[2025 Yuli Attraction] Travel Guide for Tarim and Taklimakan resort (Updated Apr)

“Natti Loke Anindito - In this world, no one is free from criticism” 🙏 Wat Phra That Si Khot Bong is located on the riverbank in Thakhek, Lao PDR. It is a temple without resident monks, similar to Wat Phra Kaew in Thailand. However, the Lao authorities have arranged for monks from various temples to take turns serving and welcoming devotees who come to pay their respects and seek blessings. 🙏 Main attractions in the temple: - Entrance fee: 5,000 Kip per person (free for monks and novices) - Inside the temple's ordination hall, Lao people continuously come to make merit. - At the Phra That courtyard, you can offer flowers, incense, and candles, walk around the stupa, or meditate. - However, it is advised not to visit in the afternoon as it gets very hot.

“Imina Sakkarena Phutthang Thammang Sanghang Puchemi” 🙏Wat Naposi Phatthanaram - Located on the Lao side - 200 meters from the Laos-Thailand landing and landing port (Khammouane-Nakhon Phanom) 🙏Wat Naposi Phatthanaram is an old temple that was built at the same time as the city was built. It is a temple that is the center of faith of the Lao people. It can be observed that when there is a temple event, there will be a large number of villagers joining the merit-making. The important merit-making events are New Year's Day, Makha Bucha Day, and the end of Buddhist Lent. #triptakesyoutoflyandaskfornewyearblessings #Trip.com #Wat Naposi Phatthanaram Khammouane #TravelingtoLaosbyyourself #ThakhaekKhammouane #LaoPDR #Pleasefollow #DhammaSancharBhikkhu

The Taklamakan Desert in Xinjiang, known as the 'Sea of Death,' hides a miraculous road in its heart—the Tarim Desert Highway, an extraordinary journey that challenges the limits of nature! 🌌 🏁 **The legend of the highway, a lifeline through the sea of sand** 🏁 At 500 kilometers long, it's not the longest, but it is the toughest! This road is not just a pile of asphalt and gravel; it is the crystallization of the wisdom and sweat of nearly 200 brave souls, a victorious flag against nature! 🏆 From Luntai County to Minfeng County, it not only connects the north and south of Xinjiang but also writes a magnificent epic of humanity dancing with nature! 🌱 **A green ribbon, life meanders through the desert** 🌿 Don't be fooled by the monotonous scenery on both sides of the desert highway. The endless sea buckthorn, reeds, and poplar trees act like guardians of life in the desert. From an aerial view, they resemble an emerald necklace set in the yellow sand. 📸 This moment captured from the sky is a miracle of nature and human ingenuity combined! 🚘 **Driving guide: Stay calm, enjoy the solitude** 🚗 The asphalt road is smooth as a mirror, with a speed limit of 80km/h. It seems easy but tests your endurance. A friendly reminder from the police: buckle up, and don't let speeding be a regret on your journey! 🚨 Remember the time points for each segment of the road, watch out for hidden speed traps, and avoid unnecessary stops. ⛽️ **Preparation for departure: Start with a full tank, loaded with hope** 🛢️ The gas station in Luntai County is your energy station. Fill up the tank, and make sure you have enough food and water. Desert gear, sand and sun protection, you can't miss any of it, after all, we're seeking thrills, not the consequences of thrills! ☀️ 📷 **Essentials for check-in, capture the beauty of the desert** 📸 The Tarim Desert Highway's signpost, the 0-kilometer milestone, and that touching phrase 'There is only a desolate desert, not a desolate life,' are all scenes you can't miss through your lens. Don't forget, the poplar forests along the way, they have witnessed the passage of time and are also waiting for your encounter. 🏠 **The water room guardians, a warm station in the desert** 🏡 Every 4 kilometers, the water rooms are the soul supply stations of the desert highway. The silent heroes who guard the road, their stories may be deeper than the desert itself. Stop and chat with them, and you'll discover that the warmth in the desert is more touching than you imagined. Radio silence ≠ communication barrier, bring a walkie-talkie, and even if the signal is not in the service area, you can still keep in touch with your companions, letting laughter and singing become the most beautiful melody in the desert! 🎶

Beautiful Xinjiang The desert smoke rises straight, the long river sun sets round. The desert sunset, human fireworks, the mountains and rivers are vast. May we all be free from the constraints of life, wield our swords and travel the world.
