Ali | The Closest Place to Heaven, Reach Out and Touch the Milky Way

🌌Ali | The Closest Place to Heaven, Reach Out and Touch the Milky Way ✨If Tibet is the "Roof of the World," then Ali is the "Starry Sanctuary on the Roof." 🌌 Here, there is no light pollution, no noise— only the pure darkness at an altitude of 4,500 meters and the Milky Way cascading down like scattered diamonds. 🌠 【Recommended Observation Spots】 1️⃣ On the Kailash Kora Route The dark sky reserve at the foot of the sacred mountain The Milky Way seems to flow down from the peak, where the stars and faith intertwine. ✨ 2️⃣ By the Shores of Lake Manasarovar The holy lake reflects the entire starry sky, where the stars shimmer at the horizon. No need for photo editing—stunning shots straight out of the camera! 📸 3️⃣ Zanda Earth Forest Viewing Platform Millennia-old eroded landscapes + starry sky backdrop It feels like traveling to an alien world. 🌗 Even with a smartphone, time-lapse photography can capture breathtaking scenes. 📸【Photography Tips】 ✅ A tripod is essential! The wind in Ali is strong, so prepare for it. ✅ Bring a wide-angle lens under 24mm. ✅ The temperature difference at night in high altitudes (-5℃ to 10℃) requires a down jacket and hand warmers! ✅ Use the Star Walk2 app to check the Milky Way's position in advance. 🌠【Magical Experience】 At 3 a.m., witness a meteor shower explosion 🌠 with dozens of meteors streaking across the night sky. Make wishes until you run out of words, haha! It's said that visiting in winter offers a chance to see aurora-like Milky Way colors. Already secretly planning a December revisit! 💡【Important Notes】 ⚠️ A border permit is required for Ali. ⚠️ Be prepared for both daytime sun protection and nighttime warmth. ⚠️ It's recommended to join a professional stargazing group or have an experienced guide. 📌 DM me for itinerary details. "When the Milky Way hangs vertically overhead, I suddenly understand the romance of being 'blanketed by the cosmos.'" 💫
