Ali is not a place to check off your list, but a place to experience!

📍 **Why Ali?** "No Ali, no Tibet" This is a pure land blessed by sacred mountains and holy lakes, a hidden realm where wild wilderness and ancient civilization intertwine. The pilgrimage around Mount Kailash, the azure holy light of Lake Manasarovar, the magical landforms of the Zanda Clay Forest, the millennial mysteries of the Guge Kingdom… Every step is a pilgrimage to freedom. ### 🌄 **Must-Visit Spots in Ali** ✅ **Mount Kailash**|The center of the world, where believers measure their faith with their footsteps ✅ **Lake Manasarovar**|Capture the reflection of the "holy lake and holy mountain" alongside Mount Naimona'nyi ✅ **Zanda Clay Forest**|At sunset, step into a desolate, otherworldly epic ✅ **Ruins of Guge Kingdom**|Touch the heartbeat of a kingdom that vanished overnight among the broken walls ✅ **Dark Night Park**|The Milky Way is within reach, the ultimate romance for astrophotographers ### 📸 **Photography Guide** ✨ **Guge Kingdom**: Golden clay forest at sunrise + silhouette of the ruins, full of cinematic vibes! ✨ **Lake Manasarovar**: Wear a long red dress and stand by the lake, creating a strong contrast with the snowy mountains and lake shore ✨ **Dark Night Sky**: Tripod + long exposure, capture the spectacle of the Milky Way arching over the clay forest ✨ **Highway Shots**: Along National Highway 219, with the wilderness as your backdrop, capture candid shots as you walk! ### �️ **High-Altitude Survival Tips** ⚠️ Altitude 4500+ meters, drink Rhodiola in advance, bring oxygen tanks & glucose ⚠️ Extreme temperature difference between day and night! A jacket + fleece + sun hat + sunglasses are essential ⚠️ Limited accommodation, it is recommended to bring a sleeping bag and toiletries ⚠️ Respect beliefs! Do not walk counterclockwise around Mount Kailash, and do not step on Mani stones
