I was in Lebugou, Shannan, and spent a day as a Monba girl

⭐It was not until I traveled to Tibet that I knew and understood a nationality - Monba. It was not until I visited Shannan that I unlocked the hidden gem of Lebugou. 🏔️When I arrived at Monba New Village in Lebugou, it was already more than nine o'clock in the evening, cold and hungry, accompanied by mild altitude sickness. The next day, when I was in the Lebugou scenic area, I truly understood the phrase: the body is in hell, the eyes are in heaven. Snow-capped mountains, meadows, lakes, yaks, primitive forests... This picture of alpine beauty is really heart-moving. What's more unforgettable is that I was fortunate to be a Monba girl for a day. Lebugou is one of the main settlements of the Monba people. After listening to the guide's explanation, I learned that the Monba is a nationality with a long history. Their national language is Monba, they do not have their own national script, and the population of Monba in China is only over 10,000. With the help of the aunt, I changed into Monba clothing. Although I couldn't communicate in language, I felt full of warmth from her words and deeds. Azaleas, barley cakes, butter tea, taking photos in Lebugou in Monba clothes, these are the most beautiful memories Lebugou has left me. tips: ①📍Address: Mamma Monba Ethnic Township, Cuona County, Shannan City, Tibet Autonomous Region. ②🚅Transportation: The transportation is not very convenient, it is recommended to drive by yourself or join a group tour. ③⏰Tour time: The best travel time is in April and May each year. In April and May, the high-altitude azaleas in the Lebugou scenic area are in full bloom, which is spectacular. ④🏘️Accommodation: Accommodation is concentrated in Monba New Village, which is also the location of the Lebugou Tourist Service Center. It is recommended to prepare some snacks when entering the scenic area. ⑤✨Others: When entering high-altitude areas, different people may have different degrees of altitude sickness, and you can prepare some anti-altitude sickness drugs in advance. Portable oxygen bottles can also be prepared. Play safely, if you feel unwell, you need to seek medical attention in time.
