SKYLER OSBORNE

I have finally arrived at the place I've dreamt of for so long! This is Motuo!

By chance, I came to Motuo. Motuo is the last county in China to be connected by a highway, with an altitude difference of over 7000 meters, and is extremely rich in natural resources. It is often said that 'There is only one Motuo in the world, and Motuo has the whole world'. To get to Motuo, one must travel through the Motuo Highway. Near the Galongla Tunnel on the road, it is still covered with snow and ice, a vast expanse of white. But once you cross over the Galongla Mountain, a lush greenery awaits, a completely different new world. The vegetation is rich, the rivers are rushing, and it feels more like being in the mountains of the south. I even saw banana trees on the road, which I found quite magical. I originally thought that the county town of Motuo would be quite old-fashioned, but the reality is completely different. The county is full of shops, brightly lit, bustling and lively, no different from any other city. Whether it's accommodation or dining, you can be satisfied. The surprises that Motuo brought me did not stop there. Here, I saw the great bend of the Yarlung Zangbo River from my childhood textbooks—the Guoguotang Great Bend. When the textbook images entered reality, I deeply understood the saying 'Reading thousands of books is like traveling thousands of miles'. I was in a hurry and did not take many photos. Except for the last one of the Guoguotang Great Bend, the rest of the photos were taken near the tourist center. It's okay, Motuo, we'll meet again next time!
