Peach Blossoms in Snow - Bomi Peach Blossom Valley.

You may have seen hundred-year-old peach blossoms, and perhaps even three-hundred-year-old peach blossoms, but you certainly haven't seen a five-hundred-year-old peach tree. When you stroll through the beautiful scenery of peach blossoms in Nyingchi, breathing in the earthy aroma and the fragrance of peach blossoms, you'll surely wish to live another five hundred years. The most beautiful part of Tibet is Nyingchi, and the most beautiful time in Nyingchi is April. When the peach blossoms bloom all over the mountains and valleys along National Highway 318 extending to the Yarlung Tsangpo River Gorge, both tourists and photography enthusiasts will focus their attention here, forgetting the pain of altitude sickness, just for the once-in-five-hundred-years charm of the peach blossoms. Starting from Chengdu in mid to late March, travel along the most beautiful national highway G318, traversing thousands of miles and navigating the winding roads of Bangda's seventy-two bends, the first place to see the peach blossoms in Nyingchi is Bomi. The most beautiful peach blossoms in Bomi can be found in Bomi Peach Blossom Valley. Bomi Peach Blossom Valley is located about 10 kilometers west of Bomi County town, in the valley of the Potoi Tsangpo River. Coming from Nyingchi, you will first reach Peach Blossom Valley before arriving at Zhamu Town in Bomi County. On the left side of National Highway 318, near the Kada Bridge (where the Potoi Tsangpo River joins the Parlung Tsangpo River), there are clear signs for Peach Blossom Valley, as well as the former residence of the Tibetan King Nyatri Tsenpo and a promotional sign for the Potoi Hydropower Station. As you go further in, you will see more ancient peach trees, some with a diameter of up to 1 meter. These peach trees are not artificially planted; they are all wild. For hundreds of years, the local Tibetan people have never destroyed or cut them down, which is closely related to the Tibetan people's love for all living things. Late March is the peak blooming season for peach blossoms in Bomi, stretching over 20 kilometers, incredibly beautiful. As soon as you turn into Peach Blossom Valley, you will see peach blossoms on both sides of the road. On one side of the road are villages and houses, while on the other side is the river valley with some farmland. There are also villages on the opposite bank of the Potoi Tsangpo River, similarly surrounded by peach blossoms. In the distance, the snow-capped peaks glisten.
