4. Day Tuo Temple

Tibetan version of the Maldives

Drive After entering Yanghu Scenic Area, about 10 minutes later, at the end of the road, you will encounter a small island in the lake where a day care temple is built. The island is drop-shaped and surrounded by Yanghu Lake. There is only one driving road connected to the land, making people feel as if they have arrived at the end of the world.

The water of Day Care Yanghu Lake is like a fairyland, and it can instantly beat many foreign scenic day care centers without using filters. It's really exciting to see this Yang Lake changing from white to blue.

Once you get to the island, you have to walk to the top of the mountain. Like the Lhasa temple, the Ritu Temple is a red and yellow building. Although it is not large in area, it is also a complete temple with a history of more than 700 years. Perhaps this temple is unknown due to its remote location.

Standing at the Suncare Temple, a sightseeing spot in Yanghu, you can overlook the blue Yanghu at 270 degrees, so it can also be called the "Excellent Viewing Platform of Yanghu"!

5. Yiri Canyon

"Little Switzerland of the East"

It is known as the natural super "big oxygen valley". There are beautiful trees on both sides of the canyon, blocking the sunlight and releasing a large amount of negative oxygen ions. The cliffs beside the canyon tower into the clouds. You have to look up to see the blue sky, white clouds, mountains of different shapes and strange-shaped rocks, which all reflect the uncanny workmanship of nature.

In summer, come here and look at the green flowers, the sea of ??swaying wheat ears in the highland barley fields, the warm summer wind, the dry sunshine, and the leisurely scenery far or near. You will have the urge to stop and feel the quiet time and space as the yaks forage for food.

There is another natural beauty hidden in the boudoir in Jiduo Village, Shangka Township, not far from Yiri Gorge - Jixi Flower Sea is under a cliff, and there is a large flat area in the middle of the tall and dense virgin forest. The open fields are filled with yellow wildflowers every summer, which is extremely spectacular.
