Every year from March to April, every traveler longing for spring is planning their trip and opening every travel app, Nyingchi always dominates the list of spring flower viewing destinations in China with an absolute advantage, and Bomi is an essential spot for peach blossom viewing on the way to Nyingchi.
While the whole of Tibet has not yet completely shed its winter snow, the peach blossoms in Nyingchi are already blooming brilliantly like brocade. Especially the peach blossoms in Bomi County, which are known as "the best in Nyingchi, and the crown of peach blossoms in eastern Tibet." Did you know? In 2016, the Bodui Peach Blossom Valley in Bomi County was even recognized by the Shanghai Great World Guinness Headquarters as "China's Largest Peach Blossom Valley"!
Imagine, within the Bodui Peach Blossom Valley, a 30-kilometer stretch of peach blossoms in full bloom, it's just like a fairyland on earth. There are 9 concentrated peach blossom areas here, with more than 200,000 wild peach trees, about 70% of which are around 360 years old. Even more interesting is that it includes the largest peach tree in Nyingchi, with a breast diameter of 1.4 meters and an age of over 680 years, still thriving with lush branches and leaves.
So, if you want to enjoy the most beautiful peach blossoms, Nyingchi Bomi is definitely your best choice! The peach blossoms here are set against snow-capped mountains, rapeseed flowers, wheat fields, and villages, forming a series of picturesque and beautiful scenes.

Bomi Renqing Inn Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
Linzhi enjoys the Spring Raiders: live here to see Jinshan Xuefeng Bomi Peach Blossoms
Tonight we are staying at the Bajia Village of Bozhigang Township, Linzhi, Tibet, which is known as the Oriental Little Switzerland. It is at the foot of the famous Gang Spruce Forest. Living on the peninsula in the center of the river, the window reveals the clear river and the white goddess snow-capped mountains, and the peach blossoms in the courtyard are also intoxicated and fragrant.
This is the most beautiful scenery, and the two-night booking is the view room of the best inn "Renqing Inn". For this reason, Blue Lotus specially booked a house a month ago. When she did not want to come, she was told that the viewing room was occupied by the guests who refused to check out.
The friends had to be dispersed in the four places and stay back together tomorrow. As a business inn should be the first criterion of CIGNA to be too bad, its ability to mediate customer demand disputes is also doubtful.
However, Renqing hardware is really better than others, and it is also very special. The two days of staying here are very beautiful, sleeping to see the snow peaks, drinking tea to see the snow peaks, and eating to see the snow peaks. Photographs of Tibetan costumes are also provided free of charge.
Big guys shoot sunset Jinshan during the day, wearing a variety of Tibetan clothes provided by the inn. In the evening, drinking small wine in the corridor, eating yak jerky and snacks, smashing the mountains, watching the sky full of stars and quietly reluctant to sleep... The soft service needs to be upgraded.
[Accommodation experience]
Renqing Inn Excellent location, very Tibetan style, large courtyard, room features, complete facilities, large amount of hot water, providing Tibetan Take photos, provide pasta for breakfast, limited supply during dry season, network signal is very bad
Traveling is to make happiness with friends. This is our happy barbecue in Bomi, from the afternoon until the evening, it is so easy and fun to travel without a trip. Because the inn often provides barbecue to the guests, everything is complete. We buy the ingredients and handle it ourselves. This process is also very fun. The first time we deal with the barbecue materials so seriously, we finally come to the conclusion that we are quite professional. Do you want to consider everyone sharing a booth together?
All the barbecue skewers are our own skewers. Do you think they are quite professional? Pay attention to the pork in the middle. Is it very fat? At the beginning, this is our most disgusting, but then it is finished. After that, this pork belly is the best to eat, it is not fat and very fragrant.
Because everyone is from different places, there are Guangdong in the northeast and Fujian in Zhejiang. At this time, the difference in diet will be found. There are so many stories about barbecue, but the joy is always.
The reason why Renqing Inn is popular is not only because of its good location, but also because the boss has made the inn very beautiful, the flowers in the yard are very happy, and the flowers are lined with flowers on both sides of the house. Every day, like living in the garden, it is pleasing to the eye, and the mood is natural. The hidden clothes in the inn are also provided to you free of charge. You can experience a Tibetan dress. It is also suitable to take pictures in the inn. Many places are full of Tibetan cultural elements, and the photos are also very good.
Inn is also the base for self-driving tour. Many of these flags can be seen in the inn. They are all flags of organizing gangs. It is obvious that this inn is indeed a red hotel on the 318 line, which is very popular. The night view of the inn is also very beautiful. There are many plants. There are lights outside the house, and the structure of the floor is open. Every night there is a bonfire party, surrounded by bonfire jumping pots, there will be people in the inn to jump with everyone, although some difficult to learn, but what is necessary is an atmosphere, everyone participates in it, playing very happy.
This is the case in Bomi, although the altitude is very low, but you can see a lot of snow-capped mountains. There are many snow-capped mountains in the inn. The inn is backed by mountains, and the front view is very wide. It is the Palung Zangbo River and the canyon. It is all snow-capped mountains. No matter where you look up, you can see the beautiful scenery of the snow-capped mountains. The weather conditions in the inn for three days are still not particularly good, but there are also opportunities to see the snow-capped mountains in different states.
Snow Mountain is the longing for the heart, especially in such a close proximity to the snow-capped mountains, just like the forests living in the world, the original natural state, the body and mind have been relaxed.
I like to sit on the balcony outside the room, watching the scenery in the distance, the snow-capped mountains are changing, the clouds are surging, drinking a cup of coffee, and the leisurely afternoon is like this.

Gala Village | Encountering the Most Beautiful Peach Blossoms Beneath the Snowy Mountains
Encountering the Most Beautiful Peach Blossoms Beneath the Snowy Mountains. Gala Village is acclaimed as 'The Number One Peach Blossom Village' in Nyingchi. Every spring, the peach blossoms here bloom competitively, forming a dazzling and colorful pink ocean. Visitors can not only enjoy the charming peach blossoms but also appreciate the magnificent snowy mountain scenery, and experience the charm of Tibetan song and dance as well as handicrafts.
In the distance, the pristine snowy mountains stand quietly; nearby, peach blossoms quietly bloom on the drooping branches. Under the peach trees, rapeseed flowers bloom, forming a golden expanse. The white snowy mountains, pink peach blossoms, and yellow rapeseed flowers complement each other, creating a fresh and romantic spring painting.
Ascending the viewing platform, as the altitude climbs, the splendid scene of spring blossoms comes into view. Wild peach blossoms grow unrestrained among the fields of rapeseed flowers, dancing with the wind. On the distant roads, vehicles occasionally pass by; on the nearby paths, tourists stroll leisurely. The perfect combination of motion and stillness adds vividness and vitality to this spring painting.
Although the peach blossoms bloomed a bit later this year, in Gala Village, we can still enjoy the beauty of the peach blossoms beneath the snowy mountains. Despite the weather not being as expected, surprises are always on the way, and every departure is full of meaning. I hope you can also encounter a splendid spring!

Midui Glacier Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
Tibet's stunning glaciers!
Tibet's stunning glaciers!
I went there early in the morning on a sunny day. After registering the vehicle, I drove in. The journey was also very beautiful. It didn't take long to walk from the parking area to reach the vast ice lake and blue ice field. The innermost row of blue ice walls couldn't be approached; there were warning lines and guards. The glacier is very large, and it looks different from afar and up close. The smaller piece on the right side of P1 looks like marble patterns from a distance, with beautiful blue and white waves, but as you get closer, the color fades and is not as distinct.
Midui Glacier, I went there the afternoon before, arriving around 4 PM. It took over half an hour to get there by electric shuttle and on foot (a bit breathless), and it was after 5 PM by the time I saw the large ice lake. The sunlight was no longer strong, and there were blue glaciers in the distance, but there wasn't enough time to get closer (the last shuttle down the mountain was at 6 PM)... It wasn't as impressive as coming to ancient times. I wonder if it would be more beautiful if the weather was good and there was enough time~
I find it amazing that these glaciers will melt by March/April.
The lowest altitude glacier in the world, beautiful and freezing--Midui Glacier
The Midui Glacier, one of the most beautiful glaciers in China, is only 8 kilometers away from the 318 National Highway and is easily accessible. It is also one of the most beautiful glaciers in our country. Midui Glacier is a typical representative of the maritime glaciers in southeastern Tibet, with a main peak altitude of 6800 meters and a snow line altitude of only 4600 meters. It shines with snow all year round and has a magical and charming scenery. Here, glaciers, lakes, farmland, villages, forests, etc. are integrated, the glaciers are as pure as jade, the scenery is beautiful, the shapes are different, and the beauty is intoxicating. The lower end of the glacier is a needle-broadleaf mixed forest land, with snow all year round and lush forests all year round. It is a model of harmonious coexistence between man and nature and an excellent place for tourism.
There are two ways to get to the viewing platform. You can choose to ride a horse or choose to walk like me. If you walk, you can see a lot of different scenery and various small animals.
【Stunning Tibet - Midui Glacier】
🎥 The southwest monsoon blowing from the Indian Ocean can go north along the Yarlung Zangbo River and Parlung Zangbo River valleys, deep into this series of mountains, bringing a large amount of precipitation. Thus, around a snow peak of 6385 meters above sea level behind a Tibetan village called Midui, a magnificent spirit was born - the 【Midui Glacier】.
🌊 Midui Glacier is located within the jurisdiction of Yupu Township, Bomi County, 103 kilometers from the county seat, 8 kilometers from National Highway 318, and the nearest village is only 2 kilometers away. It is one of the most important maritime glaciers in Tibet. Midui Glacier, known as the "blue gem" of Tibet, is a pearl on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. Midui Glacier is one of the most beautiful glaciers in China selected by China National Geographic.
🗻 Midui Glacier is also famous for its huge scale. It is 15 kilometers long and is one of the largest valley glaciers in the world. The main peak of the glacier is 6800 meters above sea level, the snow line is only 4600 meters above sea level, and the eastern part of Midui Glacier is formed by a world-class ice waterfall, each waterfall is more than 800 meters high and more than 1000 meters wide, and there is a primitive forest between the two waterfalls.
🎀 Due to the influence of the glacier, this area has abundant precipitation and a humid climate, forming a dense forest, which is a natural "biological museum". The lower end of the glacier is a needle-broadleaf mixed forest land, with snow all year round, lush forests all year round, wrapped in a silver scarf, and wearing a green skirt. Here, glaciers, lakes, farmland, villages, forests, etc. blend together, which is a model of harmonious coexistence between man and nature.
🏞 "Midui Village" is the most beautiful village under the glacier. The village raises a large number of horses. Some of these horses are used for tourist sightseeing riding, and the other part is leisurely eating grass between the villages, blending with this quaint village. Winding into the stream, the scenery in the ditch is extraordinarily beautiful, and the snow-capped mountains, glaciers, countryside, and villages are wonderfully combined, just like a paradise.
🌇 Midui Glacier is really beautiful. Under the sun, it is like a white dragon winding between the valleys, with a majestic momentum. The red mountain in front and the silver snow mountain behind are reflected in each other, and the visual impact under the blue sky and white clouds is very strong.
🌠 Through the telephoto lens, we can see those huge ice bodies on the mountain being eroded by wind and snow, or falling freely. The glacier is cut into ravines and broken, full of scars, which is spectacular.
🎪 Midui Glacier has now become one of the important tourist attractions on the National Highway 318 Sichuan-Tibet line. If you drive into Tibet by yourself, don't miss this once-in-a-lifetime check-in point when you pass by here. Remember to bring a telephoto lens, it will surprise you...

Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
Yarlung Zangbo, you are in the middle of autumn. With a total length of 504.6 kilometers and an average depth of 2268 meters, the Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon is the world's largest canyon. It is known as the "last human myth" and is regarded by scientists as "the keyhole that opens the door to the history of the earth." In the Tibetan language, Yaru refers to the sky from the sky. The autumn colors of
Yaluzang are very charming. Every year in late October, the golden and dark green leaves are intertwined, like a painting that attracts many photographers.
Today's weather is not ideal. After an afternoon, although I can't see the whole picture of Mount Kinabalu, I can still see the main peak of Mount Nanga Bawa. Waiting, just because it is worth it.
The Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon, the deepest canyon in the world, is called the last secret on the earth. It has both the harsh and cold of the Himalayas and the warmth of the Amazon River. When you visit the Grand Canyon with the scenic car, you will arrive first. In the Love Square, you can see that the distant Nanjia Bawa Peak is like a shy girl who is finally unveiled, and the huge triangular peaks are clearly visible. The height of 7782 meters in Nanga Bawa is also proud of the world. Geographers like to analyze the peculiarity of Nanga Bawa from a scientific point of view. The Tibetans think it is a holy place and call it "the mountain." "As a general tourist, I just sigh for the beauty of its masculine beauty. The peaks of the triangle are vigorous and powerful, and the king is demeanor."
The Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon is the formation of the Himalayas movement and the rushing of the river. After passing through two high valleys at an altitude of over 6,000 meters, it forms a peculiar U-shaped turn around the Nanga Bawa Peak, and the American branch. The Grand Canyon is exactly the same, but it is longer and deeper.
[Tips]
Transportation and tickets: The scenic spot is very large and there is no public transportation. So if you want to visit the Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon, you can only participate in the tour or chartered car. You can usually travel in Lhasa or Linzhi. The group, the group price generally includes tickets.
Diet: There are restaurants in the scenic spot, most of them are opened by Sichuanese. The taste is not bad
Note: Although the altitude is not too high, about 2880 meters, but after all, it is a plateau area, pay attention to high anti.
It is really very beautiful

Summer is the rainy season in Tibet, and the mysterious snow-capped Mount Namcha Barwa in Nyingchi is often obscured by clouds, but during the National Day period in October, the rainy season in Tibet has passed, and Mount Namcha Barwa reveals its summit more frequently, so there is a great chance of witnessing the spectacle of the mountain bathed in golden sunlight🌞.
