Driving from Nyalam County to Gyirong County in Shigatse City along National Highway 219, the light blue lake slowly emerging on your right side will definitely amaze you. The snow-capped mountains on the other side are majestic and spectacular, complementing each other and making the surrounding scenery even more elegant and charming. Lake Paiku is not only the largest lake in Shigatse, but also the largest inland lake in the Mount Everest National Nature Reserve. It is 250 km away from Tingri County, covers an area of about 300 square kilometers, and has an altitude of 4,590 m. Because it has remained low-key for many years, Lake Paiku is like a pearl on the plateau forgotten by time, quietly waiting for every traveler to visit. It's very serendipitous, and that's what I appreciate most about it. In Tibetan, "Paiku" means "auspicious," and "Co" means "lake." So, in my opinion, although Lake Paiku is not very famous, it is worth a visit for both its meaning and its natural scenery. Interestingly, it is said that half of the lake's water is fresh and the other half is salty. If you are interested and brave enough, you can try tasting both.

🌟 This self-drive tour of Tibet ends in the high-altitude southern region of Tibet. Finally, I can share my thoughts on self-driving in Tibet in winter. This route follows the border. On some days, you need to show your border pass four times. A border pass and ID card are essential, so be sure to carry them with you. 🌟 This route takes you around some of the most beautiful snow-capped mountains. In my opinion, the most beautiful is Kula Kangri, with its snow-capped mountains and lakes. You need to make an effort to see the beautiful scenery. The most stunning is the frozen Puma Yumco Lake, and the most beautiful lakes are the uninhabited Chongba Yumco Lake and Zongcuo Lake. 🌟 In terms of accommodation, the conditions in Tibet have improved a lot compared to four or five years ago. Even the two worst places on this trip, Luozha County and Gangba County, have underfloor heating. Hotels above 4,000 m with oxygen generators are much better. In Lhasa, I recommend the Pingcuo Kangtsang Oxygen-Rich Hotel. Self-drive travelers love this hotel, and the conditions are great. 🌟 Prices in Lhasa are not cheaper than in Shanghai, and busy restaurants are not necessarily good. It's all down to luck. However, there are plenty of chain milk tea, coffee, and restaurants, which is a big improvement. 🌟 10-Day Tibet Tour Itinerary Day 1: Fly from Shanghai to Lhasa via Chengdu. The altitude is a little high at 3,600 m. Check in to the Pingcuo Kangtsang Oxygen-Rich Hotel in Lhasa. The view from this self-drive hotel is also highly recommended. Day 2: Visit the Potala Palace in Lhasa. The Potala Palace is built on a mountain and is magnificent. The main building consists of the White Palace and the Red Palace. The White Palace is the winter palace of the Dalai Lamas and the center of political and religious power. The Red Palace is a place for religious activities and the tombs of the Dalai Lamas. The palace houses countless Buddha statues, scriptures, and precious cultural relics. After visiting the Potala Palace, go straight to Yaowang Mountain and bring a 50 yuan note. Yaowang Mountain is opposite the Red Mountain, where the Potala Palace is located. It is a great place to take photos of the Potala Palace and is the location of the image on the back of the 50 yuan note. Day 3: Lhasa—Yamdrok Lake—Puma Yumco Lake—Luozha County, altitude 3,800 m. Check in to the Luozha Longba Manor Hotel. Yamdrok Lake is 4,441 m above sea level and is one of the most famous lakes in Tibet. Puma Yumco Lake is between 5,000 m and 5,100 m above sea level and is the largest freshwater lake in southern Tibet. Luozha County is located on the southern slope of the Himalayas, with an average altitude of 3,870 m. Day 4: Luozha County—Cuoyu Village—Baimalin Lake Hike—Kangma County, altitude 4,300 m. Check in to the Kangma Yuhuang Oxygen-Rich Hotel, which is close to the county and has convenient transportation. Cuoyu Village is a small Tibetan village at an altitude of 4,160 m and is an important stop near the starting point of the Baimalin Lake hike. The hike from Cuoyu Village is about 12 km, with an altitude of about 4,500 m. You need to cross meadows, climb hills, and traverse cliffs. Day 5: Kangma County—Chongba Yumco Lake—Duoqingcuo Lake—Zhuomulari—Dui Na San Cuo Lake—Qudeng Nima—Gangba County, altitude 4,600 m. Check in to the Gangba Plateau Oxygen-Rich Hotel. This route passes through many beautiful lakes and snow-capped mountains in Tibet. The scenery along the way is picturesque, and the self-drive tour is amazing. Day 6: Gangba County—Zongcuo Lake—Xilin Viewing Platform—Mount Everest Guandi Temple—Gyirong Town, altitude 2,900 m. Check in to the Gyirong Oxygen-Rich Hotel. At Mount Everest Guandi Temple, you can see the peaks of the Mount Everest Scenic Area and experience the shock of the top of the world. Gyirong Town is an important port between Tibet and Nepal. There are many Nepalese people and shops in the town, and you can experience the unique border style. Day 7: Gyirong Town—Peiku Lake—Mount Everest Castle—Shigatse, altitude 3,900 m. Check in to the Shigatse Hilton Hotel. Peiku Lake is the largest inland lake in the Mount Everest Reserve. The lake is clear and blue, surrounded by mountains on three sides, and the terrain is open. There are wild horses, Tibetan wild donkeys, Tibetan antelopes, and other wild animals on the shore of the lake. Mount Everest Castle is a military fortress built by the Qing army more than 200 years ago. The castle is a great place to see Mount Everest, and you can see the Himalayas from the castle. Day 8: Shigatse Tashilhunpo Monastery—Lhasa, check in to the Pingcuo Kangtsang Hotel. Tashilhunpo Monastery is located in the Sangzhuzi District of Shigatse City and is one of the four major monasteries of the Gelug Sect of Tibetan Buddhism. The monastery houses the world's tallest indoor bronze statue of Jampa Buddha. Visiting hours are from 9 am to 6 pm. Day 9: Lhasa Jokhang Temple and Ramoche Temple. Jokhang Temple is located in the center of the old city of Lhasa. It was built more than 1,300 years ago by King Songtsen Gampo to house the statue of Sakyamuni brought from Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty. This temple is not only a holy place of Tibetan Buddhism but also a treasure of Tibetan culture. Ramoche Temple is located about 500 m north of Barkhor Street in Lhasa. It was built in the mid-7th century and houses an 8-year-old statue of Sakyamuni, which is extremely sacred and precious. Day 10: Fly from Lhasa to Shanghai. Finally, the 10-day trip is over, and I can go home and have a good sleep on the plains.

Paba Temple is located in the central square of Gyirong Town. It looks like an ancient temple. After some research, I found out that it is a thousand-year-old temple. Legend has it that when Princess Bhrikuti of Nepal married Songtsen Gampo, she passed by here and left a statue of Sakyamuni Buddha, which led to the construction of this temple. The temple has obvious Nepalese characteristics, with eaves on each floor and flame-shaped ornaments made of brass on the eaves corners (see Figure 7). Does anyone know what Figure 8 is?

From the moment I entered the Qomolangma National Nature Reserve, my head, hair, eyes, ears, and nose all became "sensitive"! Oh my god! It's so beautiful! After seeing enough of the yellow soil of Ali for the past two days, this is what a fairyland looks like! In Jin Yong's "The Return of the Condor Heroes," when Xiaolongnü jumped into the bottom of the Valley of Despair and lived there for 16 years, it must have been a place like this. This place is probably another amazing place for me after the Wusun Ancient Road and the Muji Crater.

10.5📍Lake Paiku Live | I'm about to cry 😭😭 |||The lake is so blue and the snow-capped mountains are so clear 🏔️ It's like a dream. When we left by car, listening to Leslie Cheung's "Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter", I sang in my heart: "Ignite the illusory life, I am so lucky." "This is some kind of fate, I am so grateful." For a moment, I felt dizzy, and tears kept spinning in my eyes. I hope that every spring, summer, autumn and winter, whether it is amazing or ordinary, can be treasured for every beautiful encounter in life.

How can there be such a blue lake in the world, the lake is clear as a mirror, reflecting the white clouds in the sky and the snow-capped mountains in the distance, so beautiful as if in a dream. The top of the snow mountain is covered with snow, the peaks are towering, and it is so clear that it seems to be within reach, which makes people awe. Such a scene is like a carefully drawn picture scroll, which makes people intoxicated and unwilling to wake up. Driving slowly away from this fairyland, the classic song "Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter" by Leslie Cheung is playing in the car. The familiar melody and touching lyrics seem to add a bit of poetry and romance to this journey. "Ignite the ethereal life, I am so lucky", yes, I am so lucky to be able to see such beautiful scenery and have this unforgettable journey. "It's some kind of fate, I'm so glad", yes, all this is due to fate. I am glad that I can come to this place, witness this blue lake and clear snow mountain with my own eyes, and feel the magic and magnificence of nature. This touch, this joy, made me trance for a while, as if I was in another world. The inexplicable sadness quietly surged into my heart, and tears were spinning in my eyes. Maybe it's because this beauty is too short, or maybe it's because I'm about to leave this fairyland, my heart is full of reluctance and nostalgia. But in any case, I hope that every spring, summer, autumn and winter, whether it is amazing or ordinary, can make me full of love and expectation for life. May every spring, summer, autumn and winter, I can meet the beauty in life. Whether it is the first ray of sunshine in the morning or the stars at night; whether it is the wild flowers and grass by the road or the mountains and rivers in the distance. Every encounter is a gift from life and a treasure worth cherishing. Let us embrace every spring, summer, autumn and winter with a grateful heart, and embrace every beautiful moment in life.

2023 June 12, the 90th day of self-driving around China, from Shigatse in Tibet to Gangga Tushan Landscape to Gyirong Town in Tibet, covering a total distance of 590 kilometers. It was a tiring day of driving. In the early morning, the sunlight slanted through, and the scenery outside the car window looked like an oil painting. The road was winding and the scenery was ever-changing. Passed by Mount Everest, Gangga Town, Peiku Tso, and Gyirong Valley. This route, crossing seas of clouds and snow-capped mountains, bears witness to dreams and resilience. Tushan's layers are stacked upon each other, resembling the wrinkles of the earth, recording the vicissitudes and changes of the years. Driving through them is like traveling through ancient and mysterious worlds. In the distance, the Himalayas stand tall, with snow-capped peaks. Passing by Mount Everest, the ticket was too expensive, so we chose to check in at the gate. The Guandi Temple in Gangga Mountain Town overlooks the Himalayan range. Four peaks over 8,000 meters high stand like gods between heaven and earth. This is not only a visual feast but also a purification of the soul. Tibet is a magical place, every place, every lake, is a scenic spot. Especially the lakes on the Tibetan Plateau, each one is breathtakingly beautiful. Stepping into Peiku Tso, my eyes were washed by the blue in front of me. Gazing at Mount Shishapangma hidden in the clouds, I was intoxicated in this dreamy blue world. Even more magical is that the color of the lake's surface changes automatically with the weather. Peiku Tso is like a flowing poem, a living painting. Gyirong Valley is a highlight of this part of the journey. Located below Mount Shishapangma and next to Peiku Tso, it is the westernmost of the five valleys in the Shigatse area. Inside Gyirong Valley, the natural scenery is enchanting, with both the majesty of high mountain snow peaks and the tranquility of river valley grasslands. The Kairong Waterfall along the way, with its spectacular sight of falling water, attracts countless tourists to stop and watch. Gyirong Town, this small town at the southern foot of the Himalayas, is known as the 'Back Garden of the Himalayas.' Gyirong Town is at a relatively lower altitude with a pleasant climate, making it one of the ideal rest stops. The town's architecture has a Nepalese style, especially the famous Paba Temple, which gives a unique charm to the exotic culture.
