[2025 Motuo Attraction] Travel Guide for Motuo Museum (Updated Mar)

#Sign up for February Hotel Test Sleeper 2025 In the basement of the Pai Town Tavern, we found the remains of past travelers who had traveled through Medog: a hand-drawn map from 1987, a broken hiking pole, and a diary filled with confessions. The boss asked me to pick an item to add to the display. I chose a half-box of damp matches and wrote on the lid: "Some fires should never be lit."

Before coming to Tibet, there was a mysterious place that always attracted me That is the mysterious Medog I've seen a lot of documentaries and guides I really want to see it with my own eyes, so we came 🚗Self-drive route: 116 kilometers from Bomi to Medog After passing through the Galongla Tunnel, it takes more than 3 hours to arrive I originally thought that when we passed through the tunnel, we would see another primitive world, but it turned out to be a vast expanse of white Because the fog was too thick, the visibility was less than 5 meters haha After that, going downhill, we found that beyond the clouds indeed lies a forest canyon There are several waterfalls, all with viewing platforms, and it's easy to park And the best scenery is felt along this road experiencing the world-class highway drop of more than 3000 meters 🌳Because the surprise you're looking forward to might just be in front of you Following the Medog road all the way down, the altitude gets lower and lower We will see waterfalls, forests, canyons, lakes, villages Finally arriving at Medog County, this county town that has everything Main attractions: ✅Galongla Glacier, located just above the tunnel, surprisingly there is a green area under the glacier ✅Renqingbeng Monastery: Said to be the most popular temple in Medog, hidden in the subtropical jungle, unfortunately, we didn't go because of the heavy rain ✅Lotus Pavilion: The highest point in the county town, it is a museum for understanding the history and cultural heritage of Medog ✅Guoguotang Big Turn: The road is currently under construction 🚧, you need to buy a ticket for 60 and take a local's 🏍️ to get there, we didn't go either ✅Gelin Village: Also the best place to view the Namjagbarwa Peak! However, it's difficult to see during this season In fact, in Medog, you can only see all the beautiful scenery within two days if you are extremely lucky 🍀, because the transportation is inconvenient and it's very hidden, there are many legends about this place! We have regrets this time, and can only look forward to meeting again next time ‼️Self-drive tips: ·Bring your border pass and ID card ·Don't drive fast on narrow roads, often encountering large trucks ·Accommodation in Medog county town is relatively expensive, it's best to book in advance, there are many Sichuan restaurants, because there are many Sichuan people here ·Entry on even-numbered days and exit on odd-numbered days of the month ·The best route time should be from March to May

Tibet Medog | A must-visit lotus wonderland (with a 4-day and 3-night strategy)|||"There is only one Medog in the world, and Medog has the whole world." 🚗Four-day three-night itinerary recommendation Day1: Bomi - Gawalong Snow World - Galongla Tunnel - Gang Spruce Forest - Medog - Lotus Park Day2: Medog - Mirage - Renqingbeng Monastery - Renqingbeng Kora - Medog Day3: Medog - Gelin Village - Piaomiao Tea Garden Viewpoint Day4: Sunrise at Piaomiao Tea Garden Viewpoint - Derung Village, the first village on the border - Gelin Village - Guoguotang Big Bend - Medog Museum - Medog ❗️❗️❗️Medog currently has a double-entry single-exit system That is, even-numbered days are for entering Medog, and odd-numbered days are for leaving Medog (the last time to enter Medog through Galongla Tunnel is 13:30, and the latest time to leave Medog town is 11:00, these two times are very important) 🏞️Attraction recommendations: 1️⃣Gawalong Snow World: A scenic spot before entering the Galongla Tunnel, where the snow is thick, suitable for snowball fights, and you can also ride snowmobiles (100r for two laps), and it's a great place for taking photos📸 2️⃣Gang Spruce Forest After exiting the Galongla Tunnel, the cedar trees look very beautiful after the snow, with snow-capped mountains🏔️ in the background, truly outshining Erbin (If it snows, it is recommended to leave Medog earlier to see the morning glow, the golden sunlight on the mountains, and the beautiful cedar trees) 3️⃣Mirage You can see the Medog county town and a sea of clouds, "half in the human world, half in a fairyland," but remember to check the sunrise time, as the glow will be gone if you go too late 4️⃣Renqingbeng Renqingbeng Monastery is currently under renovation and temporarily closed The kora path is right next to the Renqingbeng Monastery on the plank road, follow it, and it takes about 2h to complete the whole journey. Most of the people doing the kora are Tibetan compatriots, and the scenery is also very good, with many sacred traces along the way, it is recommended to take a walk 5️⃣Piaomiao Tea Garden Viewpoint You can photograph the golden sunlight on Mount Namjagbarwa🏔️, as well as see a sea of clouds, with hardly any tourists, and it's a shooting spot that hardly anyone knows about (Pay attention to the sunrise time on the second morning if you want to see the golden sunlight on Mount Namjagbarwa) 6️⃣Guoguotang Big Bend No need to say much about this, it's very famous, but currently, due to road construction, to go to Guoguotang you can only walk after crossing the bridge, or ride a motorcycle with a villager, about 6km away 7️⃣Medog Museum It's not big, and if you're quick, you can finish visiting in just over half an hour. It mainly introduces the customs of the Menba and Luoba ethnic groups, as well as the development history of Medog. The outdoor platform on the third floor also offers an overlook of the entire Medog county town ❗️❗️❗️Important notes: 1️⃣A border pass is required for Medog 2️⃣Self-drivers remember to bring anti-skid chains 3️⃣There are no chain hotels in Gelin Village, only homestays set up by local villagers, remember to book in advance 4️⃣Remember to do the Renqingbeng Kora clockwise
