• Documents: Bring your ID card, border defense permit (if going to Medog, etc.), etc.

• Clothing: The temperature difference between day and night in Nyingchi in April is significant. Remember to pack a jacket, fleece, thermal underwear, thick coat, jeans, hat, scarf, gloves, etc. • Items: Prepare high-SPF sunscreen, sunglasses, moisturizing skincare products, lip balm, common medications (such as cold medicine, antipyretics, gastrointestinal medicine, anti-altitude sickness medicine, etc.), a thermos, hiking boots or comfortable shoes. Attraction Guide 📍Detailed address: • Yarlung Tsangpo Grand Canyon: Admire the magnificent view of Namcha Barwa. In April, peach blossoms are in full bloom, creating a picturesque scene against the backdrop of snow-capped mountains and the river. You can choose to hike or take the scenic sightseeing bus and take photos at the viewing platform. Tickets are around CNY 290. • Basum Tso: A sacred lake in Tibetan Buddhism, Basum Tso boasts emerald green water and an ancient temple on an island at its center. You can hike around the lake, take a boat tour, or simply relax by the lakeside. Tickets are around CNY 90. • Lulang Town: Surrounded by forests, Lulang offers Swiss-like scenery. Visit Tibetan villages, experience horseback riding and archery, and savor the local delicacy, stone pot chicken. The nearby Sejila Mountain is a landmark on the Sichuan-Tibet Highway. In spring, wildflowers bloom everywhere, and you can enjoy distant views of the forest and Namcha Barwa. • Kadinggou Scenic Area: Featuring the 200-meter-high Tianfo Waterfall and unique cliff formations on both sides of the canyon, Kadinggou is a place to appreciate the natural scenery and marvel at nature's wonders. Food Recommendations 🍽Dining recommendations: • Stone Pot Chicken: Slowly simmered in a stone pot from Medog, the chicken is tender and the soup is rich, often served with various mushrooms. • Tibetan Fragrant Pig: Known for its delicious meat, Tibetan fragrant pig can be roasted or stewed in soup. • Bahe Fish: The fish from the Ba River has tender and flavorful meat. • Specialty Staples: Butter tea, tsampa, barley cakes, Tibetan-style steamed buns, etc., offer a taste of the unique Tibetan culture. Accommodation Options 🛏Room facilities: • Nyingchi City: Offers a wide range of accommodation options with convenient transportation, shopping, and dining, such as the Nyingchi Crown Plaza Resort. • Lulang Town: Experience Tibetan-style hotels and guesthouses in a tranquil setting, such as the Nyingchi Poly Yatu Hotel. • Yarlung Tsangpo Grand Canyon (Suosong Village): Enjoy views of Namcha Barwa. The accommodation at Pingcuo Kangsang Xuelitaohua Resort (Suosong Namcha Barwa Branch) is quite good. Transportation Guide 🚉Transportation strategy: • External transportation: Fly directly to Nyingchi Mainling Airport; take a train from Lhasa to Nyingchi and enjoy the scenery along the way; or choose to self-drive on the scenic Lhasa-Nyingchi Expressway. • Internal transportation: Buses are available in the city and surrounding areas, but they are not very convenient for reaching scenic spots. You can hire a car, share a ride, or rent bicycles or electric scooters in the city. Important Notes⚠️ • Upon arrival in Nyingchi, take it easy and avoid strenuous activities to prevent altitude sickness. • Respect local customs and traditions, and show reverence for religious sites and cultural relics. • Protect the environment, do not litter, and do not damage the natural landscape. If you have enough time, you can plan a 4-6 day trip to explore the beauty of Nyingchi more thoroughly. Here is a 4-day itinerary for your reference: • Day 1: Lhasa - Gala Peach Blossom Village - Namcha Barwa - Suosong Village (sunset viewing). • Day 2: Suosong Village - Yarlung Tsangpo Grand Canyon - Sejila Mountain - Nyingchi. • Day 3: Nyingchi - Basum Tso. • Day 4: Basum Tso - Lhasa.
