with sacred lakes of different sizes. What a magnificent view of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau!

Never forget why you started, and your mission will be completed.

"Re-optimization of related production lines"

Good lines need to be constantly updated and iterated. Based on the suggestions and feedback from teammates and the experience of thousands of trips to Tibet, we will adjust the route every year to ensure that every teammate has a satisfactory trip to Tibet …

This year, we added Everest base camp to our itinerary, so that everyone can feel the shock of the top of the world at close range. In front of this sacred mountain, even life seems insignificant. Only by looking up and being completely convinced can we express our feelings at this time.

About border defense certificate

I'm worried that some teammates may not get the border card before they leave, or they may not have time to go back to their hukou. So we made a two-day renovation plan in Lhasa, one of the purposes is to ensure that all the players can get border defense certificates smoothly. In Lhasa, Lhasa will accept dozens of people or 200 yuan, and you can't enter the Everest base camp without a border card.

"border card processing flow"

Border card processing process: consult at the window of the police station in the government affairs hall where the household registration is located. Local processing is free. Please indicate Mount Qomolangma (Xizang Autonomous Region, Shigatse, Ali, Shannan, Linzhi, Tibet) (Hong Kong and Macao compatriots need Hong Kong and Macao passes).

……

"Different teams to choose from"

Toyota Prado team

Mainly based on Toyota Prado off-road vehicle, the chassis has high strength, good crashworthiness, strong impact resistance and good passability.

SUV+ business motorcade

Some Buick GL8 commercial vehicles have been added. According to teammates in previous years, this model has excellent ride comfort. Our team leaders and drivers are experienced, and each of them has entered Tibet dozens of times.

"Follow non-traditional ways of traveling"

Carpooling and semi-self-help travel, all vehicles are off-road vehicles or Buick business, one for each person, which is more comfortable. Donkey friends gathered all over the country, and Chengdu set out. You can stop to take pictures at any time, without being in a hurry or taking a cursory look. Free accommodation, AA sharing, free from greed and self-abuse, free from hidden rules in the tourism industry, free from any shopping and invisible consumption, sincere, transparent and open, to maximize the autonomy and personalization of travel, to interpret the meaning of travel with the most cutting-edge travel methods and travel concepts, and to restore the true nature of travel.

good news

From now on, the top 200 teammates who sign up for the 20-day tour in Tibet, 18 and 15 will each get a free ticket to the Potala Palace! While stocks last, first come, first served, now or never!
