Highland Shock! Ganzi is Absolutely Stunning

️ Just returned from Ganzi, and here’s the detailed review I promised you all～

Honestly, I’ve always had a romanticized view of Tibet, but Ganzi completely blew my expectations away! This wasn’t just a trip—it was a soul-stirring experience!

⚠️ Important Tips | Must-Read for First-Timers
▫️ Altitude sickness is no joke 😵
▫️ Always carry an oxygen canister (25 RMB each)
▫️ Be cautious with Tibetan food! Yak meat is tough on digestion, so proceed with caution 😅
▫️ Temperature swings of 20°C between day and night—bring your down jacket!

✨ Ultimate Recommendations | Places You Can’t Miss
【Yading】 Absolutely breathtaking!! A 7-hour hike is nothing when you see the snow-capped mountains gradually turn crimson under the sunlight—every bit of exhaustion is worth it ✨

【Danba Tibetan Village】 Stepping in feels like time travel. The Tibetan houses cling to the mountainside, and every shot with a tripod is wallpaper-worthy. Best part? Almost no crowds, so no queues!

【Baiyu Monastery】 Hearing the lamas chant at dawn will give you goosebumps! The air is filled with the aroma of butter tea, stirring emotions you didn’t know you had (You *have* to go! 😭)

🌟 Practical Guide | Foolproof Tips
🚌 Transport: 8-hour direct ride from Chengdu, private car for 2000 RMB/5 days
🏠 Accommodation: Tibetan homestays from 150 RMB (opt for oxygen-equipped ones)
🍜 Food: Must-try Tibetan hotpot! (But skip if you have a weak stomach)

‼️ Lessons Learned | Avoid These Pitfalls
✖️ Don’t take shortcuts for sunrise views—a fall at high altitude can be deadly
✖️ Most jewelry sold by locals is fake (tears 💸)
✖️ Don’t rush to take photos with wild deer (they bite!)

💫 Soul-Stirring Moments | For You Who’ve Read This Far

Standing on a 4000-meter-high grassland, gazing at distant snow-capped mountains... I suddenly understood why people say Tibet purifies the soul. Every turn, every cloud, seems to whisper untold stories.

One day, an elderly Tibetan woman spinning a prayer wheel touched my frostbitten hands and gave me a piece of butter candy. We didn’t share a language, but her smile warmed me all day. 💕

Here, every blade of grass and tree whispers: Life can be this simple, yet this profound.
