UN Certified! This is the World-Class Peach Blossom Sea｜The Most Complete Spring Viewing Guide for Gala Village, Nyingchi

🌸 Every March, when the snow-capped mountains of southeastern Tibet still lie quietly under a silver blanket, the thousand-year-old wild peach forest in Gala Village quietly awakens, blooming its first delicate pink. This small village, recently certified by the United Nations as the "Best Tourism Village," sits peacefully on the gentle slopes of the Niyang River Valley. Looking up, you see the perennial snow-covered ridges of the Nyenchen Tanglha Mountains; around you, morning mist and cooking smoke swirl, and Tibetan stone houses dot the century-old peach trees—like a flowing painting of a "fairyland on earth" 🍃

📅 Best Blooming Period: Around March 20 to April 10 (varies slightly each year, it is recommended to check official "Nyingchi Tourism" updates before traveling)
