How amazing is Motuo recommended by Hu Ge? A super detailed family travel guide is here!​

Is Motuo, recommended by Hu Ge, really worth visiting? It used to be the only county in China that required a ticket to enter and was the last county to be connected by road. Here you’ll find snow-capped mountains, waterfalls, and ancient villages, each scenery breathtaking. This is Motuo, Tibet~ ​How to get to Motuo?​​ 🚗 Self-driving: Currently, the only way into Motuo is via the Zamo Highway, but the road is closed after 8 PM, and Motuo implements a “single exit, double entry” rule. For example, on odd-numbered days you can only exit, and on even-numbered days you can only enter. 🚌 Shuttle bus: There is currently only one route from Nyingchi to Motuo, departing from Bayi Town, Nyingchi (leaves at 8 AM). ⚠ Note: ✔ Motuo requires both a border pass and an ID card, both are mandatory! ⏰ Best travel time: April to May and September to November each year, when the weather is good and the scenery is at its most beautiful! ​About Motuo​ Motuo means “flower” in Tibetan and belongs to Nyingchi City, Tibet. It is the only small town hanging on the southern slope of the Himalayas in China. It used to require an entrance ticket, but starting from March 16, 2023, Motuo announced the cancellation of tickets! 🎉 ​🔥 Must-visit attractions​ Yarlung Tsangpo Grand Canyon The world’s largest canyon! Rivers, marshes, snow mountains, and glaciers abound. In March and April, you can see wild peach forests blooming on both sides of the canyon. The river and peach blossoms 🌸 create a stunning view! Guoguo Tang Big Bend A landmark of the Yarlung Tsangpo River, shaped like a cute lollipop~ The viewing platform overlooks banana groves and the Yarlung Tsangpo River, perfect for photos! Galongla Snow Mountain Known as the “sacred mountain,” its summit is covered with ice and snow, truly breathtaking! 🏔 There is also the Galongla Heavenly Pool, crystal clear like a pearl, and the Galong Temple is worth a visit. Namjagbarwa Peak A steep triangular peak soaring into the clouds, offering a full visual impact! Mirage Viewing Platform Watch the sunrise 🌅 over the Yarlung Tsangpo River and the sea of clouds in Motuo, with panoramic views of the county town—an excellent vantage point. Gelin Village Motuo’s popular village on social media! It’s like a “paradise on earth” with spring-like weather all year round, the best spot to view Namjagbarwa Peak, and home to China’s tallest Bhutan pine. A must-visit! When you come to Motuo, you can’t help but exclaim, “There is such a beautiful place in the world!” 💖 Quickly bring your kids for an impromptu fairyland adventure!
