Nyingchi "Peach Blossom Valley" is a wonderful natural paradise

Nyingchi, or "Throne of the Sun" in Tibetan, is located in southeast Tibet, where the Himalaya and Nyainqentanglha Mountains extend parallel from west to east like huge dragons, joining the Hengduan Mountains in the east. It is adjacent to Yunan and Qamdo to the east and northeast, Naqu to the north, Lhasa to the west and Shannan to the southwest. It is a northern neighbor to India and Myanmar, with a border 1,006.5 kilometers long.

There is a wild peach forest about 5 kilometers southeast of the Nyingchi county. The local people call it "Peach Blossom Valley". Peach Blossom Valley is surrounded by mountains on three sides. The streams in the forest flow with water so clear one can see to the bottom. Countless ripe peaches hang on the trees and numerous species of birds sing in their branches. The Peach Blossom Valley is a wonderful natural paradise.
The wild peach forest is a part of the forest zone in Nyingchi, and locals have come to cherish the peach trees not only as an evergreen ornamental plant, but as delicious fruit and even medicine.

Every March and April the peach blossoms of Nyingchi bloom all over the mountains and plains, giving occasion to the annual "Peach Blossom Festival" which attracts numerous tourists from both China and abroad.
