Li Tang
Ding Zhen exploded and brought fire to Sichuan Ganzi Litang, because Ding Zhen let us know Litang and know Litang.
Road travelers said, not to Litang, not to count Sichuan and Tibet! The famous 318 arch of the "Hall" of the Southern Sichuan-Tibet Line was established here, and it is also a necessary place to enter Tibet.
Snow-capped mountains, grasslands, glaciers, temples, white towers... It seems to be a free world, with snow-capped mountains at your fingertips and vast grasslands just outside your door.

East Asia
Yadong, a place that is touted by everyone who has experienced it, a place that is rarely marked on the maps and planned itineraries of travelers to Tibet.
It still seems to be a virgin land on the tourist map of Tibet, which means "whirlpool valley" or "deep valley of rapids" in Tibetan, which is a place that is cleaner than rice city and more affectionate than Nyingchi.
It is more like the back garden of Tibet, quiet, warm, simple and natural, but also has the quaint, warm and exotic style unique to border towns.
Of the people who have been there, there is not a single one who does not love it. It carries snow-capped mountains, faces the lake, has an ancient village inside, and has a forest outside... Beauty is like a place out of the world.
Tibet is so fascinating, people are fascinated by it, her beauty and heavenly path are scattered, she is a thousand dreams of a thousand people.
Maybe it's to find the freedom that has been lost for a long time, maybe it's to forget the past, maybe it's to find yourself again.
