I finally realized that the stamina of leaving Medog is greater than falling out of love.
The first time I learned about Medog was in Baby Annie's "Lotus"📖. This is also the hometown of Zhang Qiling. As the last county in China with access to roads🛣️, it is mysterious, pure, and a pure land transformed into the human world, which has always attracted me deeply. .
Passing through the Galongla Tunnel🚇, it feels like you have entered another world. The altitude dropped by more than 3,000 meters. After passing through heavy clouds and fog☁️, you finally arrived at the secret land of lotus🪷. Here you will find dense vegetation and endless water flow💦, spanning the cold zone, temperate zone, Subtropical plants 🌳 can meet in the same sky in spring, summer, autumn and winter. There is only one Medog in the world, but Medog owns the whole world.
🗺️Two-day itinerary for Medog
Day ❶ Bomi → Galong La Tunnel → Galung Waterfall → Yarlung Zangbo River Linda Turn → Mirage Observation Deck → Rinqing Collapse Temple → Fructose Candy Turn → Green Village
Day ❷ Drive along the Zhamo Highway on the return journey, stopping and stopping by car along the way
🔍In addition to Jialong Falls, there are various large and small waterfalls, streams, and lakes along the Medog Highway. The most beautiful scenery must be on the road!
🔍There are so many turns in the Yarlung Zangbo River. As soon as you enter Medog, you will be the first to see the turning point of the Yarlung Zangbo River. The river is rushing endlessly. It is still very spectacular👍
🔍Guoguotang Big Turn, standing on the observation deck, you can overlook the 180° big turn of the Brahmaputra River. The rare landscape is breathtaking. You need to take the local shuttle bus to get there.
🔍Mirage☁️, overlooking the mist-shrouded Medog County and the Brahmaputra River, continue up the mountain to Rinqingbeng Temple
🔍In Green Village, go up to the Lotus Observation Deck🪷 overlooking the organic tea fields in the mountains. When the weather is good, you may also have the opportunity to see Namjagbarwa Peak🏔️Golden Mountain under the sun🌄. At night, you can set up a tent and watch the sky full of stars✨. If you stay for a long time, you can also You can ask a guide to hike to find the Bhutanese pine🌲
📝Be sure to know these things before setting off
🪪Be sure to apply for a border defense permit in advance when going to Medog County
⚠️Medog Highway currently stipulates double entry and single exit, that is, you can only enter on even days, and you can only go out on odd days.
⛔️Zhamo Highway is closed to traffic after 20:00 pm
🚘It is recommended to use an off-road vehicle for self-driving, but commercial vehicles or sedans are basically fine too
🧥The climate in Medog is changeable, so prepare more clothes
🍴Remember to try the Medog Stone Pot Chicken and a cup of highland barley wine. The local bananas are also delicious🍌

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!

"A Glimpse of the Stunning Beauty of Mount Namjagbarwa at Sunset."
✨ We were lucky enough to see Mount Namjagbarwa, which is often hidden from view! 🎉
After the natural concert yesterday, many photography enthusiasts told us how lucky we were. They had been waiting here for ten days or even half a month, and most of the time they couldn't even see the shadow of the mountain. 😱 To be honest, I was very calm before I came here, and I didn't know that Mount Namjagbarwa was so sacred.
🙌 The locals say, "To see the true face of Mount Namjagbarwa, you need fate, luck, and the blessing of the gods." Many people who come to Tibet just pass by, and the nearly 8,000-meter-high Mount Namjagbarwa is almost always hidden in the clouds. ☁️
This mountain is full of magical legends. Its main peak is towering into the clouds, and it is said that the gods often gather and burn mulberry on it. The flag clouds formed by the high-altitude wind are the mulberry smoke burned by the gods, and there is a divine palace and a road to heaven on the top of the mountain. 🌟
The people of the canyon region have great admiration and awe for the steep and dangerous Mount Namjagbarwa. 😍
When we arrived yesterday, Mount Namjagbarwa showed its main peak for the first time in a long time, and it greeted us with the stunning beauty of the sunset! 🌄 At night, the full moon appeared from the clouds and slowly rose. The scene was so amazing that I couldn't help but marvel at it! 💕

Living in Yalu Mountain, the sun shines on Jinshan Mountain.
It is said that Namjagbarwa Peak and Rizhao Jinshan Mountain are something that nine out of ten people never encounter. This time I only waited two days to encounter them. I was very lucky.
This time I stayed at Yarlu Mountain Residence. The boss and staff were very nice, and the chef’s skills were really amazing. The entire B&B had large windows facing Namjagbarwa Peak! You can watch the sun shine on Jinshan Mountain while lying down, it’s really amazing

Songtsen Namjagbarwa Mountain Residence in Milin, Tibet.
Located at the foot of Namjagbarwa Mountain in Suosong Village. Each room faces Namjagbarwa Mountain. The room numbers ending in 1, 3, 6, and 7 are double-bed rooms, while 1 and 2 are recessed rooms. The view is not as good as the room numbers at the back. The first floor will be noisier, and the front room will be noisier. It's the pool and observation deck, and there will be people taking photos during the day.
The windows can be fully opened to enjoy the scenery from inside the room.
The room is a two-entry room. The bed is at the entrance. There is a glass partition between the bed and the window. The door can be closed. There is also a layer of curtains that are very effective in blocking light and keeping warm. The area next to the window is a tatami mat and a large coffee table. There is floor heating in winter, but the draft is still obvious through the window cracks, so this area will be a bit cold.
The room decoration is simple, but clean and comfortable.
The soundproofing is average, but as long as the neighbors aren't too noisy, it's fine.
When I make the bed every night, I leave a thermos pot with good night drinks in it. One day it’s ginger tea, and another day it’s sweet milk, which is very warm.
Dispersed oxygen supply started after 8 pm, and I slept well at night.
Lunch and dinner are all set meals, sometimes stir-fried vegetables, sometimes rice noodles, sometimes hot pot. I think it's delicious, but it's too much for one person to finish, which is a bit wasteful. After staying for two days, I feel like my appetite has increased! It is very pleasant to eat in front of the snow-capped mountains. The advantage of the set meal is that you don’t need to eat anything, which is especially suitable for a leisure trip. Lunch seems to be 185 yuan and dinner is 285 yuan per person.
Afternoon tea includes nuts, dried fruits, biscuits and snacks, tea and coffee, I like it very much.
The third floor is the study room, with some good books. It is very comfortable to sit and look at the mountains for a long time when the sun is shining. However, in winter, the wind blows in, and the more you sit, the colder it becomes. And there is no afternoon tea time, so there is nothing to drink.

Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon.
Located at the northern foot of the Himalayas, the Yarlung Zangbo River has created the world's longest and deepest canyon. The spectacular beauty of the canyon is as exciting as the rolling rapids. We were also lucky enough to get a clear view of Mount Namjagbarwa. We also saw a tree that had split a huge rock, a truly magical sight. We then continued along the Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon, and the wild peach blossoms blooming along the road in Sumzom Village in the canyon once again caught our eye.

Nyingchi.
Set off for Nyingchi. On the way over the Sejila Mountain at an altitude of 4,702 meters, you will see the beautiful Namjagbarwa Peak (7,782 meters), the 15th highest peak in the world and one of the most beautiful peaks in China. Then, you will go down the mountain and pass the beautiful Niyang River to reach the Gala Village Taohuagou, known as the "Jiangnan on the Border". The centuries-old peach blossoms and rapeseed flowers all over the mountains are competing for beauty like drunk clouds, which is fascinating in the embrace of the snow-capped peaks!

On the way from Nyingchi to Bomi, you can see Mount Namjagbarwa.
Mount Namjagbarwa is located at the intersection of the Himalayas, the Nyenchen Tanglha Mountains, and the Hengduan Mountains. It is the highest mountain in Nyingchi, Tibet, with an altitude of 7,782 meters. It belongs to the Himalayas and is located at the easternmost end of the Himalayas. It is the holy land of Tibet's oldest Buddhism, "Yungdrung Bon", and is known as the "Father of Tibetan Mountains". At the same time, the adjacent Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon turns a horseshoe-shaped bend around it, and then extends towards the Indian Ocean. Mount Namjagbarwa is also known as "Mount Muzhubar". Its huge triangular peak is covered with snow all year round, and it is surrounded by clouds and mist, and it never reveals its true face easily, so it is also called "Shy Girl Peak". Namjagbarwa has various interpretations in Tibetan, one is "thunder and lightning burning like fire", one is "spear piercing the sky", and one is "stone falling from the sky". The latter name comes from the "Battle of Menling" in "The Epic of King Gesar", which depicts Mount Namjagbarwa as "like a spear, piercing the sky".
Opening hours: Natural landscape, open all day
Recommended play time: 1 day
Best travel season: October to April of the following year. During this season, there is not much rainfall, the air is dry, the visibility is high, and you can see the most beautiful scenery of Mount Namjagbarwa.

Those who know Tibet will never miss the autumn in Nyingchi.
🧐From late September each year, Nyingchi, known as the "Jiangnan of Tibet", enters the golden period of autumn. Yellow, red, purple and other colors, like the strokes of a painter, slowly dye the slopes, forests, rivers, lakes and snow-capped mountains of Nyingchi, making the whole Nyingchi more charming. This visual feast will last until mid-to-late November, and the nearly 50-day "Golden Nyingchi" is really not to be missed!
🎈There are many beautiful places in Nyingchi in autumn and winter:
🌟【Basum Lake】This is a famous sacred lake of Tibetan Buddhism, praised as the "turquoise fallen into the world". There are many attractions in the scenic area, such as Lake Island, Cuozong Temple, Jieba Village, Cuogao Village, Xin Lake, Zhong Lake, etc. Autumn is the best season to watch Basum Lake. The sky is high and the air is refreshing. From the lake bank to the mountain ridge, it is like a palette overturned by nature. The forest is dyed and the environment is quiet.
🌟【Namjagbarwa Peak】This is the most representative and highest peak in Nyingchi. The best places to watch Namjagbarwa Peak are Sejila Mountain Pass and Suosong Village in Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon. The best viewing season is from October to April of the following year. At this time, there is less rainfall, the air is dry, the visibility is high, and you can see its most beautiful appearance, especially when the sun shines on the mountain.
🌟【Midui Glacier】It is the lowest glacier in the world and has been rated as one of the six most beautiful glaciers in China by "China National Geographic". The ancient ice and snow that has been preserved for millions of years, the ice basin and the cliffs are crystal clear, and the long ice tongue emits dark blue light, which is more shocking than imagined. It is most suitable to go in autumn and winter.
🌟【Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon】The Grand Canyon is 504 kilometers long and 6009 meters deep at the deepest point. It is the deepest canyon in the world. In addition to taking a boat to see the canyon landscape in the scenic area, there are many good angles for viewing and photography. It is also a great place to watch Namjagbarwa Peak. Early May and early October are the best seasons for hiking.
🌟【Lulang Forest】It is composed of shrubs in the green mountains on both sides, dense spruce and pine trees, and neat meadows in the middle, known as the "natural oxygen bar".
🌟【Bomi】The autumn in Bomi County is super beautiful, the colorful forest is like fire, and the snow-capped glaciers are dotted in it. The sky and the lake are so blue that people are intoxicated. From September, there will be autumn colors around the Bomi Gang spruce forest. From early October to early November, the autumn colors are the most intense, especially the Bomi section of National Highway 318. The glacier is more charming against the colorful autumn colors on the road.

The Father of Icebergs in Tibet | Namjagbarwa
These 7 spots in Nyingchi offer different views of Namjagbarwa: Lulang Forest, Yarlung Tsangpo Grand Canyon, and Motuo. All of them are accessible by car, no hiking required (tested in person, save this tip).
1. Lulang Forest Observation Deck: Search it on the map. It's by National Highway 318, with convenient parking. You can see the white triangular peak of Jialabailei Snow Mountain and the tall main peak of Namjagbarwa on the right. The dark forest is right under your feet, offering a broad view. The admission fee is CNY 15 per person before May 1. Although it was snowing, we still saw the main peak for a few minutes. It's worth it!
2. Tunba Village, Milin County, Gongzundemu Farm: This is the first viewing spot on the north bank of the Yarlung Tsangpo River, where you can take photos of the reflection of Namjagbarwa in the water. Navigate to the farm. The admission fee is CNY 20 per person. You can go down to the water. The sunrise is amazing!
3. Three Snow Mountains Observation Deck: Search it on the map. It's by the road between Tunba Village and Suosong Village. The snow mountains are set off by peach blossoms in the front. This is where you can take classic photos. You can also take time-lapse photos when it's cloudy.
4. The pond above the parking lot of Taohuayun Hotel, Suosong Village: This is a free spot where you can take photos of the reflection of the main peak in the water. It's not very popular. There are peach blossoms in the photos. There is a large peach forest nearby where you can take photos of people.
5. Fairyland: Search it on the map. It's on the road to Dalin Village where the Yarlung Tsangpo River turns. Drive on the dirt road for a while and you will see prayer flags and an open space. This is the north side of Namjagbarwa. The sunrise is the best. The view is broad. The mountain seems very close. The surging water of the Yarlung Tsangpo River is right under your feet.
6. Namjagbarwa Observation Deck on the south bank: The angle is good, but you can only take a sightseeing bus to the south bank. It's not very free, so the chance of seeing the main peak is low. As it's the main scenic area, you can try your luck.
7. Namjagbarwa Observation Deck, Gelincun Village, Motuo: The newly built Lotus Observation Deck is located above the tea garden. It's a great spot to see the east slope of the main peak. Drive on the mountain road from Motuo County to the top of the mountain, Gelincun Village. It's best to stay overnight and wait for the sunrise.

I regret not discovering Nyingchi earlier!! It's really beautiful!!!
Nyingchi has different beautiful scenery in all four seasons. In spring, you can see flowers and leaves in summer. At the junction of summer and autumn, you can see the harvest time when a piece of highland barley field is dyed into brilliant gold.
Nyingchi is below 3,000 meters above sea level and is one of the areas in Tibet that is not prone to altitude sickness. The Yarlung Zangbo River divides the Himalayas into two, bringing the Atlantic water vapor here, making the climate here more humid and pleasant.
📍In autumn, the side of Ranwu Lake is a yellowish grassland. On the hillside, there is a vast forest, reflected in the emerald-like lake, quiet and deep, ethereal and quiet.
📍In autumn, the banks of the Niyang River can be called the "most beautiful scenic avenue". The golden and warm red mixed plants are lined on both sides, colorful woods, shrubs, golden grass beaches on the river beach, farmland, water birds playing in the water, horses, sheep... where the eyes are, they are all colorful world.
📍Sejila Mountain belongs to the Nyainqentanglha Mountains and is the dividing line between the eastern and central parts of Nyingchi County, Tibet. In the early morning, the colorful forest and shrubs are hidden in the clouds and the dark color, only the continuous autumn color enjoys the whole mountain.
📍Basum Lake is located in the upper reaches of the Niyang River and is a famous local sacred lake. The clear lake is set among the mountains. In autumn, when the forest is dyed, the original green lake is even greener. Here is the most beautiful autumn color of "Sai Shang Jiangnan". The warm yellow pasture sets off the distant snow-capped mountains. From the lake shore to the ridge, the forest is dyed, red, green, golden, and scattered all over the mountains.
📍In autumn, the Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon, from the bottom of the valley to the top of the mountain, stretches for dozens of miles of colorful forests, red, yellow, green, different tones, different levels, different leaves, rich and brilliant, colorful. The Suosong Village on the north bank of the canyon is not only the best place to enjoy peaches, but also the best place to enjoy autumn.
📍In autumn, the Lulang Forest is colorful. The color matching is like a palette that has been knocked over by accident. The original shrubs and dense spruce and pine forests are endless, the plateau meadows and streams are winding, and the autumn leaves are blooming~ The autumn in Lulang is full of warm colors everywhere. Only those who have been to Lulang in autumn know how shocking the autumn in Lulang is.
📍Located in the northeast of Nyingchi, Bomi is a famous glacier town. There are hundreds of glaciers in the territory. In the autumn, when the weather is clear, you can overlook Bomi, where glaciers are lined up, countless silver lights are shining under the blue sky, and they are more agile against the surrounding mountains and forests. In autumn, Bomi, the maple forest and poplar trees are intertwined like fire, light yellow, golden, dark gray, bright red, orange red... white is pure and dazzling, red is gorgeous and brilliant, green is green and green, blue is refreshing... a magnificent and heavy plateau oil painting
