Free Bulong Valley, where you can snap stunning photos of snow-capped mountains and grasslands!

This is Bulong Valley in the Tangbula Hundred-Mile Gallery— a hidden gem that’s uncrowded, pristine, and completely free! In May, you’ll see snow-capped mountains 🏔️ and blooming wildflowers 🌼 on the grasslands. It’s truly no less spectacular than any paid attraction! 📍Navigate to "Bulong Hot Springs" to get here. Before reaching the hot springs, your 📱 phone will still have signal! ⚠️ 🚘 Turn off Provincial Highway 315 and drive about 20 km—every stretch is scenic! 1️⃣ The entire route is paved, except for the last 3-4 km of gravel road to Bulong Hot Springs. 2️⃣ Sedans can make the trip, but the mountain roads are narrow—just drive slowly when passing other vehicles. 3️⃣ The area is barely commercialized, so bring your own food and drinking water. 4️⃣ Visit duration: About 1.5 hours for photos and sightseeing. 5️⃣ If hiking to the wild hot springs, plan for half a day. ‼️ Mountain weather changes fast—avoid hiking to the wild hot springs on rainy days! Safety first! 📷 Best photo spots 🎉 1️⃣ Drive to the mountaintop road—this stretch offers breathtaking views of grasslands, snow-capped peaks, forests, and river valleys. There are several kilometers of scenic spots to pull over and snap pics. 2️⃣ The downhill road toward the hot springs is also picturesque, though parking is limited. Near the valley’s left side, a wooden gate marks a small parking spot—perfect for capturing river, valley, and grassland vistas! 3️⃣ Further ahead, wider parking spots by the river offer shots of the water, forests, and snowy peaks. 4️⃣ Beyond lies the gravel road leading to Bulong Hot Springs Hotel. 📣 Once the Duku Highway opens, you can descend from Qiaoerma into Tangbula Hundred-Mile Gallery and then explore Bulong Valley!
