High altitude, lack of oxygen, and cold are no longer obstacles for people to travel in Tibet. The roads leading in all directions and flights all over the country, even in the cold winter, still can't stop the heart of traveling to Tibet.
On this plateau, there are dotted lakes, towering glaciers, and an uninhabited animal paradise.
No matter how much scenery you have seen in summer, Tibet in winter is a different scene.

When you come to Tibet, it must be the biggest regret in the itinerary without looking at the lake or the mountains.
Countless lakes have their own myths and legends, and have a unique appearance.
As a water tower in Asia, the number and reserves of glaciers in Tibet rank among the top in the country.

Namtso, Manasarovar, and Yamdrok (also known as Yanghu) are also known as the three "holy lakes"
in Tibet. These three lakes are the must-see places for most tourists and believers.
Namtso and Yangzhuoyongcuo are relatively close to the urban area of Lhasa and can be commuted on the same day. They should be regarded as the two lakes with the largest number of tourists.

Namtso is the second largest lake in Tibet, located at the junction of Damxiong County in Lhasa City and Bango County in Nagqu City.
In addition to the myths and legends with their own halo, the natural scenery is also absolutely beautiful, especially the holy elephant Tianmen.

Yamdrok Yongcuo, which means "Jasper Lake" in Tibetan, is a plateau saltwater lake, but there are also many fish.
Overlooking from the plane from Lhasa to Ali, the lake is blue, like a tattoo of the earth.

There is also Manasang Yongcuo in Ngari, western Tibet, which is nestled with the sacred mountain of Gang Rinpoche.
This lake is regarded as the object of worship by Tibetan Buddhism, Hinduism and other religions.
From the satellite map, it looks like a heart.

Sijin Lacuo, dozens of kilometers away from Lhasa, is the local "God of Wealth Lake", attracting businessmen and blessing people to worship.
Especially in summer, people often turn to the lake to pray for blessings.

普姆雍错被众多网友赞为“中国的贝加尔湖”，每年冬季例行的回归湖心岛冬季牧场最引人关注。牧民们小心翼翼赶着羊群穿过结冰湖面到达湖心岛牧场，场面十分壮观。崖壁上有座寺庙，像是守护着这片湖泊。

然乌湖地处藏东昌都市，紧邻着川藏公路，是很多自驾游客常去的地方。与三大圣湖不一样，这片湖泊四周环绕着高山、森林，游玩体验完全不同。

说完了湖泊，我们来看看冰川。
萨普冰川应该是这两年西藏旅游热词，它地处藏北那曲市比如县，这里也盛产虫草。无论是夏季还是冬季，都值得去游览探险。

普若岗日冰川同样地处藏北那曲，曾被誉为世界第三大冰川。因为保护需要，自2018年6月暂停接待游客了。这里也曾是多个国家重要的科考对象。

康布冰川位于山南市，当天可往返拉萨市区，虽然不及来古冰川名气大，但绝对是去了还想再去的地方。

西藏高寒缺氧，地广人稀，但却是动物的乐园。
在羌塘腹地生活的藏羚羊，仅在那曲范围内约有15万只。通过保护，藏羚羊数量不断增长。中国对藏羚羊保护等级已从“濒危物种”降级为“近危物种”。

金丝野牦牛高达凶猛，不可近身，通俗比较，体积能与大家常见的小轿车相比。作为特殊物种被列为国家一级保护动物，阿里地区2020年统计，金丝野牦牛种群数量达到200余只。
作为国家级保护动物也常常让牧民们苦恼，只常听牧民们说，野牦牛与家牦牛交配生仔后，小牦牛带着野性留不住，白白受损失。

出没于草原的棕熊，憨态可掬，不过常常造访牧民家里搞破坏。破门翻箱倒柜，驾轻就熟一般。因为是国家保护动物自带光环，牧民只能躲着它。幸好，当地有野生动物肇事补偿，能挽回损失。

随着生态保护提升，野生动物种群数量不断增加，自驾在西藏的公路上，也常能看到这些小动物们。
高海拔稀释着这里的氧气，却稀释不了外界对这里向往的热情。
带着热情收获美景的同时，也希望大家能够带着一份小心翼翼，高原脆弱生态环境的保护不仅需要当地人的保护，也需要大家的一份努力。
愿美景长存，且行且珍惜！
