We witnessed the golden sunrise on Mount Namjagbarwa at the free viewing spot

Free viewing spot. Mount Namjagbarwa is the highest mountain in Nyingchi, Tibet, with an elevation of 7782 meters, part of the Himalayas. Its massive triangular peak is covered with snow all year round and shrouded in clouds and mist, making it elusive and often referred to as 'Shy Girl Peak'. The golden sunrise on Mount Namjagbarwa is even rarer to encounter, especially during the season we visited. However, we were lucky. After visiting Lulang and on our way to Nyingchi, we thought we'd stop by, and unexpectedly, we saw it on our first try. It was very cold that day, but the atmosphere was great. A group of strangers gathered together at the Sejila Mountain Pass, nearly 5000 meters above sea level, our hands and mouths almost numb from the cold, ready to descend the mountain, and in an instant, as we turned around, we saw it (it appeared around 7:50 pm and lasted for about 15-20 minutes) - the golden sunrise on Mount Namjagbarwa!! Everyone couldn't help but cheer, the shouts echoed from the mountain top to the bottom, some were loudly venting, making wishes, and at that moment, as we looked at each other, I believe everyone had different thoughts, but the same feeling was: squatting for hours was worth it, and that moment felt warm on the 318 road because of the responding cheers Little tips: 1. Navigate to Sejila Mountain Pass, park at the roadside of the viewing platform (free), and the Sejila Mountain is right across the road, with a great spot for photography. However, it is very cold due to the high altitude, so remember to wear more, otherwise, you will really freeze, and those with altitude sickness should be cautious, as the mountain is difficult to climb (refer to the last two photos). You can also see the golden sunrise from the viewing spot (that day we wore base layers + down jackets + hardshell jackets and it was still cold). 2. The Sejila Mountain area is free, I'm not sure if it's because September is the off-season or if it's always free, other places like Sosong Village have been fenced off and charge a fee, so you can choose your location accordingly. 3. Remember to hold onto the prayer flag ropes when climbing the mountain, it's much easier and safer. Also, two-thirds of the way up the mountain is about right, there's a flatter spot where you can sit, rest, and set up a tripod. You can't go to the very top later, as staff will usher you away. Finally, I wish everyone good luck and hope you all get to experience it
