National Geographic Wasn't Lying About Nyingchi's Breathtaking Spring Beauty

I just returned from admiring the peach blossoms in Nyingchi 🌸, and I'm so satisfied with my travel plan that I can't sleep! For two consecutive days, I witnessed the rare golden sunrise on Mount Namcha Barwa ⛰️! Driving along National Highway 318 and through the Yarlung Tsangpo Grand Canyon, I discovered the most beautiful peach blossom villages, and visited many lesser-known flower viewing spots. My camera is filled with so many gorgeous photos I can't even post them all 😂, I'm still in Tibet, sharing this fresh travel guide that's worth saving for your trip~ - 👇🏻"Before You Go" 📍Nyingchi's altitude is mostly around ▲3000 meters, except when crossing Sejila Mountain Pass at ▲4728 meters, so altitude sickness is generally manageable ✔️Check the weather forecast in advance, it's usually accurate. On the day, check the specific time to predict the golden sunrise 🌸Peach blossom season: mid to late March through mid-April, with different viewing spots blooming at different times - ♾️"My 5-Day 4-Night Flower Viewing Itinerary" Day1️⃣: Arrive in Milin ➠ Shanze Residence Day2️⃣: Galaga Peach Blossom Village ➠ Sejila Mountain Pass ➠ Lulang Forest ➠ Zaxigang Village ➠ Bomi County Day3️⃣: Bomi (Runa Village ➠ Qingduo Monastery ➠ Baiyu Village ➠ Yuxu Township) ➠ Sejila Mountain Pass ➠ Nyingchi Day4️⃣: Nyingchi ➠ Buddha's Palm Sand Dunes ➠ Yarlung Tsangpo Grand Canyon ➠ Stay in Tunbai Village Day5️⃣: Namcha Barwa Viewing Platform ➠ Yusong Village ➠ Suosong Village ➠ Return - 🌸"Must-Visit Attractions" 1️⃣Galaga Peach Blossom Village 💰30 Rapeseed flowers and peach blossoms in the same frame, many photo spots, viewing platform overlooking the entire peach forest, early blooming season 2️⃣Sejila Mountain Pass Viewing Platform Very close to Mount Namcha Barwa, perfect for viewing the golden sunrise❗️ 3️⃣Lulang Town Forest, pastures, wooden cabins 🏕️, Tibetan dwellings, snow mountains 🏔️, a comfortable pastoral town 4️⃣Bomi From Runa Village to Yuxu Township, fewer tourists as you go further, the best choice for peach blossoms, free entry, you can walk directly into the peach forests for close-up shots~ The rural scenery is also beautiful 5️⃣ Danniang Buddha's Palm Sand Dunes 💰30 Naturally formed sand dunes near the Yarlung Tsangpo River, 180-degree views of snow mountains, spectacular for photos! 6️⃣ Yarlung Tsangpo Grand Canyon 💰150 Peach blossom forests beneath Mount Namcha Barwa, the most lively spot, where you can capture the golden sunrise reflected in the water❗️ - 📸"Photography Tips" ✔️Find sloping peach forests for wide-angle shots, use peach blossoms as foreground with snow mountains as background ✔️Wear at least one bright color, preferably something with ethnic characteristics ✔️Bring small accessories like sunglasses, hats, bracelets 📿, ambient small lights... - ✈️"Transportation Guide" 👇🏻Nyingchi Airport is in Milin, Lhasa Airport is in Gongga. Flying to Lhasa is more economical, then you can drive/take the train to Milin 🚗Self-driving/chartered car/group tour recommended, as attractions are far apart and public transportation is limited
