The Qinghai-Tibet Highway is the safest way with the best condition entering
Tibet. On the way the altitude goes up gradually, which is helpful for the tourists
to get used to the plateau climate. Qinghai Lake is the largest landlocked salt
lake in China. From April to July, thousands of migratory birds gather on the
Bird Island that is less than 1 skm in the northwest of the lake. They soar in
the sky, or play in the clear water, bustling with noisy and excitement. Ta'er
Monastery is a famous Lamasery in Qinghai and the birthplace of Tsong Khapa, the
founder of Yellow Hat sect of Tibetan Buddhism. The monastery is noted for its
extraordinary sculpture of human figures, animalsand landscape carved yak butter.
Sun-Moon Mount is a very important pass on the "Tangbo Acient Street", and
it got its name when Princess Wencheng lost her Sun-Moon Precious Mirror on her
way to Tibet. Many beautiful legends are still popular till today. When we pass
Chaidamu Basin, we could not only go deep into the salt lake to explore, but could
see marvelous spectacle like storm and mirage as well. After crossing over the
first pass entering into Tibet-"Wudaoliang", tourists could appreciate the peculiar
view of Tuo Tuo River-the source of Changjiang River. The altitude of Tanggula
pass is 5231m, and it is the highest place of the route of Qinghai to Tibet. We
reach Tibet after crossing over the Tanggula pass. On the wide north Tibet grassland,
snow peaks, lakes, grasslands, and yaks, sheep herds spread here and there, which
form a gorgeous picture. "Yangbajing" is the biggest hot spring in Tibet. Tourists
could have a rest here, wash off the running down of the journey, and go to Shrine
Lhasa relaxed.(50 persons per group). |
