When is the best time to go to Geelong?

The best time in Geelong: Shigatse has abundant sunshine and mild climate, with an average annual temperature of 6. 19℃. The weather and tourist facilities here are good, and you can enjoy the beautiful scenery here at any time, but winter is not as lush and vibrant as summer.

Picea longifolia is a rare tree species in China, which is distributed in Chongse-Bucun area below Geelong in the southern Himalayas. Pinus sylvestris and Picea sylvestris in Tibet are relatively concentrated. The people's government of the autonomous region has now approved it as a nature reserve, making it a natural base for scientific research, introduction and propagation of these two kinds of precious trees.

Jilong Zangbo flew south through the dense forest along the winding valley. The mountains on both sides of the valley are towering, with an altitude of 18 10 meters to more than 6000 meters. The snow and ice on the top of the mountain, the vast forest on the mountainside and the surging water at the foot of the mountain form a colorful picture. Special natural conditions have bred a variety of trees, shrubs, vines and herbs.

Precious Tibetan pine and spruce were cut into pieces. In recent years, many botanists and forestry experts in China visited and explored this treasure land. The long-leaved pine in Tibet, with slender and drooping needles, looks as proud as a peacock from a distance and is ready to go. According to the survey, Pinus sylvestris var. mongolica is endemic to Himalayan region. Spruce is native to Geelong, but also distributed in India, Nepal, Bhutan, Sikkim, Pakistan and Afghanistan. In Geelong, Pinus sylvestris var. Tibet is vertically distributed between 18 10 m and 2550 m above sea level, and horizontally distributed along the Yangmutai line in the Tibetan Valley of Jilong, mostly near Jiangcun, and often appears in the form of massive pure forests. Pinus sylvestris var. mongolica. Tibet can not only be used as a garden ornamental tree species, but also an excellent timber tree species and fast-growing tree species. Its growth is higher than that of Qiao Song, Abies himalayana, Betula alnoides, Quercus alpina, etc. The volume per plant can reach more than 7 cubic meters. The long-leaved pine in Tibet has the characteristics of resisting forest fires because of its high branches and thick bark. A mixed forest of Pinus sylvestris var. mongolica, Qiao Song and other tree species near Jiangcun was destroyed by fire at 1950. Only Pinus sylvestris var. mongolica stands tall and graceful.

Picea longifolia is vertically distributed between 2150m and 3100m above sea level. It is distributed horizontally in the valley along the river in Jilong Zangbo Basin, mainly in the areas of Chongse and Jifu, and the volume of individual trees is above cubic meters. Spruce with long leaves is tall and straight, and its branches are as soft as weeping willows, which can be compared with cedar and is also a good building material. Its growth is second only to that of Qiao Song, but faster than that of Abies himalayana, Betula platyphylla and Quercus alpine.

Geological data show that 10 million years ago, there were no snow-capped mountains and ice peaks here, but there were beautiful scenery everywhere. At present, all kinds of tropical and tropical plants are growing on the barren hills of Woma village at an altitude of about 4000. The distribution area of Mongolian Scotch pine and spruce in Tibet is much larger than it is now. With the rise of the Himalayas, the flora has changed, and some trees and shrubs have retreated to the south. After tens of millions of years of natural succession, this flora has formed in the Geelong Valley, and the long-leaved pine and spruce in Tibet have been preserved in this special microclimate environment.

The unique function of nature, because of its high mountains, dense forests and deep valleys, has become a good place for game movement to grow and multiply. In addition to long-tailed langurs, rhesus monkeys, leopards, black bears, snow leopards, muntjac, red deer, lynx, rock sheep, leopard cats and other mammals, there are pheasants, peacock pheasants, Tibetan pheasants, Tibetan snow chickens, blue chickens and other birds. Annoying poisonous snakes or non-poisonous snakes are not uncommon in nature reserves. Because the forest is warm and humid, there are more than 80 kinds of medicinal materials such as Gastrodia elata, Fritillaria, Ganoderma lucidum and Bitter Coptis.

There are many hot springs in Geelong Nature Reserve, the water temperature is over 40 degrees, which is sweet and delicious, especially the hot springs near Sasun. The local people say that this mineral water can cure many diseases. Every autumn, people come from hundreds of miles away to drink mineral water or take a bath, and the sick people are expected to recover.

In the nature reserve, due to the disparity in altitude, a unique natural landscape is formed. There is not only obvious competition in vertical distribution of plants, but also complex floristic composition. In this vast forest, there are spectacular waterfalls, wonderful mountain scenery, bright flowers and pleasant birds singing, which give people beautiful enjoyment. When you walk through the forest along the rugged path in the reserve, sometimes you will find a high water column flying down from the Baizhang cliff, just like a white dragon flying in the air, shaking the valley; Sometimes there is a waterfall-like veil, and the rainbow is spectacular under the sunlight. The strange peaks in the forest are abrupt, shaded by green trees, surrounded by clouds and beautiful scenery. In spring and March, colorful azaleas decorate the reserve more beautifully. A visit to Geelong Nature Reserve at this time is really refreshing and unforgettable. It can be said that the trip to Huangshan does not look at the mountains, and Geelong returns without looking at the mountains.
