Live Your Best Lives
Gala Peach Blossom Village is located in Zhenba Village, Nyingchi Town. Every spring, as you enter the scenic area and ascend the mountain path, you'll be greeted by a blanket of peach blossoms. Faintly framed by the still-melting snowcapped mountains and dotted with green willows, the scene is truly breathtaking.
Climbing the scenic area's observation tower offers a completely different view. Distant snow-capped mountains are shrouded in morning mist. The rainy season has yet to arrive, and a small river trickles across a broad riverbed, lined with densely packed green willows. Ascending the mountain, the peach groves gradually become more lush, their colors varying in depth and intensity. From afar, they appear elegant and awe-inspiring, while up close, they appear charming and adorable. For those who love flowers and photography, this is the perfect place.
The best time for flowers to bloom is from March 25th to April 5th every year.
