One-day tour of the Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon, really regret spending money on the ticket

My expectations of the scenic area were too grand, but reality slapped me in the face… The most beautiful scenery is truly along the way! Not recommended to enter the scenic area just for the sake of it, self-driving along the route is forever the best! 🚗 Driving from Bayi Town to the Grand Canyon, you will pass by the Niyang River and Fozhang Dunes. Both have viewing platforms where you can take photos for free, no need to buy tickets to enter~ The Niyang River, known as the mother river of the Gongbu Tibetan people, looks like a jade ribbon in autumn, with lush greenery on both banks, a perfect "Jiangnan" painting🏞️ No color adjustment needed at all! Fozhang Dunes are a natural wonder formed by strong winds, with reflections shaped like a Buddha’s palm~ We watched it once at dawn and once at sunset, the changes in light and shadow were stunning!📷 Inside the scenic area, you can only take a shuttle bus to visit four stops: Daduka, Ancient Mulberry Tree, Namjagbarwa Viewing Platform, and Waterside Terrace. Tickets cost 150 yuan + 90 yuan for the shuttle bus, the scenery really doesn’t justify the price, it hurts💔 The surprise is! The road to the airport is the hidden fairyland~ When the fog rises, it feels like traveling through the clouds, breathtakingly beautiful! 💡 Ticket: 150 yuan/person, shuttle bus 90 yuan/person 🕒 Opening hours: Spring and Summer (4.1-9.30)|8:00-20:30 Autumn and Winter (10.1-3.31)|8:30-18:00 (Entry stops at 16:00)
