Complete Guide to Family Trips in Motuo! Check in at Secret Scenic Spots + Transportation Tips All in One!

Is Motuo, recommended by Hu Ge, really worth visiting? It used to be the only county in China that required a ticket to enter and was the last county to be connected by road. Here you’ll find snow-capped mountains, waterfalls, and ancient villages, each view breathtaking. This is Motuo, Tibet~ How to get to Motuo? 🚗 Self-driving: Currently, the only way to enter Motuo is via the Zamo Highway. Note that driving is prohibited after 8 PM, and a "single exit, double entry" policy is in effect (for example, on odd days only exit allowed, on even days only entry allowed). 🚌 Shuttle bus: The only shuttle runs between Nyingchi and Motuo, departing from Bayi Town in Nyingchi (leaves at 8 AM). ⚠ Note: ✔ You must bring your border pass and ID card, or you will not be allowed to enter! ⏰ Best travel time: Recommended April-May or September-November, when the climate is pleasant and the scenery is most beautiful~ About Motuo Motuo means "flower" 🌺 in Tibetan. Located in Nyingchi, Tibet, it is the only county in China isolated on the southern slope of the Himalayas. It used to require a ticket to enter, but the ticket was canceled on March 16, 2023—super considerate! 🔥 Must-visit Attractions List Yarlung Tsangpo Grand Canyon The world's largest canyon, with magnificent rivers, lakes, snow mountains, and glaciers! In March-April, peach blossoms bloom, and the river and flower sea reflect each other, creating a picturesque scene 🌸. Guoguo Tang Big Bend A bend in the Yarlung Tsangpo River shaped like a lollipop~ The viewing platform offers views of banana groves and river water, stunning scenery perfect for photos! Galongla Snow Mountain The "sacred mountain" lives up to its name, with dazzling snowy peaks 🏔! The Galongla Heavenly Pool is as clear as a gem, and Galong Temple is also very distinctive. Namjagbarwa Peak A sharp triangular peak piercing the clouds, incredibly impressive! Mirage Viewing Platform Overlooks the Yarlung Tsangpo River sunrise 🌅, sea of clouds, and panoramic view of the county—a visual feast! Gelin Village A popular "paradise" village! Spring-like all year round, it’s the best place to view Namjagbarwa Peak and home to China’s tallest Bhutan pine. A must-visit! The beauty of Motuo can only be truly understood by experiencing it yourself! Bring your kids and explore this snowy flower city together~📸✨

I took my parents to Tibet to fulfill their wish and chose this relatively low-altitude 3-day tour to start. The itinerary included both established scenic spots and new internet-famous ones.
