Spring Romance in Flower Viewing: The Dreamy Wonderland of Nyingchi
Spring in Nyingchi is hailed as the 'Jiangnan on the Roof of the World', where the city is poetically and dreamily adorned in pink peach blossoms! Flower viewing in Nyingchi during spring is a romantic encounter with peach blossoms, so beautiful that it makes you linger and forget to return!
A Tibetan-style resort in the urban area of Nyingchi offers an elegant environment and complete facilities.

The second day: Explore the Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon → Check in at the Buddha Palm Sand Dune (The backstory is very interesting, a good place for taking photos, the scenery is relatively ordinary but still a sight to see) → Leisurely travel to Bomi
The third day: Depart from Bomi → Ranwu Lake like a poetic painting → Visit the mysterious and spectacular Laigu Glacier (Getting up early is wise, as the wind gets stronger and colder after noon, you can choose to ride a horse or hike for the adventure, Laigu Glacier is definitely a visual feast! Snowy mountains and glaciers🐎)
The fourth day: Depart from Bomi again → Pass by the tranquil hometown lake → Challenge the 4700 meters high Sejila Mountain (Occasionally encounter cute monkeys on the mountain top, remember to bring some snacks to feed them; if you encounter a snowy landscape, it is an excellent opportunity for photography, and with great luck, you may even have a distant view of Namjagbarwa Peak! Snowy mountains monkey group snowflakes❄️)
The fifth day: Depart from Linzhi → Enjoy a trip to Basong Lake (Regrettably did not reach the new lake, which is hidden deep in Basong Lake, requiring another hour's drive, the ticket is free, only a 10 yuan sanitation fee is charged, you can walk or ride a motorcycle, immerse yourself in the fresh air and lush greenery, forest oxygen bar🌿)
🌡️Temperature tip: The temperature in February is still acceptable, except for the Laigu Glacier which is colder, other places are fine to cope with.
🌸March Peach Blossom Festival reminder: Friends who go to Linzhi to enjoy the Peach Blossom Festival in March, please note that the cost may be slightly higher, the leader revealed that accommodation is extremely tight, be sure to book hotels in advance. On 3.26, the Holy Elephant Gate will open, each season has its beauty, and the scenery along the way is also a captivating painting!
🚗Travel method suggestion: If you have companions and sufficient time, it is recommended to charter a car or self-drive to enjoy the scenery along the way at your own pace, stopping wherever you like.
About altitude sickness: Although I do not suffer from altitude sickness, for companions who do, it is a good choice to prepare glucose and adapt in Lhasa for two days. For minor discomfort, there is no need to rush to oxygen, consider oxygen only if really uncomfortable, and you can go to the hospital to get related medicines. Do not bathe, drink alcohol, or go clubbing upon first arriving in Lhasa, maintain sufficient good sleep, which helps to better adapt to the altitude sickness environment.
💕Solo travelers need not worry, you will surely encounter many like-minded new friends on the journey. Wishing every traveler a pleasant and unforgettable trip to Tibet! Encounter beauty🌈

Nyingchi: A Peach Blossom Paradise on the Snowy Plateau
In the distant snowy plateau, there is a land blessed by the heavens, which is Nyingchi, Tibet, a place full of mystery and vitality. Nyingchi, known as the 'Jiangnan of Tibet', is praised for its clear mountains and rivers, mild climate, and distinct seasons, making it more like a magical oasis compared to other regions of Tibet.
In spring, when the peach blossoms are in full bloom, Nyingchi turns into a pink ocean. The beautiful scenery of the blooming peach blossoms not only attracts thousands of tourists but has also captivated countless poets and scholars. The great Tang Dynasty poet Du Fu once dreamed of the peach blossoms of Nyingchi in his poems, and though he never set foot there, his heart had already taken flight. Here, every peach blossom seems to tell an ancient tale, narrating the changes of history.
Nyingchi is not only enchanting for its natural landscapes but is also one of the important birthplaces of Tibetan culture. The legendary stories of Pangu creating the world and Shennong tasting hundreds of herbs have left deep marks here. The predecessor of the Potala Palace, Tsongzanlin Monastery, is located here, witnessing the prosperity and development of Tibetan culture. Walking through the streets and alleys of Nyingchi, one can feel the strong religious atmosphere and ethnic characteristics everywhere. Every temple, every prayer flag, and every scripture speaks of the devotion to faith.
The natural beauty of Nyingchi is even more astonishing. The Yarlung Tsangpo River meanders here, with undulating mountains and swirling clouds, resembling a natural ink painting. Along the Nyang River, wildflowers are everywhere, the grass is green, and yaks and sheep graze leisurely by the river, presenting a peaceful and harmonious pastoral life. Every scene here is like a painting meticulously arranged by nature, bringing peace of mind and making one forget the troubles of the world.

Heading towards the Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon, there will be a viewing platform on the way. This is where the Niyang River joins the Yarlung Zangbo River. The Niyang River is an important tributary of the Yarlung Zangbo River. Why is there a viewing platform here? There is a fantastic natural scene, the clear Niyang River and the turbid Yarlung Zangbo River meet, forming a very obvious junction zone. It can be clearly seen on the Yarlung Zangbo River. Half of the river is blue and half of the river is yellow. This is because the water density is not used. Caused by physical reasons.
I have seen the magical landscape of the Mississippi River and the Gulf of Mexico on the Internet. It is roughly the same reason. I saw this kind of landscape for the first time. I didnt expect it to be in Linzhi, but I also satisfied my curiosity. It is said that Chongqing Chaotianmen can also see such a scene. It is the place where the Yangtze River and the Jialing River meet. However, the weather was bad last time, and the boundary was not resolved.
Yangtiao is the Yarlung Zangbo River. The position to the left of the front is the entrance to the Niyang River. The Niyang River itself is very strange, the surrounding scenery is also very good, the scenery of the mountains is very beautiful. There are still a lot of tourists on the observation deck. There are many vendors selling fruit here, and there are quite a lot of fruits.
