Milin Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
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.

A Feast for the Eyes! A Must-Visit Peach Blossom Utopia in March
Nyingchi in Tibet is known as the 'Jiangnan on the Roof of the World', and some say it is the place closest to heaven.
Nyingchi is located on the southeastern edge of the Himalayas, in a super large glacier area, with scenery so stunning it will make your eyes pop! The Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon, Namcha Barwa Peak, and the peach blossom valley in Mainling County all showcase the mystery and magnificence of the plateau. Standing on the edge of the canyon, looking up at the towering Namcha Barwa Peak, you will definitely marvel at the power of nature!
Complete Travel Guide to the Peach Blossom Festival in Nyingchi, Tibet! It was so impressive!
I recently went on a 6-day tour to Tibet! The main purpose was to see the peach blossoms in Nyingchi! But I went a bit early, and the peach blossoms were not in full bloom yet, though they were still beautiful! I've organized this guide for you! You can boldly and confidently go for it!
Nyingchi:
After arriving in Nyingchi, you can take some time to acclimate to the high-altitude climate. Rest flat in the hotel. Friends with good physical condition can also go to the center of Nyingchi city for a walk after landing!
Bomigala Peach Blossom Village:
This place is a famous peach blossom spot in Nyingchi~ Surrounded by mountains on three sides, the peach blossoms look incomparably beautiful against the backdrop of snow-capped mountains🏔️ and forests. Mid-March to mid-April is the peach blossom season in Nyingchi, so those who love peach blossoms under the snow mountains should remember to plan their time well!
Sejila Mountain Pass:
The scenery along the way is really too stunning, with the snow-capped mountains and the heavy snowfall, it's breathtaking! After reaching the Sejila Mountain Pass, you can look far into one of China's most beautiful peaks→Namcha Barwa! I'm really lucky! To be able to witness the beauty of the peak! It's an unforgettable experience in this lifetime
Guoxiang Lake:
This place really surprised me, it's a relatively lesser-known lake, but the water is clear and green, with several tall trees standing erect in the middle of the lake. Surrounded by the green water and snow-capped mountains🏔️, it gives the beautiful illusion of being transported to New Zealand~
Bomi Peach Blossom Valley:
Because we came early, the peach blossoms were not fully in bloom, but it had its own unique charm! This is where Peach Blossom Valley is, friends who like peach blossoms can wait for the weather to warm up a bit more before coming!
Basong Lake:
You can take a leisurely stroll, look at the lake, see the snow mountains, or choose to take a boat to enjoy the feeling of being surrounded by snow mountains~ This place is known as the 'Little Switzerland' of Tibet~
Lhasa:
The last stop is Lhasa!!
Since I've fully adapted to the high-altitude environment, there were no altitude sickness issues during the entire trip, and I ate and slept well~
In Lhasa, you can go for a city walk.
These are some places you can choose to visit!
→Barkhor Street: A place for prayer and a commercial center
→Yaowang Mountain Viewing Platform: Remember to bring 50 RMB
→Potala Palace, Jokhang Temple: No need to say much about these two places!!!
→Sera Monastery, Zaki Temple
I was on a group tour for the entire trip, and it was a pure play team, plus all the teammates were young people, so we had a great time together! The key is that I met many like-minded friends!!! Tibet! I will come again!
Tibet | Winter travel offers great value for money, and this is the real Tibet
🚗Some say, 'Tibet in July and August belongs to tourists, but only in winter can you see the real Tibet.' I didn't believe it until this winter when I came to Tibet. Indeed, there are many sceneries in winter that you can't see in summer, and I now believe the statement at the beginning. Since winter travel to Tibet is such a great value, what exactly can you see in Tibet during winter?
1. The Potala Palace is a destination many people aim for when visiting Lhasa. In winter, there's no need to queue, and admission is free (200y), with reservations available the day before. Plus, you can take both the east and west routes, which is perfect for those who want to delve deeper into Tibetan culture.
2. Watching migratory birds in Lhasa has become a new highlight of Lhasa tourism in winter. If you're lucky, you can also see the black-necked crane. In Longwangtan Park, at the foot of the Potala Palace, the figures of migratory birds can be seen everywhere.
3. The air in Tibet is clean in winter, and places like Namtso and Yamdrok Lake are excellent spots for stargazing.
4. Snow-capped mountains can be seen everywhere in the Tibetan region in winter, but it doesn't feel cold when the sun is out during the day.
5. Mount Namjagbarwa in Nyingchi, known as the 'Shy Girl Peak,' is often shrouded in clouds and mist. But in winter in Tibet, there's a high chance of seeing the golden sunlight on Mount Namjagbarwa.
6. Appreciating blue ice is an essential part of 'winter travel in Tibet.' In winter, Puma Yumco, Ranwu Lake, Namtso, Yamdrok Lake, and Basum Lake offer unique scenery. The lakes freeze over, and the sunlight reflects off the bottom of the lake, creating blue ice and emerald ice, like something out of a fairy tale.
7. If you like the outdoors, you don't need to go to Alaska or Iceland to experience magnificent glaciers. The Renlongba Glacier, Laigu Glacier, Midui Glacier, and Qudenima Glacier are well worth a visit.
8. Tibet is rich in geothermal resources, with hot springs like Yangbajing, Dezhong, Riduo, Woka, and Quzika, making winter hot springs in the snow land something to look forward to.
9. If you happen to catch the Tibetan New Year, various folk festivals and cultural activities centered on the 'Tibetan New Year,' such as the Butter Lamp Festival, Fairy Festival, and Lantern Festival, are colorful and exciting. Especially this year, as the Lunar New Year and the Tibetan New Year joyfully 'meet,' visitors to Tibet can experience the New Year on the snow-covered plateau, feel the bustling atmosphere of the Tibetan people preparing for the New Year at the Lhasa Chongsaikang market, and experience Tibetan New Year customs at homestays like Deji Tibetan Home.
🚗Precautions
1. The oxygen is relatively thin in winter, so pay more attention to altitude sickness, and don't drink alcohol after arriving!
2. In winter, there are fewer people in the small cities of the Tibetan region, so if you're not familiar with the road conditions, it's best to travel with a group.
3. The outdoor attractions depend on the weather, so keep a calm attitude, as long as you are safe, that's good.
4. There's a big temperature difference, so pay attention to keeping warm and preventing cold.
Tibet is back, travel guide for the Linzhi Lai Gu line
🏆Route section:
The first day: Depart from Lhasa → Niyang River Wetland Fairyland → Magnificent spectacle of Namjagbarwa Peak → Arrive at Suosong Village (For friends who suffer from altitude sickness on higher altitude sections, please prepare glucose or corresponding medicines in advance. The accommodation experience in Suosong Village is decent, not as luxurious as in the city, but has its own charm. Pay attention to keeping warm in winter and avoid bathing to prevent catching a cold! Thermometer💪Glacier medicine box)
The second day: Explore the Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon → Check in at the Buddha Palm Sand Dune (The backstory is very interesting, a good place for taking photos, the scenery is relatively ordinary but still a sight to see) → Leisurely travel to Bomi
The third day: Depart from Bomi → Ranwu Lake like a poetic painting → Visit the mysterious and spectacular Laigu Glacier (Getting up early is wise, as the wind gets stronger and colder after noon, you can choose to ride a horse or hike for the adventure, Laigu Glacier is definitely a visual feast! Snowy mountains and glaciers🐎)
The fourth day: Depart from Bomi again → Pass by the tranquil hometown lake → Challenge the 4700 meters high Sejila Mountain (Occasionally encounter cute monkeys on the mountain top, remember to bring some snacks to feed them; if you encounter a snowy landscape, it is an excellent opportunity for photography, and with great luck, you may even have a distant view of Namjagbarwa Peak! Snowy mountains monkey group snowflakes❄️)
The fifth day: Depart from Linzhi → Enjoy a trip to Basong Lake (Regrettably did not reach the new lake, which is hidden deep in Basong Lake, requiring another hour's drive, the ticket is free, only a 10 yuan sanitation fee is charged, you can walk or ride a motorcycle, immerse yourself in the fresh air and lush greenery, forest oxygen bar🌿)
🌡️Temperature tip: The temperature in February is still acceptable, except for the Laigu Glacier which is colder, other places are fine to cope with.
🌸March Peach Blossom Festival reminder: Friends who go to Linzhi to enjoy the Peach Blossom Festival in March, please note that the cost may be slightly higher, the leader revealed that accommodation is extremely tight, be sure to book hotels in advance. On 3.26, the Holy Elephant Gate will open, each season has its beauty, and the scenery along the way is also a captivating painting!
🚗Travel method suggestion: If you have companions and sufficient time, it is recommended to charter a car or self-drive to enjoy the scenery along the way at your own pace, stopping wherever you like.
About altitude sickness: Although I do not suffer from altitude sickness, for companions who do, it is a good choice to prepare glucose and adapt in Lhasa for two days. For minor discomfort, there is no need to rush to oxygen, consider oxygen only if really uncomfortable, and you can go to the hospital to get related medicines. Do not bathe, drink alcohol, or go clubbing upon first arriving in Lhasa, maintain sufficient good sleep, which helps to better adapt to the altitude sickness environment.
💕Solo travelers need not worry, you will surely encounter many like-minded new friends on the journey. Wishing every traveler a pleasant and unforgettable trip to Tibet! Encounter beauty🌈

Suosong Village Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
Namchabarwa, hardest to see the panorama
Namchabarwa is the highest mountain in Nyingchi City, Tibet, peak at 7,782 meters, and has the title of Father of Tibetan Mountains. The body of Nanga Bawa is covered with snow all year round and the clouds are lingering. It never reveals its true face easily, so it is also called Shy Girl Mountain in Chinese. We were really lucky this time. In the evening, the mountain peaks were still clouded and misty. When the sun set at 8:07 pm in the evening, all the clouds and mist were dispersed. We even saw the magnificent sight of that the golden sun shines on the mountain. It is said that this mountain range is like a girl lying down, from right to left are her head, chest and feet. The best view point is in Suosong Village in the Yarlung Zangbo River Gorge. There is a milk tea shop in the village. We just drank milk tea and watched all the mountains exposed. It was so shocking!
#summervacation
Do not come to Sosong Village in Linzhi, Tibet! Otherwise
Otherwise, you will definitely be dazzled by its beauty!
★Please recommend to big data to find travel companions for Tibet from July to September!
❷Tibet is very popular during the summer, and Linzhi is truly a hidden gem! I highly recommend everyone to explore Sosong Village by the Yarlung Tsangpo River, avoiding the traditional tourist hotspots. It's a completely different experience: no need to rush for sightseeing and photo ops, just quietly enjoy the mornings and evenings of Sosong, listen to the roar of the Yarlung Tsangpo River, watch the sunlight gilding the peaks of Namjagbarwa, and it will surely become a beautiful memory of your trip.
Chen stayed in Sosong Village, Linzhi, Tibet for three days and two nights, staying at the best scenic location in Sosong Village, Namjagbarwa Mountain Residence, and dining at the hotel's Nanfeng Huayin Restaurant, with the best view of Namjagbarwa Peak.
During the stay, I was lucky enough to see the sunlight gilding the peaks, which was spectacular! It's like a real-life Shangri-La. The restaurant has delicious Tibetan pork, dry pot ribs, shredded potatoes, and fish-flavored shredded pork. Every day, after eating and drinking to my heart's content, I would relax in the hotel courtyard, not caring about anything else. I didn't want to leave this comfortable life at all, and I highly recommend this accommodation!
Touring Tips:
1. The altitude from Linzhi to Sosong Village will rise from 2800 meters to 3500 meters, be aware of altitude sickness at all times.
2. There is a big temperature difference between morning and evening, so be sure to add clothes.
3. Nanfeng Huayin Restaurant is highly recommended for their boiled yak meat and yak meat mushroom soup pot. The locally sourced fresh yak meat is full of flavor, and once you start eating, you can't stop.
Sosong Village Photo Shoot | The peach blossoms were not in bloom, so we went to the Buddha Palm Dunes
The peach blossoms in Sosong Village are blooming too late this year.
Mount Namjagbarwa is also often shy to show its face.
So we went to the Buddha Palm Dunes.
You can navigate to the Buddha Palm Dunes from Nyingchi to Sosong Village.
🔔🔔🔔Tips:
The wind is relatively mild in the morning,
which is convenient for shooting.
🎫🎫🎫Ticket: 30 yuan
The peach blossoms in Sosong Village are expected to be in full bloom in about 5-7 days.
Currently, there are some peach blossoms in Tunbai Village.
Looking forward to the most beautiful spring in the Grand Canyon.

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.

After arriving in Nyingchi, you can take some time to acclimate to the high-altitude climate. Rest flat in the hotel. Friends with good physical condition can also go to the center of Nyingchi city for a walk after landing!
Bomigala Peach Blossom Village:
This place is a famous peach blossom spot in Nyingchi~ Surrounded by mountains on three sides, the peach blossoms look incomparably beautiful against the backdrop of snow-capped mountains🏔️ and forests. Mid-March to mid-April is the peach blossom season in Nyingchi, so those who love peach blossoms under the snow mountains should remember to plan their time well!
Sejila Mountain Pass:
The scenery along the way is really too stunning, with the snow-capped mountains and the heavy snowfall, it's breathtaking! After reaching the Sejila Mountain Pass, you can look far into one of China's most beautiful peaks→Namcha Barwa! I'm really lucky! To be able to witness the beauty of the peak! It's an unforgettable experience in this lifetime
Guoxiang Lake:
This place really surprised me, it's a relatively lesser-known lake, but the water is clear and green, with several tall trees standing erect in the middle of the lake. Surrounded by the green water and snow-capped mountains🏔️, it gives the beautiful illusion of being transported to New Zealand~
Bomi Peach Blossom Valley:
Because we came early, the peach blossoms were not fully in bloom, but it had its own unique charm! This is where Peach Blossom Valley is, friends who like peach blossoms can wait for the weather to warm up a bit more before coming!
Basong Lake:
You can take a leisurely stroll, look at the lake, see the snow mountains, or choose to take a boat to enjoy the feeling of being surrounded by snow mountains~ This place is known as the 'Little Switzerland' of Tibet~
Lhasa:
The last stop is Lhasa!!
Since I've fully adapted to the high-altitude environment, there were no altitude sickness issues during the entire trip, and I ate and slept well~
In Lhasa, you can go for a city walk.
These are some places you can choose to visit!
→Barkhor Street: A place for prayer and a commercial center
→Yaowang Mountain Viewing Platform: Remember to bring 50 RMB
→Potala Palace, Jokhang Temple: No need to say much about these two places!!!
