When the majestic figure of the Potala Palace comes into view, its solemn aura seems to penetrate people's hearts, and walking in Norbulingka, which is known as the "Summer Palace of Lhasa", every step is like stepping in the long river of history, feeling the unique tranquility and harmony.

On Barkhor Street, the bustling Tibetans are religiously carrying out the sacred prayer turning ceremony, and their faith and piety are like a clear stream, cleansing people's hearts.

There are also the incense and butter lamps that linger all day long, which are not only symbols of faith, but also inheritances flowing in the bones, telling the stories and legends of this land.

At that moment, we deeply understood that Lhasa, a land full of mystery and charm, was unlike any other place we had ever been. It has a unique charm and style, which makes people forget to return and make people fascinated.

Mira Pass

Mila Mountain, located at the boundary between Lhasa City and Mozhu Gongka County, is also the only way to Gongbu Jiangda County in Nyingchi Prefecture.

Once you cross the majestic mountain pass, you will step into the arms of Nyingchi Gongbu Jiangda County, like a tunnel through time, feeling the changes of the region.

Therefore, on the Lalin Highway, Mount Mira has become a holy place for many travelers to check in, it is like a milestone, witnessing the footprints and stories of countless people.

Standing on the Mira Pass, overlooking the ground beneath your feet, you feel like you're in the middle of a vast sky. The tops of the snow-capped mountains dance in the clouds, and they embrace the sky affectionately, as if they can reach the ethereal clouds.

Beneath the clouds, sometimes heavy and sometimes light, the clear water is like a mirror, reflecting the shadows of the surrounding mountains. Colorful prayer flags flutter between heaven and earth, like ribbons of the earth, dancing with the sky.

At that moment, faith is no longer just a piety in the heart, it begins to be concretized, transformed into a beautiful scenery in front of us, which makes people feel awe and emotion.

Sikinratso

In the depths of the Tibetan language, Sijin Latso means "the mighty sacred lake", and this power, as if it has been passed down from ancient times, is still shocking.

For the local residents, it is the residence of the "rich man of the dragons", a sacred place full of mystery and awe.

The 15th day of the sixth month of the Tibetan calendar is a special day.

On this day, the Panchen Lama, the Dalai Lama and the Living Buddha of Drikung will come to Sijin Latso with devotion to pay respects.

They threw their gold and silver treasures into the lake as a way of expressing their deep gratitude and respect for the sacred lake.

Even as tourists, we may not be able to fully empathize with that deep faith, but when we are in this landscape, we can still taste the sacredness and solemnity.

In the open field, from time to time, creatures burst out, adding a bit of life to this land. The lake is sparkling and dazzling in the sunlight, like a jewel set in the earth.

By the lake, the mani stacks are stacked on top of each other, and the prayer flags flutter gently in the wind, everything seems so peaceful and harmonious.

In this sacred land, we can't even bear to speak loudly, for fear of breaking the peace and tranquility. We just want to quietly feel this beauty, so that the soul can be cleansed and sublimated.

Niyang River

The Niyang River, one of the four major tributaries of the Brahmaputra River, is affectionately known as the mother river by the Gongbu people. After crossing the majestic Mira Pass, the Niyang River flows from west to east like a loyal companion along the Larin Highway.

Along the way, we witnessed the gradual convergence of the Niyang River from a trickle into a rushing river, its water is clear and translucent, shimmering blue, as if it is a sapphire given by nature.

Every spring, the peach blossoms bloom, adding a bit of liveliness and lightness to the land. The peach blossoms and the Niyang River complement each other, forming a beautiful picture.

At this time, if you take a kayak and float leisurely on the river, the scenery on both sides of the river slowly unfolds like a surreal painting.

Along the way, we can see scattered villages, green fields, green hills intertwined with green rivers, and cattle and horses roaming leisurely.

Every minute and every second here is full of the breath of life, and it is a beautiful moment worth cherishing.

Midui Glacier

I came to Nyingchi not only to enjoy the sea of flowers in full bloom, but also to go deep into the Midui Glacier and feel the cold of winter.

The Midui Glacier, the kingdom of ice and snow, was once hailed by China National Geographic as one of the six most beautiful glaciers in China, and its magnificent scenery is breathtaking.

Although its main peak rises to the skies at about 6,800 meters above sea level, the snow line is only 4,600 meters above sea level and ends as low as 2,400 meters, making it the lowest glacier in the world and providing a great opportunity for many adventurers to get up close and personal with the glacier.

The sea of clouds and mist is like a dream. In the distance, it resembles a delicate watercolor painting, colorful and vibrant, and in the distance, it transforms into an elegant ink painting, hazy and profound.

Through the swirling fog, as far as the eye can see, it shows a picture that is completely different from the snowy plateau. The pine cedars all over the mountains, tall and verdant, dotted with small houses on the green grass, are like scenes from fairy tales.

The grass is green, the white clouds are light, the distant mountains are cascading, and the cattle and sheep are strolling leisurely. Wildflowers dot the area, several huts are scattered throughout, and not far away is the primeval forest that seems to lead to a fairy tale world.

Stepping into this primeval forest is like traveling back in time and space, back to ancient times.
