Clothing: The climate in Motuo is changeable, so you should bring quick-drying clothes, warm jackets (windbreakers are best), and raincoats to protect you from both rain and wind.

Medicines: cold medicine, antipyretic medicine, gastrointestinal medicine, anti-mosquito bite medicine (the mosquitoes in Medog are super "enthusiastic"), motion sickness medicine. Be prepared so that you can have fun with peace of mind. 4.

Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon: Standing on the observation deck, overlooking the Grand Canyon, the river roars like a giant dragon, the snow-capped mountains on both sides stand majestically, and the clouds and mist linger in between, like a fairyland. The sunlight penetrates the clouds and shines on the snow-capped mountains, emitting a golden glow, which is breathtakingly beautiful😍.

The timid ones may have their heartbeats speeded up. 2. Medog Tropical Rainforest: Stepping into the rainforest is like falling into the world of The Wizard of Oz🌳. Towering ancient trees block out the sun, vines entwine wildly, and all kinds of rare plants can be seen everywhere. You might even come across Alsophila spinulosa, a "living fossil of plants." Listen, the birds singing and the insects chirping are the symphony played by nature. You will pass by a group of waterfalls on the way, with splashing water and reflecting rainbows in the sun. Remember to take photos and check in, it is so beautiful. 3. Dexing Rattan Net Bridge: This is a unique cultural landscape in Medog.
