How to get to Medog?

Medog County, the only county without roads in China, is the last county in China where the Yarlung Zangbo River flows before entering the Indian Assam Plain, and the most remote county in southeastern Tibet. Located at the southern foot of the eastern end of the Himalayas, with an area of 1 10,000 square kilometers, it is inhabited by ethnic minorities such as Menba and Loba.

Medog is called "Apollo Baimagang" in Tibetan Buddhist classics, which means "hidden lotus". It is said that the whole terrain is very similar to a supine picture of the goddess Dorje Palma, so it is said that Dorje Palma was transformed from her own body and regarded as a holy place by Buddhist believers.

Medog is also known as Baimagang. In Tibetan Buddhism, it is called "Baimagang, the pure land of Buddhism and the most unique among the holy places". The more famous rattan bridges in Medog include the back collapse rattan bridge and Jiong Xing rattan bridge, both of which are about 400 meters long. Among them, Medog Dexing rattan bridge spans the Yarlung Zangbo River and has a history of more than 300 years. The whole rattan bridge is tubular suspension, mostly located in the dangerous reach of the canyon. When walking on it, the bridge is blown by human gravity and river wind, and the swing amplitude is very large, but the whole bridge is approximately sealed and quite safe. Medog's famous landscape is "Liusuo", which is a bit like crossing a river with reeds, but it takes a lot of courage and balance skills to slide to the other side with his back to the river at high speed.

In the eyes of Tibetans, Medog is a "lotus land" for religious believers, also known as "Baimagang". In a sense, Medog exists as a symbol. It is the last county in China that has no access to roads. It is located in the depths of the Yarlung Zangbo River Grand Canyon, which is the first in the world. Some people say, don't talk in front of people who have been to Medog, which means that there is no more difficult way in the world than to go to Medog. But the beauty of Medog's swimming also comes in danger.
