Nyingchi PrefectureIt sits at the southern part of Tibet. Affected by multi-type climates of sub-tropic and high-frigid zones, it holds rich plant and animal recourses. High-mountain, rushing water, and little manpower effect keep original natural scenes well. It is a pure land with little human touching in the world. Nyingchi Area has different sceneries from the other areas of Tibet. No exposed mountain and oxygen-lack feature of plateau makes the mountain forests of Nyingchi like those in Northern American and Alps. Nyingchi Area is a Holy Land for mountaineering and hiking. It constitutes seven counties; Medog County is the only county having no road connection but has rich natural propagation resources there.
Chamdo PrefectureIt sits at the eastern part of Tibet Autonomous Region, upriver Lantsang River, and converge place of Angqu, Zhaqu, Sequ, and Lantsang River. Chamdo Prefecture constitutes eleven counties. Namely, they are Chamdo, Jiangda, Gongjue, Leiwuqi, Dingqing, Chaya, Bashu, Zhuogong, Mangkang, Luolong, and Bianba. Affected by incision effect of “Three River” water system, multi altiplano characters bearing complex landform structures, weather types and arrangements of plant growth thus have been formed in Chamdo. There are vast fertile meadow, wheat land, green forest, and various wild animals. Its amazing natural sight draws a colorful picture of grand Chamdo altiplano. (Tibet Entry Permit, Alien’s Travel Permit and border pass port audited by PLA is a have-to for foreigners)
Lake Basum
Located about 90 kilometers west of Gongbogyamda County, the Basum Lake is an alpine lake at the middle and upper reaches of the Ba River, which is the largest tributary of the Nyang River. The Basum lake surface is on average about 3,538 meters above sea level. The Lake Basum covers an area of 25.9 square kilometers. The deepest part is about 60 meters from the surface. The blue, limpid lake water and the verdant mountain around the lake combine into a charming scene that can be compared with those in Switzerland.
In summer and autumn, when flowers bloom and the air is filled with their fragrance, bees and butterflies are seen shuttling and fluttering among them. Bears, leopards, goats, musk deer, Tibetan snow roosters and other wild animals look for food in the forest. An islet in the center of the lake is an enormous sheep-back stone left by glaciation eons ago. Following the direction of the glaciers movement, one can discern distinct traces. On the islet stands a monastery of the Yellow Sect, which was built in the 17th century.
Going upstream from the Basum Lake to the source of the mainstream and the tributaries, one can see large mountain glaciers. With abundant snow, the long tongues of the lakes often stretch into the lush and green forest, the white snow shining through green trees. The bank of the lake is dotted with small villas of unique shapes, making a beautiful and comfortable holiday village.
In 1997, the Basum Lake was listed by the World Tourist Organization as one of the world’s best tourist spots.
Ranwu Lake
Ranwu Lake is just by the Sichuan-Tibet road, surrounded by glaciers and Snow Mountains. Thawed snow makes the body; the water appears different colors in different seasons, from aquamarine to turquoise. By the lake are the verdant grassland and plants.
The Niyang River
The 307.5 km long Niyang River, the largest one of Yaluzhangbu among its five tributes, originates from the Cuomuliangla, west of the Mila Mountain. Its origin, 5000 meters above the sea level, took its form by the function of the ancient glaciers. The river flows eastwards and joins Yaluzhangbu in Cemeng Nyingchi. With a drop height of 2273 meters, an average flow of 538 cubic meters per minute and a yearly flux of 22 billion cubic meters the river boasts an aquatic power of 2.08 million kilowatts.
The river is the sad tear of the holy mountain as the legend says. Viewed as the mother river of the people in Gongbu, its water is crystal clean owing to the well-preserved vegetation in the river reaches.
The Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon
Everyone has reason to cheer the discovery of China’s largest canyon. In early October 1998, the canyon was given its official name, Yarlung Zangbo Daxiagu (Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon). The Yarlung Zangbo River runs eastwards along the northern foothills of the Himalayas. The lower reaches of the river cut through the mountain range before making a sharp U-turn around Namjagbarwa Peak in Pai, Namling County, in eastern Tibet—the starting point of the Grand Canyon. The Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon has been confirmed as the largest in the world. It is 496.3 kilometers long, 56.3 kilometers longer than the Colorado Grand Canyon, previously considered the world’s longest. It is 5,382 meters deep, much deeper than the 3,200 meters of Peru’s Colca Canyon, previously known as the world’s deepest canyon.
The canyon, with its climatic advantages and tropical and subtropical bio-resources, will be a “museum” of species and a gene “storehouse.” However, the core of the canyon is still a depopulated zone. No one has ever gone through it on foot and no one has ridden its turbulent current. It includes the Great Turn Valley, where the Yarlung Zangbo River makes a 180-degree turn. The Medog Nature Reserve was set up there in 1986. Many scientists visited the reserve, but no one has ever hided the length of the canyon. The word Medog means flower in Tibetan language. It is located 400 kilometers southeast to Lhasa. It is the only county in Tibet without road links to the outside world. The reserve, which has an elevation of 600 meters and covers 626.2 square kilometers, making it a complete natural ecological environment, is famous as the site of the northern most tropical forests in China. The reserve is home to about 4,000 species of plants, accounting for half of the plant species in Tibet and 1 per cent of those in the world. So far, 21 very rare species have been discovered there. Rugged terrain and frequent landslides make it impossible for a road to remain open all the year round. A team of 40-odd Chinese scientists and journalists set off on October 19, 1998 to conquer the Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon. The scientists on the trek were from such fields as atmospheric science, botany, zoology, geography and environmental science Rebecca Lee Lok-si, and explorer from Hong Kong and vice-chairman of the China Association of Scientific Expeditions, took part. The team sent 20 people on a walk through the canyon in April 1998, and this was good preparation for the large-scale expedition.
