At an altitude of 5,300 meters in Ngari, I understood the true meaning of travel

Folks, Ngari—the Tibet of Tibet—is a place you'll truly regret not visiting!🏔
Here, snow-capped mountains are so sharp they could slice through clouds, glaciers glow blue like frozen time, and lakes mirror the Milky Way. When our wheels got stuck in permafrost at 5,300 meters in the uninhabited zone, even the wind sounded lonely.
But in this vastness, I finally grasped why they call it "Ngari in the heavens." Overwhelmed by life's pressures, I chose to pause here. Gazing at the breathtaking landscapes and distant snow peaks felt like receiving a silent, gentle power that recharged me completely🔋
Ngari isn't about conquest—it's about standing between heaven and earth, discovering how fragility can birth strength. While nature's power here was unforgettable, my surprise came later at the Lhasa hotel during my return trip.
I stayed at Shangli Sunshine·Richell Oxygen Hotel. Its Tibetan-style lobby features traditional murals, while minimalist rooms come with AC and oxygen supply.
🛏Room highlights:
Diffused oxygen + AC + humidifier—this trio yanked me from freezer mode back to warmth🔥
Free medical-grade oxygen concentrator by the bed! Watching favorite movies via projector with Potala Palace night views outside🌌
🍳Breakfast bliss:
Fresh Chinese breakfast🍜 with fruits left me energized all morning🩸
The Tibetan lobby has Instagrammable spots—dress in complimentary traditional outfits for gorgeous photos😊
🚗Premium services:
✅ Parking included (no extra fees for road-trippers)🧳
✅ Shuttle service (drivers wait with signs 30 mins early—book ahead)🚘
