A place recommended by Hu Ge, absolutely breathtaking!

Step into Medog, China's last county connected by highway—this hidden lotus sanctuary is stunning beyond words! Experience the magical transition of all four seasons in a single day, from snow-capped mountains to tropical rainforests 🌿 🚶♂️Must-visit attractions: 📍Galongla Snow Mountain: A majestic 4,200-meter-high snow-capped peak, shrouded in mist like a fairyland. Best viewing period is from May to October. 📍Yarlung Tsangpo Grand Canyon: The world's deepest canyon, offering awe-inspiring views of the roaring river from the observation deck. 📍Rinchen Pung Monastery: Medog's oldest Tibetan Buddhist temple, with golden roofs gleaming in the sunlight. 📍Medog Tropical Rainforest: A rare low-altitude rainforest home to various endangered flora and fauna. 📍Guoguotang Great Bend: Where the Yarlung Tsangpo River makes a dramatic 270-degree turn—a breathtaking aerial view! 🍲Food recommendations: ✅Stone Pot Chicken: A nourishing local delicacy stewed with medicinal herbs. Try "Medog Stone Pot King." ✅Lhoba Hand-Grabbed Rice: An ethnic specialty served with wild mountain vegetables. ✅Wild Honey: Pure and natural, available for purchase from local farmers. ⚠️Practical Tips: 1⃣Apply for a border permit in advance at your registered residence. 2⃣Landslides are common during the rainy season (June–September), so plan accordingly. 3⃣Large temperature swings between day and night—pack windproof jackets and rain gear. 4⃣Spotty signal in some areas; download offline maps beforehand. 5⃣Limited lodging options; bring your own toiletries. 🚗Transportation Guide: From Bomi, drive along the Zhamo Highway for about 8 hours—scenery along the way is spectacular! Consider hiring a private car or joining a tour. Self-driving is recommended only for experienced drivers!
