Remember to punch in when you recommend these must-see attractions in Tibet's winter travel guide.

Tibet's winter tourist attractions have basically introduced preferential ticket prices, which are very suitable for tourism. Tourists are deeply impressed by the natural environment, ancient Tibetan culture and many precious architectural relics and cultural relics of the magical plateau in Tibet. If you go to play in winter, there are not many people and the ice and snow scenery is not bad at all, how can you play? Keep looking down.

1, Pumoyongcuo Pumoyongcuo is not so famous compared with Sansheng Lake, but it is definitely the most worthwhile place for you to go in winter.

Pumoyongcuo is surrounded by mountains, so the calm lake surface is easy to form the wonders of Lan Bing at low temperature, and its scale and shocking power are even less than that of Lake Baikal, so it also has the reputation of "Lake Baikal in China", which is more blue and crystal clear against the blue sky.

Arrival traffic

Ordinary bus

There is no direct shuttle bus to Pumoyongcuo in Lhasa, but you can take the shuttle bus from Lhasa to Langkazi, and then transfer to the shuttle bus in Luozha County. You can get off at Pumo Yongcuo, but the bus will have a strong smell, so it is not recommended to take the shuttle bus.

The distance from Lhasa to Pumoyongcuo is about 2 10 km, and the whole journey is smooth. Good road conditions, suitable for self-driving or free travel.

Although the 40 Glacier is well known to the public, the original landscape here is well preserved and few people visit it in winter. If you are not in a hurry, setting up a tent here at night will naturally give you the best feedback.

Arrival traffic

The distance from Lhasa to Glacier 40 is about 450 kilometers. If you want to reach your destination, you can only charter or carpool, because there is no road in Pumo Yongcuo.

Magnificent snow-capped mountains, frozen lakes, beautiful islands and flying snow, the beautiful Namtso has become an ice and snow paradise in the cold winter.

Namtso in winter is less noisy and more peaceful for tourists. There is almost no sound here, only the blue sky and the white lake set each other off, quiet and cold. It's like a peaceful painting.

Day 1: Lhasa-gambara Mountain-Yanghu Observation Deck-Yang Zhuo Yongcuo-Lhasa.

5. In the middle of winter, Basongcuo is only blue and white. The blue lake reflects the charm of trees, and the white snow has become a resting place for black-necked cranes returning from the south to feed.

Seen from a height, the lake is as green as Dai, the green hills are as Dai, and the snow on the summit is not melted. The island in the middle of the lake is like a gem embedded in the green lake, embracing the white clouds, quiet, charming and atmospheric.

For thousands of years, Sapu, the sacred mountain of Bognis Mountain, has stood tall among the peaks, and the main peak has been honored as the king of the local mountain gods, and Sapu has helped the Lagabbe Glacier to extend down the mountain. Only when you go to Sapu can you deeply understand what is "absolutely beautiful".

In Sapu winter before the snowstorm, you will see the incomparable Sapu Lan Bing. It is more ethereal and beautiful than Lake Baikal. In winter, Lake Sam becomes a blue ice lake, and the waves freeze into light blue ice flowers.

7. In the winter of Mount Everest, the visibility of Mount Everest is the highest all year round. So you don't need to fight for character and luck to see Mount Everest in winter. The top of the world lifts the mysterious veil, welcomes the purest sunshine with the cleanest posture, and shows her beautiful face to thousands of admirers.

The majestic Mount Everest is even more majestic in winter. The snowy plateau covered with sunshine is not cold. During the day, it is warmer in direct sunlight than in most parts of China. The departure of a large number of tourists, only the warm sun, Tibetans and scenery that have never been seen before, gave this vast land a quiet.

It is troublesome and time-consuming, so it is not recommended to take the shuttle bus.

8. Come to the ancient glacier. When I came to the ancient glacier, I looked magnificent from a distance and pure and flawless from a close look. Here, you can see glaciers, as well as large pieces of ice floes and glacier tongues. You can also cross the ice lake and get in close contact with glaciers. This is a wonderful experience that no other glacier has.

Approaching the crystal clear blue glacier, it seems to be back to the ancient ice age. Touch these Millennium glaciers at your fingertips, and the pure ice core glows blue. Under the strong sunshine on the plateau, the wonderful feeling of extreme heat and cold will definitely make you unforgettable all your life.

9. Yangbajing You may hardly see the name Yangbajing in other seasons, but in winter, it is the sweet cake in your hand. Soak in the highest hot spring, the cold wind sweeps, and the warm spring brings heat to every part of the body. I'm not cold at all. Facing the white snow mountain, I sigh that this world is really worth it!

Morning is the most beautiful moment of Yangbajing scenery. The steam volatilized from geothermal energy evaporates, and buildings and hills are hidden in it, which has some hazy feeling of fairyland on earth.
