Explore the Source of Three Rivers and Challenge the Beauty of High Altitudes

🏔️The Tanggula Mountains, known as the 'Source of Three Rivers,' are the origin of the Yangtze, Lancang, and Nu Rivers. The area boasts stunning natural scenery and diverse ecosystems. Visiting the Tanggula Mountains is not only a journey of reverence for nature but also an extreme challenge to oneself. 👟Starting from Lhasa, travel north along the Qinghai-Tibet Highway, enjoying sights like Namtso Lake along the way and gradually acclimating to the high altitude. The Tanggula Mountain Pass stands at an elevation of 5,231 meters, so be well-prepared with essential gear such as hiking boots, a windbreaker, and oxygen tanks, and take medication to prevent altitude sickness in advance. 🏞️In the Tanggula Mountains, you can admire magnificent natural landscapes including snow-capped peaks, glaciers, grasslands, and lakes, while also experiencing the rich Tibetan cultural atmosphere. Respect local customs and avoid touching cultural heritage sites, as this is a quality every visitor should uphold. ⏰The best time to visit is usually from May to October each year, when the weather is relatively stable and the scenery is beautiful. Remember to conserve your energy, stay safe, and fully appreciate the unique experiences this mysterious and majestic land has to offer.
