Medog's Hidden Realm! I really regret not discovering this route sooner

Is Medog, recommended by Hu Ge, really worth visiting? This is a mysterious city in China, boasting the country's most complete mountain vertical climate zone and home to the northernmost rainforest on Earth. No matter how much I praise Medog, it pales in comparison to experiencing this paradise-like place firsthand! Lush forests are everywhere; along this route, you can experience all four seasons in one day, from glaciers and fir forests to banana groves~ - ⚠Warm Tips 1⃣The scenery is along the way; in just a few hours, you'll experience temperature changes of all four seasons, from high-altitude snow mountains to tropical rainforests. The changing scenery along this route is truly incredibly surprising! 2⃣A double-entry, single-exit policy is implemented: even-numbered days allow entry from Bomi to Medog, while odd-numbered days allow exit from Medog to Bomi. 3⃣Before departure, you need to prepare a border pass. Just bring 2 one-inch photos and your ID card to the public security bureau/border management office in your household registration area to apply (free of charge). 4⃣Travel by off-road vehicle! This really tests the driver's courage! There are many flooded roads that are very challenging for vehicles. The altitude span of Medog Highway is too great, so friends with severe altitude sickness should drive cautiously! Safety first! . 📝Sharing the Songtsam hotels we stayed at this time: 1⃣Songtsam Namcha Barwa Lodge Hidden deep within the Yarlung Tsangpo Grand Canyon, directly facing Namcha Barwa, every window offers a view of the snow-capped mountains. The immense 4600-meter drop brings not only visual shock but also an overwhelming spiritual impact~ - 2⃣Songtsam Bomi Linka Hotel Nestled in the pristine forests of Bomi, Tibet, surrounded by snow-capped mountains, it resembles a hidden paradise. - 🌟Wild Luxury Experience ✔Equipped with a DJI drone in the vehicle, professionally capturing stunning aerial footage of your journey ✔Buddha's Palm Sand Dune spectacle, capturing the magical coexistence of desert and snow mountains ✔Delve deep into the Yarlung Tsangpo Grand Canyon, directly facing Namcha Barwa Peak, the 'Father of Tibetan Mountains' ✔Gelin Village tropical banana forest perspective, unlocking another side of Namcha Barwa Peak ✔Ring the ox-head bell, gazing at the snow-capped peaks ✔Light trek through Gang Spruce Forest, encountering the hidden beauty of Shenxiancao Lake ✔Witness the surging sea of clouds, viewing the panoramic county town like a mirage ✔Step into the prototype location of 'Tomb Raider's' Tibetan Sea Flower ✔Leisurely time at Guxiang Lake, like walking through a traditional Chinese ink painting . 🚗Nyingchi + Medog 6-Day Tour Itinerary Design Day1⃣: Nyingchi Mainling Airport - Bomi Day2⃣: Bomi - Medog Day3⃣: Medog - Bomi Day4⃣: Bomi - Dalin Village Day5⃣: Yarlung Tsangpo Grand Canyon - Buddha's Palm Sand Dune Day6⃣: Dalin Village - Mainling Airport - 👉【Chartered Tour】 【Customized Tour】 【Private Group Tour】 are all available~ To get the same itinerary, click 【Chat with them】 at the bottom left of the screen to get a plan! -
