Following Hu Ge to the hidden paradise of Medog, it's even more breathtaking than Switzerland!!

Is Medog recommended by Hu Ge really worth visiting? This is China's most mysterious city, boasting the country's most complete vertical mountain climate zones and hosting the northernmost rainforest on Earth. No matter how much I praise Medog, nothing compares to witnessing this utopian paradise in person! Everywhere you look are dense forests, and along the way from glaciers and fir forests to banana groves, you can experience all four seasons in a single day~ 🏨 Sharing the hotels we stayed at: [RoundNails] Songtsam Namcha Barwa Lodge ⛰️ Nestled deep in the Yarlung Tsangpo Grand Canyon, its standout feature is facing Namcha Barwa directly, with every window offering views of the snow-capped mountains. The 4,600-meter elevation drop brings not just visual awe but an overwhelming spiritual impact ⭐ [RoundNails] Songtsam Basum Tso Lodge Located by the shores of Basum Tso Lake, it offers unparalleled views of the sacred lake and holy mountains. Every window frames a picturesque scene of the lake and distant peaks, with views right outside your window. From public areas to guest rooms, the use of varying shades of green reflects the lake's seasonal changes 🎉 ⭐ Luxury wilderness experience 📸 DJI drone provided for aerial photography and VLOG filming along the journey ⛰️ Explore the Yarlung Tsangpo Grand Canyon and face Namcha Barwa Peak [Scenic] Aerial shots of the Buddha's Palm Sand Dunes, where desert and snow-capped mountains share the frame, stepping into an ink-wash painting—Guxiang Lake 🚶🏻‍♀️ Light hiking through Gangyun Fir Forest—encounter the fairy-tale Grass Lake [Camping] Trace the temple from "The Lost Tomb" series—Gawalong Temple 🎈 Mirage-like sea of clouds and panoramic views of Medog County 🌲 Admire tropical banana groves and Namcha Barwa Peak in Green Village 🚗 6-day itinerary for Nyingchi + Medog tour Day1️⃣: Nyingchi Mainling Airport - Bomi Day2️⃣: Bomi - Medog Day3️⃣: Medog - Bomi Day4️⃣: Bomi - Dalin Village Day5️⃣: Yarlung Tsangpo Grand Canyon - Buddha's Palm Sand Dunes Day6️⃣: Dalin Village - Mainling Airport ⚠️ Must-know tips before you go: √ Apply for a border permit in advance if visiting Medog √ SUVs are recommended for self-driving, but sedans or MPVs are generally fine too √ Tibet's weather is unpredictable with large temperature swings, so pack extra clothing
