Travel Tips: 1️⃣ September in Sea West has significant temperature differences between day and night. Pack sunscreen for daytime and a light down jacket for the evening. The high-altitude UV rays are intense 🌞🧥. 2️⃣ Always seek permission before photographing Tibetan villages, turn prayer wheels clockwise, and respect local beliefs 🙏🕌. 3️⃣ Wear solid-colored long dresses at Emerald Lake for stunning photos, and use drones for capturing the mirror-like effect 📸👗. 4️⃣ Supply stations are scarce along the way, so bring your own snacks and water. Drive slowly and avoid honking when encountering yak herds 🐂💧. Feeling inspired? Start your journey now by clicking the card below and embark on a wonderful adventure!
