Winter in Tibet is mainly about seeing blue glaciers and golden mountains in the sun. So how do you play? 🚗🚗🚗Itinerary options: ✈️✈️✈️DAY1: Fly to Lhasa from all over the country (book tickets for Potala Palace and Jokhang Temple) Why do we need airplanes? ❗❗❗Answer: The direct flight time is short, and you can go directly to the hotel to rest after arriving in Lhasa. After arriving in Lhasa, you can book a diffuse oxygen hotel, order some milk tea and watch some TV series, and go out after you have a good rest. Remember, don't worry, hotels in Tibet are not expensive during the off-season. 🔴DAY2: One-day tour in Lhasa city Attractions→Potala Palace at 10am, came out just in time for lunch at 12pm, took a taxi to Yaowang Mountain for 50 yuan, → took pictures of reflections in the square. After the photo shoot, we returned to the hotel to rest. 🔴DAY3: One-day tour in Lhasa city. Attractions→Pray around the Jokhang Temple, visit the Jokhang Temple, and drink sweet tea on the third floor of Nisangchenbo. 🔵DAY4: Lhasa → National Highway 318 → Suosong Village → Watch the sunset at Nanga Bawa 🔵DAY5: Suosong Village → Sejila Pass → Nanga Bawa → Bomi → Ranwu → Ranwu Lake 🔵DAY6: Ranwu → Laigu Glacier Blue Ice (go in the morning, good photos in the sun) → Bomi 🔵DAY7: Bomi → Nyingchi City → Waiting for sunset by Basongcuo Lake 🔵DAY8: Basongcuo→Lhasa ✈️✈️✈️DAY9: Lhasa → fly to various parts of the country 💒💒💒Hotel accommodation: must have floor heating + diffused oxygen supply + humidifier. Don’t ask why, because Tibet is really not expensive in the off-season. ☑️☑️☑️Vehicle for travel: Toyota Prado and Toyota Land Cruiser (4 passengers per car) are preferred. The origin of Aude's quattro is Toyota, if you don't believe it, go check it out. Team leader configuration: Must have drone + SLR camera. The preferred drones are Mavic 3 and Mavic 3 PRO. The preferred camera is a full-frame camera + a telephoto lens.

I drove about 560 kilometers along the Yarlung Zangbo River in Tibet. For the other 15 kilometers that belong to the paid scenic area, I could only take a sightseeing bus, which cost a total of 240 yuan, of which 90 yuan was the sightseeing bus fee. The paid Yarlung Zangbo River Scenic Area is located in Pai Town, Milin County, Nyingchi Prefecture, and requires a sightseeing bus to visit. The sightseeing bus has 4 stops along the way, which I think is the most disappointing attraction. I was too lazy to take out my camera at these four stops. But Suosong Village on the north bank of the river is very beautiful when the peach blossoms are in full bloom, although I couldn’t see the entire Namjagbarwa Peak due to the weather. This attraction is included in the scenic area, but not included in the sightseeing bus route. This set of photos were all taken in Suosong Village. I believe that on a sunny day, it will be much more beautiful than it is now, and the peach blossoms will also set off Mount Namjagbarwa. In any case, Suosong Village is a place not to be missed when visiting the Yarlung Zangbo River, but it does make me feel a little unbalanced that you have to pay for it. #ChinaTravel #Tibet #Nyingchi #Yarlung Zangbo River #Mountain #Nangabawa Peak #Peach Blossom #Natural Journey #Natural Beauty

Namchabarwa is the highest mountain in Nyingchi City, Tibet, peak at 7,782 meters, and has the title of Father of Tibetan Mountains. The body of Nanga Bawa is covered with snow all year round and the clouds are lingering. It never reveals its true face easily, so it is also called Shy Girl Mountain in Chinese. We were really lucky this time. In the evening, the mountain peaks were still clouded and misty. When the sun set at 8:07 pm in the evening, all the clouds and mist were dispersed. We even saw the magnificent sight of that the golden sun shines on the mountain. It is said that this mountain range is like a girl lying down, from right to left are her head, chest and feet. The best view point is in Suosong Village in the Yarlung Zangbo River Gorge. There is a milk tea shop in the village. We just drank milk tea and watched all the mountains exposed. It was so shocking! #summervacation

Why must you bring your kids to Nyingchi this summer?

Nyingchi uses snowy mountains as classrooms, Tibetan villages as classrooms, and sea of clouds as curtains, creating a growth ceremony that touches the sky for families—this is the core value promoted by experts: making every moment in Nyingchi an unforgettable fairy tale highlight in children’s memories.

You can view Mount Namcha Barwa from Zhibai Village and Sosong Village, and enjoy the canyon scenery and beautiful Tibetan villages. - Lulang Forest Sea: A typical narrow strip of plateau mountain meadow, with shrubs and dense forests on both sides of the green mountains and meadows in the middle. Wildflowers bloom from April to June every year, making the scenery picturesque. - Basum Tso: Tibet's first national 5A-level natural scenic area, a sacred lake of the Nyingma (Red Hat) sect of Tibetan Buddhism. There is Zhaxi Island in the center of the lake with Cuozonggongba Temple on the island, and the "Child-Seeking Cave" on the south bank. - Nanyi Valley: Also known as Medicine King Valley, it has well-preserved natural primeval forests. You can take an eco-friendly sightseeing bus to tour and learn about Lhoba culture. - Kading Valley: Located on the banks of the Nyang River, with ancient trees towering in the valley and uniquely shaped cliffs on both sides of the canyon, featuring attractions like the Sky Buddha Waterfall. - Benri Sacred Mountain: The foremost of the four sacred mountains of Bon religion. The scenic area offers a grand and expansive view of rivers converging, making it a great place to experience southeastern Tibetan culture. Food Recommendations - Lulang Stone Pot Chicken: Cooked in a Motuo stone pot, slow-cooked with Tibetan fragrant chicken, gastrodia elata, finger ginseng, and other medicinal herbs and fungi. The soup is delicious, and the chicken is tender. - Roasted Tibetan Fragrant Pork: A unique pig breed from the plateau, with tender meat and thin skin. Slow-roasted over charcoal after marination, the skin is crispy and thin, and the meat is tender and juicy. - Tibetan Steamed Buns: Made with white flour as the wrapper, mutton as the main ingredient, with lamb suet and other seasonings. Steamed until cooked, it is oily but not greasy. - Butter Honey: A mixture of butter and honey, sweet and rich in nutrients. - Nyingchi Peach Blossom Wine: Brewed with wild peach blossoms, sweet and refreshing, with a peach blossom aroma. Accommodation Guide - Nyingchi City Center: Such as Anlika Hotel, Jinjiang Inn, etc., offering convenient transportation and complete facilities. - Lulang International Tourist Town: Such as Lulang Jiru Kang Homestay, Nanfeng Boutique Hotel, etc., where you can experience Tibetan style and enjoy the surrounding scenery. - Villages around scenic spots: Such as homestays in Sosong Village and Zhibai Village, allowing close-up views of Mount Namcha Barwa.

You can also drive along the Sichuan-Tibet Highway or take a shuttle bus from Lhasa to Nyingchi. - Internal Transportation: Attractions within Nyingchi are relatively scattered, so it is recommended to charter a car or rent a car. Some attractions are accessible by shuttle bus, for example, there are shuttle buses from Bayi Town to the Yarlung Tsangpo Grand Canyon. Notes - Nyingchi has an average altitude of about 3000 meters, so you still need to prevent altitude sickness, avoid strenuous exercise, and prepare relevant medications in advance. - The local day-night temperature difference is large, so warm clothing is required. May to September is the rainy season, and roads are prone to landslides and other disasters, so pay attention to weather and road conditions before traveling.

A tropical wonder below the snow line. Originally seeking the last lotus sanctuary in Tibet, I instead encountered phoenix flowers blazing like a dimensional breakthrough in the heart of the Yarlung Tsangpo Grand Canyon! Thousand-year-old banyan trees drape their aerial roots like curtains, vibrant red kapok and milky wild orchids float in the mist. Tropical flower cascades pour from the 7,782-meter Namcha Barwa peak to the 800-meter canyon floor. This vertical 2,000-meter floral spectacle resembles jewels scattered during a goddess's toilette. 🌸 Highlights Latitude paradox: Snow-capped silver peaks, rainforest emerald screens, and fiery flower cascades in one frame—the most magical inverted vegetation phenomenon at 29° North! Hidden viewpoints: ①Guoguotang serpentine bend observation deck, where kapok flowers lick the jade river surface like tongues of flame ②Renqin Peng secret path, capturing the cross-latitude dialogue between alpine rhododendrons and tropical bananas in the elevation fault zone Light and shadow bonus: "Rainbow meets waterfall" performs daily at 15:00-17:00 in Beibeng Township (May-September), as sunlight penetrates the mist at Duoxiongla Mountain pass, creating a seven-colored light bridge plunging into Gelin Village's thousand-year-old tea gardens. 📍 Survival Tips Location: Medog County, Nyingchi City, Tibet (China's last county to get highway access) Flowering season: Low elevation areas April-May (peak phoenix flower season), high elevation areas June-July (green poppy blooming season) Survival route guide: ▫️Bomi Zhamu Town → Galongla Tunnel (life-or-death boundary) → 52 hairpin turns + 30 water crossings, only 4WD vehicles permitted during daylight ▫️Hikers need border permits, leech-proof gaiters + satellite phones, recommended to follow local Menba guides ▫️Daily limit of 300 people, secure access codes two weeks in advance via "Medog Tourism" WeChat official account 📸 Extreme Photography Guide 1.

Sacred mountain revelation: Stake out Suosong Village cliff at dawn, waiting for the moment Namcha Barwa peak parts the clouds, letting golden light from the snow-capped summit ignite the flower sea below Finale: Extreme geographical folding, an experience limited to the brave! From May to July, a duet of fire and ice unfolds—wear short sleeves by day to admire phoenix flowers burning the river, bundle in down jackets by night to watch alpine rhododendrons kiss the snow.
