RU YI LIN KA TONG GUO MAO NIU ROU

I have always wanted to eat yak hotpot, but it is too lonely to eat alone, and I can't eat it. I talked to my friends in the Linzhi group and we hit it off immediately. We found a restaurant with high ratings. Although it is not a traditional hotpot, it looks good. The yak hotpot is a good small portion, with a lot of beef and large pieces. After eating, I shabu-shabu other dishes, added tender beef and fresh yak meat, all very delicious. The beef here is not easy to shabu-shabu. The milk tea is more fancy, and the barley added is very fragrant. The waiter will help scoop it into the cup. The barley cake is delicious. People who like European bread should like it. Eat it with milk tea. The quantity is very substantial. One pot has four shabu-shabu dishes. 4 people didn't finish it. The service of the brother in the store is also very enthusiastic. It can be regarded as a wish to eat yak hotpot.

The service is very good, the beef is delicious, and there will be impromptu performances, which is worth coming.

An In-Depth Guide to Namtso: A Pilgrimage to Heavenly Lake and Sacred Mountain "The blue of Namtso is purer than any filter can achieve." Namtso, meaning "Heavenly Lake" in Tibetan, sits at an altitude of 4,718 meters. As one of Tibet's three sacred lakes and the world's highest large lake, its millennial coexistence with the Nyainqentanglha Mountains creates one of Tibet's most breathtaking landscapes. This guide will help you discover the lake's natural beauty and cultural heritage, allowing you to immerse yourself in the scenery with every step. Key Experience: Two Ways to Unlock the Sacred Lake The essence of Namtso lies in the contrasting scenery of its north and south banks. The cultural heritage of the south shore and the wild beauty of the north are both indispensable. South Shore, Zaxi Peninsula: Where Lake Meets Faith Zaxi Peninsula is the iconic core area of ​​Namtso and the first stop for most visitors. Here, you can not only touch the crystal-clear lake water up close, but also experience the profound Tibetan faith. A 2-3 km hike along the lakeside reveals palm-folding stones resembling lovers leaning against each other, welcoming stones resembling open arms, and mani stones carved with prayers along the way. Avoid touching them. [__LINK_ICON] Ancient murals depict the legend of the holy lake's origins at the Tashi Monastery on the peninsula. Observe silence and respect the worship rituals of the faithful. The daily sunrise at 6 a.m. is a must-see spectacle: the first rays of sunlight ascend the snow-capped peaks of the Nyainqentanglha Mountains, tinting the lake's waters a golden hue. The sunset at 7 p.m. is even more captivating, its amber-hued surface blending with the pink and purple clouds, creating a stunning, no-filter photo. [__LINK_ICON] In summer, flocks of red-billed gulls circle the lake, their graceful presence adding to the vibrant scenery. North Shore - Holy Elephant Gate: A Natural Gateway to Heaven Tucked away on the north shore, Holy Elephant Gate is Namtso's hidden gem. This massive natural rock formation resembles an elephant drawing water, its trunk dipping into the lake's surface, forming the "gateway to heaven." [__LINK_ICON] Upon arrival by sightseeing bus, you can first photograph the iconic "sacred mountain, stone elephant, and lake" composition alongside the stone elephant. For those with more energy, we recommend hiking to the Moon Bay Observation Deck for a panoramic view of the north shore, where the lake merges with the sky in the distance, with the reflection of Mount Nyainqentanglha swaying in the water. Please note that in 2025, Holy Elephant Gate requires advance reservations, and the total cost for the ticket and bus is 230 yuan. Practical Guide: A Complete Guide to Avoiding Pitfalls and Preparing Key Pre-trip Preparations - Altitude sickness prevention: This is crucial for any trip to Namtso. It's recommended to acclimatize to the altitude in Lhasa 1-2 days in advance and avoid heading directly to the holy lake. [__LINK_ICON] You can take rhodiola rosea a week in advance, prepare ibuprofen (for headache relief) and glucose solution, and purchase a portable oxygen tank in Lhasa. [__LINK_ICON] When you first arrive at the holy lake, avoid strenuous exercise. Avoid showering or drinking alcohol the night before. If you experience symptoms such as headaches or nausea, rest and use oxygen immediately. - Clothing and Equipment: The plateau experiences significant day-night temperature swings, so even in summer, you'll need a windproof jacket and fleece. In autumn and winter, be sure to bring a down jacket, thermal underwear, and non-slip hiking shoes. [__LINK_ICON] Sunscreen, a sun hat, and sunglasses are essential to protect against strong UV rays. Transportation and Tickets - Transportation: The lake is approximately 240-350 kilometers from Lhasa. Chartering a car or sharing a ride is recommended for flexibility and allows for stops and scenic views. Alternatively, you can take a direct bus to the scenic area, which takes about four hours. - Ticket Information: During peak season (May-October), the entrance fee to Zhaxi Peninsula is 110 yuan, plus a 100 yuan sightseeing bus. Prices are lower during off-season. [__LINK_ICON] Nagen La Pass (5,190 meters above sea level) offers a prime view overlooking the holy lake. However, the route is windy, so take precautions. Recommended Accommodation - Accommodation Options: For stargazing, stay at a lakeside guesthouse (such as the Blue Lotus Inn). The wooden cabins face the lake, and you can also experience butter tea making. The Starry Sky Camp includes breakfast and dinner, but you'll need to bring your own -15°C sleeping bag. [__LINK_ICON] If you're concerned about altitude sickness, stay in Dangxiong County. The Wanhui InterContinental Hotel has a medical oxygen concentrator, and the Kaitu Hot Spring Hotel has oxygen rooms with geothermal hot springs, perfect for resting on the way back. - Food and Beverage: At the lakeside teahouse on the Zhaxi Peninsula, enjoy Tibetan noodles with sweet tea (5 yuan per cup) while enjoying the lake view. The yak beef hotpot at Ruyi Linka in Dangxiong County is a must-try, paired with barley cakes and butter tea. [__LINK_ICON] Fried lung, steamed buns with curd residue, and sea buckthorn juice are also local specialties. Itinerary and Tips: Efficient Tour Guide 1-Day Highlights Route Depart from Lhasa at 8:00 AM, stopping briefly for photos at the Nagara La Pass. Arrive at the Zhaxi Peninsula around 12:00 PM. First, enjoy Tibetan noodles and acclimatize to the altitude. In the afternoon, hike to the peninsula's core attractions and visit Zhaxi Monastery. At 5:00 PM, head to the lake to watch the sunset. If you have more time, enjoy a short break at a teahouse before returning, or stay overnight to photograph the stars. 3-Day In-Depth Route Day 1: Acclimatize in Lhasa, visit Barkhor Street and Jokhang Temple. Day 2: Lhasa → Nagara La Pass → Zhaxi Peninsula, stay by the lake to photograph the stars. Day 3: Watch the sunrise in the morning → Holy Elephant Gate → Return to Lhasa. The beauty of Namtso Lake lies in the light and shadow of sunlight filtering through the clouds, the sound of fluttering prayer flags in the wind, and the legend of the sacred mountain and holy lake. Be prepared and approach with awe; this "Heavenly Lake" will surely become an irreplaceable sight in your heart. #Namtso #Namtso Lake in Tibet #The Beauty of Namtso Lake #Namtso Lake in Tibet #Super Beautiful Namtso
