In Shannan, I saw the real Tibet | Self-driving guide attached.

When we talk about Tibet It seems that we always think of the Potala Palace in Lhasa first Or the uninhabited area of Ali Qiangtang Or Mount Everest in Shigatse After going to Tibet 8 times I found that Shannan seems to be easily overlooked by people But after I really drove through Shannan once I think: This is the real Tibet Shannan is considered to be the birthplace of ancient Tibetan culture There is the first farmland in Tibet-Sariso There is the first temple in Tibet-Samye Temple There is the first palace in Tibet-Yongbulakang After driving in Shannan for 6 days I really like every moment here The scenery in early autumn in Shannan is also fascinating So the scenes recorded through the car window 🚗Share my 6-day self-driving itinerary reference with you D1 Arrive in Lhasa D2 Lhasa-Kesong Village-Gacha County D3 Gacha County-Yumai Township-Zhari Township-Longzi County D4 Longzi County-Cuona City Narongcuo-Cuomei County-Cuomei Naixi Township Xiongla Mountain Pass-Luoza County D5 Luozha County-Pumoyongcuo-Langkazi County Gangbu Gou-Qiaoyangcuo-Yamdrok Tso-Zedang D6 Zedang-Lhasa 🏔️The beautiful lakes and snow mountains along the way that should not be missed ✅Narongcuo: This is the largest lake in Cuona City. The west side is the 6,000-meter-level Kongbu Gang Snow Mountain. It is said that Tsangyang Gyatso was born here. Although it is relatively small among the many lakes in Tibet, it is also really beautiful. ✅Pumoyongcuo: South of Kula Gangri Snow Mountain, it is the sacred lake of the Bon religion and also the "Baikal Lake" in China. The lake is a quiet blue, and the distant snow-capped mountains are looming, romantic and time stop here~ If the itinerary is ample, it is recommended to stay in Tuwa Village nearby for one night, which is also one of the highest villages ✅Yamdrok Tso: One of the three major sacred lakes in Tibet, the Yanghu under the clear sky presents a very pure gem blue. You can go to Rituo Temple, located on a peninsula in the heart of Yanghu Lake, which is also known as the loneliest temple in the world ⚠️Self-driving tips: 1️⃣ The overall road conditions in Shannan feel better, but there are also some non-paved road surfaces that make people feel big, so try to use SUV, and prepare anti-skid chains in winter 2️⃣ Check the oil level at any time, refuel if you can refuel at the gas station, and try to keep the oil level sufficient 3️⃣ Apply for a border defense certificate before departure. There is also a border line in Shannan, and a border defense certificate will be required for inspection 4️⃣ There are many bends on the road and the plateau bumps, friends who are prone to motion sickness must prepare motion sickness medicine 📷 2024.10 Early October
