This guide records my super lucky trip to Namcha Barwa～

🏔️Travel tips:
1. You must visit Suosong Village! It’s an excellent spot to view Namcha Barwa, every photo looks like a postcard (it’s recommended to bring some snacks as the village shops have limited supplies)
2. The Sejila Mountain Pass offers amazing views where you can see both Namcha Barwa and Galabailei Peak, two sacred mountains
3. The Yarlung Tsangpo Grand Canyon viewing platform also offers a fantastic perspective; it’s best to go in the evening for a chance to see the golden sunlight on the mountain (I saw it from Suosong Village, it was truly breathtaking)

🚗Transportation tips:
1. Hiring a car from Nyingchi city is the most convenient, about a 2-hour drive
2. You can also join a local one-day small group tour, costing around 300-500 RMB per person
3. If driving yourself, be cautious as the mountain road entering Suosong Village is a bit narrow

💡Useful tips:
1. Be sure to bring a down jacket! The temperature difference between morning and night is huge
2. Sunscreen and sunglasses are essential; the high-altitude UV rays are no joke
3. Download offline maps in advance as some sections have no signal
4. It’s recommended to stay in Suosong Village; opening your window in the early morning to see the snowy mountains is super romantic
