2 19 national highway, with a total length of 10000 kilometers, is the top scenic highway in China!

Along the way,

There are glaciers, snow-capped mountains, canyons and tropical rainforests. The most amazing thing is the colorful and beautiful plateau lakes along and around Tibet!

Route: Linzhi City-Cuomei County-Luozha County-Langkazi County

If you take National Highway 2 19 from Linzhi to Ali, you can take a little detour to see Pumo Yongcuo in Langkazi County when you arrive in Luozha County, Shannan City.

Pumo Yongcuo is located 58.4 kilometers southeast of Langkazi County, surrounded by Yanghu Lake.

Pumo means "maiden" in Tibetan, so it is also called "maiden lake", with an altitude of 50 10 meters. Every year on Kulagang Day, tourists come to Pumoyongcuo in an endless stream, which is a sacred mountain surrounded by snow-capped mountains.

Perhaps many domestic tourists first heard that Pumo Yongcuo was in the documentary "Roof of the World".

When the lake freezes in winter, local herders use paths paved with ashes to drive their sheep to the island in the lake to graze.

Many people are famous for their unique Lan Bing and lovely sheep, so Pumoyongcuo is also called "Lake Baikal in China".

Travel tips:

In winter, Pumoyongcuo usually ends freezing at 1, and nearby shepherds will also drive the sheep to the island in the middle of the lake for the winter and spend the calving period; When spring returns to the earth, the sheep will be taken back before the ice lake is unsealed.

Route: Langkazi County-Gyangze County-Kangma County-Yadong County

The newly-built 2 19 national highway runs through the small lake at the northern foot of the Himalayas. Although the lake here is small, it is more tender because of the snow-capped mountains and glaciers.

Snow-capped mountains and lakes are always the most moving scenery, and Duoqingcuo is one of them.

Standing by the lake of Duoqingcuo, looking to the southeast, a row of snow-capped mountains rises from the ground, which is the famous Zhuomulari Snow Mountain and its towering peak. Zhuomulari Snow Mountain is located on the border between China and Bhutan, which means "the bride of the Zhang family in Gancheng".

In terms of height, Zhuomu Lali, at an altitude of 7,326 meters, is inconspicuous in the Himalayan mountains where peaks gather, and this honor should benefit from the sacred temperament created by it and Duoqing Cuo.

Travel tips:

Duoqingcuo is the only place to go to Yadong and belongs to the National Wetland Park. There are no tickets for the celebration, and it is open 24 hours a day. It is the first choice for outdoor camping!

Route: Yadong County-Gamba County-Dingri County-nyalam county-Geelong County.

Pekucuo is located at the junction of nyalam county and Jilong County in Shigatse City, leaving Gangga Town in Dingri County and continuing westward along National Highway 2 19.

Pekucuo is the largest inland lake in Everest Nature Reserve. Standing here, you can see the 1 1 peak at an altitude of 7000m and more than 40 peaks at an altitude of 6000m in Mafeng, Xixia State.

With endless lakes and Himalayan barriers in the distance, Pekucuo is a popular punching place for snow mountain enthusiasts in recent years.

There is also a lake wetland to the southeast of Pecucco. When you walk past it, you will meet herds of Tibetan wild donkeys.

Travel tips:

The new national highway 2 19 is between Xixiabangma Peak and Pekucuo, where the tourism infrastructure is perfect, including observation decks, shops and toilets.

Route: Geelong County-Zhongba County-Pulan County

In Tibet, the most concerned lakes along the 2 19 national highway are two sister lakes: the holy lake-Mapang Yongcuo; Ghost Lake-Ranag-Tso Lake.

The two lakes are famous for their unparalleled scenery, and another reason is Rinpoche, where a sacred mountain stands on one side. This "one mountain and two lakes" has been enjoying the changes of the four seasons for many years, giving people inspiration from God with the power of nature.

Mabang Yongcuo is the highest and most transparent freshwater lake in China, so the whole lake is clear and transparent.

The plateau with less light pollution is also an ideal place to shoot the starry sky, and the sky is very thorough.

The moon is hanging in the morning, waiting for the sun and the moon to shine together. At night, Yongcuo on the side of the horse is very quiet, so quiet that it seems that you can hear the pounding of horses' hooves in Tang Xuanzang's Buddhist scriptures.

Travel tips:

Ma Bangyong CuO is 35 kilometers east of Pulan County, Ali Prefecture, Tibet.

Route: Pulan County-Ranage-Lake Cuo

The famous "Ghost Lake" Ranagcuo Lake and the "Holy Lake" Mabangyongcuo are just separated by a river, and the highway from Wu Si to Pulan County passes between the "Holy Lake" and the "Ghost Lake", with infinite scenery.

The lake color of Mabangyongcuo is different from the "ghost lake" Ranagetso Lake. The lake in Mabangyongcuo is pure and blue, and the visibility can reach tens of meters, while the lake in Ranagecuo is blue with black, which makes people have some mysterious reverie.

Why is it called "Ghost Lake"? As can be seen from our previous articles

Route: Pulan County-Zada County-Ritu County

Bangong Lake is a beautiful scenery on the border of China. In Tibetan, it is called "Cuomu Angra Rinpo Lake", which means "Xianhe Changhu Lake".

Bangong Lake is probably one of the few lakes in Tibet that is not a "holy lake", so it has become one of the few lakes in Tibet where water conservancy projects can be carried out.

When tourists board the ship, they can appreciate the changes of different islands, birds and water colors in Bangong Lake, and the surrounding hills and lakes are reflected in it, which makes people forget that it is at high altitude.

The long and narrow lake has created a very unique landscape effect, and the lake is light in the east and salty in the west. (It is fresh water in Ritu County and salt water at the junction of Ritu County and Ladakh in the west. )

In the fresh water area in the east of Bangong Lake, there are abundant aquatic plants and beautiful aquatic creatures, attracting thousands of waterfowl. Every May and September, Bird Island in Bangong Lake becomes the best bird-watching tourist spot in Tibet, attracting a large number of tourists to visit here.
