Located in southern Tibet, Nyingchi is a famous city in Tibet and is known as the "Jiangnan of Tibet". Nyingchi's geographical location is unique, under the influence of the Indian Ocean Warm Current and the Northern Cold Current, forming a special climate and landform.
The Nyingchi Niyang River is located in southern Tibet and is an important part of Tibetan culture. The Niyang River is also known as "Niangqu," which means "tears of a goddess" in Tibetan.
The Niyang River is a river in the Tibet Autonomous Region of China, which originates from the glaciers and snowy waters of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, covering a length of 307.5 kilometers and a basin area of 17,500 square kilometers. Despite being the fourth among the many tributaries of the Brahmaputra River, the Niyang River is very rich in water, second only to the Palung Zangbo River.
Its source is the surrounding valley held by the ancient glacier, with an altitude of about 5,000 meters, a total length of 307.5 kilometers, and a water energy reserve of 2.08 million kilowatts.
Mount Mila is the watershed between the Lhasa and Niyang rivers, marking the dividing point between two different rivers. Heading east from the Lhasa River Valley, the journey gradually becomes higher, crossing the Mira Pass at an altitude of 5,013 meters and entering the Niyang River Valley all the way east.
Its emerald green water surface and lush vegetation along its shore make for a spectacular landscape that is so intoxicating that it has been hailed as "the most beautiful river valley in the world".
The source of the Niyang River is an alpine pasture with vast watery meadows, but no trees. If you go down the slope and go east, you will find that the mountains on both sides gradually appear thinning woods.
The mainstay of the Niyang River is a famous attraction that stands like a seal, and huge rocks stand in the middle of the river, which are shocked by the rapids and stir up huge waves.
Located in the middle reaches of the Niyang River on the Sichuan-Tibet Road, it is a place with high mountains and deep ravines and rapid rivers, which is known as the first Grand Canyon of the Niyang River. There is a huge rock here, which rises high in the river, backed by the sacred Buddha Mountain. The place has a strong religious atmosphere, and many pilgrims come to pray religiously for the blessing of Gongzundem.
It is rich in historical artifacts and cultural heritage that showcase Tibet's unique cultural landscape and long historical background. Here, people can enjoy the purest, oldest and most primitive natural scenery, and feel the mystery and charm of nature.
