National Geographic Wasn't Lying About Nyingchi's Breathtaking Spring Beauty

I just returned from admiring the peach blossoms in Nyingchi 🌸, and I'm so satisfied with my travel plan that I can't sleep! For two consecutive days, I witnessed the rare golden sunrise on Mount Namcha Barwa ⛰️! Driving along National Highway 318 and through the Yarlung Tsangpo Grand Canyon, I discovered the most beautiful peach blossom villages, and visited many lesser-known flower viewing spots. My camera is filled with so many gorgeous photos I can't even post them all 😂, I'm still in Tibet, sharing this fresh travel guide that's worth saving for your trip~ - 👇🏻"Before You Go" 📍Nyingchi's altitude is mostly around ▲3000 meters, except when crossing Sejila Mountain Pass at ▲4728 meters, so altitude sickness is generally manageable ✔️Check the weather forecast in advance, it's usually accurate.
