: How to get to Namco
1. Autopilot
Generally, the bus from Lhasa to Namco is G 109, which is 220km one way. It takes about five hours because of the speed limit. G 109 is the main artery of Tibet's material transportation. There are often temporary inspections on the roadside, and there are many vehicles and narrow roads, which are easy to cause traffic jams.
Tips:
When you travel to Namco, you must catch up with the rainy season from June to September every year. From 65438+ 10 to 165438+ 10, Namco will be impassable due to heavy snow. June+10-May, 5438 was cold and dry, so it was not suitable for entering the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. On the way from Lhasa to Namtso, you have to climb the mountain pass with an altitude of 5190 mm. The mountain pass is covered with snow all year round and the temperature is very low. No matter what the weather is like in Lhasa, you must wear thicker clothes when you go to Namco. If you want to spend the night, you'd better take a down jacket.
2. Charter/carpool
Prices can be divided into peak season and model. The price of SUVs in five cities ranges from 800- 1500/ day. Youth hostels, hotel receptions and major travel agencies all have relevant business consultation and handling.
3. Shuttle bus
From the passenger station in the eastern suburb of Lhasa, there is an inter-county shuttle bus to Dangxiong every day. However, after arriving in Dangxiong, there is a 60KM scenic road, which can only be chartered by local people near Dangxiong bus station. The price is about one-way 500 yuan/car.
4. Travel agencies
The per capita price of most travel agencies in Namco is lower than that of chartered car/carpool, which does not involve compulsory consumption and is relatively safe and worry-free. However, when choosing, we should pay attention to the relevant qualifications of travel agencies to avoid being deceived.

Stay by the lake.
The conditions are a bit difficult, mostly tents and simple rooms, basically open-air toilets, and there is no independent doorman. The number of beds is about 40 yuan/person, and it will rise to 80 yuan/person in peak season, usually 4-5 people.

How to play Namco
1, Namco watches the stars and the sunrise.
In the case of relatively abundant time, in order to avoid superficial punching in to visit the holy lake and prevent the changeable weather in the holy lake from affecting the travel mood, spending the night in Namco is the best choice.
Stay by the lake, catch the sunset in the evening and watch the afterglow of the sunset sprinkle on the holy lake; Chasing the stars at night and watching the Milky Way decorate the sky. In Tibetan Buddhism, Namtso has become the Dojo of King Kong's victory. On the shore and on the island, you can see countless colorful prayer flags fluttering in the wind, Mani piles filled with six-character mantra and Buddhist temples written in Sanskrit, all of which make this blue lake sacred. Whenever night falls, the sound of carving Mani stone can be heard on the island and in temples. In the quiet and peaceful morning, I woke up with the holy water of the plateau. Lake Namco and sky blue complement each other, white clouds are floating on the lake, and the sunrise gradually appears. Intoxicating colors and auras are irresistible.
The next day, after watching the sunrise in Namco, we will pass the Kuonggangri iceberg and Yangbajing, which are 0/50 km away from Lhasa/KLOC. By the way, you can punch in the glaciers and hot springs at an altitude of 5,000m and feel the rich experience brought by extremely cold glaciers and hot springs. It is the best choice to pursue a sense of travel.
Stop at the edge of the glacier and look out. The sky is blue, the clouds are white and the glaciers are white and blue. The combination of colors not only makes people feel surprised, but also feels a boundless tranquility.
Qionggangri Glacier is the closest glacier scenic spot to Lhasa, with snow all year round. The scenic spot provides snow cover, trekking poles and other equipment. You can enjoy glaciers, play with snow, and even climb dozens of meters of snow-capped mountains to experience the fun of climbing mountains.
The number of hot springs in Tibet Plateau ranks first in China. Yang Jing has a large fountain, which is the highest hot spring in China, as well as rare erupting springs and intermittent hot springs, with a total area of more than 7,000 square meters. Hot springs are rich in minerals, and bathing can treat many diseases. The hot Yangbajing steam field is surrounded by snow-capped mountains. This perfect combination constitutes a fascinating natural wonder on the roof of the world.
The plateau area consumes a lot of oxygen, so be careful not to do too much exercise when soaking in hot springs to avoid physical exhaustion. In addition, it is best to go to the hot springs when returning to Namco, otherwise you will miss the night view of Namco, and the physical exertion during the hot springs may aggravate Namco's altitude sickness.

2. Scenic spots around Namco
Icon Tianmen
Shengtianmen is located in Village 5, Qinglong Township, Bango County, Naqu Prefecture, Tibet, on Chadolangka Island in the north of Namco. Legend has it that in the 8th century AD, Master Lotus Peanut was invited by King Chisong Dêzain of Tibet to surrender Nyainqentanglha, betrothed Namtso to Nyainqentanglha, and held a grand wedding on Chadolanka Island. The night before the wedding, 108 God spent one night building a stone gate. Shimen is icon-shaped from northeast to southwest. People call this stone gate the gate of the icon. Looking down at the water and looking up at the sky here, whether it's between sunset or the outside world, it's like entering the end of the world.
Zhaxi Peninsula
Tashi Peninsula, also known as Auspicious Love Island, is the largest peninsula in Namco. Buddhists think it is the embodiment of Five Dhyani Buddhas. There is Tashi Temple on the island, and pilgrims are in an endless stream. There are also many secluded caves on the island. Due to long-term erosion by lake water, the cave is covered with stalactites, forming a unique karst landform. It is a miracle that this island has such strange, colorful and ingenious terrain. 5 yuan management fee is required to enter Tashi Island.

It is said that Namtso is the daughter of Indra Tian and the wife of Nyainqentanglha Mountain, which is the head of the northern gods and occupies a vast territory, sky and wealth in the north. Namco lies on his back in the embrace of Nyainqentanglha Mountain, presenting a beautiful picture of mountains and rivers.
Nagenla
On the way from Lhasa to Namtso, we have to climb Nagenla Mountain at an altitude of 5 190m m. The temperature at the mountain pass is very low and there is snow all year round. At the mountain pass, you can overlook the panoramic view of Namtso. In the hearts of Tibetans, every mountain pass is a sacred place. Therefore, Nagenla Mountain is also covered with colorful golden flags.
Tips:
Namco in the usual sense has been replaced by Tashi Peninsula in Dangxiong County. Zhaxi Peninsula is the largest peninsula in Namco and the most important scenic spot to visit Namco. Most tourists leave Lhasa for a day trip to Tashi Peninsula. Since the round trip from Lhasa to Namco is more than 500 kilometers, the speed limit of kilometers is strict, and it takes about 5 hours for one way on the road, so if you want to get back to Lhasa on the same day, you can only stay in Namco for two hours at most. It is worth noting that the weather in Namco area is unpredictable. If you catch up with the cloudy day, it will greatly affect the play experience, so you need to be mentally prepared in advance.
3. Tibet photography must be experienced.
Tibetan culture is profound and has a long history. It embodies the wisdom of Tibetan people for thousands of years and is an important part of Chinese excellent traditional culture. Clothing culture is an important aspect of Tibetan culture, and its unique artistic form and expression are amazing.
Tibetan robes are the most common clothing. Urban residents like to use high-grade wool as Tibetan robes, and agricultural and pastoral areas use fur. The belt is indispensable in Tibetan clothes. In addition to belts, the ethnic codes of Tibetan women in Tibet are also very distinctive. In addition, Tibetans also like to wear hats, mostly felt hats, leather hats and golden flower hats, while the shoes worn by Tibetans are called Tibetan boots. Tibetan ornaments are mainly hair ornaments, earrings, chest ornaments, waist ornaments and hand ornaments.
When you come to the holy lake, you will put on gorgeous Tibetan costumes, pose in several pots, and then taste refreshing highland barley wine, mellow butter tea and authentic yak meat. Even in a foreign land, you will feel the warmth of home, which will definitely add a different experience to your trip to Tibet.
Tibetan clothes can be rented in Namco by mistake, but the price is too high and it is easy to be cheated. It is recommended to choose the Tibetan clothing experience project of the travel agency, which is more worry-free and has a large choice space.
