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.

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

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.

Seasonally speaking, in early to mid-April, you can see the blooming peach blossoms in Suosong Village, which is over 2,900 meters above sea level. With the distant view of the 5,000-meter-high Nanga Parbat, it is a world-class beauty that is definitely worth visiting. These photos were taken by me every spring since 2014. In autumn, late October to November, Nanga Parbat is more likely to be visible, and the starry sky and moonrise are excellent scenes, making it very worth visiting. The prerequisite is that it is best to stay for more than two days, because Nyingchi is often cloudy and foggy, and it takes two days to encounter a sunny day, a sunrise, and a sunset over the golden mountains. However, because there are only twenty or so indigenous households in Suosong Village, and the homestead is limited, accommodation resources are very scarce. From the extremely poor accommodation environment of CNY 100/person in 2013, it has developed to the point where a room costs CNY 1,000–2,000 or even more per night during the peak season, and some even cost CNY 6,000–7,000/room/day. Like other scenic spots in the world, the most important thing to enjoy the world-class spring scenery of Suosong Village is money. If you don't have a budget of about CNY 3,000/person/day, you will suffer a lot. Some Nyingchi three-day tours charge you a total of CNY 1,200 for three days, which is actually less than half of the cost of transportation + accommodation + tickets. The purpose is to take you to as many shopping stores as possible in one day, and even the toilets are a scam. Under the guise of poverty alleviation, they bet that you will buy Tibetan silver, maca, fritillary, and other Tibetan medicines in order to extract high commissions exceeding 50%. A friend bought a Tibetan silver belt and a water cup for more than CNY 6,000. If you just don't buy it, you will eat pig food and live in dirty and messy rooms. Instead, spend a little more money and stay in Suosong Village for one or even two nights.
