Lijiang 15-day travel itinerary in Tibet

Day 1: Lijiang-Qiaotou-Xiaozhongdian-Shangri-La (198km)

Starting from Lijiang and passing through Lashihai, water and sky are the same; Reach the bridge head via the first bay of the Yangtze River; The rugged mountain roads of Yulong and Haba Snow Mountain reach Tiger Leaping Gorge, one of the three largest canyons in the world, and are zero distance from Jinsha River, where you can feel the sunshine, boulders and deafening sound of waves. Going to Shangri-La in my dream, passing by Xiaozhongdian, endless grassland, idle highland barley rack and white stupa all hold your heart; After entering Shangri-La, after a short stay, stay in a Tibetan family for the night, enjoy Tibetan culture, get close to Tibetan life and feel a different way of life; Hotel: Xinlongmen Inn.

Day 2: Shangri-La-Benzilan-Deqin-Feilai Temple (193 km)

Songzanlin Temple in Shangri-La is called Little Potala Palace. Monks touch the top and pray for you. If there is fate, the other end of the living Buddha's attachment will be tied to you. Say goodbye to Songzanlin Temple, cross the seasonal Napahai Lake, also known as Ira Grassland, cross the Baimang Snow Mountain Pass, the highest on the Yunnan-Tibet line, and enter Deqin territory. Meili Snow Mountain, the first of the eight sacred mountains, is close at hand. Flying to the temple one night, there are nine pagodas in front of the door, and in front of us are thirteen peaks of Meili Snow Mountain, which radiate cold and holy light in the moonlight; Sue: Shenchuan in the snowy area.

Day 3: Feilai Temple-Foshan-Yanjing-Mangkang-Zhuka (378km)

Burning pine branches in front of the simmering mulberry table, hanging the prayer flags and looking at the Jinshan Mountain in Rizhao, a short moment brings permanent memories and nostalgia; Although Feilai Temple is small, it plays an important role and occupies an irreplaceable position in the hearts of Tibetans. From here, we will officially enter Mangkang County, Xizang Autonomous Region, which is the first county town after Sichuan entered Tibet, and also the place where the Yunnan-Tibet line and the southern line of Sichuan-Tibet line meet. At an altitude of 3,780 meters, it is famous for its colorful folk songs, dances and Tibetan operas, and is rich in apples. Jinsha River, Lancang River and Nujiang River, which originated from Tanggula Mountain in Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, compete in parallel within nearly 100 kilometers in this area, forming the so-called "three rivers and two walls" Sanjiang area, with dense forests, deep canyons, numerous landforms and beautiful scenery. The southern Sichuan-Tibet line and the Yunnan-Tibet line meet at Mangkang. Then climb the Wushan Mountain in Milla at an altitude of 4,293 and reach Zhuka Town on the Lancang River. Sue: Zhuka Inn

Day 4: Zhuka-Zuogong-Bangda-Basu (3 18km)

Starting from Zhuka, we first crossed the Lancang River to climb Bashan Mountain at the foot of the mountain, and then crossed the "Dongdashan Mountain", the highest mountain pass on the Sichuan-Tibet line, with an altitude of more than 5008m m. Looking from the Snow Mountain Pass, we can see that the Sichuan-Tibet Highway and Lancang River are like two colored belts, which are hidden and present in the front mountain. Not far from Zuogong County, there is an inconspicuous small temple, which is one of the few temples of the most mysterious Bonism (Black Religion) in the branch of Tibetan Buddhism. Cross the Bangda grassland to reach Bangda Town, with an altitude of 4,400 meters. Bangda Town is the intersection of the southern and northern lines of Laochuan and Tibet. It connects Changdu in the north, Linzhi and Lhasa in the west and Sichuan and Yunnan provinces in the east. It is an important transportation hub. The only airport in eastern Tibet, built on the open Bunda grassland, is the highest civil airport in the world. Farewell to Bangda and cross the biggest natural disaster in Hengduan Mountain. The mountain pass is 4839m above sea level, and it turns off from the famous No.99 Road to Nujiang River, and crosses the Nujiang Grand Canyon "Gamagou" to reach basu county. Basu Tibetan means "village at the foot of Warrior Mountain", with an altitude of 39 10 meters. Along the way, snow-capped mountains, virgin forests and rural scenery complement each other, and the scenery is surprisingly beautiful. In Dongdashan, the temperature in Bangda grassland can reach below zero, while it is around 20℃ on both sides of Lancang River and Nujiang River. The altitude difference experienced in one day can be nearly 2500m m, and the trip of this day is absolutely unforgettable for everyone. Accommodation: Basu Hotel Standard Room

Day 5: Basu-Ranwu-Laigu Village-Ranwu

After going out for eight nights, I crossed Anjula Mountain and came to the beautiful lakeside town "Ranwu", where Chayu and Lhasa meet. After lunch in Ranwu, I visited the ancient glaciers. Ranwu Lake is divided into Shangranwu Lake and Xiaranwu Lake. It is a famous glacial lake on the plateau and the birthplace of the Palong Zangbo River, with an area of 22 square kilometers and an altitude of 3,850 meters. The lake is surrounded by dense virgin forest, blue lake water, reflecting forest, crystal clear waterfowl and a fairyland-like scenery. Coming here will calm people's restless hearts, and the lake is like one side. "Ranwu Glacier Group" is like a huge cruise ship, moored in the glacial lake of Shangranwu. On the way through the glacier area "Ranwu Valley", the two walls in the ditch are huge snow-capped mountains. The car passing through the snow-capped mountains gives people great excitement, but it is also near misses. Accommodation: Ranwu Government Guest House

Day 6: Ranwu-Duodong Temple

Ranwu 158km wave density. Down the Palong Zangbo River, I came to Songzong Town, bomi county, a beautiful town with an altitude of only 1 100 meters and surrounded by snow-capped mountains and forests. With low altitude, abundant rainfall and fresh air, farmland, Tibetan houses, prayer flags, cattle and sheep form a charming subtropical pastoral scenery, which is called "Swiss of China". As this is the location of the East Himalayas, when you look up, there are snow-capped peaks all around. This paragraph suggests getting off and walking for a while. After lunch, visit Midui Village, the most primitive and beautiful Tibetan village where Midui Glacier is located, and visit Duodong Temple after arriving in Zhamu Town, bomi county. Hotel: bomi county Hotel Standard Room

Day 7: Bomi-Tongmai-Pailong-Lulang-Linzhi-Bayi Town (239 km)

Starting from Zhamu Town, bomi county, we walked all the way through the virgin forest and crossed the last natural disaster "Tongmai Natural Disaster" on the Sichuan-Tibet line. From Tongmai to Pailong, 15km section, in rainy season, mountain torrents and mudslides often cause landslides, which interrupt highways, and the famous 102 landslide section is among them. Pailongmenba Ethnic Township is an important entrance to the Yarlung Zangbo River Grand Canyon. Starting from this town, it is the most risky hiking route to go south along the Palong Zangbo River and reach the top of the curved arc of the Yarlung Zangbo River Grand Canyon. After long queues, the road conditions have improved. After crossing the dense forest like the sea, we crossed the snowy and misty Sejila Mountain at an altitude of 4,702 meters. This mountain is famous for its azalea sea in spring and summer, and it is also one of the best places to watch the famous "Nangarbawa Peak". After Sejila Mountain, you can go down to Linzhi County, which is called "Southern Tibet" in the lower reaches of Yang Ni. It is 2400 meters away from Bayi Town 19 kilometers above sea level. They are all two rows of asphalt roads decorated with poplars, and you can enjoy the giant Berlin, which is known as the "king of cypress trees in the world", 4 kilometers away from Bayi Town. Hotel: Bayi Town Hotel Standard Room

Day 8: Bayi Town-Basongcuo

From Bayi Town, enjoy the beautiful scenery of Yangni River along the way. According to legend, the Yangni River is made up of "the tears of the goddess", which is crystal clear, rippling in blue waves and extraordinarily beautiful in water color. Yangni River originates from Milla Mountain and flows eastward for more than 300 kilometers. It joins the Yarlung Zangbo River about 40 kilometers south of Bayi Town. After passing Gongbujiangda County, at the bridge head of Bahe River, a tributary of Yangni River, turn right at the intersection of Bahe Town, and continue driving for 44 kilometers to reach Basongcuo, a holy lake of Tibetan Buddhism in Ma Ning. Basongcuo, also known as Cuogou Lake, means "green water" in Tibetan, with an altitude of more than 3,500 meters and an area of 27 square kilometers. The lake is surrounded by mountains, like a piece of jasper embedded in a mountain canyon, with a light green luster like satin. The Tibetan language here is very similar to Lhasa, but the costumes are very different. It's a long shawl with a pullover called "Guo Xiu", which has a flavor of border guards. Accommodation: Tibetan houses in Jieba Village on the bank of Basong Cuo.

Day 9: Basongcuo-Gongbu Jiangda-Zhu Mo Gongka-Dezhong

Go out of Basongcuo and return to Bahe Town, take 3 18 National Road to the west of Yangni River, turn right at Gongbu Jiangda County, and go straight to Zhigongti Temple in Menba Township. The mountain top behind the temple is one of the two most famous celestial burial platforms in the world. After leaving the temple, I visited Dezhong Temple, a famous nun's practice place, and went to Dezhong Hot Spring for a bath. According to Tibetan legend, soaking in this spring water can cure many diseases. Hotel: Dezhong Inn
