The upcoming season in Tibet is truly the pinnacle of flower viewing in China! 🌸 Who could resist such allure?
After all, in the land of Nyingchi, you will see vast expanses of peach blossoms blooming amidst the vast snow-capped mountains, glaciers, and forests, a sight that is rare elsewhere!
Just imagine, under the clear blue sky of the Namcha Barwa peak, by the rushing Yarlung Tsangpo River, the peach blossoms of Nyingchi are so splendidly colorful, spreading across the mountains and fields, striking your soul with the most primitive and dazzling beauty! 😍
Moreover, the beauty of Nyingchi is so bold and magnificent: glaciers, snow mountains, sand dunes, forests, river valleys, and countless cultural charms, Nyingchi is definitely a place you must visit this coming spring!
Want to know the best time to visit?
1. The blooming period of Nyingchi's peach blossoms is generally from March to April each year, with sporadic peach blossoms blooming against the cold wind in early March, and a large-scale bloom by the end of March.
2. The viewing spots for Nyingchi's peach blossoms are not just one or two places, but are scattered across a vast area, so the blooming period varies slightly from region to region.
3. I went there at the end of March, and I saw peach blossoms in different states in different areas, which was definitely a good time! 😎
Where to see the peach blossoms?
📍 Gala Peach Blossom Village: The main venue for the 'Peach Blossom Festival' in Nyingchi, closest to the city center.
📍 Bomi Peach Blossom Valley: A 5-hour drive from Nyingchi city center, it is the area with the most concentrated peach blossoms in Bomi County. The 318 National Road from Nyingchi to Bomi is super beautiful, don't miss it! A separate travel guide for Bomi will be released later.
📍 Suosong Village: A hidden gem in the Yarlung Tsangpo Grand Canyon, also the best spot to view the Namcha Barwa peak (location of the cover photo).
📍 Along the 318 Highway: There are also many sporadic peach blossoms, surprises everywhere! 😃
How to get to Nyingchi?
There are mainly three ways to reach Nyingchi:
4. Fly directly to Nyingchi. Nyingchi has an airport, and you can choose to fly directly from places like Chengdu and Chongqing, which is the most relaxed way; after arriving in Nyingchi, you can rent a car or drive yourself to tour the Nyingchi loop.
5. First get to Lhasa, then take the highway/railway to Nyingchi, about 4 hours by high-speed train.
6. 【Highly recommended‼️】 Enter Tibet via the G318 Sichuan-Tibet Highway or the G214 Yunnan-Tibet Highway, play all the way to Nyingchi, and finally arrive in Lhasa. That's the route I took, renting a car from Lijiang and spending 9 days to reach Lhasa, with stunning scenery along the way. Plus, March is the last window before the rainy season, so the snow-capped mountains are clearly visible, and it's off-season with fewer people, so I highly recommend this way! The last few photos in the notes show the scenery along the way, and a dedicated travel guide will be released later. 🚗✨
Where to stay?
During the Peach Blossom Festival, accommodation prices in Nyingchi city center and the Yarlung Tsangpo Grand Canyon (including a few places like Suosong Village) will skyrocket, so please be sure to book your itinerary in advance!
The blooming season is short, set off immediately! 🌸
In March last year, the village of Nyingchi Gala, the cold is not over, but it is already a sea of flowers. The snow peaks on both sides of the Niyang River Valley are snowy, and the peach blossoms are competing like drunken clouds. , the snow-capped mountains shine in the sun, the peach blossoms in the sun, yes, this is the beginning of a romantic season. People often say that Nyingchi is the south of Tibet and the Switzerland of China. I dare not agree. There is no magnificent snow-capped mountains in the south of the Yangtze River. Switzerland has no continuous sea of flowers, but in Nyingchi, it has it.
I have always thought that the peach blossoms of Nyingchi are similar to the peach blossoms we usually see, but they are very different. The peach blossoms of Nyingchi area are called "light walnut", also known as "Tibet peach", commonly known as "wild peach", and the tree is tall and blooming wild. The tree is tall and has a lifespan of more than 1,000 years. Its advantages are: drought resistance, drought resistance, disease resistance, longevity, strong results. The flowers are beautiful and can be seen. The fruit after the result is also rich in VC, rich in sugar, can make fruit, juice and so on. Nyingchi area peach blossom is a plateau peach blossom, so most of them are in the foot of the mountain peach blossom, the distance is snow peak, unique flavor.
The Tibetan village on both sides of the Palong Tibetan Bu River is scattered with countless wild mountain peach trees, stretching for dozens of kilometers. Compared with Gala Peach Blossom Village, this is a relatively small point, so there are not many people. This trip is at the time of peach blossoms and beautiful.
At the end of March and early April, the Sichuan-Tibet line is undoubtedly the most beautiful season. The peach blossoms of Nyingchi Bomi are in full bloom and the mountains are full of fields. It really deserves the reputation of '' Saiwai Jiangnan'. There are relatively many outdoor free-travel enthusiasts here, and the choice of food and lodging is relatively good.
Gala Peach Blossom Village: Every year from March to April, it is the season of Nyingchi Peach Blossom. In Gala Village, Gongbu Jiangda County, Milling County and Bomi County, there are countless peach blossoms in full bloom. The Nyingchi Peach Blossom Festival usually opens at the end of March. At that time, peach blossoms can be enjoyed in various areas of Nyingchi, and the time of flowering in different villages and regions is also different. Gala Peach Blossom Village is the main venue of the Peach Blossom Festival, and the flowering period is expected to be about 3.20~4.15. Tickets are required to enter the main venue, 30 yuan. Gala Taohua Village is known as "Nyingchi Peach Blossom First Village" is the best flower viewing place in Nyingchi, and many classic photos are taken here. The main venue has many peach blossom trees, and it is also very dense. The layers of peach blossom trees are stacked. The field in the middle also planted a large piece of rape blossoms. The golden rape blossoms are matched with pink peach blossoms, which is particularly beautiful. On the observation deck of the scenic spot, you can enjoy the blooming peach blossom sea, the rivers, villages and snow-capped mountains in the distance. Tibetan clothes are also provided for renting photos in the scenic area.
