The most beautiful spring in China is in Nyingchi, but although the peach blossoms in the snowy region are beautiful, they are fleeting, and the annual flowering period is less than a month, which makes many riders addicted...
At this time, Linzhi Motuo, hundreds of years of alpine rhododendrons are also blooming in the snow, all over the mountains, competing for beauty, more beautiful than ten miles of peach blossoms, the hundred miles of rhododendrons here are really stunning in the world!

In addition, due to the huge difference in altitude in the Medog area, the alpine azaleas bloom for a long time, from mid-April to the end of June every year, and bloom one after another along the mountain level!

Motuo, a county under the jurisdiction of Nyingchi Prefecture, which means "hidden lotus" in Tibetan, was once the last county seat with a highway among the more than 2,100 administrative counties in the country!
@安静
It is also one of the most mysterious places in Tibet, tucked away in the Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon, and blessed with a unique natural environment that makes it home to a variety of plants from tropical to cold temperate zones.
@秘境墨脱
When the azaleas bloom in April, the snow on the top of the mountain has not yet receded, but above the sea of reckless forests, the colorful alpine flowers have quietly bloomed until the height of summer!

Due to the isolation of Motuo in the past, the alpine rhododendrons here are not well known, and the road in and out of Motuo is also quite difficult, so this place can definitely be regarded as a secret place for enjoying flowers with few people and beautiful scenery!
@巨型蛋挞
This year, you might as well take advantage of the end of the Nyingchi peach blossom season to unlock the peerless spring color of Motuo and have the most beautiful cloud encounter!
Where is Motuo?
Located in the southeast of Tibet, Medog County is the last county where the Brahmaputra River flows through the mainland before the Brahmaputra River enters India, and is the most mysterious county in China and a sacred place in the hearts of Buddhists. This is the lowest altitude of the Tibetan plateau, with an average altitude of 1,100 meters and the lowest point of only 115 meters.
@安静
The 7,782-meter-tall Nanga Bhava, the less than 1,000-meter-long Brahmaputra River, and the huge altitude difference make the world's most extreme landscapes visible here. In the early years, the trip to Motuo was an adventure, with no basic roads, mudslides, landslides, high temperatures, muggy, leeches... It is necessary to go through all kinds of hardships and hardships in order to reach the lotus holy place in the heart.
Therefore, Medog is also the last county in the country to open a road, the first highway in and out of Motuo - Zamo Highway, is the most difficult road in China, only 117 kilometers, but it took 50 years to open to traffic intermittently. Now together with the newly built Paimo Highway, the beautiful natural scenery of Nyingchi-Motuo-Bomi is strung together, passing through forests, canyons and snow-capped mountains along the way, you can enjoy the scenery of the four seasons in one day, which is the ultimate off-road road of "the body is in hell, and the eyes are in heaven"!
/ Paimo Highway /

Starting from Nyingchi City, it is usually the Paimo Highway to enter the Medog area, which is the second highway in Metuo, starting from Pai Town, Milin County, and ending at Beibang Township, Medog County, which will be connected to the whole line on May 16, 2021. After the opening of traffic, it is of great significance to the local people's livelihood and economic development, which greatly shortens the driving distance and time from Nyingchi to Metuo, from 11 hours to 4.5 hours.
@LiN
Almost all of the roads were built on the hiking trail from Pai Township, Milin County to Beibang Township, Metuo County, so the beautiful scenery that used to be seen on foot is now possible by car. This steep highway has an altitude difference of more than 2,890 meters, passing through forests, canyons, snow-capped mountains, and the Brahmaputra River.
Doxiongla Mountain
@FUFU
The first thing to pass through is the boundary mountain at the junction of Milin County and Motuo County - Duoxiongla Mountain, after the tunnel is opened, the problem of seasonal opening of the Paimo Highway is solved. Every year from November to May, Mt. Doxiongla is closed due to heavy snowfall. After the construction of the Duoxiongla Mountain Tunnel, you can go to the county seat of Motuo through the Paimo Highway all year round.
Tiger's mouth
@能吃是福
It is said that "one mountain has four seasons, ten miles of different days", and after passing through the tunnel of the Duoxiongla Mountain, starting from the lag, you will officially enter the rainforest crossing in the depths of the Motuo Gorge, and you can enjoy the colorful natural scenery from the alpine cold to the tropical rainforest in a few hours. And the tiger's mouth, which was once shocked by "natural danger", has now opened the tiger's mouth tunnel, and you can easily drive through.

The Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon is a paradise of flowing water, with steep mountains and steep cliffs and a drop of more than 7,000 meters. In spring, there are also large expanses of alpine rhododendrons blooming in the forests and glaciers along the way. Driving on the Paimo Highway, a beautiful alpine rhododendron suddenly appeared between the surrounding glaciers, full of mountains and snow, as if it was an unexpected encounter with spring!
Back to the township
@立春
Finally, arrive at the end of the Paimo Highway - the Liberation Bridge in Beibang Township, from here to the county seat of Metuo, will go along the Yarlung Zangbo River. The most beautiful scenery is on the road, the rushing Brahmaputra River flows under the valley, surrounded by snow-capped mountains and glaciers and lush forests, the combination of beauty and magnificence, like a fairyland hidden deep in the depths of the snowy plateau.
The fruit pond turned a big corner
@青青草132
On the way from Beiban Township to Motuo, you will also pass through the famous Guoguotang Bend, which is named after the shape of a lollipop, and the name is very cute. This is the best place to see the Brahmaputra River in Metuo, the rushing river water suddenly turns like a snake, which is extremely spectacular, and the canyon is often shrouded in clouds and mist, beautiful like a fairyland!
/ Zamo Highway /
@阿润闯地球
Demotuo can challenge another road into the ink, to the town of Zamu in Bomi County, all the way from the snow-capped mountains to the primeval forest, from the rushing river to the Feiliu waterfall, from the edge of the cliff to the plateau tunnel, each section is beautiful. The Zhamo Highway is the most difficult highway in China, with a total length of only 117 kilometers, but the altitude difference along the way is huge, and there are frequent geological disasters such as landslides, mudslides, heavy rains, and landslides, which began to be built in 1965 and took nearly 50 years.
@安静
There are four speed limit stations on the whole highway, namely 52K, 80K, 108K, and one not far outside the county, with a speed limit of five and a half hours, with an average of only 20 kilometers per hour. The strict speed limit is due to the fact that the road conditions are not good all year round, not only ice slopes, snow corridors, but also flooded roads, rocky roads, waterfalls, rockfall areas, and mudslide areas, which are very challenging to drive.
52K
@藏地旅行 - Lonely Lang
After 52K on the Zhamo Highway, the main open area of the alpine rhododendron is along the route, and the flowers are lush and gorgeous, including bright red, light red, apricot red, snow blue, white, etc. The alpine rhododendrons along the line are decades old, these rhododendron trees can even grow to more than ten meters high, the flowers are inclined down like a waterfall, and the rhododendron trees are connected into a sea of flowers, forming a colorful rhododendron corridor.
Galongla Tunnel
@阿润闯地球
Walk through the primeval rainforest, climb all the way to the elevation, and finally come to the highest point of the entire Zamo Highway, the 3,700-meter-high Galongla Tunnel, which is 3,310 meters long and can be traversed in 5 minutes by car. The Galungla Snow Mountain is the only way to get in and out of Metuo, and the original pass was closed by heavy snow for about eight months every year, but after the tunnel was completed, the seasonal traffic became basically year-round.
Bomi County
@暴走的桃桃
Finally arrived at the end point of Bomi County, although now the road in and out of Motuo is getting better and better, and the mystery of Motuo is slowly fading, but walking on the road to Motuo is the greatest meaning of self-driving!
