Namcha Barwa Peak

Nyingchi in Tibet is known as the 'Jiangnan on the Roof of the World', and some say it is the place closest to heaven. Nyingchi is located on the southeastern edge of the Himalayas, in a super large glacier area, with scenery so stunning it will make your eyes pop! The Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon, Namcha Barwa Peak, and the peach blossom valley in Mainling County all showcase the mystery and magnificence of the plateau. Standing on the edge of the canyon, looking up at the towering Namcha Barwa Peak, you will definitely marvel at the power of nature!

I recently went on a 6-day tour to Tibet! The main purpose was to see the peach blossoms in Nyingchi! But I went a bit early, and the peach blossoms were not in full bloom yet, though they were still beautiful! I've organized this guide for you! You can boldly and confidently go for it! Nyingchi: After arriving in Nyingchi, you can take some time to acclimate to the high-altitude climate. Rest flat in the hotel. Friends with good physical condition can also go to the center of Nyingchi city for a walk after landing! Bomigala Peach Blossom Village: This place is a famous peach blossom spot in Nyingchi~ Surrounded by mountains on three sides, the peach blossoms look incomparably beautiful against the backdrop of snow-capped mountains🏔️ and forests. Mid-March to mid-April is the peach blossom season in Nyingchi, so those who love peach blossoms under the snow mountains should remember to plan their time well! Sejila Mountain Pass: The scenery along the way is really too stunning, with the snow-capped mountains and the heavy snowfall, it's breathtaking! After reaching the Sejila Mountain Pass, you can look far into one of China's most beautiful peaks→Namcha Barwa! I'm really lucky! To be able to witness the beauty of the peak! It's an unforgettable experience in this lifetime Guoxiang Lake: This place really surprised me, it's a relatively lesser-known lake, but the water is clear and green, with several tall trees standing erect in the middle of the lake. Surrounded by the green water and snow-capped mountains🏔️, it gives the beautiful illusion of being transported to New Zealand~ Bomi Peach Blossom Valley: Because we came early, the peach blossoms were not fully in bloom, but it had its own unique charm! This is where Peach Blossom Valley is, friends who like peach blossoms can wait for the weather to warm up a bit more before coming! Basong Lake: You can take a leisurely stroll, look at the lake, see the snow mountains, or choose to take a boat to enjoy the feeling of being surrounded by snow mountains~ This place is known as the 'Little Switzerland' of Tibet~ Lhasa: The last stop is Lhasa!! Since I've fully adapted to the high-altitude environment, there were no altitude sickness issues during the entire trip, and I ate and slept well~ In Lhasa, you can go for a city walk. These are some places you can choose to visit! →Barkhor Street: A place for prayer and a commercial center →Yaowang Mountain Viewing Platform: Remember to bring 50 RMB →Potala Palace, Jokhang Temple: No need to say much about these two places!!! →Sera Monastery, Zaki Temple I was on a group tour for the entire trip, and it was a pure play team, plus all the teammates were young people, so we had a great time together! The key is that I met many like-minded friends!!! Tibet! I will come again!

🚗Some say, 'Tibet in July and August belongs to tourists, but only in winter can you see the real Tibet.' I didn't believe it until this winter when I came to Tibet. Indeed, there are many sceneries in winter that you can't see in summer, and I now believe the statement at the beginning. Since winter travel to Tibet is such a great value, what exactly can you see in Tibet during winter? 1. The Potala Palace is a destination many people aim for when visiting Lhasa. In winter, there's no need to queue, and admission is free (200y), with reservations available the day before. Plus, you can take both the east and west routes, which is perfect for those who want to delve deeper into Tibetan culture. 2. Watching migratory birds in Lhasa has become a new highlight of Lhasa tourism in winter. If you're lucky, you can also see the black-necked crane. In Longwangtan Park, at the foot of the Potala Palace, the figures of migratory birds can be seen everywhere. 3. The air in Tibet is clean in winter, and places like Namtso and Yamdrok Lake are excellent spots for stargazing. 4. Snow-capped mountains can be seen everywhere in the Tibetan region in winter, but it doesn't feel cold when the sun is out during the day. 5. Mount Namjagbarwa in Nyingchi, known as the 'Shy Girl Peak,' is often shrouded in clouds and mist. But in winter in Tibet, there's a high chance of seeing the golden sunlight on Mount Namjagbarwa. 6. Appreciating blue ice is an essential part of 'winter travel in Tibet.' In winter, Puma Yumco, Ranwu Lake, Namtso, Yamdrok Lake, and Basum Lake offer unique scenery. The lakes freeze over, and the sunlight reflects off the bottom of the lake, creating blue ice and emerald ice, like something out of a fairy tale. 7. If you like the outdoors, you don't need to go to Alaska or Iceland to experience magnificent glaciers. The Renlongba Glacier, Laigu Glacier, Midui Glacier, and Qudenima Glacier are well worth a visit. 8. Tibet is rich in geothermal resources, with hot springs like Yangbajing, Dezhong, Riduo, Woka, and Quzika, making winter hot springs in the snow land something to look forward to. 9. If you happen to catch the Tibetan New Year, various folk festivals and cultural activities centered on the 'Tibetan New Year,' such as the Butter Lamp Festival, Fairy Festival, and Lantern Festival, are colorful and exciting. Especially this year, as the Lunar New Year and the Tibetan New Year joyfully 'meet,' visitors to Tibet can experience the New Year on the snow-covered plateau, feel the bustling atmosphere of the Tibetan people preparing for the New Year at the Lhasa Chongsaikang market, and experience Tibetan New Year customs at homestays like Deji Tibetan Home. 🚗Precautions 1. The oxygen is relatively thin in winter, so pay more attention to altitude sickness, and don't drink alcohol after arriving! 2. In winter, there are fewer people in the small cities of the Tibetan region, so if you're not familiar with the road conditions, it's best to travel with a group. 3. The outdoor attractions depend on the weather, so keep a calm attitude, as long as you are safe, that's good. 4. There's a big temperature difference, so pay attention to keeping warm and preventing cold.

🏆Route section: The first day: Depart from Lhasa → Niyang River Wetland Fairyland → Magnificent spectacle of Namjagbarwa Peak → Arrive at Suosong Village (For friends who suffer from altitude sickness on higher altitude sections, please prepare glucose or corresponding medicines in advance. The accommodation experience in Suosong Village is decent, not as luxurious as in the city, but has its own charm. Pay attention to keeping warm in winter and avoid bathing to prevent catching a cold! Thermometer💪Glacier medicine box) The second day: Explore the Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon → Check in at the Buddha Palm Sand Dune (The backstory is very interesting, a good place for taking photos, the scenery is relatively ordinary but still a sight to see) → Leisurely travel to Bomi The third day: Depart from Bomi → Ranwu Lake like a poetic painting → Visit the mysterious and spectacular Laigu Glacier (Getting up early is wise, as the wind gets stronger and colder after noon, you can choose to ride a horse or hike for the adventure, Laigu Glacier is definitely a visual feast! Snowy mountains and glaciers🐎) The fourth day: Depart from Bomi again → Pass by the tranquil hometown lake → Challenge the 4700 meters high Sejila Mountain (Occasionally encounter cute monkeys on the mountain top, remember to bring some snacks to feed them; if you encounter a snowy landscape, it is an excellent opportunity for photography, and with great luck, you may even have a distant view of Namjagbarwa Peak! Snowy mountains monkey group snowflakes❄️) The fifth day: Depart from Linzhi → Enjoy a trip to Basong Lake (Regrettably did not reach the new lake, which is hidden deep in Basong Lake, requiring another hour's drive, the ticket is free, only a 10 yuan sanitation fee is charged, you can walk or ride a motorcycle, immerse yourself in the fresh air and lush greenery, forest oxygen bar🌿) 🌡️Temperature tip: The temperature in February is still acceptable, except for the Laigu Glacier which is colder, other places are fine to cope with. 🌸March Peach Blossom Festival reminder: Friends who go to Linzhi to enjoy the Peach Blossom Festival in March, please note that the cost may be slightly higher, the leader revealed that accommodation is extremely tight, be sure to book hotels in advance. On 3.26, the Holy Elephant Gate will open, each season has its beauty, and the scenery along the way is also a captivating painting! 🚗Travel method suggestion: If you have companions and sufficient time, it is recommended to charter a car or self-drive to enjoy the scenery along the way at your own pace, stopping wherever you like. About altitude sickness: Although I do not suffer from altitude sickness, for companions who do, it is a good choice to prepare glucose and adapt in Lhasa for two days. For minor discomfort, there is no need to rush to oxygen, consider oxygen only if really uncomfortable, and you can go to the hospital to get related medicines. Do not bathe, drink alcohol, or go clubbing upon first arriving in Lhasa, maintain sufficient good sleep, which helps to better adapt to the altitude sickness environment. 💕Solo travelers need not worry, you will surely encounter many like-minded new friends on the journey. Wishing every traveler a pleasant and unforgettable trip to Tibet! Encounter beauty🌈

The Roof of the World—the Tibetan Plateau, is not only home to the world's highest peak but also boasts a series of famous mountain ranges. These mountains, like a backbone, set up the grandeur and vastness of the Tibetan Plateau, carrying people's hopes and blessings. 1, 🏔 Mount Everest (elevation 8848.86 meters) It is the main peak of the Himalayas and the highest mountain in China and the world. In Tibetan, 'Zhumu' means 'goddess,' and 'Langma' means 'mother elephant,' which together signify 'Mother of the Earth.' Mount Everest has a giant pyramid shape, standing tall and majestic, reaching into the sky. As the world's highest peak, it attracts countless gazes. Its grandeur is imposing, draped in a thin veil of snow, resembling a celestial maiden. 2, 🏔 Mount Kailash (elevation 6656 meters) It is the second highest peak of the Gangdise mountain range, with its snow-covered summit shining golden in the sunlight. Its pyramid-like shape is distinct from the surrounding peaks and is also considered a sacred mountain by devout followers. 3, 🏔 Mount Kula Kangri (elevation 7538 meters) Located in Lhozhag County in the Shannan region of Tibet, it is known as one of the 'Four Great Sacred Mountains' of central Tibet. The entire snow mountain is composed of three peaks. Standing alongside Mount Kula Kangri are six peaks over 7000 meters high. From a distance, the peaks stand shoulder to shoulder, resembling a towering ice and snow barrier that reaches the sky. 4, 🏔 Namcha Barwa (elevation 7782 meters) It is the highest mountain in Nyingchi, Tibet Autonomous Region. As the sacred site of Tibet's oldest Buddhist tradition, 'Yungdrung Bon,' it is known as the 'Father of Tibetan Mountains.' Its massive triangular peak is perennially snow-covered, shrouded in mist, and rarely reveals its true face, earning it the nickname 'Shy Girl Peak.' 5, 🏔 Shishapangma (elevation 8027 meters) It is an 8000-meter peak entirely within Chinese territory. In Tibetan, Shishapangma means 'the weather is extremely cold, and the climate is harsh and variable,' but the Tibetan people praise it as an 'auspicious sacred mountain.' Its north slope has a glacier valley over 10 kilometers long, with a forest of ice towers shining like a 'crystal garden.' However, it is also covered with crisscrossing ice and snow crevasses and occasional massive ice and snow avalanches, making climbing extremely difficult. 6, 🏔 Mount Sajama (elevation 6956 meters) Located in Yangxiu Township, Biru County, it has stood here for thousands of years, surrounded by mountains, with its main peak revered as the king of local sacred mountains. Its highest peak is 6556 meters, also known as 'Sapuganglaga,' and is one of the sacred mountains of the Bon religion in Tibetan Buddhism. 7, 🏔 Cho Oyu (elevation 8201 meters) It is the sixth highest peak in the world, located on the border between China and Nepal in the Himalayas. 'Cho Oyu' in Tibetan means 'the great master.' Cho Oyu stands tall and mighty in the Himalayas. Cho Oyu has five main ridges, and its mountain is perennially snow-covered, surrounded by snow peaks, with layers of mountains presenting a spectacular view. Let's appreciate the photos of the snow-capped mountains taken by friends who travel to Tibet! 🏔

When the hustle and bustle of summer settles, winter in Tibet is like a serene fairy, gently lifting her veil. At this time, she sheds the hustle and bustle, leaving only purity and tranquility. Every inch of land is filled with a deep cultural charm, and every breeze is blowing the beautiful natural scenery. In Lhasa in winter, the sun is soft and warm, sprinkled on the golden roof of the Jokhang Temple, like golden tassels gently swaying. The Tibetan aunts at the street corner, turning the prayer wheels in their hands, chanting ancient scriptures, their figures in the winter sun are particularly peaceful and auspicious, becoming the most touching scenery line of this city. Stepping into Nyingchi is like stepping into a world of ice and snow fairy tales. The Namjagbarwa Peak is more majestic and mysterious under the winter sun, and the Lulang Forest at the foot of the mountain is dressed in silver, like a splash-ink landscape painting.

In winter in Tibet, there are many hidden beauties waiting for you to discover.

Passed through Yani Wetland Park, passed Sejila Mountain, also saw Lulang Forest Sea, a day of stop and go.

In Tibet, there is such a mountain peak. Many friends come to Tibet just to see its elegance, but they leave with regret because the fate has not arrived. It is the so-called shy girl peak, the most beautiful mountain in China - Namjagbarwa Peak! The huge triangular peak of Namjagbarwa is covered with snow all year round, surrounded by clouds and mist, and never easily reveals its true face. Nine out of ten people do not meet it, so it is called the 'shy girl peak'.
