LEVI MAXWELL

Is Motuo, recommended by Hu Ge, really worth visiting?

It was once the only county in China that required a ticket for entry, and it is also the last county in China to have roads built to it—Tibet's Motuo🏞️ How to get to Motuo? 🚗Self-driving: The current route to Motuo is the Zhamo Highway, but the road is not open to traffic after 8 p.m., and Motuo implements a system where you can only leave on odd-numbered days and enter on even-numbered days. 🚌Bus: Currently, there is only one bus route from Nyingchi to Motuo, which you can take from Bayi Town in Nyingchi (departs at 8 a.m.) ⚠️Attention: ✔️You need a border pass to enter Motuo, as well as an ID card, otherwise you cannot enter ⏰Best time to travel: April to May and September to November each year About Motuo Motuo, which means 'flower' in Tibetan, is a county under the jurisdiction of Nyingchi City in the Tibet Autonomous Region, and it is the only county in China that hangs on the southern slope of the Himalayas. For a time, there was a fee to enter, but since March 16, 2023, Motuo has announced the cancellation of the entrance fee. 🔥Must-visit attractions Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon The world's largest canyon, with dense rivers and lakes, marshes, snow-capped mountains, and glaciers, offers many magnificent and strange sights. Every year from March to April, the banks of the canyon are filled with dense wild peach forests, and from above, you can see the endless torrent of the river and the peach blossoms🌸, which is incredibly beautiful. Guguotang Big Bend This is a landmark of the Yarlung Zangbo River, and because it looks like a lollipop from above, it has this cute name. From the viewing platform, you can see the banana groves and the Yarlung Zangbo River, with very picturesque scenery. Galongla Snow Mountain Known as the 'sacred mountain,' its majestic peaks and snow-covered summit are breathtaking.🏔 There is also a Galongla Heavenly Pond on the snow mountain, like a pearl set at an altitude of 4700 meters, very clear. The Galong Temple near the Galongla Tunnel is also worth a visit. Namjagbarwa Peak With its steep peak shape, sharp mountain tips, and huge, sharp triangular peak body soaring into the clouds, it is awe-inspiring. Mirage Viewing Platform Here you can witness the sunrise over the Yarlung Zangbo River🌅, view the sea of clouds in Motuo, enjoy the mist over the Yarlung Zangbo River, and take in the panoramic view of Motuo County. Gelin Village Motuo's popular village, a must-visit! It's like spring all year round here, as if it's a 'Shangri-La' hidden deep in the canyon. Not only is it the best angle to view Namjagbarwa Peak, but it also has China's tallest Bhutan pine, a must-visit spot. When you arrive in Motuo, you can't help but exclaim: 'There are such beautiful places in this world!'😍
