Go to Basongcuo first in the morning. It is the famous Ma Ning Pai Holy Lake. The lake is crystal clear, surrounded by snow-capped mountains and virgin forests. The lake is full of fish and very quiet. Zhaxihu Island also has a long history of Cuozong Gongba Temple and unique statues. Then go to Sheba Castle.

Ranwu Lake, fresh as a mirror, is often rich in color.

The second route: 5-day tour of China-Nepal Highway.
Day 1: Sundin Temple in Yongcuo, Yang Zhuo
Starting from Lhasa, climb gambara Snow Mountain at an altitude of 4,990 meters and go to Yongcuo, Yang Zhuo. Here, lakes, snow peaks and blue sky blend together, making people linger. Later, I went to Sundin Temple, visited the only temple in the Tibetan inhabited area where a female living Buddha was the abbot, listened to the legendary living Buddha story here, and stayed in Langkazi for one night.
The next day, Pala Manor, Baiju Temple and Zongkangying Site of Jiangze Mountain.
After breakfast, I went to the anti-British ruins in Shan Zong, Gyangze, recalling the heroic anti-British scenes of Tibetan compatriots and listening to the stories of those Tibetan heroes. In the afternoon, I came to Baiju Temple and visited the typical Tibetan Buddhist temple building combined with this pagoda temple. Then visit Pala Manor, the only well-preserved old aristocratic manor in Tibet, and spend the night in downtown Shigatse.
Day 3: Tashilhunpo Temple Sakya Temple
After breakfast, go to Tashilhunpo Temple. The pavement paved with gravel at the foot of the Himalayas and the fence carved and decorated with dry Buddha statues have built the Panchen Lama's residence into an iron sheet, which is self-evident. Eat near the temple at noon and come to Sakya Temple in the afternoon. Here, sporadic farmhouses extend along the foot of the mountain to the plain. Unique houses are arranged in an orderly way, and the quaint streets and lanes are also orderly. You can feel the unique side of Tibet.
Day 4: Mount Everest Nature Reserve
After breakfast, go to Everest Nature Reserve. Rongbu Temple is one of the best places to see Mount Everest. At Everest Base Camp, you can also find the manager of Everest Post Office, stamp him with a postmark commemorating Everest, and then leave a postcard at the post office for delivery.

Day 5: Zhangmu Port, Ma Feng, Xixia Kingdom
On the fifth day, after breakfast, I went to Zhangmu Port. On the way through Nyalam County, you can also see the majestic Xixiabangma Peak. In the afternoon, I came to Zhangmugou and finally arrived at Zhangmugou Port. Here, I can feel the altitude slowly decreasing from the snowy plateau, and gradually see trees, forests, waterfalls, banana trees, banyan trees and bamboo, and experience the strange journey all year round.
The third route: 6-day tour of the new Tibet Highway.
Day 1: Sakya Temple
From Shigatse, it takes about half a day to reach Saga County. After lunch, visit Sakya Temple. Sakya Temple has more than 40 building units, which is a magnificent temple complex and a representative building combining Tibetan and Chinese architectural styles. Temple art treasures are vast, and cultural relics are of high value, so it is called "the second Dunhuang". Stay in Kanda Sayaka County.
The next day: Yong CuO Ma Bian
Starting from Sagar County, after passing through Zhongba, you will arrive at Hall Township, where Maping Yongcuo, the holy lake, is located. Ma Yongcuo, which means "eternal and unbeaten Jasper Lake" in Tibetan, is one of the three sacred lakes in Tibet. The natural scenery by the lake is very beautiful. Since ancient times, Buddhists and Bones have regarded it as the "world center" of the Holy Land. As the king of the holy lake, Ma Yongcuo is a must-see attraction even for ordinary tourists. Near the night show.
Day 3: Gang Renbo, Feng Qila Angcuo
Get up in the morning, continue to visit Yongcuo at the side of the horse, and then go to Qi Feng, Shenshan Rinpo. Gambo Qi Feng is shaped like a pyramid and is often surrounded by white clouds. It's hard to see its true colors. The peak is covered with snow all year round, which is very visually shocking. There are also several temples around Rinpoche Mountain, around which pilgrims from all over the world turn every year. Then go to Pulan and spend the night in Pulan County.
Day 4: Tolin Temple in plank Harbor.
Go to the border trade market in Pulan in the morning. Known as the land surrounded by snow-capped mountains, Pulan has been an important foreign trade channel in the western plateau since ancient times. Pollan's border trade market is probably the simplest "international trade market" that most people have ever seen. The operators are mainly Nepalese, selling spices, fabrics and jewelry from Nepal and India. Then go to Zada County and visit Torin Temple.
Day 5: shiquanhe town, Zada Stone Forest, Guge Dynasty ruins.
Visit the ruins of Guge dynasty in the morning. 1300 years ago was the capital of the Guge dynasty. The site covers an area of about 6,543,800 square meters. Houses, pagodas and caves are all over the mountains, which is very spectacular. After the visit, go to Zadatulin.

Day 6: Bangong Cuo, Ritu Castle, Ali Grassland
Leave shiquanhe town for Ritu County in the morning, passing through Ali Grassland. Then go to Getu Castle. This is the site of the ancient Tushan Sect, which looks like the Potala Palace.
