It is incomplete not to go to Tibet once in spring! The beauty of these minorities is intoxicating.

Someone once said: "For dreamers, Tibet is the oldest dream; Tibet is the ultimate memory for the deceased; For careerists, Tibet is the most unchanging secret; For travelers, Tibet will always be a magical holy land. " The great beauty of Tibet, whenever mentioned, makes people dream.

It has a vast territory and magnificent mountains and rivers. It is the "roof of the world" and "pure land on earth". In addition to the world-famous scenic spots at home and abroad, there are more secrets hidden in the boudoir, waiting to be uncovered. Perhaps it is a village in the corner, a little-known scenery, or a country with rich Tibetan feelings. ......

When I came to Tibet in March, everything revived, and the sacred lake on the vast land melted from the snow and "slowly woke up." "Cuo" means "lake" in Tibetan, and there are recognized "three sacred lakes" in Tibet: Mabang Yongcuo, Namtso and Yang Zhuo Yongcuo. Ma Bangyong CuO means "eternal and unbeaten Jasper Lake" and enjoys a long-standing reputation all over the world. Namtso means "Tianhu" in Tibetan, which shows its sacred position, while Yang Zhuo Yongcuo has the reputation of "the most beautiful water in the world".

Outside Sansheng Lake, there are countless lakes scattered in Tibet like sapphires. They have their own style, wait and see. Basongcuo is one of the largest freshwater dammed lakes in eastern Tibet, covering an area of more than 6,000 mu. The lake is charming emerald green, as its name implies.

Basongcuo Lake is crystal clear and surrounded by snow-capped mountains. Sha Ou and Baihe River float on the lake. The lake is clear and full of fun. Every spring, flowers bloom by the lake, and snow peaks arrange their reflections in the lake. The scenery is very pleasant.

The most unique thing about Basongcuo is that there is an island called Tashi Island in the middle of the lake, and there is a temple called Tsongsong Gongba Temple on the island, overlooking Tashi Island in the middle of the lake. The lake scenery on both sides of the lake comes into view as if you were in a fairyland on earth.

Skinracho is also a little-known minority. Located in the southeast of Riduo Township, Mozhugongka County, Lhasa City, Tibet. The Tibetan language means "a powerful God Lake", and the local residents call it the God Lake where the rich man "Bai Longwang" lives. Because its terrain is like a cornucopia, it is also called "Lake of Wealth".

The lake covers an area of 50 square kilometers and is located at an altitude of 4500 meters. The lake is blue, the mountains are towering, and the grassland is rich in water plants. During the period when cattle, sheep and all kinds of wild animals lived, there were peaks in the north that looked like the tortoise king, and there were also many places for meditation. There are 16 Lohan-like peaks in the east for the world to worship.

There are more mysterious and hidden lakes in Tibet. Located in Renduo Township, Zhongba County, Shigatse City, Tibet, there is a "land of the sky", that is Zabuye Salt Lake, the largest lithium salt lake in China. The world knows about Chaka Salt Lake in Qinghai, but this salt lake is not only bigger than Chaka Salt Lake, but also clearer.

What's more, it has the blessing of nature's "pink girl's heart", and its stunning degree is comparable to that of Uyuni salt marsh in Bolivia and pink Hutt lagoon in Australia. As a very small scenic spot on the north-central line of Ali, many "old drivers" who have been to Tibet several times may not have seen its beauty. There are almost no tourists here, and few people know about it!

Zabuye Chaka is divided into South Lake and North Lake. When it approaches Zabuye Chaka, you will first see a large salt field, just like a piece of snow. If you go down, you will see it in different colors. Sometimes it is light blue, sometimes it turns pink or even crimson, just like a colorful gem.

From the sky, Zabuye tea card is even more amazing. It is divided into countless salt ponds, white, pink and brown ... each cell has a different color, but it maintains a high degree of unity and harmony, which is better than the Jade Lake in the northwest. Some people say it's "nature's palette", others say it's "the Queen Mother's eye shadow tray".

As gorgeous as salt, there is also the Millennium Yantian in Mangkang Salt Well in the southeast of Tibet. There are more than 3000 laterite salt pans on the winding Lancang River. The best peach blossom salt in the whole Tibetan area comes from here, and the ancient salt drying technology has been passed down from generation to generation.

The output of white salt is small and the price is slightly expensive. White salt is generally edible salt. Red salt is commonly known as "peach blossom salt" because the peak of salt mining is mostly in March-May, which is the season when peach blossoms are in full bloom. When the afterglow of the sunset shines on the salt fields, the criss-crossing salt fields are like reflective glass, reflecting the crimson sunset. This kind of artificial primitive salt-drying landscape is called "the work of sunshine and wind"

In addition to ethnic minorities and beautiful scenery, there are many beautiful villages in Tibet that are not even known. They are usually hidden in the mountains, like "paradise lost" and like a paradise. Only when you really go deep into them can you feel their beauty. Someone once said, "There are many villages in Tibet, but the most beautiful one is the ancient village." .

On the way to Tibet, many people know about Ranwu Lake and Laigu Glacier, but few people know that there is a little-known small village-Laigu Village. Laigu Village is located in Ranwu Town, basu county, Tibet. "Laigu" means "hidden" in Tibetan, perhaps because the village is hidden in the rolling mountains, so it is named.

This small village, surrounded by several glaciers, is littered with houses and farmland in the basin affected by the melting water of glaciers along the lake. White snowy mountains, blue glaciers and blue sacred lakes; Yuan Ye with green grass, golden haystacks and blue roofs is like a paradise, so that chinese national geography once praised it as "the most beautiful village".

The village is home to more than 90 Tibetan farmers and herdsmen and more than 500 Tibetan aborigines. Up to now, it still maintains the primitive Tibetan life of semi-farming and semi-grazing. The majestic Laigu Glacier, the majestic Gangri Gabu Snow Mountain, the vast Shan Ye echo the scattered Tibetan houses in the distance, the cattle and sheep go out, the chickens and dogs sing, the traffic in the buildings, and the pagoda mulberry smoke form a pastoral holy land in the glacier mountain.

Zhaxigang village, a picturesque village on the Sichuan-Tibet line, is also a paradise of "picking chrysanthemums under the east fence and seeing Nanshan leisurely" and enjoys the reputation of "the first village in Lulang".

Zhaxigang village is called "auspicious slope" by Tibetans. It is said that when Princess XX passed by, she was amazed that it was an auspicious treasure, so she named it "Jixiangpo", which is called Zhaxigang in Tibetan.

In these quiet villages, there are no bustling tourists, no shutters that keep ringing, only a simple life of sunrise and sunset every day, the purest Tibetan customs. Tui Village is located on the east bank of Pumu Yongcuo Lake in Luozha County, Shannan Prefecture, Tibet. It is the highest village in the world, with an average elevation of 5070 meters. Some people even say that Tuiwa village is the entrance to heaven.

There are only over 30 lakeside villages with 150 people, including snow-capped mountains, blue sky, white clouds, meadows, lakes, yaks, temples and prayer flags. Because there are few people here and the air is thin, it is said that no more than 100 people have been there so far.

Every winter, the village will carry out an activity that has lasted for thousands of years-herding sheep. In winter, the pasture is deserted, but the grass on the central island of Pumuyong Cuo Lake is still fresh and tender. At this time, the villagers in Tui Village will drive the sheep from the frozen lake to the island in the middle of the lake and enjoy the fertile and tender grass for a month. A month later, before the ice melted, the villagers took the sheep back to the village. The documentary "Roof of the World" also introduces pushing the village to drive sheep in winter.

It is like a green gem set on the banks of the Yarlung Zangbo River. It is a tourist paradise with the lowest altitude, the highest oxygen content, the best climate and the best ecology on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.

Linzhi in spring and summer is a world of flowers. Alpine pastures keep the flowering period at a high altitude, and Linzhi has become an encyclopedia of flowers.

In Sejila Mountain, you can enjoy the dense vegetation, bamboo pruning and strange grass in Sejila Mountain. Passing through Sejilaguan (4720m above sea level), you can see the most beautiful peak in China-Nange Bawa Peak in sunny days.

In spring, the water of Yanghu Lake is extremely blue, transparent and deep. The distant snow-capped mountains and cattle and sheep on the grassland are serene and quiet, just like an intoxicating oil painting. As the largest inland lake at the northern foot of the Himalayas, its lakes and mountains are the most beautiful in southern Tibet.

In spring in Tibet, I came to Lulang Town to ride a horse. I look forward to it when I think about it. Lulang Town, known as "Little Switzerland in Tibet", is located on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau at an altitude of 3,700 meters. It not only enjoys the reputation of "the most beautiful town in 365,438+08", but also enjoys the praise of "I forgot my hometown when I arrived in Bruland".

I have heard of "Cordyceps sinensis", but have you heard of "Winter Sea and Summer Plain"? There is a secret place in Shangri-La-Napahai, a seasonal lake on the plateau, with grasslands in spring and summer and lakes in summer and autumn.

Napahai is called "Napachu" in Tibetan, which means "the lake behind the forest". With a total area of 3 1.25 square kilometers, flocks of cattle and sheep rise and fall with the grass sea, such as the sea, and the vast Yuan Ye is surrounded by the grassland beauty of "seeing cattle and sheep when the wind blows".

Spring and summer came, the rain gradually dispersed, and Napahai ushered in its dry season. At this time, the water area of Napahai is shrinking, and the surrounding meadows are gradually exposed. At this time, Napahai, known as Ira Grassland, is the largest spring pasture in Shangri-La.

Here, the mountains are high and the forests are dense, the ancient trees are towering, the activities of rare wild animals are frequent, and all kinds of precious Chinese herbal medicines are rich. This is the Picea koraiensis forest which was rated as one of the top ten most beautiful forests in China by chinese national geography.

The whole building of Songzan Rumei Mountain Residence is closely integrated with natural sites in the form of "retreating from the platform". It is adjacent to Zhuka Village in the north and has vast farmland in the south, with broad vision and suitable climate.

The hotel is a three-story wooden and stone building with prominent wing buildings on both sides. The main building faces the Lancang River, and the landscape is fully open, ensuring that every room can overlook the rushing Lancang River, and the green terraces are nearby.

Mangkang is an important post station on the ancient tea-horse road. In the lobby, you will see exquisite horse mats and Tibetan carpets.

The restaurant is divided into indoor area and outdoor area. There are 50 indoor seats and 30 outdoor seats. Dining by the majestic Lancang River will be a very unforgettable experience.

Thanks to good geographical and transportation conditions, high-quality ingredients from Tibet, Yunnan and Sichuan met in Mangkang. For example, the kitchen in Meishanju takes good care of the natural and delicious mixed taste of different ingredients, and is more ingenious in the design of dishes, trying to bring people a stunning and warm feast from taste buds to five internal organs.

Raindrop hiking, one of the top ten classic hiking routes in China, is now a mature outdoor route in Meili. It is an unforgettable experience to go hiking on a rainy day in spring. It takes about 5-6 hours to get from Yubeng Village to Shenpu Waterfall under the Snow Mountain, and the round trip is 12 km. You will see meadows on the hiking road, meet walking cattle and horses, and you will feel the peace and tranquility of the world.

There is a small lake on the grass of Xiayubeng Village, and the reflections of goddess peak and Wuguanfeng are just fixed in the lake. When tourists come to the lake, the first thing to do is to catch the ducks playing in the lake to the shore, and then wait quietly for the first sunshine to ignite the snow peak.

Shen Waterfall is a sacred place in the hearts of local villagers, and it is also the traditional destination of Merinai. From Xiayubeng Village to Shenwaterfall12km. At the top of the snow-capped mountain, the snow is filled with wind and snow, hiding the secret passage to heaven. The eternal ice and snow melt quietly, washing away the dust in the world. Only by visiting the foot of the waterfall can we feel the shock and understand why it is a sacred place in the hearts of local people.

Kawagebo Holy Land Records said: "Worship the waterfall of the gods caused by rain can increase the happiness of those who are blessed, those who are not blessed will be blessed, those who live long will live longer, and those who live to the end will live longer."

According to the custom, people who come to Shenwaterfall to turn the mountain should bathe under Shenwaterfall and turn the mountain clockwise three times, which means to wash away all the darkness with holy water and pray for the protection of Shenwaterfall. From then on, their body and mind will be holy. It is said that only those who are blessed and virtuous will get wet by the waterfall.

On the first night of the trip, after flying to Shangri-La Airport in Diqing, we will take a special bus to Benzilan, which is a warm post station in the Ganre River basin and a secret garden with fragrant melons and fruits.
