So beautiful it brings tears! I really can't allow anyone to have not visited Putuo Sacred Mountain!

Dear friends, today I’m going to wildly recommend an absolutely stunning hidden gem—Sapu Sacred Mountain! This place is truly a paradise on earth, so beautiful it makes you question life! 🌟 🏔️【Attractions】 Sapu Sacred Mountain is located in Yangxiu Township, Biru County, Nagqu City, Tibet Autonomous Region. It combines snow-capped mountains, sacred lakes, glaciers, and golden sunlight on the peaks—truly a gift from nature! 🌈【Must-Visit Spots】 👉Putuo Sacred Mountain: The sacred lake and glacier are breathtaking, standing here for thousands of years, surrounded by skirt-like mountains, every frame is wallpaper-worthy. 👉Mount Everest: Pure and flawless golden sunlight on the peak plus the starry Milky Way, known as the "Roof of the World," incredibly stunning! 👉Potala Palace: A palace complex at a very high altitude and grand scale, the place closest to heaven. 👉Yamdrok Lake: Like a bright pearl embedded in the Tibetan Plateau, here you can find a hundred shades of blue. ⏰【Best Travel Season】 May to October is the best time to visit Sapu Sacred Mountain. The weather is clear, the scenery is gorgeous, perfect for hiking and photography. ⏰【Recommended Visit Duration】 Recommended visit time is 2-6 hours. If you have enough time, you can spend a whole day slowly enjoying the beautiful scenery here. ✉️【Travel Tips】 1️⃣ The scenery of Sapu Sacred Mountain depends heavily on the weather, so be sure to check the weather forecast in advance to ensure you see the most beautiful views. 2️⃣ Sapu Lake is at an altitude of 5,000 meters. Due to the high altitude, prepare oxygen tanks before traveling to prevent altitude sickness. 3️⃣ The temperature difference in the plateau area is large, so be sure to bring warm clothes and jackets. 4️⃣ Some road sections are in poor condition, so it is not recommended for beginners to drive by themselves. You can choose to rent a car with a driver or carpool. 🌈【Trip Highlights】 👉Drone fixed-point aerial photography to overlook the stunning scenery of Sapu Sacred Mountain from the sky. 👉Incredible starry sky photography—lie by the lake at night and gaze at the star-filled sky, incredibly romantic. Dear friends, the beauty of Sapu Sacred Mountain really cannot be described in words. If you haven’t been yet, be sure to add it to your travel list! 🚗🌟
