As dusk descends, the Lhasa River in Xizang meanders like a jade ribbon, its banks aglow with a stunning interplay of light and shadow.

Recently, the popular cultural tourism project “Charming Lhasa River” night tour has welcomed an irresistibly cute attraction—a group of delightfully charming yak plush puppets, collectively known as the “Yak Squad.” With their unique plateau-inspired charm and energy, these adorable figures have become a fresh highlight of the immersive night tour, swiftly transforming into a viral photo opportunity eagerly sought after by both locals and tourists.


The “Yak Squad” photo campaign represents an innovative integration of culture and tourism in the Lhasa River night tour project. During the cruise, visitors have the opportunity to engage with yak-themed elements while also enjoying spectacular performances, including thematic dining shows and traditional Tibetan dance.
