In the early morning, waking up to the curling smoke from the Tibetan village, we set off on a new journey with high expectations.

First, we arrive at Moxi Park, which seems like an otherworldly place. The peculiar stone forests present different shades of gray under the sunlight, resembling a natural Chinese ink painting. Walking among the stone forests, it's like being in a maze, and every turn brings us a new surprise. The wind whistles through the stone forests, as if nature is telling an ancient legend.

Leaving Moxi Park, we reach the vast Tagong Grassland. The grassland is like a huge green carpet stretching all the way to the horizon. The white clouds seem to be within reach, and groups of cattle and sheep are grazing leisurely on the grassland. The distant snow - capped mountains stand out majestically against the blue sky. Here, we can ride horses galloping across the grassland, feeling the sense of freedom and wildness.

Then, we head to Yuzixi. When we reach the top of the mountain in Yuzixi, the beautiful scenery in front of us is truly breathtaking. The afterglow of the setting sun bathes the earth, dyeing the whole world golden. The distant snow - capped mountains shine with a golden light in the sunset, like golden mountains. Here, we can sit quietly on the mountaintop, enjoying this magnificent sunset and feeling the magic and grandeur of nature.

Finally, we arrive in Xinduqiao, which is known as the "World of Light and Shadow". Every inch of land here exudes an artistic atmosphere. In the evening, the afterglow of the setting sun shines on the fields and Tibetan houses, creating beautiful light and shadow. We can take a stroll on the country road, enjoying this peaceful and wonderful atmosphere, and ending this day's journey perfectly.

In the early morning, starting from Xinduqiao, we embark on a journey full of challenges and surprises.

Tianlu Shibawan is like a giant dragon winding through the mountains. When we drive on this winding road, every turn is full of excitement and thrills. The scenery outside the window keeps changing, sometimes with rolling mountains and sometimes with deep canyons. Standing on the viewing platform and overlooking this magnificent scenery, we can't help but marvel at the uncanny workmanship of nature and the great wisdom of humanity.

Leaving Tianlu Shibawan, we come to Litang Letong Ancient Town. Litang, known as the "Highest City in the World", is filled with a strong atmosphere of Tibetan Buddhism. In Letong Ancient Town, the ancient temples, traditional Tibetan buildings, and pious believers form a unique picture. We can stroll on the streets of the ancient town, feeling the peace and tranquility here, visiting the ancient temples, and listening to the melodious chanting, as if our souls have been purified.

Next, we head to Haizi Mountain. Haizi Mountain is a magical place with numerous alpine lakes and glacial relics. Standing on the mountaintop and looking around, the large and small lakes are scattered like bright pearls on the land. Surrounded by a desolate sea of stones, it's like a relic from ancient times, making us feel the vicissitudes of nature.

After leaving Haizi Mountain, we arrive at the Daocheng White Pagoda. The Daocheng White Pagoda is an iconic building in Daocheng, and its white body looks especially sacred under the sunlight. There are many prayer flags around the pagoda, and they flutter in the wind, making a rustling sound as if telling people's wishes. We can walk around the pagoda, feeling the strong religious atmosphere and praying for our families and ourselves.

Finally, we reach Daocheng/Shangri - la Town. This small town is nestled among the mountains, quiet and beautiful. Here, we can take a good rest to prepare for tomorrow's trip to Yading in Daocheng.

Today, we are going to start a dreamy journey in Yading, Daocheng.

When we enter the Yading Scenic Area, it's like stepping into a paradise on earth. The three sacred mountains, Xiannairi, Yangmaiyong, and Chanadorje, are like three giants guarding this land. Their peaks are covered with snow and shine with a holy light under the sunlight.

Following the hiking route, we come to Pearl Sea. Pearl Sea is like a green gem inlaid among the mountains. The lake water is so clear that we can see the bottom, and the surrounding forest is reflected in the water, forming a beautiful picture. Standing by the lake and looking up at Xiannairi Mountain, we can feel its majesty and holiness.

Continuing on, we reach Milk Sea. Milk Sea is in the shape of a scallop, with blue - green water in the middle and a milky - white water belt around it, like a blue gem inlaid among the mountains. The lake water sparkles in the sunlight, so beautiful that it takes our breath away. The distant snow - capped mountains, the grassland under our feet, and the Milk Sea in front of us complement each other, creating a poetic and picturesque scenery.

Wuse Lake is not far above Milk Sea. It presents five different colors under the sunlight, colorful and ever - changing. Standing by Wuse Lake, we can feel the magic of nature.

On this day, we are completely immersed in the beautiful scenery of Yading, Daocheng. Every step seems like a dream. Although the hiking process may be a bit tiring, all our fatigue vanishes when we see these magnificent views.

In the early morning, saying goodbye to Daocheng/Shangri - la Town, we set off on our journey again.

Passing through Litang, this mysterious high - altitude city, we seem to be able to hear the love songs of Cangyang Gyatso floating in the wind. The sky in Litang is still as blue as ever, and the golden roofs of the temples shine in the sunlight. We can take a short break here and feel the unique charm of this city again.

Leaving Litang and moving forward, our field of vision gradually broadens. The scenery along the way keeps changing, sometimes with towering mountains and sometimes with vast grasslands. When we arrive in Batang/Mangkang, this small town at the junction of Sichuan and Tibet is full of rich ethnic customs and unique regional cultures. Here, we can taste the local special cuisine and feel the collision and integration of different cultures.

Starting from Batang/Mangkang, we face a challenging journey.

Rumei, a small town located on the banks of the Lancang River, has unique natural scenery. The green river rushes through the canyon, and on both sides are steep mountains covered with lush vegetation. Here, we can enjoy the magnificent canyon scenery and feel the powerful force of nature.

Next, we need to cross Dongda Mountain Pass. The pass is at a high altitude with thin air. As we drive slowly towards the pass, the surrounding scenery becomes more and more desolate as the altitude increases. Standing on the pass, the cold wind howls, and the distant snow - capped mountains stretch continuously, as if nature is testing us. But when we overcome the altitude sickness and successfully cross the pass, a strong sense of achievement wells up in our hearts.

Leaving Dongda Mountain Pass, we come to the famous Nujiang 72 - Bend Road. This is an exciting and thrilling road, winding and twisting like a giant dragon in the mountains. Every turn is a challenge, and we need to drive carefully. But when we overlook this spectacular 72 - bend road, we can't help but be impressed by human wisdom and courage.

Finally, we arrive in Basu/Ranwu. Ranwu Lake is like a bright pearl inlaid among the mountains. The lake water is clear and blue, and the surrounding snow - capped mountains and forests are reflected in the water, creating a magnificent picture. Here, we can sit quietly and enjoy the beautiful scenery of the lake and mountains, feeling the peace and beauty of nature.

In the early morning, waking up to the beautiful scenery of Ranwu Lake, we start a new day.

The water of Ranwu Lake sparkles in the sunlight, and the trees on the lake shore sway gently in the breeze. We can take a walk along the lake, enjoying this peaceful and wonderful atmosphere, as if all our worries have been carried away by the lake water.

Leaving Ranwu Lake, we head to Midui Glacier. When we get closer to the glacier, it's like a huge white castle, majestic and grand. The surface of the glacier is covered with cracks and gullies, shining with a blue light in the sunlight. We can hike up the glacier to feel its charm up close. During the climb, we can hear the sound of melting ice, like the heartbeat of nature.

Leaving Midui Glacier, we arrive in Bomi, which is known as the "Jiangnan of Tibet". The scenery here is like a traditional Chinese ink painting. Green mountains and clear waters surround the villages, and the high - altitude barley in the fields sways in the breeze. The distant snow - capped mountains are faintly visible in the clouds. Here, we can feel the unique charm of the combination of the tenderness of the southern water towns and the boldness of the Tibetan plateau.

In the early morning, starting from Bomi, we drive along the beautiful road.

First, we arrive at Guxiang Lake. Guxiang Lake is like a green emerald inlaid among the mountains. The lake water is clear to the bottom, and the surrounding forest is lush. Occasionally, a small boat sails on the lake, creating ripples. Here, we can sit by the lake, quietly enjoying the beautiful scenery of the lake and mountains, feeling the peace and tranquility of nature.

Leaving Guxiang Lake and passing through Tongmai, which used to be a dangerous section on the Sichuan - Tibet Highway, it has now become a smooth passage. The green mountains and clear waters on both sides of the road are pleasing to the eye, as if we are in a beautiful picture.

Then, we reach Lulang, which is known as the "Switzerland of the East". The grassland here is vast, the forest is dense, and the distant snow - capped mountains stretch continuously. Entering Lulang is like stepping into a fairytale world. Here, we can taste the famous Lulang stone - pot chicken and enjoy the delicious food.

After that, we cross Sejila Mountain Pass. When we reach the top of the pass, the beautiful scenery in front of us is amazing. The Namcha Barwa Peak in the distance is faintly visible in the clouds, like a shy girl. The colorful prayer flags flutter in the wind, as if nature is sending blessings.

Finally, we arrive in Nyingchi, which is known as the "Little Jiangnan of Tibet". The climate here is pleasant, and the scenery is beautiful. During the peach - blossom season, the mountains are covered with peach blossoms like a pink ocean, making people intoxicated. Even if it's not the peach - blossom season, the natural scenery in Nyingchi is still magnificent, with green mountains, clear waters, blue sky, and white clouds forming a beautiful picture.

In the early morning, starting from Nyingchi, we head to Basongcuo.

Basongcuo is a beautiful alpine lake. The lake water is green and clear, and the surrounding snow - capped mountains and forests are reflected in the water, like a natural oil painting. We can take a cruise on the lake to enjoy the scenery. There is an island in the middle of the lake, and there is an ancient temple on the island, full of a mysterious atmosphere. Stepping onto the island, we can visit the temple and feel the profoundness of Buddhist culture.

Leaving Basongcuo, we drive along the Lalin Expressway towards Lhasa. The expressway is known as the "Most Beautiful Expressway", and the scenery along the way is breathtaking. Green mountains, clear waters, idyllic landscapes, snow - capped mountains, and grasslands pass by the window one after another, like a visual feast.

As we gradually approach Lhasa, the sacred city seems to be calling us. The Potala Palace in the distance shines with a golden light in the sunlight, like a mysterious palace. Our excitement grows, and we are eager to uncover the mystery of this city.

Waking up in the mysterious and sacred city of Lhasa, welcome the last day of this journey.

Today, we go to Yamdrok Lake. Yamdrok Lake is one of the "Three Holy Lakes in Tibet". The lake water is as blue as a precious gem, shining with a charming light under the sunlight. The lake shoreline is winding, like a blue ribbon around the mountains. When we stand by the lake, the gentle breeze caresses our faces, and the lake water ripples, as if nature is gently touching us. The distant snow - capped mountains and the lake complement each other, creating a magnificent picture.

Here, we can sit quietly by the lake, feeling this peaceful and sacred atmosphere and letting our souls be completely cleansed. We can make good wishes and let this holy lake witness our dreams.

In the afternoon, we return to Lhasa. This city carries a long history and profound cultural heritage. The Potala Palace, Jokhang Temple, and Barkhor Street are all iconic attractions in this city. We can take another stroll on the streets of Lhasa, feeling the unique charm of this city and recalling the wonderful memories of these ten days.

When the afterglow of the setting sun shines on the golden roof of the Potala Palace, this journey from Chengdu to Lhasa comes to a perfect end. But these beautiful memories will always stay in our hearts, becoming a precious treasure in our lives.
