Things to do in Riwoche County

Free temple, a place to understand the life of local people. The lamas in the temple are very friendly to the local people. You can go to the main hall to listen to them chanting, take pictures and chat, or circumambulate the pagoda like the local people! If you pass by, you can come and have a look, it's quite interesting!

The Chajema Hall is highly recommended, both for its stories and its cultural landscape. It is worth visiting from afar. The hall has three floors, divided into flower, red and white, and the top floor is full of old treasures! If you want to enter the second and third floors, you need to collect the keys of the three guardians, and the doors all have three locks! Anyway, I like it very much, so I will show it off when I have time.

First, let's talk about transportation. If you're staying inside the scenic area, you can complete the necessary procedures at the main gate (in the small building to the right of the security guard's office after entering) and drive into the scenic area free of charge. If you're just visiting, park your car in the outdoor parking lot and take the scenic area shuttle bus. Second, let's talk about the environment. The scenic area is very large. Even without considering the four valleys, driving from the entrance to the other side of the scenic area takes several tens of minutes. The scenic area follows a single road along the lake, and the weather can be unpredictable, with periods of rain followed by periods of sunshine. On sunny days, it's quite beautiful. Next, let's talk about service. The entrance to the scenic area is a bit chaotic. On the left is the visitor center, and on the right, in a small building resembling a security office, you can complete the procedures for driving into the scenic area, but there are no signs indicating where to go. You might queue for a long time at the visitor center and then be told which way to go. Once inside the scenic area, there's no one to help you because it's so large; you have to find things yourself. Finally, let's talk about other things. Some roads leading to the accommodation areas within the scenic area are quite narrow, making it difficult for cars to pass each other. We visited two of the four valleys. Bailang Valley had an extremely bad road, and the entrance to the middle valley cost 10 yuan from the local Tibetans. The entire Zhalagou Valley is paved, but we didn't go all the way to the end; we only drove for forty minutes before turning back. It's quite a long road.

The Yarlung Tsangpo Grand Canyon, located in Pai Town, Milin City, Nyingchi, Tibet, is the world's longest and deepest canyon. The scenic area is currently open to the public, offering views of the canyon, Namcha Barwa Peak, the river, and forest landscapes…

Namcha Barwa is absolutely worth a visit! I went with my family. Located in Nyingchi, Tibet, Namcha Barwa is shrouded in mist year-round. At 7,782 meters, it's the highest peak at the eastern end of the Himalayas. At its foot lies the Yarlung Tsangpo Grand Canyon—the world's deepest canyon. The weather was pretty good the day I went; although clouds obscured the summit, I could still see almost the entire mountain, so I was lucky. It was a bit of a shame that the sun wasn't strong enough to see the golden sunrise on the mountain.

The moment the sun came out, it was all worth it. The scenic area still has room for further development; compared to other attractions in western Sichuan, it's relatively simple. Driving in is a pleasant experience, and on a sunny day, it's a place worth passing through.

Tibet! I would like to do it thousands of times! To see the most beautiful scenery of Ranwu Lake, you must go there in early spring in Tibet, around mid-to-late April, when the frozen lake surface has just melted, the azure blue water is exposed above the ice, and the snow-capped mountains are reflected in the water. After seeing it, you can't help but sigh: It's so beautiful!

Suosong Village: A Peach Blossom Secret Hidden on the Banks of the Yarlung Zangbo River If you're looking for a place that blends snow-capped mountains, a river, and peach blossoms into one stunning scene, Suosong Village should be high on your list. It sits midway up the Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon, overlooking the majestic silhouette of Mount Namjagbarwa and the surging Yarlung Zangbo River. In spring, peach blossoms blanket the mountains, while in autumn, layers of forests paint the valley. Even the morning mist on ordinary days seems to shroud the village in a gentle veil. Most of the village's inns have been converted from Tibetan-style dwellings, offering breathtaking views from the window. In the evening, sit in the courtyard and watch the sunset gild the snow-capped mountains. In the morning, listen to the gurgling river and wait for the first rays of sunlight to penetrate the clouds, and even time seems to slow down. There's no need to search for scenic spots; simply stroll along the village roads, encounter villagers carrying barley, or find a quiet spot on a rock by the river to experience the healing power of the Tibetan mountains. The only thing to note is that you need to book a room in advance during the peak season, and it is recommended to drive slowly as the mountain road is winding - but the journey is definitely worth it.
