Basongcuo

The first sunshine comes through Lhasa River, I hardly sleep at night in hotel liberty paris because of the Mid-Autumn festival and gatherings of friends.

My mind is not clear at the moment. Although I drink to 4:00 pm, I hold back my crazy feelings. Since you have made your decision, continue your journey depend on your choice.

We go straight to the south of the mountain, taking off our confusions and puzzlement. Linzhi is the first place, since my friends haven’t been there.

I spend little time enjoying the fantastic sights, people say that reviewing is a pleasant thing. I’m eager to review this road which I walked by last year. Unfortunately, I have to sleep on the train because of the wine and hear the praise from my friends from time to time.

My friends take this photo, and I’m sleeping right at the moment.

This is protection zone of wet land in hotel mistral paris. It’s said that there are wild crucians weighing one kilogram or so in this river. Seeing this scenery, I fall asleep again. As a result, I miss the opportunity of seeing the Longda village where Srongtsen Gampo was born.

The hard-working people along the road, this is the most beautiful sight.

There are countless beautiful scenery on the way. This journey can be regarded as an enrichment of images in Tibetan.

The villagers collect the cow dung and ready for the winter. It seems that the winter comes so early in Lhasa!

We are approaching Mila Mountain which is a boundary of middle and southern of Tibet. The natural scenery is different totally in one year. On this side, there is a green forest; on the other, there is a dry plateau, which makes people full of emotional thoughts. 

This is a must when u arrive in Linzhi. The ticket is 135 yuan per person. The ticket is same as the entrance fee for Great Wall during our great wall tour. The island called Zhaxi is far away from riverside with a distance of about 100 meters, where it used to be a place for monks and priests pass through. And it becomes a myth, tourists can go to the island by walking through the bridge

Basongcuo, which means green water in Tibetan, is over 3700 meters and a sacred place. It’s said that it was a hollow island, namely the island is floating on the lake.

The famous temple built in Tang dynasty has a long history of 1500 years. There are numerous legends concerned about the temple. The temple is quite similar with the one in Xian that we visited during Beijing to Xian tour.

You can see high snow mountains and glaciers on the way, the green lake as well. There is a village called Jieba village at the end of road, which is 7 kilometers away from the island. It’s like a garden standing between green mountains and lakes.

A few Tibetans gather here, and we have no idea what they are doing.

We are about to leave and next stop is Lulang. It’s getting dark, we plan to find place to live at night. For me, a good sleep is necessary.
