Nyingchi’s autumn scenery is absolutely stunning! The “Little Jiangnan of Tibet” from October to November looks like a beautiful oil painting

Every year from early October to mid-November, Nyingchi fully embraces the autumn atmosphere! The mountains dyed in layers of color and the clouds clearing around Namjagbarwa Peak make every scene look like an autumn oil painting painted by nature itself. Don’t hesitate, just go for this autumn scenery! Check out these practical spots and tips below and copy them directly! 🔝 Must-visit spot 1: Namjagbarwa Peak — the perfect time to catch the “shy girl peak” in full view Namjagbarwa Peak is known as the “Father of Mountains in Tibet,” usually wrapped in clouds and mist, earning the nickname “Shy Girl Peak.” But after the rainy season in October-November, the chances of the clouds clearing are very high, making it the golden period to see its true face! - Suosong Village: Stay at a guesthouse in Suosong Village, and you can face Namjagbarwa Peak right from your window! Watch the golden sunlight on the mountain in the morning and the snow-capped peak glowing with sunset in the evening — a guaranteed winner for your social media photography contest. - Sejila Mountain Pass: If you’re driving through Sejila Mountain, be sure to stop at the pass. Here you can get a panoramic view of Namjagbarwa Peak, and on clear days, the sharp edges of the snow mountain are clearly visible. 👉 How to play: Book a guesthouse in Suosong Village on Trip.com, prioritize “snow mountain view rooms,” and you can catch the golden mountain without even stepping outside early in the morning! 🔝 Must-visit spot 2: Gala Bai Lei Peak — “competing in beauty across the river” with Namjagbarwa Gala Bai Lei Peak faces Namjagbarwa Peak across the Yarlung Tsangpo River. The two snow mountains stand on opposite sides, making the canyon scenery especially magnificent. The golden and red autumn forests spread at the foot of the snow mountains, creating an absolutely stunning visual impact! - Best viewing spot: Inside the Yarlung Tsangpo Grand Canyon Scenic Area, take the park shuttle to the viewing platform to see both snow mountains and the autumn colors of the canyon all at once. 👉 How to play: Buy the “Yarlung Tsangpo Grand Canyon ticket + shuttle” combo on Trip.com for convenience and great value! 🔝 Must-visit spot 3: Niyang River & Lulang Forest Sea — the “palette” of autumn mountain forests Nyingchi’s autumn isn’t just about snow mountains; the forests are stunningly beautiful too! - Along the Niyang River: The water is bright blue, and the trees on both sides are red and yellow. Driving along the Niyang River is like passing through a “moving gallery.” Stop at any curve to take photos, and you’ll get amazing shots. - Lulang Forest Sea: In autumn, the forest looks like a spilled paint box, with layers of green pine needles, yellow poplars, and red shrubs. You can also experience the “Tibetan pastoral style” by visiting popular guesthouses and stone pot chicken restaurants. 👉 How to play: Rent a car for self-driving (car rental services are available on Trip.com in Lhasa or Nyingchi), drive along the Niyang River all the way to Lulang, stopping whenever you want for maximum freedom! 📌 Nyingchi autumn viewing “practical tips” - Best time: Early October to mid-November. Too early and the leaves aren’t fully yellow; too late and you might encounter snowfall. - Clothing advice: It’s quite warm during the day with sunshine, so a light jacket is enough; but mornings and evenings have big temperature differences, so bring a thick down jacket or a windbreaker to avoid getting cold! - Transportation: - Self-driving: Lhasa to Nyingchi is about 400 km with good road conditions. Along the way, you can visit Yamdrok Lake and Karola Glacier. You can book off-road vehicles with drivers in Lhasa on Trip.com. - Group tours: If you’re worried about driving fatigue, join a small group tour. Choose the “Nyingchi 3-day tour” on Trip.com, which includes tickets, accommodation, and transportation, so you don’t have to worry about anything. - Accommodation recommendations: In Suosong Village, choose “snow mountain view guesthouses.” In Lulang, pick “forest sea view hotels.” Filter for “Nyingchi autumn popular accommodations” on Trip.com and book those rated above 4.8 with confidence. - Must-eat food: Lulang stone pot chicken (rich white chicken soup with tender, flavorful meat), Tibetan fragrant pork (firm meat, delicious when roasted), and barley cakes (perfect dipped in yogurt). Search “Nyingchi must-eat restaurants” on Trip.com to find local hidden gems. 🍂 This autumn, don’t miss Nyingchi’s “limited-time romance” Snow mountains, forest seas, colorful forests... Nyingchi plays up the beauty of autumn to the fullest! Book your flights, car rentals, and guesthouses on Trip.com now. Take advantage of the best autumn viewing period from October to November and become the “main character in an oil painting” in Nyingchi. Miss it, and you’ll have to wait another year!
