Things to do in Lhorong

The scenic area is well-developed, but there are no services available. The sheer size of the area, including the parking lot, makes it seem like a very impressive attraction. However, it's likely just natural scenery, and perhaps a bit overdeveloped. Aside from that, the natural scenery is indeed beautiful; the sheer number of cypress trees is quite impressive. Each tree even has an approximate age label, making me feel like I'd traveled back in time. I didn't see the whole thing; I went alone, and there weren't many people, but it was still a wonderful experience.

The Yarlung Tsangpo River is China's longest plateau river and one of the world's highest-altitude major rivers, often referred to as the "Mother River of the Plateau." It originates from the Jiemayangzong Glacier on the northern slopes of the Himalayas, its name in Tibetan meaning "snowmelt flowing from the high mountains." This great river flows eastward from its source, sometimes wide and gentle, sometimes roaring and turbulent, nourishing the land and life of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. The Yarlung Tsangpo River offers diverse landscapes along its course, showcasing the majestic grandeur of the Earth's "Third Pole" from its source glacier to its downstream canyons. South of Nyingchi, the river cuts through the Himalayas, forming the world-famous Yarlung Tsangpo Grand Canyon. This canyon stretches 504.6 kilometers from Daduoka Village in Milin City in the north to Baxika Village in Motuo County in the south, with an average depth of 2268 meters and a maximum depth of 6009 meters, making it undeniably the deepest and longest canyon in the world. The core area of ​​the canyon forms a massive U-shaped bend around Namcha Barwa Peak, characterized by towering mountains, deep valleys, and swift-flowing water. The downstream section of the canyon has a significant drop in elevation and rapid currents, making it one of the world's richest and most concentrated areas of hydropower resources. The canyon region also boasts some of the world's most abundant rare biological resources. Currently, the nation has begun construction of the Yarlung Tsangpo Hydropower Station, a super-large hydropower station, here.

Located on the banks of the Jingjiang River in Nanjing County, the island in the center of Lake Xin Island is a silted sandbar covering approximately 0.5 square kilometers and is the core part of the riverside park. The island has a unique shape, resembling a dragon's pearl from afar, or a giant ship with sails unfurled. The island's milky-white "sail" shapes, paired with railings, give it the appearance of sailors poised for launch. Two earthen building-shaped structures stand on the island: the County Cultural Center and the Youth Activity Center. The Dongxi Kiln Museum, showcasing porcelain from the Southern Song to the Ming and Qing dynasties, is also located here. The musical fountain on the island is a major highlight. Located on the viewing platform south of the Cultural Center, the fountain is 110 meters long and 25 meters wide. Themed "Hometown of Tulou, Dream Fulfilled in Nanjing" and "China's Orchid Valley," its main plan is composed of the shapes and curves of the Tianluokeng Tulou cluster. The fountain uses a floating pontoon design and is equipped with laser water curtains, beam lights, and other equipment, presenting a beautiful and dynamic water show through sound, light, and electricity technology. It also features weekend and holiday modes to enhance the viewing experience.

Laigu Glacier, one of the world's three largest glaciers, is located in Ranwu Town, Basu County, Qamdo Prefecture, Tibet. It offers a glimpse into a dreamlike wonderland of 10,000-year-old blue ice. The crystal-clear ice, snow-capped mountains, and glacial lakes create a breathtaking spectacle, akin to stepping back into the Ice Age and experiencing the power of nature. The best viewing period is from December to February, when the ice is solid and at its largest. At an altitude of approximately 4,200 meters, be prepared for cold and altitude sickness, and crampons are recommended for safe trekking.

It is known as the most beautiful primeval forest in China and a natural oxygen bar. It is very pleasant to walk in it. There is a lake in the forest - Caohu Lake. It is not large but the water is clear, reflecting the snow-capped mountains, blue sky and white clouds, which is beautiful.

The biggest advantage of Benri Scenic Area is its beautiful scenery and proximity to the city. The Niyang River and Yani Wetland are stunning, and I even saw many Tibetan pilgrims circumambulating the mountain. I visited nine years ago, and it feels like a lot of manpower and resources have been invested in over the years. Extensive afforestation has been carried out, viewing platforms have been built, boardwalks have been constructed, and recreational activities like rafting and yachting have been added. The scenery is still as beautiful as ever, and the service and management are even better! 👍
