In 2025, the Nyingchi Peach Blossom Festival will open on March 23.
Nyingchi Peach Blossom Festival: A Romantic Date with the Peach Blossoms
It is said that the peach blossoms in Nyingchi are the letter of spring in Tibet. But don't come blindly, you need to know the right way to encounter the ultimate romance.
Flowering period: Catch the best time to enjoy the flowers
Although March to April is the peach blossom season in Nyingchi, not the entire period is picturesque. Many peach blossoms were still dormant in March last year, so it is important to do your homework in advance. The time of the Peach Blossom Festival varies every year, and this year it is likely to be held at the end of March. During the festival, there are many exciting activities: stroll through the peach blossom garden and enjoy the falling flowers; watch folk cultural performances and experience the local customs; participate in folk sports activities such as bullfighting and stone hugging, and experience different fun; visit special exhibitions and sales, explore intangible cultural heritage, and pick out special agricultural and sideline products.
Accommodation guide: Book in advance to avoid panic
During the Peach Blossom Festival, rooms in Nyingchi City, Bomi City, and Suosong Village are in high demand. Suosong Village is highly recommended, as you can not only enjoy the peach blossoms and villages, but also wait for the golden mountain at sunrise. It is recommended to book your favorite accommodation in advance on major booking platforms to avoid having nowhere to stay.
Dressing guide: Cope with temperature differences and look beautiful
At this time, the temperature in Lhasa and Nyingchi is between 0 and 15°C, with large temperature differences between day and night, and occasional snowfall. Thick cotton clothes are warm, and thin jackets are light and convenient to add or remove according to the temperature. At the same time, the ultraviolet rays on the plateau are strong, so sun protection equipment is essential, such as sun hats, sunglasses, and high SPF sunscreen, to protect yourself from the sun and keep your beauty from "shrinking."
Travel tips: Enjoy a hassle-free trip
Nyingchi is vast, and the peach blossom viewing spots are scattered. You can choose to drive freely or join a tour group for convenience. Entering from Nyingchi, the altitude is lower, and the probability of altitude sickness is lower for those who are new to the plateau.
