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 was also the last county in China to be accessible by road. With snow-capped mountains, waterfalls, and ancient villages, every scene is breathtaking. It is Tibet's Motuo~ ~ How to get to Motuo? 🚗Self-driving: Currently, the Zhamo Highway is the route to enter Motuo, but the road is closed to traffic after 8 p.m., and Motuo implements a single-exit, double-entry policy, for example, exit only on the 1st, and entry only on the 2nd. 🚌Bus: There is currently only one bus from Nyingchi to Motuo, which can be taken from Bayi Town in Nyingchi (departs at 8 a.m.) ⚠Attention: ✔A border pass is required for Motuo, as well as an ID card, otherwise entry is not allowed ⏰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 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 as of 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 canyon is filled with dense wild peach forests, and from above, one can see the endless torrent of the river and the peach blossoms 🌸, which are incredibly beautiful. Guxiangtang Great Bend This is a signature spot 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 forests and the Yarlung Zangbo River, with very picturesque scenery. Galongla Snow Mountain Known as the 'sacred mountain,' its magnificent peaks and snow-covered summits 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, pointed 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 cloud sea of Motuo, admire the clouds and mist of the Yarlung Zangbo River, and take in the panoramic view of Motuo county. Gelin Village Motuo's popular village, a must-visit, where it is spring all year round, like a 'Shangri-La' hidden deep in the canyon. Not only is it the best angle to view Namjagbarwa Peak, but it also has the tallest Bhutan pine in China, a must-visit spot. When you arrive in Motuo, you can't help but exclaim: 'There is such a beautiful place in this world!'
