Lhasa - Basum Lake - Sejila Pass - Lulang Forest - Lulang Town
Today you will depart from Lhasa and travel along China's most beautiful expressway — the Lhasa-Nyingchi Expressway — to Nyingchi, known as the "Jiangnan of the Plateau" and a natural oxygen bar, to visit the holy lake of the Red Sect — [Basum Tso]. Basum Tso is known as the turquoise of the plateau. It is shaped like a crescent moon inlaid in high mountains and canyons. The water is so clear you can see the bottom, and snow mountains are reflected in the lake, creating a truly enchanting scene that makes you feel as if you have truly returned to "Shangri-La." Snow peaks, glaciers, primeval forests, and ancient sites tightly surround Basum Tso. At sunset, the snow mountain peaks turn red while the base remains a deep dark blue. The silhouettes of trees near the lake float on the water surface, and the lake water is a serene blue, making this place like a fairyland on earth. There is a small island in the lake, and on the island is a temple built at the end of the Tang Dynasty — Cuozong Gongba Temple. The main deities enshrined in the hall are Guru Padmasambhava, Thousand-Hand Guanyin, and the Golden Boy and Jade Girl.
Afterwards, you will continue to Lulang Town. On the way, you will cross [Sejila Mountain] at an altitude of 4,702 meters. From the summit, you can gaze at Namcha Barwa, the crown of China's ten most beautiful famous mountains, with scenery just like the Swiss Alps. Afterwards, you will continue on to visit Lulang Forest Sea. [Lulang Forest Sea] is a forest of cloud mountains and misty seas, known as a place that "makes people not want to go home." The entire scenic area is like a poem or painting, surrounded by snow mountains, with lush forests in the valley and meadows so neat they look artificially trimmed. Finally, arrive in Lulang, enjoy the Nyingchi specialty dish — Lulang Stone Pot Chicken — for dinner, and stay overnight in Lulang Town.
