I came to Basongcuo specifically for this sapphire!

Basongcuo is 369 kilometers away from Lhasa.
2 hours from Linzhi
The lake is 3,464 meters above sea level, 15 kilometers long and 3 kilometers wide.
Basongcuo means "a green lake under three rocky mountains" in Tibetan.
·
This is one of Tibet's 5A scenic spots.
Off-season 💴【Tickets】: Tickets 120 yuan, sightseeing bus 45 yuan
No need to buy a sightseeing car
There is also a cruise ticket for 180 yuan
·
Lake Island
Legend has it that this island is a "hollow island" because it is not connected to the bottom of the lake, but floats on the lake.
On the island, there is a Tang Dynasty building called "Cuozong Gongba Temple", which is a famous Nyingma sect temple of the Red Sect in Tibet. It was built in the late Tang Dynasty and has a history of more than 1,500 years.
·
Forgotten Pier
Few people here really know
There are more cows on the road.
But there are few snow-capped mountains and sunset sales in the scenic area.
·
The latest new hiking destination: Xincuo
Located in the scenic area, but the road is difficult to drive, it takes about 1.5 hours to reach the hiking point
·
Preparation before departure
The temperature difference between morning and evening is quite large here, so it is recommended to bring all the clothes with you!
The day after we left, it snowed in the mountains
