Mount Sapo is truly breathtakingly beautiful

🏔Mount Sapo Located in Yangxiu Township, Biru County, Naqu City, Tibet 🌄 Elevation: 4800 meters ■Best viewing season: May to September 1️⃣Day1: Lhasa to Biru to Yangxiu Township by car takes 10 hours. Depart in the morning, passing through Damxung with a stop at the Nyenchen Tanglha Viewpoint for photos; lunch in Naqu City, and in the afternoon, pass through Biru with an optional visit to the Skull Wall Scenic Area, which is not highly recommended due to its cost-effectiveness. Arrive in the well-known Cordyceps county, Biru County, around six or seven in the evening, have dinner, and then continue on. The upcoming road will be winding and possibly driven at night during the ascent, so safety is paramount. Around eleven o'clock, when passing through the Shalashan Pass (elevation 5700), you'll be lucky to see the visible Milky Way and even capture a life photo with your phone (long exposure 10s/30s). After another hour's drive, you'll reach the accommodation for the night. The first day's journey is longer to catch the sunrise on Mount Sapo the next morning, so it will be relatively tough. - 2️⃣Day2: Yangxiu Township - Sapo Scenic Area - Outer Lake - Inner Lake - Return to stay at Outer Lake The drive takes 1.5 hours Ticket price is currently unknown due to new regulations The highlight is next! Mount Sapo is divided into Outer Lake and Inner Lake. It is recommended to view the sunrise on the mountain from Outer Lake for a more comprehensive and intuitive experience. It takes about 2 hours to walk from Outer Lake to Inner Lake, with lush aquatic plants and wildflowers along the lake shore, and the feeling of gradually approaching the snow mountain is incredibly awesome! At Inner Lake, you can see glaciers and meadows up close, and you can also continue to climb up the hillside to the temple (not recommended for those with average physical strength, as it is difficult and far). In the evening, you can return to Outer Lake to take photos of the sunset and the famous bridge. Accommodation can be chosen at Outer Lake, which is convenient for night photography of the stars. 3️⃣Day3: Sapo to Lhasa On the third day, you can also choose to get up early to see the sunrise on the mountain, but due to weather conditions, we only saw the great scenery on the second day. ⚠️Precautions: ■The scenery of Mount Sapo is very dependent on the weather, so try to choose your travel dates based on the weather forecast; . The 3-day, 2-night itinerary is for reference only and can be extended to include other routes in Tibet; ■Protecting the environment is everyone's responsibility
