The first time I learned about Medog was in Baby Annie's "Lotus"📖. This is also the hometown of Zhang Qiling. As the last county in China with access to roads🛣️, it is mysterious, pure, and a pure land transformed into the human world, which has always attracted me deeply. . Passing through the Galongla Tunnel🚇, it feels like you have entered another world. The altitude dropped by more than 3,000 meters. After passing through heavy clouds and fog☁️, you finally arrived at the secret land of lotus🪷. Here you will find dense vegetation and endless water flow💦, spanning the cold zone, temperate zone, Subtropical plants 🌳 can meet in the same sky in spring, summer, autumn and winter.

Winter in Tibet is mainly about seeing blue glaciers and golden mountains in the sun. So how do you play? 🚗🚗🚗Itinerary options: ✈️✈️✈️DAY1: Fly to Lhasa from all over the country (book tickets for Potala Palace and Jokhang Temple) Why do we need airplanes? ❗❗❗Answer: The direct flight time is short, and you can go directly to the hotel to rest after arriving in Lhasa. After arriving in Lhasa, you can book a diffuse oxygen hotel, order some milk tea and watch some TV series, and go out after you have a good rest. Remember, don't worry, hotels in Tibet are not expensive during the off-season. 🔴DAY2: One-day tour in Lhasa city Attractions→Potala Palace at 10am, came out just in time for lunch at 12pm, took a taxi to Yaowang Mountain for 50 yuan, → took pictures of reflections in the square. After the photo shoot, we returned to the hotel to rest. 🔴DAY3: One-day tour in Lhasa city.

I drove about 560 kilometers along the Yarlung Zangbo River in Tibet. For the other 15 kilometers that belong to the paid scenic area, I could only take a sightseeing bus, which cost a total of 240 yuan, of which 90 yuan was the sightseeing bus fee. The paid Yarlung Zangbo River Scenic Area is located in Pai Town, Milin County, Nyingchi Prefecture, and requires a sightseeing bus to visit. The sightseeing bus has 4 stops along the way, which I think is the most disappointing attraction. I was too lazy to take out my camera at these four stops. But Suosong Village on the north bank of the river is very beautiful when the peach blossoms are in full bloom, although I couldn’t see the entire Namjagbarwa Peak due to the weather. This attraction is included in the scenic area, but not included in the sightseeing bus route. This set of photos were all taken in Suosong Village. I believe that on a sunny day, it will be much more beautiful than it is now, and the peach blossoms will also set off Mount Namjagbarwa. In any case, Suosong Village is a place not to be missed when visiting the Yarlung Zangbo River, but it does make me feel a little unbalanced that you have to pay for it. #ChinaTravel #Tibet #Nyingchi #Yarlung Zangbo River #Mountain #Nangabawa Peak #Peach Blossom #Natural Journey #Natural Beauty

Namchabarwa is the highest mountain in Nyingchi City, Tibet, peak at 7,782 meters, and has the title of Father of Tibetan Mountains. The body of Nanga Bawa is covered with snow all year round and the clouds are lingering. It never reveals its true face easily, so it is also called Shy Girl Mountain in Chinese. We were really lucky this time. In the evening, the mountain peaks were still clouded and misty. When the sun set at 8:07 pm in the evening, all the clouds and mist were dispersed. We even saw the magnificent sight of that the golden sun shines on the mountain. It is said that this mountain range is like a girl lying down, from right to left are her head, chest and feet. The best view point is in Suosong Village in the Yarlung Zangbo River Gorge. There is a milk tea shop in the village. We just drank milk tea and watched all the mountains exposed. It was so shocking! #summervacation

I don't know when the "golden mountains in the sunshine" became so popular. It's as if you've wasted your time if you don't see them, and you'll be "avoiding the best." Aren't all those beautiful landscapes and happy moods more important than the golden mountains in the sunshine? Perhaps other itineraries are too short to appreciate it, but in my opinion, the golden mountains in the sunshine are the least important part of the Songtsam itinerary. The Nanga Parbat Mountain Lodge is the best viewing platform. You can sit by the window, watch the clouds rise and fall, eat apples, and chat. You can stroll in the back mountains and catch a glimpse of Nanga Parbat. You can get caught in a drizzle while painting Mani stones, and then suddenly the rain stops and a rainbow appears, which is very touching! I know the result is important, but the process, regardless of the result, is a practice. Those who live by the mountains, those who circumambulate the mountains for their faith, or the Tibetan people who live a plain life. These roads, which are more difficult for me than climbing to the sky, are the roads they walk every day. After the experience, when I see those mountains again, I will still ask Quncuo if I can climb up there in this way or that way. My wilderness survival skills have definitely improved.

A tropical wonder below the snow line. Originally seeking the last lotus sanctuary in Tibet, I instead encountered phoenix flowers blazing like a dimensional breakthrough in the heart of the Yarlung Tsangpo Grand Canyon! Thousand-year-old banyan trees drape their aerial roots like curtains, vibrant red kapok and milky wild orchids float in the mist. Tropical flower cascades pour from the 7,782-meter Namcha Barwa peak to the 800-meter canyon floor. This vertical 2,000-meter floral spectacle resembles jewels scattered during a goddess's toilette. 🌸 Highlights Latitude paradox: Snow-capped silver peaks, rainforest emerald screens, and fiery flower cascades in one frame—the most magical inverted vegetation phenomenon at 29° North! Hidden viewpoints: ①Guoguotang serpentine bend observation deck, where kapok flowers lick the jade river surface like tongues of flame ②Renqin Peng secret path, capturing the cross-latitude dialogue between alpine rhododendrons and tropical bananas in the elevation fault zone Light and shadow bonus: "Rainbow meets waterfall" performs daily at 15:00-17:00 in Beibeng Township (May-September), as sunlight penetrates the mist at Duoxiongla Mountain pass, creating a seven-colored light bridge plunging into Gelin Village's thousand-year-old tea gardens. 📍 Survival Tips Location: Medog County, Nyingchi City, Tibet (China's last county to get highway access) Flowering season: Low elevation areas April-May (peak phoenix flower season), high elevation areas June-July (green poppy blooming season) Survival route guide: ▫️Bomi Zhamu Town → Galongla Tunnel (life-or-death boundary) → 52 hairpin turns + 30 water crossings, only 4WD vehicles permitted during daylight ▫️Hikers need border permits, leech-proof gaiters + satellite phones, recommended to follow local Menba guides ▫️Daily limit of 300 people, secure access codes two weeks in advance via "Medog Tourism" WeChat official account 📸 Extreme Photography Guide 1. Rainforest suffocation effect: Use 12mm ultra-wide lens to shoot upward under vine domes, letting strangler fig root networks devour your frame 2. Floral fire consuming the river: Drone focus on kapok flowers falling to the river surface, capture fiery vortices with 4K slow motion 3. Sacred mountain revelation: Stake out Suosong Village cliff at dawn, waiting for the moment Namcha Barwa peak parts the clouds, letting golden light from the snow-capped summit ignite the flower sea below Finale: Extreme geographical folding, an experience limited to the brave! From May to July, a duet of fire and ice unfolds—wear short sleeves by day to admire phoenix flowers burning the river, bundle in down jackets by night to watch alpine rhododendrons kiss the snow. Bring altitude sickness medication and waterproof gear for this epic flower-seeking journey more mysterious than "Ghost Blows Out the Light"! ☠️ Blood and tears warning: No signal coverage from county town to Beibeng Township, 48-hour disconnection is normal; drone flying prohibited throughout the region (military restricted zone), violators immediately expelled; in Menba villages, never point at sacred mountains, bring hada scarves and pine branches as offerings to mountain deities.

🌟 Namcha Barwa One-Day Tour Guide | A Fairy's Encounter with the "Shy Mountain," Budget-Friendly and Instagrammable!🌟 Morning: Peak Views and Gorge Exploration 7:30–9:00 am: Sunrise over the Snow Mountain at Suosong Village - Must-do: Suosong Village offers the "best seats" for viewing Namcha Barwa. Just open your guesthouse window and you're practically face-to-face with the snow-capped peak! Wear a white dress and take photos in the barley fields to instantly transform into a "snow mountain sprite." If the clouds are too thick to see the summit, don't worry! Namcha Barwa is a bit of a "social recluse," rarely revealing itself. Imagine the "Shy Mountain" hiding bashfully behind the clouds—it's quite endearing. - Humorous Tip: Don't shout "Come out!" at the viewing platform, or the Tibetan grandmas might mistake you for a "mountain summoner"! 9:30–11:30 am: Thrilling Yarlung Tsangpo Grand Canyon - Guide: Take the scenic shuttle bus deep into the canyon to witness the Yarlung Tsangpo River "slicing" through the Himalayas! Check out the "Love Firmer than Stone" boulder (two rocks sandwiching a peach tree, with a love story even more dramatic than a soap opera). - Hidden Gem: Look for the prayer flags by the river. If you wish for "riches," whisper it, or the mountain gods might think you're too greedy! Lunch: Tibetan Culinary Delights 12:00–1:30 pm: Nourishing Lulang Stone Pot Chicken - Must-try: Lulang Town's stone pot chicken is slow-cooked in a Medog soapstone pot with Rhodiola rosea and Tibetan chicken, resulting in a soup so delicious it'll make your "eyebrows dance"! A small pot for CNY 288 is enough for three people. Remember to ask the owner for "two more slices of matsutake"—this local bargaining trick works like a charm! - Funny Advice: Don't ask for the "mildly spicy" option. Tibetan "mild" might be your "tear-jerking catalyst"! Snack Surprise: Grab some Tricholoma matsutake dipped in chili from a street vendor. It's as crispy as a potato chip, and they say eating a lot can turn you into a "snow mountain runaway princess" (but be careful not to breathe fire from the spice)! Afternoon: Snow Mountain Photos and Hidden Adventures 2:00–4:00 pm: Golden Mountain Sunset Preview at Zhibai Village - Photography Paradise: Just 5 km from Namcha Barwa, Zhibai Village offers a breathtaking view of the peak, like a "spear piercing the sky"! Pose by the river in a red cape, with your social media caption ready: "Dancing with the snow mountain today. This fairy requests permanent residency in the celestial realm!" - Money-Saving Tip: The scenic shuttle bus ticket includes the Zhibai Village stop. Don't let chartered drivers trick you into paying extra! 4:30–5:30 pm: Cloud Dancing at Sejila Mountain Pass - Guide: Drive or carpool to the 4,728-meter-high pass, take a photo with the "Must-Drive Highway 318" sign, and enjoy a panoramic view of Namcha Barwa's nine peaks. Is the wind strong enough to blow off your wig? Perfect for a "windswept fairy" photoshoot! - Soul-Searching Question: Oxygen tanks at the pass are more expensive than milk tea? Take a deep breath and tell yourself, "Altitude sickness, be gone!" Evening: Starry Hot Pot and Affordable Accommodation 6:00–7:30 pm: Tibetan BBQ at the Foot of the Snow Mountain - Recommended Experience: Backyard BBQ at a Tibetan home in Suosong Village, featuring yak meat, Tibetan pork, and barley wine. All-you-can-eat for CNY 80 per person! The owner might even burst into a Tibetan song, creating a more lively atmosphere than karaoke. Accommodation Recommendations: Budget-Friendly and Instagrammable "Fairy Nests" 1. Jimei Guesthouse in Suosong Village: CNY 150 per person, with floor-to-ceiling windows facing the snow mountain. The owner is a photography enthusiast and will teach you how to take "pretend you're in Iceland" photos for free! 2. "Snow Mountain Post" Youth Hostel: A backpacker's haven at CNY 60 per person. Listen to fellow travelers' stories at night—more thrilling than "The Lost Tomb"! Travel Tips: Stay Safe and Instagrammable 1. Sun Protection Trio: Hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen (the UV rays are strong enough to fry an egg, beware of getting three shades darker!). 2. Outfit Guide: Bright-colored dress + thick coat (large temperature differences in the mountains, you might be a fairy in the morning and an "icicle" in the afternoon). 3. Transportation Tip: A chartered car from Nyingchi to Suosong Village is about CNY 200 per car, or CNY 50 per person for a carpool. The driver can also double as a "wild tour guide." 4. Mystical Bonus: People born in the Year of the Snake get free admission on their birthday. Check your Household Registration (Hukou)!
