Nyingchi Basongcuo, Tibet｜This seriously underrated autumn scenic spot is now legendary!

Ah, sisters! This time in Nyingchi, I discovered an absolutely amazing hidden treasure! 😱 💫 This is Basongcuo Scenic Area, Tibet’s first national 5A-level tourist attraction! At an altitude of 3,480 meters, it’s beautiful all year round, but autumn is definitely its peak beauty 🍂 📍 Address: Cuogao Township, Gongbujiangda County, Nyingchi City, Tibet ⏰ Opening hours: 8:00 AM - 6:30 PM This is really not a filter! The lake water turns a super dreamy Tiffany blue 💙 in this season, reflecting the golden larch leaves, as if God spilled a palette of colors 🎨 📸 Photo tips: ✅ Best time: 7-9 AM (misty and ethereal) ✅ Outfit recommendation: red dress or white sweater (perfect match with autumn scenery!) ✅ Must-do: take a boat tour on the lake (ticket 120 RMB/person), and experience 360° unobstructed autumn views on the island in the lake ✨ Hidden gems: 1️⃣ Stroll along the wooden boardwalk by the lake, stepping on a thick carpet of pine needles 🌲 2️⃣ Snow-capped mountains faintly visible under the sunlight, sapphire-like lake water sparkling ✨ 3️⃣ Chance encounters with wild squirrels and Tibetan fragrant pigs, super cute 🐿️ Most importantly, there aren’t many people! No need to worry about crowds in your photos, you can shoot to your heart’s content~ (As this blogger says: rounding up means you basically have the whole lake area to yourself) 🚗 Transportation: 1️⃣ 1-hour self-drive from Nyingchi city (car rental 200-300 RMB/day) 2️⃣ One-day chartered car tour (about 500 RMB) 3️⃣ You can also join local tours, which include guides and tickets for convenience This autumn, you must come experience Tibet’s lesser-known fairyland! Missing it means waiting until next year~ Hurry and check it out before too many people discover it! 🌟 Quick travel tips: ✔️ Bring a down jacket for big temperature differences ✔️ Remember sunscreen for strong UV rays ✔️ Bring an oxygen bottle if you’re prone to altitude sickness
