    Basum Tso, the emerald of southeastern Tibet, is nourished by glacial meltwater, its jade-green waters reflecting the snow-capped sacred mountains and lush forests. The ancient temple on Tashi Island in the heart of the lake, with its fluttering prayer flags and the figures of Tibetan pilgrims circumambulating the lake, adds a touch of human warmth to this secluded paradise. Every season offers a unique view: spring brings rhododendrons against the snow, autumn paints the lake with vibrant foliage, and winter paints the walls red with frost. Here, the stillness is so profound you can hear the wind whistling through the forest, and the purity is so deep it reflects the soul—a highland haven where nature and faith coexist.

    The Yarlung Tsangpo Grand Canyon is the world's largest and deepest canyon. Stretching over 500 kilometers from Milin County in Nyingchi City in the north to Medog County in the south, its deepest point reaches 6,009 meters. Within a vertical range of over 5,000 meters, it encompasses almost all natural zones from polar to tropical regions, and offers stunning views of the magnificent Namcha Barwa peak.

    Lulang Linhai is a wonderful place! Look at the green trees, like a large emerald carpet to the sky. Pine trees and fir trees stand side by side, the wind blows, like background music. The most amazing are the clouds, like a trick-or-treating-in the morning, wrapped in a mountainside belt, the sun turned into a milk gauze floating on the treetops, and in the afternoon simply collapsed in the mountains. If it rained, the whole forest was in the spirit, like a fairy just cooked hot pot here. The yak wandered on the meadow, the little black pigs were eating on the side of the road, and the animals here were leisurely like vacations. The smell of stone pot chicken floated from the collector's building, mixed with the smell of pine branches and wild flowers, and it was impossible to walk. Staying here, I don't want to take out my mobile phone. I just stare at the clouds and see that they change and change all day. What is natural oxygen? Come to Lulanglinhai to take a breath and you will know! !

    First of all, don't ride a horse when you go to Midui. Don't ride a horse. Don't ride a horse. Don't ride a horse. I'll say it three times. Reasons: First, the walking path is only 1.5 kilometers. Although the altitude is 3,900, the walking route is full of ancient forests. There is plenty of oxygen. Basically, you don't have to worry about altitude sickness. You can walk and stop and have fun. It's very easy to walk to the viewing platform. When I went there, even the old men and women in the sunset group who took the scenic area car walked to the viewing platform. Second, the round-trip price of horse riding is 100 per person. If you take another route, you will miss the scenery on the walking path. And it will limit your time to take pictures at the viewing platform. In addition, the horses are very dirty, not to mention the smell. Third, and most importantly, you can't choose the horse. You have to ride whatever is brought to you. There is no choice. Basically, 90% of the horses are pitifully thin. Those who want to take pictures on horseback advise you to give up this idea. And the local Tibetans who lead horses are extremely arrogant and bad, and even pull you. Because of this personal experience, I chose to walk. Now it seems to be a very correct choice, so I don't want to ruin the good mood of the trip, I advise you to get off the scenic area bus and go straight to the walking path. As for the scenery of Midui Glacier, I personally feel it is worth it. In addition, let's talk about the walking time. Three hours is enough for walking, stopping, taking photos, resting, taking photos at the viewing platform, and taking aerial photos. Don't worry about altitude sickness. I took my 70-year-old mother who has basic diseases such as hypertension and coronary heart disease, and she walked to the viewing platform easily. So finally, I advise you again, stay away from the horses in Midui and those villagers who are trying to cheat you out of money.

    An undisturbed primeval forest, a breathtaking beauty hidden within the mountains. Winding hills, deep, dense forests, lush meadows, and flowing usnea create a truly enchanting green wonderland. It was fantastic! I'll definitely come back next time I get the chance.

    We took the Bingchacha line all the way. We originally wanted to go to Medog after Bomi, but unfortunately the weather was not favorable and the Medog Highway was closed again. We had to give up. However, we still walked to the tunnel side and walked the old Medog Highway. As soon as we got here, we were shocked. The terrain was like a bowl surrounded by mountains. This kind of terrain is prone to disasters. Halfway up the mountain, we could see a temple in the valley, which was probably for praying and blessing. The old road was blocked by ice and snow from time to time in July, which is why it was only open for two months a year.

    20220608 AM 1. You must drive to the scenic spot in the "Yani National Wetland Park" if there is no bus. "Ya" stands for the Yarlung Zangbo River and "Ni" stands for the Niyang River. The first stop of the scenic spot is the "Niyang River Scenic Belt", which is the wetland landscape along the Niyang River before the confluence of the rivers. 2. From the first scenic spot "Niyang River Scenic Belt", it takes a quarter of an hour to drive to the second scenic spot "Benri Scenic Area". The Benri Sacred Mountain on the north side is the birthplace of the native religion of Tibet. Tibetan believers often walk and worship around the mountain, measuring its circumference with flesh and blood. 3. The Benri Scenic Area is the confluence of rivers. The only landscape is the first glass viewing platform in Tibet, where you can see the magnificent scene of the Niyang River merging into the Yarlung Zangbo River. There is a Douyin shooting point on the viewing platform. There is a pair of male and female statues outside the viewing platform (the female looks like Tibetans, and the male looks like the Qing Dynasty, the meaning is not clear). Below the platform is the cruise ship dock, the island in the river (it is impossible to pass, only trees are planted but no bridge), the imitation Mongolian yurt, the dining area and the small fountain. 4. It takes half an hour to visit the Benri Scenic Area. It is estimated that you can walk to this scenic area from the wooden plank road along the river from the "Niyang River Scenic Belt" just now. The wooden plank road will pass through landscapes such as "Tibetan King's Tomb" and "Benri Holy Spring". You can walk carefully and observe them while waiting for the second visit.

    The return is nearly 5 kilometers, which is a good hiking route, but the scenery is relatively monotonous, and the 80 yuan ticket is a bit expensive. There are very few people, and you can only go through bus 11. I don’t seem to see any emergency plans if I can’t walk.
