Amazing! The 3-day 2-night guide to Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon featured on Running Man, I finally got to see the sunlit golden mountain!

Everyone!! Just got back from Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon! The spots featured on the Running Man show are absolutely incredible🔥 Not only is there the super healing "First Canyon Hot Spring," but I was also lucky enough to see the rarely seen true face of Namcha Barwa, which only 1 in 10 people get to witness! This guide combines famous moments from the show with my personal experience—just copy it‼️ 🗺️ Perfect 3-day 2-night itinerary 📍Day 1: Acclimation day & first glimpse of the canyon • Transportation: After arriving at Nyingchi Milin Airport (Address: Milin County, Nyingchi City, Tibet), take a 1.5-hour drive directly to the scenic area • Accommodation: 【Gega Hot Spring Tibetan-style Guesthouse】(book 2 weeks in advance) • Key point: First adapt to the altitude, absolutely no bathing! Take a stroll in the village, the distant view of the canyon outline is stunning~ 📍Day 2: Running Man style hiking day (Important‼️) • Morning: Check in at 【Canyon Rapids Waterside Platform】 The Tibetan medicine foot bath featured on Running Man is right here❗️50 yuan/person to soak in the warm "First Hot Spring of Yarlung Zangbo Canyon," with the rushing Yarlung Zangbo River before your eyes, the ice-and-fire experience is amazing✨ 🌟Tips: Fewer people in the morning, bring your own towel for better hygiene~ • Afternoon: Head to 【Namcha Barwa Base Camp】(altitude about 3000 meters) This is the best observation point to wait for the "Shy Girl Peak"! Prepare your oxygen tank🫧 • Evening: Use the ultimate waiting tips for the "Sunlit Golden Mountain" (see details below)📝 • Night: Stay at 【Namcha Barwa Tent Hotel】(Address: Paizhen, Milin County, Nyingchi City) Eating yak hotpot under the starry sky is so romantic🌌 (The day-night temperature difference is over 15 degrees, but the tent heating is very sufficient!) 📍Day 3: Farewell moment • Early morning: If luck is on your side, you can catch the golden mountain sunrise again🌄 • Morning: Slowly drive along the scenic road, leaving your last memories at different viewing platforms 🔑 Super important! Must-read guide 1️⃣ Ultimate guide to the sunlit golden mountain: ⏰ Best season: October to April (dry season) 🕙 Golden time: You must secure your spot 1 hour before sunset! Usually between 6-7 PM 💫 Mindset: Stay calm and patient~ We waited 6 hours, and in the last 10 minutes, the clouds cleared and the view was so stunning it made me cry😭 2️⃣ Tent accommodation experience: 📌 The room has electric heating blankets + heating, completely warm 📌 Dinner is a fixed set meal (bringing your own snacks is recommended) ⚠️ Plateau survival guide: 🚗 Transportation: Scenic spots are very spread out! Recommend chartering a car or carpooling 🧥 Clothing: Layering is key! Daytime wear a windbreaker, nighttime down jacket + fleece, hat is a must❄️ 💊 Medicine: Glucose + ibuprofen + altitude sickness medicine! The essential three 🍲 Food: Food in the scenic area is average, must eat stone pot chicken when back in Nyingchi‼️ The moment Namcha Barwa’s sunlit golden mountain parts the clouds✨ you will understand that all the waiting was worth it❤️
