Spring travel of Tibet

Nyingchi, "throne of the sun" in Tibetan, is located in southeast Tibet, where the Himalaya Mountains and Nyainqentanglha Mountains extend from west to east, like parallel huge dragons, to join the Hengduan Mountains in the east.







In Nyingchi of Tibet, there is a village called Gala Peach Blossom with natural wild peach, the local people call it Taohuagou. The Taohuagou surrounded by mountains, water and verdant forests. Mid-March to early April each year, the peach covers the mountains and plains, stretching to the valley. The popularity of Nyingchi Peach Blossom Festival is comparable to Yogurt Festival, people have a picnic under the tree and enjoy the golden rape and pink peach.







It is March now, it is time to travel to Tibet. Nyingchi is often compared to southern Chinese cities for its mild climate and gentle picturesque scenery. With an average altitude of 3,100 meters and surrounded by the snow-capped Himalaya mountain range, the region welcomes spring earlier than the rest of Tibet. In March, While the peaks of the distant mountains are covered with snow, numerous peach trees scattered across the prefecture come into bloom. They are so beautiful that you will love them at the first sight.
