🚗 Escape the Crowds at Yamdrok Lake: The Ultimate Guide!

After driving across China and seeing countless lakes, Yamdrok’s blue still blew my mind 💙. Nestled beneath snow-capped peaks, this sacred lake is just 1.5 hours from Lhasa—but with so many viewpoints, where should you go? Skip the tourist traps and hit these 3 FREE, photogenic spots instead! 📍 Perfect Route: 1️⃣ Langbuqi Viewpoint (Free!) Skip the paid top deck—hike down for epic aerial shots of the lake. Photo ops: Prayer flag walls + yaks 🐂. 2️⃣ Yamdrok Parking Lot : Labadunzhu Store) Free entry/parking. Best for: Lakes + mountain backdrops, roadside car pics 🚗. 3️⃣ Viewpoint #4 (: Kutu Star Camp) Free, with seagulls + yaks. Bonus: A 318 highway sign (¥10 to snap) + scenic bench shots. 🍽️ Must-Eat in Lhasa: "Secrets of the Plateau" Restaurant ✔ Window seats face Potala Palace! ✔ Order these: Kung Pao Yak Cubes 🔥 Himalayan Grilled Lamb Chops 🍖 Tibetan Yak & Potato Stew Mushroom Yak Liver Soup (Book window seats in advance!) 🏠 Stay Smart: ✔ Central Lhasa or near Potala Palace. 🚶‍♂️ 2-Day Lhasa Side Trip: Day 1: Zhaxi Lhakhang → Potala → Jokhang → Barkhor → "Lhasa Grassland" photo spot → Princess Wencheng Show at night.
