Live Your Best Lives
The Peach Blossom Valley in Bomi County lies in the valley of the Bodu Tsangpo River. Stretching 30 kilometers between Qingduo Town and Xumu Township, where the Bodu Tsangpo River flows, the gorge is known as China's longest. It is a renowned scenic area in Tibet and a key venue for the annual Nyingchi Peach Blossom Festival.
From 2,600 to 3,300 meters above sea level, peach blossoms bloom in succession as the altitude and climate change. The glaciers and snow-capped mountains in the distance and the colorful Tibetan houses hidden by the peach blossoms nearby form a strong visual impact, which can be called a beautiful picture.
Continuing along Taohuagou, you'll find the Bode Zangbo and Quzong Zangbo rivers. The banks of the Bode Zangbo and the cultivated fields on the hillsides are surrounded and stained with the pink of peach trees. Centuries-old peach trees, lushly blooming on their branches, shade the small villages and the colored steel roofs of Tibetan homes.
The peach blossom season in Nyingchi, Tibet is from March 15 to April 20 every year.
