From Tangke to Sertar: A Soul-Stirring Pilgrimage Through Tibetan Lands

🚗 Route: Chengdu → Tangke → Sertar This journey is a visual and spiritual double whammy! From the gentle curves of the First Bend of the Yellow River to the breathtaking red sea of Sertar, every frame is like a movie scene📽️ 1️⃣ Tangke · First Bend of the Yellow River 🌅 At sunset, the Yellow River carves perfect arcs across the grassland, bathing the valley in golden light—a drone's-eye view is absolutely breathtaking! Don’t forget a windproof jacket; the plateau winds are fierce💨 📸 Tips: Arrive an hour before sunset to secure a spot. Tibetan costume rentals (¥50/person) at the entrance make for incredibly atmospheric photos~ 2️⃣ Sertar · The Red Buddhist Kingdom 🔴 Countless crimson houses blanket the mountainside. At dawn or dusk, when mist swirls around, it feels like a fairyland☁️ Listening to the monks chanting purifies the soul in an instant✨ ⚠️ Heads up: • Sertar sits at 4,000+ meters—bring oxygen! I packed glucose injections, and they really helped💉 • Sky burials are best observed from afar (respect local customs). The distant hills offer a solemn, awe-inspiring view🌫️ 3️⃣ Must-Try Foods 🍜 Tibetan yogurt: So thick you can pull strings—perfect with sugar! 🍖 Yak meat hotpot: Broth so rich it’ll blow your mind, and just ¥60/person for a feast~ 4️⃣ Stay Recommendation Larong Hotel in Sertar: Dated but unbeatable location, with red houses right outside your window🌇 💬 Real Talk: "Under Sertar’s starry sky, I finally understood the power of faith."🌌 This route is for anyone craving escape and self-discovery~ #TangkeTravel #SertarRedHouses #TibetanGuide #PlateauRoadTrip #SoulJourney #YellowRiverBend #SkyBurialCulture #PhotographySpots #TravelVlog 👇 Drop your route questions below!
