Nyingchi is a "natural photo studio", and every corner is a good view—these spots and angles are super recommended for taking stunning photos!
① Peach Blossom Valley in Galong Town: Stand by the Ni Yang River, take the peach blossoms on the opposite bank and the snow-capped mountains in the distance as the background, take a side shot or a back shot (walking slowly along the river is more natural), the picture is full of poetic and picturesque feeling.
② Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon: Go to the Nanga Bawa Observation Deck, take the Nanga Bawa Peak (the "most beautiful snow mountain in China") as the background, and take photos with the canyon and the Yarlung Zangbo River— it’s a blockbuster in seconds! If you’re lucky to meet the sunrise or sunset shining on Nanga Bawa Peak (the "sun-kissed snow mountain"), the photo effect is even more amazing.
③ Basong Co Lake: Take photos by the lake with the snow-capped mountains and green islands in the lake as the background; or take a boat on the lake, shoot the reflection of the snow-capped mountains on the water surface, the picture is super clean and beautiful.
④ Sejila Pass: Stand at the pass viewing platform, take the winding mountain road and the endless snow-capped mountains as the background, a casual standing or sitting shot is full of the wild beauty of the plateau.
⑤ Lu Lang Lin Hai: Walk into the forest of spruce and pine trees, take the tall forest and the grassland with wild flowers as the background, take a close-up or a panoramic shot— the fresh and natural feeling is full!
Small tip: The best time for taking photos in Linzhi is early morning (7-9 o’clock) and late afternoon (16-18 o’clock), the soft light makes the photos more beautiful; don’t forget to bring a small prop (like a shawl, a hat), which can make the photos more vivid!
