Introduction
|
"Nyingchi" means "the Grand Seat of the Sun" in the language of Tibetan. It is noted for its green mountains and clear water. The Himalaya and Tangula Mountains wind their ways from west to east like two colossal dragons and join the Henduan Mountains in the east. The city of Nyingchi, lying in the southeast of Tibet, is in the embrace of these three mountain ranges. Nyingchi is also called "the Switzerland of Tibet" and "the Jiangnan of Tibet"

After breakfast, proceed to the “Little Switzerland of Tibet”---Nyingchi, enjoy the beautiful view of Niyang Valley and Basum Lake. Then arrive at Bayi County in Nyingchi. As a gem in south Tibet, Basum Lake’s beauties inspire imagination of anyone who comes here. The flowers in spring, green trees in summer, golden fruits in autumn and white snow in winter all suggest that this is real “Jiangnan of Tibet” and a paradise for both the immortals and the human beings.
