Hoh Xil
Hoh Xil is both a paradise and a hell, and a sacred place witnessing life and faith. The story of Hoh Xil is hard to tell; only those who have truly walked through it can understand.
It is hard to find another place in the world that gathers so many famous mountains and rivers. It is also hard to find so many great rivers whose sources are so close and interconnected. The source of the three rivers is the largest natural wetland distribution area in China. It is not only the 'Water Tower of China' and the 'Water Tower of Asia', but also a gene pool for wild animals, plants, and rare plateau species.
Tangfan Ancient Road
For more than a thousand years, there has been a path traveled by passersby from mainland China all the way to the snowy plateau—the Tangfan Ancient Road.
Longbao Lake
The wetland of Longbao Beach in Yushu is at an altitude of over 4000 meters. This unique natural condition and ecological environment create excellent conditions for birds to inhabit and breed, earning it the reputation of 'The Hometown of Black-necked Cranes'. Every spring and summer, many precious migratory birds, such as black-necked cranes, bar-headed geese, and brown-headed gulls, come here to breed.
Labu Township
This ancient village is nestled by the mountain stream and perhaps left the deepest impression on me during this trip, as I had never seen a Tibetan village resembling a fortress. Despite many people wanting to know the story, they still tried to ask the local residents. In the Tibetan homes, which are mostly single-story houses, the tallest castle-like structure stands out like a fortress. I think maybe there was a war here once, and it served as a means of defense. The adjacent rooms and the highest points are also well connected, showcasing the wisdom of the Tibetan people at that time. Moreover, this small village offers a perfect 'mountain and water' scenery, sitting here truly brings back many memories.
