How about traveling to Tibet in summer?

Tibet, located in the southwest border, is one of the larger provinces in China. It is located in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, where the climate and literati tradition are unique, and the rich natural resources and various places of interest attract the attention of a large number of tourists.

Why do people who like to travel recommend traveling to Tibet in summer?

Because Tibet in summer is wetter than other seasons, the trees are lush, the climate is not so dry, and the air is relatively oxygen-rich, so it is not easy to cause high reaction, and even if it reacts, it adapts quickly.

Let's not talk about oxygen content now. Let's show you the scenery of Tibet in summer. Since travel agencies have pushed me to Tibet in summer, let's take a look at the summer scenery I took in Tibet in recent years. What kind of scenery will you see when you go? After reading it, you can decide whether to go or not.

Compared with other seasons, it is rainy and cloudy in summer, but the smog in Tibet is different from that in the mainland. There is no excessive PM2.5 in Tibet, no factories with chimneys, no automobile exhaust and no high-rise buildings, so even if there is smog, the horizon is very transparent. Today, I will send you a group of summer Tibet. In addition to the blue sky and white clouds, the plateau under the haze is equally beautiful without friends.

2/kloc-the desert next to the 0/9 national highway, all the students who have been to Ali should have taken photos here, but that's what happened when I passed by, there was no shining light, only dark clouds overhead.

2 19 The famous town of Payang. This town has become a rest point between Shigatse and Ali Shiquan River. Much like those western towns in the movie, the feeling of overcast clouds went straight to the roof.

Many people have seen the golden sunrise of Guge dynasty and searched a lot on the Internet. Unfortunately, there was no amazing sunrise. I had to climb to the top of this ancient dynasty and wait for the sunshine. The dry valleys below, the old houses, and the haze in the distance cover the past history.

The dried-up riverbed under the Guge dynasty.

But turning around, standing on the Guge dynasty and looking at the other side, the sun always hides behind the clouds and can't break through, just like the history of the mysterious Guge dynasty, which has never been solved.

Perhaps, the evening sun can break through the clouds, and you will see a sunset different from other seasons. The moment when the light breaks through the clouds is the most beautiful. This is an ordinary evening in summer in Zhada County, Tibet.

It's raining in the distance, so you can take pictures. The gray on the horizon is like a curtain, which is pulled up to cover the distant road.

An unknown measure by the roadside, the snowy mountain can't see the top.

In summer, there is a green land outside Geelong County. Even in the rainy season, because the altitude is too high, grass can't grow on the green land. This is the northern part of the Himalayas, and it is now the port between China and Nepal to Nepal. From there, you can go to Kathmandu. (Zhangmu Port has been closed to tourists due to the 20 14 earthquake.

Let's look at the cloudy days on the plateau. Is there a feeling of depression? Clouds covered the distant mountains from far to near.

Let's take a look at the cloudy city of Lhasa, the legendary Sunshine City, which has also become mysterious and more sacred in rainy weather.

People who are always on the plateau in summer will certainly encounter such a scene, which is a landscape for photographers.

Of course, you will meet Tibetan antelopes in Hoh Xil in summer, and it will snow in Hoh Xil in summer.

On the roadside of the Qinghai-Tibet line, rows of power towers stand, which is also a beautiful scenery.

Of course, summer in Tibet has another feature. You have seen the rape flowers in Qinghai Lake many times on the plateau, so you can also see the rape flowers blooming under the castle.

I've met Yang Zhuoyong countless times. The best time I met him was in summer, which can't be described in words. Look at the following two pictures.

Seeing such a blue lake, I thought I was in Maldives, but the feeling of lack of oxygen reminded me that this is Yang Zhuo Yongcuo, one of the holy lakes in Tibet, with an altitude of 4,300 meters, and a rainstorm is coming.

When you go to Tibet in summer, you can also see all kinds of wild flowers in full bloom, including Gesang flowers, but I recommend this spike flower, a purple sea of flowers, but this flower has thorns, so be careful when approaching.

This purple sea of flowers is not so large around Shigatse and Lhasa.

Every summer, the rape blossoms on the plains of Chu River are in full bloom, and in the distance is Shan Zong Castle in Jiangzi City, which is very beautiful.

Generally, travel agencies will stop at the roadside from Lhasa to Gyangze. You can take the picture below, but it must be in July. If you have enough time, I suggest staying in Gyangze for one night to feel the charm of this ancient city.

Then Gesang flowers are everywhere in summer, and now many inland cities have begun to plant them, but they will always bloom better in areas with long sunshine hours.

The unknown wild flowers next to Yongcuo on the horse side of the holy lake are extremely beautiful and bloom alone.

In summer, in August every year, there is a traditional Snowdon Festival in Lhasa, which is as important as the Tibetan calendar year, and many units also take seven days off. This is a Buddhist exhibition in Lhasa Temple, with a sea of people.

When you come to Naqu and Shigatse in summer, you will also meet the annual horse racing festival. This is the situation that the stadium is crowded with ordinary people waiting for the opening of the horse racing festival. Is it fun?

Therefore, if you go to Tibet in summer, if you are an ordinary tourist, don't worry that rainy weather will affect your mood, because the rain in Tibet comes and goes quickly. After the rainstorm, there may be a rainbow hanging on the horizon, which will give you a big surprise. If you are a photography enthusiast, the changeable weather, and various folk activities, whether shooting scenery or humanities, I believe your camera will be full before you come back.

Summer is always full of beautiful memories, and everything grows. In this sunny season, apart from a little heat, it is more praise and reputation for vitality. When you travel to Tibet in summer, you will certainly gain a lot.
