Lhasa - Kuoxiong Gangri Glacier - Lhasa
In the morning, you will depart from Lhasa and drive along Duilong Avenue on G109 to the world's only highest-altitude scenic area accessible by vehicle—Kuoqionggangri Glacier Park. Along the way, you will visit Yangbajing Monastery of the Karma Kagyu school. Yangbajing Monastery is the main monastery of the Red Hat lineage of Tibetan Buddhism's Karma Kagyu school, with a long history and rich religious culture.
After visiting Yangbajing Monastery, you will continue onward. After about 30 minutes of driving, you will arrive at Kuoqionggangri Glacier Park. Kuoqionggangri Glacier Park integrates glaciers, lakes, and meadows, making it a unique natural ecological tourism area. Here you can enjoy magnificent snow scenery and experience a high-altitude holy land of snow. The park features a winding scenic corridor ascending the mountain with broad views, where you can admire the wonders of Luodui Peak and surrounding snow mountains in the Kuoqionggangri Glacier area along the way (about 1 hour 30 minutes of sightseeing).
After leaving Kuoqionggangri Glacier Scenic Area and taking a short rest, you will drive back to Lhasa. (You may optionally join the Blue Heaven Hot Spring Scenic Area at your own expense. Located at No. 6 Zhongni Road, Yangbajing Town, Damxung County, Lhasa, Tibet, 98 kilometers from Potala Palace in Lhasa and 92 kilometers from Namtso Scenic Area, it is the most fully equipped and largest hot spring scenic area in Lhasa, with an elegant environment, integrating hot springs, accommodation, dining, conferences, and leisure entertainment, built to five-star standards.)
On the return journey, you will also pass the beautiful Qiziguo Grassland, a rarely visited resting place with little local traffic. You can take road photos under safe conditions and participate in entertainment activities such as feeding marmots. Afterwards, you will arrive in Lhasa.
