"Tibet's 'Eastern Switzerland,' breathtakingly beautiful

📍Why Lulang?
"In Tibet, if you miss Lulang, it's like missing the gentlest part of southeastern Tibet!"
Here the altitude is only 3,200 meters, with a low risk of altitude sickness. Snow-capped mountains, forests, pastures, and Tibetan villages intertwine, resembling the Swiss Alps but wilder and purer than Switzerland!

💡 Tips to Avoid Pitfalls

⚠️ Sunscreen! Sunglasses + hat are essential, UV rays are very strong
