Tibet
During my trip to Tibet, the most interesting part was the southern Tibet region. This is not only the birthplace of Tibetan culture, but also has many magnificent natural sceneries. I started from Lhasa and passed through grasslands, snow-capped mountains and lakes.
1. Zhegu Grassland
Zhegu Grassland is located in Cuomei County, Shannan City, Tibet, with an average altitude of about 4,600 meters. Here the sky is high, the clouds are clear, the grasslands are vast, the snow-capped mountains are rolling, and the animals are numerous, all showing the beauty of nature.

2. Kulagangri Mountain
Kulagangri is known as one of the "Four Sacred Mountains" in central Tibet. At an altitude of 7538 meters, it stands on the main ridgeline of the middle section of the Himalayas. The entire snow-capped mountain consists of three peaks. There are 6 peaks above 7000 meters standing next to Kula Gangri. Looking from a distance, the peaks stand side by side, like a barrier of ice and snow that towers over the sky and the earth.

Pumoyongcuo is a freshwater lake in the Himalayas. Its water source comes from the melted snow of the Kula Gangri Snow Mountain in the southern mountainous area. The huge lake is surrounded by mountains and is known as the "Tear of the Fairy". The scenery is picturesque.
