📍 Traditional Yamdrok Lake Route Check-in:
1⃣ Yamdrok Lake Viewing Platform No.1
🌟 Off-season ticket price is 60 RMB, peak season is 120 RMB. Standing proudly at an altitude marked by a 4998-meter stone stele, it offers a panoramic view of the magnificent Yamdrok Lake. The platform is also adorned with fluttering prayer flags, a paradise for photography lovers.
2⃣ Yamdrok Lake Viewing Platform No.2 (Langbuqi Style Station)
🌟 Parking fee charged per vehicle, altitude 4600 meters, slightly lower than No.1 but the scenery is just as beautiful. Tibetan antelopes, lambs, yaks, and other cute animals await your photo session✨.
3⃣ Yamdrok Lake Viewing Platform No.3 (Yamdrok Yumtso Waterside Spot)
🌟 A must-visit! Reach the lakeside, dance with seagulls, and in the afternoon sunlight (2-4 pm), the lake surface sparkles with golden light, breathtakingly beautiful🌟. We lingered here, children enjoying close contact with the water and seagulls.
