Nyingchi Basongcuo, Tibet｜This seriously underrated autumn scenic spot is now legendary!

Ah, sisters! This time in Nyingchi, I discovered an absolutely amazing hidden treasure! 😱

💫 This is Basongcuo Scenic Area, Tibet’s first national 5A-level tourist attraction! At an altitude of 3,480 meters, it’s beautiful all year round, but autumn is definitely its peak beauty 🍂

📍 Address: Cuogao Township, Gongbujiangda County, Nyingchi City, Tibet
⏰ Opening hours: 8:00 AM - 6:30 PM

This is really not a filter! The lake water turns a super dreamy Tiffany blue 💙 in this season, reflecting the golden larch leaves, as if God spilled a palette of colors 🎨

📸 Photo tips:
✅ Best time: 7-9 AM (misty and ethereal)
✅ Outfit recommendation: red dress or white sweater (perfect match with autumn scenery!)
✅ Must-do: take a boat tour on the lake (ticket 120 RMB/person), and experience 360° unobstructed autumn views on the island in the lake

✨ Hidden gems:
1️⃣ Stroll along the wooden boardwalk by the lake, stepping on a thick carpet of pine needles 🌲
2️⃣ Snow-capped mountains faintly visible under the sunlight, sapphire-like lake water sparkling ✨
3️⃣ Chance encounters with wild squirrels and Tibetan fragrant pigs, super cute 🐿️

Most importantly, there aren’t many people! No need to worry about crowds in your photos, you can shoot to your heart’s content~ (As this blogger says: rounding up means you basically have the whole lake area to yourself)

🚗 Transportation:
1️⃣ 1-hour self-drive from Nyingchi city (car rental 200-300 RMB/day)
2️⃣ One-day chartered car tour (about 500 RMB)
3️⃣ You can also join local tours, which include guides and tickets for convenience

This autumn, you must come experience Tibet’s lesser-known fairyland! Missing it means waiting until next year~ Hurry and check it out before too many people discover it! 🌟

Quick travel tips:
✔️ Bring a down jacket for big temperature differences
