Those who know Tibet will never miss the autumn in Nyingchi.
🧐From late September each year, Nyingchi, known as the "Jiangnan of Tibet", enters the golden period of autumn. Yellow, red, purple and other colors, like the strokes of a painter, slowly dye the slopes, forests, rivers, lakes and snow-capped mountains of Nyingchi, making the whole Nyingchi more charming. This visual feast will last until mid-to-late November, and the nearly 50-day "Golden Nyingchi" is really not to be missed!
🎈There are many beautiful places in Nyingchi in autumn and winter:
🌟【Basum Lake】This is a famous sacred lake of Tibetan Buddhism, praised as the "turquoise fallen into the world". There are many attractions in the scenic area, such as Lake Island, Cuozong Temple, Jieba Village, Cuogao Village, Xin Lake, Zhong Lake, etc. Autumn is the best season to watch Basum Lake. The sky is high and the air is refreshing. From the lake bank to the mountain ridge, it is like a palette overturned by nature. The forest is dyed and the environment is quiet.
🌟【Namjagbarwa Peak】This is the most representative and highest peak in Nyingchi. The best places to watch Namjagbarwa Peak are Sejila Mountain Pass and Suosong Village in Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon. The best viewing season is from October to April of the following year. At this time, there is less rainfall, the air is dry, the visibility is high, and you can see its most beautiful appearance, especially when the sun shines on the mountain.
🌟【Midui Glacier】It is the lowest glacier in the world and has been rated as one of the six most beautiful glaciers in China by "China National Geographic". The ancient ice and snow that has been preserved for millions of years, the ice basin and the cliffs are crystal clear, and the long ice tongue emits dark blue light, which is more shocking than imagined. It is most suitable to go in autumn and winter.
🌟【Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon】The Grand Canyon is 504 kilometers long and 6009 meters deep at the deepest point. It is the deepest canyon in the world. In addition to taking a boat to see the canyon landscape in the scenic area, there are many good angles for viewing and photography. It is also a great place to watch Namjagbarwa Peak. Early May and early October are the best seasons for hiking.
🌟【Lulang Forest】It is composed of shrubs in the green mountains on both sides, dense spruce and pine trees, and neat meadows in the middle, known as the "natural oxygen bar".
🌟【Bomi】The autumn in Bomi County is super beautiful, the colorful forest is like fire, and the snow-capped glaciers are dotted in it. The sky and the lake are so blue that people are intoxicated. From September, there will be autumn colors around the Bomi Gang spruce forest. From early October to early November, the autumn colors are the most intense, especially the Bomi section of National Highway 318. The glacier is more charming against the colorful autumn colors on the road.

Midui Glacier at low latitude and low temperature
Nyingchi-Chamdo, Tibet
September 20, 2024
The weather in Bomi is cloudy to overcast with occasional light rain, with a temperature of 13-26°C and an altitude of 3,820 meters, National Highway 318.
The hotel we stayed in last night was a young local Tibetan chain brand hotel "Pingcuo Kangsang" (Tibetan means warm house). As soon as we arrived at the hotel, we received enthusiastic and considerate service from the staff, which made us feel tired from the journey. As an ordinary traveler, I really feel "at home".
Today we drove from Bomi to Basu. There are three construction sites on the 3865-3842 km section of National Highway 318 (Bomi boundary), and half of them are alternately open to traffic. On the way, our car was sandwiched in the military vehicle column and enjoyed the right of way. Even so, it was blocked for about half an hour.
Visit Midui Glacier in the morning (Figure 1).
Midui Glacier is located in Yupu Township, Bomi County. The entrance of the scenic spot is on the side of National Highway 318, which is convenient to enter. After buying a ticket, you can take a scenic bus for nearly 10 minutes and then walk 1,720 meters. The initial section has a long uphill, and the middle and later sections need to climb 282 stone steps to reach the viewing platform at the deepest part of the scenic spot (Figure 2, 3,820 meters above sea level).
Midui Glacier is a typical representative of marine glaciers in southeastern Tibet. The main peak of the glacier is 6,800 meters above sea level, and the snow line is only 4,600 meters above sea level, and it shines all year round (Figure 3). Affected by the climate of the eastern section of the Himalayas, although the glacier is located at 29° north latitude, the temperature at the end of the glacier is lower than that of the glacier in Bogda Mountain at 44° north latitude, which is a special phenomenon in modern glaciers in China (Figure 4). There are hundreds of meters long ice tongues (Figure 5).
Here, glaciers, lakes, farmland, pastures, villages, forests, etc. are integrated, and it is a model of harmonious coexistence between man and nature. The mixed coniferous and broad-leaved forest at the foot of the glacier has shown colorful autumn colors (Figure 6),
In the afternoon, continue east along National Highway 318 and return to Chamdo. There is no road construction in the Chamdo-Basu section, and the road conditions are good.
I want to go to Laigu Glacier to take a look. Due to the bad weather and tight time, I plan to go tomorrow and walk around Ranwu Lake by the way (Figure 7).
Ranwu Lake is not hidden in the deep mountains and is not easy to reach, but it stretches along the side of National Highway 318 and extends to the foot of Laigu Glacier. It is fully open and free of charge.
Ranwu Lake was formed more than 200 years ago. A landslide occurred in the downstream area of Ranwu Lake today. The huge collapsed stone dam blocked the Parlung Zangbo and formed a huge plateau barrier lake, which is today's Ranwu Lake (Figure 8).
There are green grasslands and green crops by the lake; there are vast forests on the hillside by the lake, and there are many rocks and small islands dotted around the lake (Figure 9). The lake water here should be blue or green. Due to the previous rainy season, there was more silt brought down from the mountain. The two lakes today are yellow and the viewing is not good.
Stay in the nearby Ranwu Town (altitude 3890 meters) tonight, the weather tomorrow is to be observed, and strive to complete the tour of Laigu Glacier.
Experience the Majestic Beauty of Nature with Tibet's Version of 'A Song of Ice and Fire'
Located at the foot of Mount Everest, the Midui Glacier is one of the most spectacular glacier landscapes in Tibet. This 26-kilometer-long glacier is filled with enchanting blue ice lakes and icefalls, creating a magical blend of ice and fire. From the glacier, you can enjoy a breathtaking view of Mount Everest and feel the overwhelming power of nature. Additionally, hiking along the glacier allows you to see rare plants like the glacier orchid, showcasing the rich diversity of nature. The Midui Glacier is truly Tibet's version of 'A Song of Ice and Fire', and its unique charm can only be fully appreciated in person.

MellifluousEphemeralZephyr 318 Sichuan-Tibet Line → Ranwu Lake ~ Midui Glacier Check-in
🌟 Highlights:
Ranwu Lake - Midui Glacier
The weather has been exceptionally good recently. I thought it would rain, but unexpectedly, the sun came out. Entering Tibet is indeed different, hahaha.
Ranwu Lake was not as good as I imagined. On the way to Ranwu Lake, we encountered another lake, but the water was smelly, so I didn't feel like taking pictures, and it wasn't very pretty. I pinned my hopes on Ranwu Lake, but when we got there, it wasn't as beautiful as the previous lake. I was a bit disappointed, so I just took a few casual photos and headed to the glacier. We made some food on the way and then went up the mountain.
Midui Glacier requires a ticket costing 87 yuan, and you need to take a sightseeing bus for 17 yuan, which only goes halfway. After getting off, you have two choices: ride a horse for 100 yuan or walk for two hours round trip. We chose to ride horses. The horses were a bit smelly, but if you like horse riding, you can give it a try. It wasn't very photogenic, but it was much easier. When we saw the glacier, we felt it was all worth it. We originally wanted to see the golden mountain at sunrise, but it required a long wait, so we didn't wait. After taking some photos and checking in, we came down. By the way, the toilets are locked after hours, so try to use the toilets in the mountains. We rode horses back and forth.
The Midui Glacier is stunningly beautiful in August
The Midui Glacier is the world's lowest-altitude glacier and has been rated as one of the six most beautiful glaciers in China by 'Chinese National Geography'.
In August, the glacier still exudes wildness and mystery. The trek to the viewing platform passes through villages and primeval forests, leaving one breathless with its beauty💙
📍Attraction: Midui Glacier
🚩Address: Bomi County, Nyingchi, Tibet, near National Highway 318
✅Ticket: 85 RMB/person, round-trip sightseeing bus 30 RMB/person
🔹🔹🔹Travel Tips
1. After purchasing tickets, you need to take an electric car to the hiking entrance. From the entrance to the viewing platform, you can walk 2km or ride a horse.
2. The scenery in front of the viewing platform is absolutely stunning. Hiking uphill may cause altitude sickness, so bring oxygen if you have average physical strength.
3. The viewing platform is still some distance from the glacier. Bring a telephoto lens and a drone for better effects.
4. There are small shops along the walking path selling barley cakes, butter tea, drinking water, and other supplies.
Linzhi-Bomi Renqing Inn
A very good experience inn, I really want to stay for two or three days, and I will come again if I have the chance
🌟Highlights:
Bomi Renqing Inn is located in Baka Village, Guxiang, Bomi County, at 4036 of National Highway 318 on the Sichuan-Tibet South Line; close to Gangyun Spruce Forest and Guxiang Lake, it can be regarded as a popular inn in Bomi.
This is a Tibetan manor-style inn surrounded by snow-capped mountains. The environment of the inn is very good, facing the snow-capped mountains and lakes, and you can also enjoy the most beautiful forest, snow-capped mountains, and lakes in China here.
The manor has a variety of room configurations, including view rooms, Tibetan standard rooms, triple rooms, quadruple rooms, and shared rooms.
👍Most recommended:
Rooms:
The rooms are all wooden structures, made of natural pine and cedar, without paint, you can fully feel the fresh and natural smell~ The environment inside the inn is also first-class, completely unlike the conditions of a small hotel, clean and hygienic needless to say, the interior decoration is also warm, a warm and harmonious picture.
Courtyard:
The courtyard can be said to be the best public area of Renqing Inn. The courtyard is like a small garden, facing the Guxiang River; it is also the entrance to the Gangyun Spruce Forest.
The barley fields and rapeseed fields in front of the door add a lot of color to the whole picturesque place.
Restaurant:
The restaurant is connected to the lobby and offers local Tibetan cuisine and Chinese cuisine. Vegetables, rapeseed oil, and seasonings are all sourced from the inn's own farm. Here are also the oldest and most traditional Tibetan furniture and household items. Guests can taste the purest butter tea, barley wine, beer, and other beverages here.
🍽Dining recommendation:
There is also unlimited refills of delicious milk tea, and it's free!
The owner also roasted the best delicious ingredients in the Tibetan area for us - matsutake!
You can also wear the ethnic costumes provided for free and take photos!
In addition, the inn also has a bonfire party at night. Every night at 8 o'clock, the bonfire of Renqing Inn will be lit on time. When the bonfire rises, Tibetan music will sound, and the staff will lead us to dance Guozhuang. This is probably the only entertainment at night and also the happiest moment.
The staff here are simple and enthusiastic, and parking is also very convenient! In short, it is a very high-experience inn.

Motuo
Gawalong Scenic Area
❤Recommended Reason:
You can run and take photos under the snow-capped mountains, which are very photogenic . However, when I went, the flowers had already withered, and it was all lawn, but still very beautiful. When the weather is good, the snow-capped mountains will be fully visible. The day I went was cloudy, so the mountains were covered.
🕙Opening Hours:
Open all day. Already arranged
🚉Transportation Tips:
You need to drive yourself. There are two sections of the road that are not easy to drive on. Small cars need to go slower, but otherwise, no problem
🍽Food Recommendations:
Bring some food yourself. You can camp there, but there are no places to buy food, so you must bring your own

The Journey on the Sichuan-Tibet Line | Eighth Stop: Bomi
🎈Dear family, today is the eighth stop of our journey on the Sichuan-Tibet line—Bomi.
Today's itinerary: Ranwu Lake -> Bomi
🌅 On the way, there was a heavy rain, and the road was flooded. Fortunately, our car is a four-wheel drive, so we easily crossed the water. Those on motorcycles were in trouble, their wheels stuck in the mud, and several motorcyclists had to help each other push their bikes to get out🚵
🏞 We passed a small village and encountered some children chasing us for money. A friend wanted to give them 200, but our local guide stopped him in time, saying that giving them some food would be enough. In the end, we gave them some egg yolk pies, bread, and fruits, and they stopped following us🥯
🚗 We parked our car on a meadow to take photos. There were many cows grazing on the grass. I draped a red scarf over myself to take beautiful photos but was afraid the cows might come and butt me. While I was nervously posing, two 👮 came and reminded us that this is a military area and we couldn't stay, so we left quickly. It was the first time I saw the soldiers guarding our borders, and I really admire them. They work so hard🙏
✅ Ranwu Lake is truly a paradise on earth😍 The lake water is crystal clear and blue, surrounded by continuous snow-capped mountains and dense forests. Under the sunlight, the snow mountains, forests, and lake water reflect each other, creating an absolutely beautiful picture🌈
⛺️ Staying in Bomi
🌙 As night fell, we saw the people of Bomi dancing their own square dance. That sense of relaxation is really enviable💃
Midui Glacier, one of the six most beautiful glaciers in China
Midui Glacier is located in Yupu Township, Bomi County, Nyingchi Prefecture, Tibet. It is at the junction of the Nyenchen Tanglha Mountains and the Boshula Range in southeastern Tibet, which is also a distribution area for China's large monsoon maritime glaciers. The glacier is covered with snow all year round, and the snow is white, but the mixed forest of coniferous and broad-leaved trees below the glacier remains green throughout the year, presenting a picturesque and colorful scenery. Therefore, it was rated as one of the 'Six Most Beautiful Glaciers in China' by National Geographic Magazine.
Midui Glacier is probably the closest glacier to National Highway 318. The entrance to Midui Glacier is set right beside National Highway 318, making it very convenient to access. Visitors can take a sightseeing bus from the entrance to Midui Village within 10 minutes, and then hike or ride a horse to the viewing platform.
The most breathtaking view of Midui Glacier is from the Midui Glacier viewing platform. The ice tongue descending from the sky shines with a silver light under the sun, and the nearly 800-meter drop makes one feel dizzy.
Bomi is truly beautiful and makes me not want to check out
After a month of 996 work schedule, the happiest thing during the weekend is to go out with friends, find a secluded place in the mountains, sit under the blue sky and white clouds, let the breeze pass through my body, and enjoy this moment of time that belongs only to me⌚️...

🇨🇳 Pristine Beauty at 贡嘎错 (Gongga Lake) in Daocheng Yading
#solotravel
Nestled in the stunning landscapes of the Daocheng Yading Nature Reserve, 贡嘎错 (Gongga Lake) stands as a serene testament to the untouched beauty of this remote region. Also known as the "Jade Lake" for its crystal-clear waters, Gongga Lake offers breathtaking views and a tranquil atmosphere that captures the essence of the Tibetan plateau.
Surrounded by rugged peaks and lush meadows, Gongga Lake is accessible via a trek through the reserve, where the natural scenery unfolds in a dramatic display of vibrant colors and diverse terrains. The journey to the lake is as mesmerizing as the destination itself, with opportunities to witness local wildlife and vibrant alpine flora along the way. 🍀
Once at Gongga Lake, visitors are greeted by the sight of its shimmering turquoise waters, which reflect the surrounding snow-capped mountains in a stunning display of natural beauty. The lake is considered sacred by the local communities, and its pristine condition is maintained through respectful tourism practices. This sacred aspect adds a profound spiritual dimension to the visit, making it a peaceful place for reflection and meditation. 🧘
The best times to visit Gongga Lake are during the warmer months when the trails are more accessible and the landscape is lush with summer blooms. However, the lake’s allure changes with the seasons, offering uniquely beautiful vistas year-round.
Visiting Gongga Lake is not just a journey into nature, but an adventure into the heart of one of China's most awe-inspiring landscapes. It's a must-visit for those who seek tranquility and natural beauty in its most pure form.

Those who understand Tibet will definitely not miss the autumn in Nyingchi
Starting from late September every year
Nyingchi, known as the 'Jiangnan of Tibet', enters the golden season of rich autumn colors
Various shades of yellow, red, and purple gradually dye the hillsides, forests, rivers, lakes, and the snowy mountains... adding more delicate colors until around mid to late November
This visual feast slowly comes to an end after nearly 50 days of 'Golden Nyingchi' - once again, really don't miss it!
The autumn and winter of Nyingchi:
√【Basong Lake】Snow peaks, lakes, forests, light hiking
Basong Lake is a famous sacred lake of the Red Sect of Tibetan Buddhism, known as the 'Turquoise that fell from the sky'. The scenic area has many attractions such as the lake island, Tsokha Monastery, Jieba Village, Cuogao Village, Xincuo, Zhongcuo, etc.
The best season to visit is autumn when the sky is high and the air is fresh, with clear clouds. From the lakeshore to the mountain ridges, the mountains and fields are all dyed with rich colors, and the tranquil environment...
√【Namcha Barwa Peak】Sunlit golden mountain
Namcha Barwa Peak is the most representative peak in the Nyingchi region and also the highest peak there.
The best viewing spots: Sejila Mountain Pass, Sosong Village in the Yarlung Tsangpo Grand Canyon
The best season for viewing: October to April of the following year is the best, with less rainfall, dry air, high visibility, and the most beautiful view of Namcha Barwa from a distance
√【Midui Glacier】Glacier, snow mountain, forest
Midui Glacier is one of the lowest altitude glaciers in the world and has been rated as one of the six most beautiful glaciers in China by 'China National Geography'.
It retains ancient ice and snow for millions of years, with crystal-clear ice cliffs and long dark blue ice tongues, more moving than one can imagine, recommended to visit in autumn and winter!
√【Yarlung Tsangpo Grand Canyon】Viewing twin peaks, light hiking, landscape photography
The Yarlung Tsangpo Grand Canyon is 504 kilometers long and 6009 meters deep at its deepest point, making it the deepest canyon in the world.
Inside the Yarlung Tsangpo Grand Canyon scenic area, besides taking a boat to view the canyon landscape, there are also a variety of viewing and photography angles, making it the best spot to view Namcha Barwa Peak. Early May and early October are the best times for hiking.
√【Lulang Forest Sea】Snow mountain, forest sea, meadow
The Lulang Forest Sea is composed of shrubs and dense spruce and pine trees on both sides of the green mountains, with neat meadows in the middle, known as the 'natural oxygen bar'.
√【Bomi】Glacier, spruce forest, hiking
In autumn, the Bomi county town is filled with fiery interwoven colorful forests, adorned with snowy glaciers, and the sky and lakes that are so blue they touch one's heart, reflecting each other, such rich autumn colors will make you unable to look away...
Starting in September, the surroundings of the Gang spruce forest in Bomi gradually welcome the autumn colors, with the most intense colors from early October to early November, especially along the Bomi section of National Highway 318. Looking at the glaciers from the road, under the reflection of the splendid autumn colors, they appear even more charming!
Tibet Self-Drive Tour Guide | From Ranwu Lake to the Secret Realm of Motuo in Tibet
After resting at Ranwu Lake in Baxoi
Our self-drive tour in Tibet continues
Driving for over 3 hours along National Highway 318 to reach Bomi County
Moving forward through the mountain roads, the road conditions are average
You may encounter road maintenance closures and so on
🏔️In Bomi, it is actually the closest place to Motuo
However, you must be well-prepared before going
Because of the saying 'There is only one Motuo in the world, and Motuo has the whole world', we were curious about what the real Motuo is like
So we came‼️
🛣️Navigate from Bomi and drive along the Motuo Highway
Although it's only 116 kilometers, it takes over 3 hours by car
Don't know how many mountains you have to go around to get there
It is said that Motuo is a place full of mystery and pristine natural scenery
You will have a deep understanding on the way there
It is also a very suitable route for self-driving tours🚗
🌳Aside from transportation, what we see is
Clouds and mist, primitive forests, waterfalls and lakes, ethnic minority villages, etc., everything is unknown and mysterious
So it attracts adventurers to explore
🏔️Scenery along the way:
▶️Along the way, we found a clearing to park, the snow mountains, canyons, and forests here are stunning, great for taking photos
▶️If the weather is good, you will also see 'Armor Mountain', because the top part near the summit is all made of slate rock layers. It is said that in April, May, or September, October, after some of the snow melts on the slate cliffs, from a distance it looks like the patterns on the armor worn by ancient warriors, hence the name Armor Mountain. When we passed by, the snow had mostly melted and we could vaguely see a bit
▶️Actually, on the way to Motuo, you can see many monkeys🐒, you can stop and feed them, they are not afraid of people
▶️Finally arriving at Motuo, the scenery of Motuo is greatly affected by the weather. June when we went is not the best viewing period, but what surprised us the most was that after going around so many mountains, the Motuo that was presented to us was actually a mature and complete county town with everything
‼️Key tips:
✅To go to Motuo, you need to apply for a border pass in advance, which can be done in Bomi County
✅Currently, Motuo is accessible by road, public transportation can first get to Linzhi or Bomi and then take a bus or chartered car to Motuo
✅Remember for self-driving, Motuo is entered on even-numbered days and exited on odd-numbered days
✅From Bomi to Motuo, the altitude will drop to 800 meters, you may experience oxygen intoxication
We will detail the specific Motuo strategy in our next article🔎
Bomi Songzan Linka Hotel
"The secret realm of the fairy mountain in the snowy area is long, and no one steps into the mist to embrace the vastness."
When you first encounter the Jialong Gongmeiga Mo Snow Mountain, the towering figure under the white snow shines brightly under the sunlight, and there is only the shock and cleansing of the soul at the foot of the mountain.
Stay at the Bomi Songzan Linka Hotel at the foot of the snow mountain, possessing the beauty and romance of the sunlit golden mountain and the blue water and sky, the artistic conception of the ancient poetry is reflected into reality.
The hotel faces the winding Guxiang Lake and is backed by dense forests. The sloping triangular roof is matched with gray tiles, and the white window frames echo the clear sky from afar. Here you can feel the slow pace of life.
The room is filled with warm yellow wooden floors and furniture, which are delicate to the touch and very textured. The small bedside lamp really warms up the room. The large bathtub in front of the window allows you to enjoy the sunlit Jing Mountain while taking a bath, and the balcony space is large, suitable for an afternoon tea.
Walking in the lush Gang spruce forest, the infinity pool reflects the snow mountain and the blue sky and white clouds, and you can also overlook the clear Guxiang Lake, the scenery is really amazing!
Hotel: Bomi Songzan Linka Hotel
Address: 5 meters north of the parking lot inside the Songzan Bomi Linka Hotel in Guxiang Village, Bomi County, Nyingchi City, Tibet Autonomous Region
Bomi, nestled among the snowy mountains
Bomi, the gateway to Motuo and a station on National Highway 318, is a beautiful border town surrounded by snow-capped mountains and traversed by rivers. The white snow complements the lush greenery, and the Han and Tibetan residents live together in harmony. Songs and Buddhist scriptures flow through the mountain streams, coexisting with the surrounding nature.
Taking a moment to rest here is a baptism...

Bomi·Nyingchi
Peach Blossoms in Snow - Bomi Peach Blossom Valley.
You may have seen hundred-year-old peach blossoms, and perhaps even three-hundred-year-old peach blossoms, but you certainly haven't seen a five-hundred-year-old peach tree. When you stroll through the beautiful scenery of peach blossoms in Nyingchi, breathing in the earthy aroma and the fragrance of peach blossoms, you'll surely wish to live another five hundred years.
The most beautiful part of Tibet is Nyingchi, and the most beautiful time in Nyingchi is April. When the peach blossoms bloom all over the mountains and valleys along National Highway 318 extending to the Yarlung Tsangpo River Gorge, both tourists and photography enthusiasts will focus their attention here, forgetting the pain of altitude sickness, just for the once-in-five-hundred-years charm of the peach blossoms.
Starting from Chengdu in mid to late March, travel along the most beautiful national highway G318, traversing thousands of miles and navigating the winding roads of Bangda's seventy-two bends, the first place to see the peach blossoms in Nyingchi is Bomi. The most beautiful peach blossoms in Bomi can be found in Bomi Peach Blossom Valley.
Bomi Peach Blossom Valley is located about 10 kilometers west of Bomi County town, in the valley of the Potoi Tsangpo River. Coming from Nyingchi, you will first reach Peach Blossom Valley before arriving at Zhamu Town in Bomi County. On the left side of National Highway 318, near the Kada Bridge (where the Potoi Tsangpo River joins the Parlung Tsangpo River), there are clear signs for Peach Blossom Valley, as well as the former residence of the Tibetan King Nyatri Tsenpo and a promotional sign for the Potoi Hydropower Station. As you go further in, you will see more ancient peach trees, some with a diameter of up to 1 meter. These peach trees are not artificially planted; they are all wild. For hundreds of years, the local Tibetan people have never destroyed or cut them down, which is closely related to the Tibetan people's love for all living things. Late March is the peak blooming season for peach blossoms in Bomi, stretching over 20 kilometers, incredibly beautiful.
As soon as you turn into Peach Blossom Valley, you will see peach blossoms on both sides of the road. On one side of the road are villages and houses, while on the other side is the river valley with some farmland. There are also villages on the opposite bank of the Potoi Tsangpo River, similarly surrounded by peach blossoms. In the distance, the snow-capped peaks glisten.
The main spots to see peach blossoms in Bomi Peach Blossom Valley are connected by several villages and towns. Recommended route: Start from Bomi Town to Runa Village - Qingduo Town - Yuxu Township / Xumu Township.
Galong Village: It is 18 kilometers from Bomi to Galong Village. The so-called Galong Lake is just a river. The best peach blossoms in Galong Village are fenced off by local villagers who charge an entrance fee of 5 yuan per person. You can park freely by the roadside, but in some places, villagers may charge a parking fee of 5 yuan.
Runa Village: It is 15 kilometers from Galong Village to Runa Village. After turning north from National Highway 318, the scenery is beautiful all the way. The villages on both sides of the river are full of peach blossoms, and they are very lush. The scenery in Runa Village is slightly more complex.
Liekang Village / Bakang Village: You can reach Bakang Village through Liekang Village. Bakang Village is located halfway up the mountain, and you need to open two iron gates yourself to reach the last mountain household. You can climb to higher slopes to take aerial shots of the peach blossoms.
Qingduo Town: It is 43 kilometers from Bomi County to Qingduo Town. At the end of Qingduo Town, you can climb to higher slopes to photograph the peach blossoms and Qingduo Temple.
Xumu Township: It is 69 kilometers from Bomi County to Yuxu (Xumu) Township. To get to Xumu Township, you need to pass through Runa Village and Qingduo Town. The road from Qingduo Town to Xumu Township is a dirt road and slightly difficult to travel. After passing the frozen oil village of the second prison and crossing the mountain to Baiyu Village, the scenery is quite beautiful. Xumu Township and Yuren Township have now merged into Yuxu Township, so take note. The terrain along the way to Xumu is different from the surroundings of Bomi County, with beautiful snow-capped mountains worth photographing. The peach blossoms in Xumu Township generally bloom about 5 days later than those in places like Galong.
In Peach Blossom Valley, winding paths rise and fall, twisting and turning. Tourists wander among the beautiful peach blossoms along the roadside. Walking under the trees, petals fall like snow or cherry blossoms. Along the roadside, cameras capture these beautiful moments.
[Tips]
1. Specific location of Peach Blossom Valley: 10 kilometers from Bomi County town along National Highway G318, turn right after crossing the Yajiang Bridge, there are road signs. Follow the valley inward to see the peach blossoms you desire.
2. Lens selection: Use telephoto lenses to capture the partial beauty of peach blossoms, utilizing the composition of focus and blur, near and far, to showcase the charm of peach blossoms, especially highlighting the environmental features of snow-capped mountains and Tibetan dwellings. Use wide-angle lenses for large scenes, including rivers, mountains, snow peaks, and the earth in the frame.
3. Along the way, mainly Sichuan cuisine is available. You can choose meals according to your taste. Local supplies are scarce and prices are relatively higher than in cities. Be sure to check the menu before ordering to avoid psychological discrepancies.
4. Spring in Nyingchi has a large temperature difference between morning and evening. Be sure to prepare enough clothing and keep warm in the morning and evening.
5. During the blooming season, there are many tourists, and tickets and accommodations are quite tight and prices rise. If traveling in a group, it is recommended to book in advance...

not for fame or fortune, but for faith. If you have the chance, you must go and see what Tibet looks like.
It is a dream that many Chinese people do not want to wake up from.

Langqiu Village, nestled at the foot of the Langqiu Glacier, is a paradise on Earth that you simply cannot miss along the G318 highway!
Tibet is a magical place, where the scenery changes every few miles. When the peach blossoms in the Linzhi Grand Canyon and Bomi Peach Blossom Valley wither, it is the perfect time for the peach blossoms near the Langqiu Glacier in Songzong Town, Bomi, to bloom. Surrounded by snow-capped mountains, Langqiu Village encompasses canyons, forests, glaciers, rivers, temples, ancient peach trees, traditional Tibetan houses, and lush green fields, truly making it a perfect Shangri-La on Earth! Passing through Bomi Songzong Town to the Langqiu Glacier scenic area in Langqiu Village via the G318, you really shouldn't miss it! In March 2024, Langqiu Village finally welcomed its first high-end rural resort, 'Langqiu · Bo'an Mountain Residence Resort'. Come and experience the grandeur of the age under the Langqiu Glacier!
I thought the peach blossoms in Linzhi were beautiful until I visited the ones in Bomi
❤️Recommended reason:
Bomi Peach Blossom Valley🌸 follows the largest tributary of the Parlung Tsangpo River, the Boidoi Tsangpo, heading north all the way to Zepu Village at the northernmost 90 kilometers. Along the clear turquoise riverbanks, the further north you go, the denser the peach blossoms become, especially from Linqiong Village to Yuxu Township. Both sides are dense peach forests, with thick peach trees forming a pale pink cloud.
🌟🌟Especially recommended peach blossom villages:
✅Must experience:
Danka Village
Often the first village before entering the Peach Blossom Valley, located on the south bank of the Parlung Tsangpo, yet often overlooked by tourists due to a bridge. Here, the river, peach blossoms, snow mountains, cattle and horses, villages, and grasslands are integrated harmoniously, offering a different view at every step. The village charges an entrance fee of 10 yuan per person, which is completely worth it compared to those well-known peach villages. More houses are on the left side of the village, while the right side has more peach blossoms, offering a comfortable and pleasant stroll for visitors.
Linqiong Village
Situated between Qiongduo Town and Yuxu Township, the dense peach forest on the south side of the village is stunning from afar. The density here is higher than other places, as seen from the drone footage, covering the entire river beach with full white and pink. The road passes through the village, with lush peach blossoms on both sides, making one feel as if they are in a peach blossom utopia. The Yusha Village across the river on the hillside also seems to be draped in colorful clouds, offering a breathtaking view across the river. In addition, the Haiding Village to the south and north of Yuxu Township and the Reba Village are dense with wild peach forests, which are very impressive.
Qiongduo Town
The four villages along the north side of the river, Liekang Village—Bakang Village—Xiamuka—Yusar, are staggered in height, one after another, offering a feast for the eyes. The four villages are very close to each other and seamlessly connected. As a midway point, Qiongduo Town has relatively convenient accommodations and dining. For a short trip to Bomi Peach Blossom Valley, you can return from here, take a mid-line to Yuxu Township, or a long line to Zepu Village for a trek to the Zepu Glacier.
Use the blue of the sky and the pink of the cherry blossoms to add the most beautiful touch to your own birthday
With a vast history of 5,000 years, China's historical traces are inseparable from this natural beauty. Enjoy Tibet alone, the most beautiful city in the sky. 👍👍👍
🌟 Highlights:
Give yourself a spontaneous trip for your birthday. The same Tibet, different beauty, it's truly never enough each time.
👍 Most recommended:
Go to Bomê to see the peach blossoms, watch the sunset in Milin, and welcome your birthday at Basum Tso, grateful to my friends for spending a happy day with me.
Medog Travel Guide!!!
Tibet Medog | A must-visit lotus wonderland (with a 4-day and 3-night strategy)|||"There is only one Medog in the world, and Medog has the whole world."
🚗Four-day three-night itinerary recommendation
Day1: Bomi - Gawalong Snow World - Galongla Tunnel - Gang Spruce Forest - Medog - Lotus Park
Day2: Medog - Mirage - Renqingbeng Monastery - Renqingbeng Kora - Medog
Day3: Medog - Gelin Village - Piaomiao Tea Garden Viewpoint
Day4: Sunrise at Piaomiao Tea Garden Viewpoint - Derung Village, the first village on the border - Gelin Village - Guoguotang Big Bend - Medog Museum - Medog
❗️❗️❗️Medog currently has a double-entry single-exit system
That is, even-numbered days are for entering Medog, and odd-numbered days are for leaving Medog (the last time to enter Medog through Galongla Tunnel is 13:30, and the latest time to leave Medog town is 11:00, these two times are very important)
🏞️Attraction recommendations:
1️⃣Gawalong Snow World:
A scenic spot before entering the Galongla Tunnel, where the snow is thick, suitable for snowball fights, and you can also ride snowmobiles (100r for two laps), and it's a great place for taking photos📸
2️⃣Gang Spruce Forest
After exiting the Galongla Tunnel, the cedar trees look very beautiful after the snow, with snow-capped mountains🏔️ in the background, truly outshining Erbin (If it snows, it is recommended to leave Medog earlier to see the morning glow, the golden sunlight on the mountains, and the beautiful cedar trees)
3️⃣Mirage
You can see the Medog county town and a sea of clouds, "half in the human world, half in a fairyland," but remember to check the sunrise time, as the glow will be gone if you go too late
4️⃣Renqingbeng
Renqingbeng Monastery is currently under renovation and temporarily closed
The kora path is right next to the Renqingbeng Monastery on the plank road, follow it, and it takes about 2h to complete the whole journey. Most of the people doing the kora are Tibetan compatriots, and the scenery is also very good, with many sacred traces along the way, it is recommended to take a walk
5️⃣Piaomiao Tea Garden Viewpoint
You can photograph the golden sunlight on Mount Namjagbarwa🏔️, as well as see a sea of clouds, with hardly any tourists, and it's a shooting spot that hardly anyone knows about (Pay attention to the sunrise time on the second morning if you want to see the golden sunlight on Mount Namjagbarwa)
6️⃣Guoguotang Big Bend
No need to say much about this, it's very famous, but currently, due to road construction, to go to Guoguotang you can only walk after crossing the bridge, or ride a motorcycle with a villager, about 6km away
7️⃣Medog Museum
It's not big, and if you're quick, you can finish visiting in just over half an hour. It mainly introduces the customs of the Menba and Luoba ethnic groups, as well as the development history of Medog. The outdoor platform on the third floor also offers an overlook of the entire Medog county town
❗️❗️❗️Important notes:
1️⃣A border pass is required for Medog
2️⃣Self-drivers remember to bring anti-skid chains
3️⃣There are no chain hotels in Gelin Village, only homestays set up by local villagers, remember to book in advance
4️⃣Remember to do the Renqingbeng Kora clockwise
