D18 Lhasa~Yanghu Lake~Gyantse~Shigatse

Lhasa has a magical power that makes people reluctant to leave once they come. I have lived for five days, and it is time to go to look up at Mount Everest, otherwise I really have to stay and not leave.

Generally go to Yanghu Lake is to take the G318, I choose to take the country road. Although it is difficult to walk, you can walk into the simple and primitive Tibetan village.

This way of walking has another advantage, that is, if you really enter the villages in the Tibetan area, you can also have a closer and closer contact with Yanghu Lake for a longer period of time.

After passing the Yarlung Zangbo River Bridge, turn left when you see the road sign of Gangduo Village and enter the township road, and you will arrive at Gongga Qude Temple not far away.

D19 Shigatse~Everest Base Camp~Basong Village


The purpose of going today is to go to the base camp to see Mount Everest and take pictures of the sunset of Jinshan in the sunshine. The original plan was to live in a tent hotel, but seeing the poor conditions (7-8 people per tent, in case someone snores, don’t sleep this night), I decided to drive dozens of kilometers to live in Basong Village.

Going to Mount Everest may be everyone’s long-cherished wish, but only professional mountaineers can really get in touch with it. We ordinary people look up at Mount Everest up close.

When going up the mountain, it was still raining intermittently. When we reached Mount Everest at 3 pm, the light rain had stopped, but Mount Everest was still covered by clouds and fog. Ask the owner of the tent hotel in the base camp, the owner said that you can see the Rizhao Jinshan at 8:00.

After shooting the sunset, it was almost 9 o’clock. The conditions of the tent hotel in the base camp were really poor. Considering that I had to drive and play alone, the rest conditions should not be sloppy. Decided to go down the mountain in the dark to live. 80 yuan/night, the price is the same as on the mountain, but the level of comfort is not the same level.
