Characteristics of Jiangnan in Tibet

People all know that there are Himalayas and Mount Everest in Tibet and grasslands in northern Tibet, but people don't know that there is another beautiful place hidden in a boudoir in Tibet-Linzhi County, which is known as "South Tibet". Linzhi is located in the southeast of Xizang Autonomous Region, China, bordering Qamdo, Naqu, Lhasa, Shannan and other cities, with an average elevation of 3 100 meters, a total area of about1.7 million square kilometers and a population of 1.4 million. Linzhi area is known as "southern Tibet" because of its superior natural conditions, pleasant climate and abundant water resources. The Yarlung Zangbo River runs through here. The planned Lalin Railway will also pass through here.

Edit the geographical overview of this section.

Linzhi is home to ethnic minorities such as Menba and Barrow, and their living habits and religious beliefs retain strong traditional colors and unique national customs. Ancient legends and simple folk customs are linked with totem worship and religious myths of clans and villages, which cast a primitive and mysterious color on these ancient nationalities and distant settlements. The ancient traditional culture, the prevalence of Tibetan Buddhism and local religion make Linzhi have famous temples and other cultural attractions, and form a colorful tourist landscape with unique natural scenery such as Nange Bawa Peak, Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon, Basongcuo, Chayu and Bomi.

Unique geographical features

Linzhi sounds interesting, perhaps because it is located in the east of Tibet. Tibetans gave it an imaginative name. Linzhi, which means "the throne of the sun" in Tibetan, is indeed the place where the sun rises every day in most other parts of Tibet. The flowing water of the Yarlung Zangbo River left a huge turn here, crossing the branch of the Himalayas. Since then, it has become a wide and gentle Yarlung Zangbo River. This mother river in the hearts of Tibetans has been flowing westward for a long time, winding on the majestic Himalayas. It is a long time, but it is a pity that it will never find its way home. The average altitude here is about 3000 meters, but the lowest point is only 152 meters, which is lower than other parts of Tibet in terms of height. It is the zone with the biggest difference in vertical landforms in the world, full of green and a dynamic world. Many rare plants and well-preserved virgin forests make it a "natural natural museum". The green Linzhi is inseparable from the embrace of mountains. The Himalayas and Nyainqentanglha Mountain extend in parallel from west to east, and "Nanga Bawa" is the Bai Xuefeng on the Dragon Ridge. It is 7787 meters above sea level, the highest snow peak in the southern Himalayas, and meets the Hengduan Mountains, forming a unique terrain surrounded by mountains.

Climatic characteristics of Linzhi

Linzhi is located in the southeast of Xizang Autonomous Region, with Qamdo and Naqu in the east and north, Lhasa and Shannan in the west and southwest, and India and Myanmar in the south. The Himalayas and Nyainqentanglha Mountains were born like two dragons, extending in parallel from west to east and butting with Hengduan Mountains in the east. The three mountains are located in the west, north, east and south of Linzhi area, with high terrain in the north and low terrain in the south. The lower part of the southeast just faces the Indian Ocean and the Pacific Ocean to form a grand canyon, and the warm currents from the two oceans keep pouring in all the year round, forming a special tropical humid and semi-humid climate in Linzhi, with an annual rainfall of about 650 mm, an annual average temperature of 8.7℃, an annual average sunshine of 2022.2 hours and a frost-free period of 180.

Edit the tourism resources of this paragraph.

Linzhi's unique climatic conditions and natural environment have created rich tourism resources. Linzhi, with a forest area of about 2.64 million hectares and a forest coverage rate of 46. 1%, is the third largest forest area in China, where 80% of the forests in Tibet are concentrated. The virgin forest in Guang Mao is rich in forestry resources, undergrowth products and exotic animal and plant resources. The entire Linzhi area is from south to north, and almost all kinds of vegetation are concentrated from Hainan Island to the Arctic. More than 3500 species have been discovered and confirmed. There are Medog National Animal and Plant Protection Zone, Chayu Cibagou Rare Animal and Plant Protection Zone, Bomigang Township Coniferous Forest Protection Zone, Linzhi Buttering up to the ancient giant cypress and other protection zones. Linzhi's original forest landscape is well preserved, including cypress, Himalayan fir, living plant fossil "tree fern" and 100 species of rhododendron. It is known as "natural natural museum" and "natural green gene bank". Among them, the area around Buqun Lake is also a place frequented by legendary savages. Snow-capped mountains, deep valleys and forests constitute Linzhi's unique natural landscape. The snowy peaks in the distant mountains rise abruptly, and countless silver lights shine under the blue sky under the sunlight; Adjacent to the canyon, the mountains are undulating and criss-crossing, with vast forests, towering pines and cypresses, green everywhere and dyed layers of forests; At the foot of the mountain, golden rape blossoms are fragrant for hundreds of miles, attracting butterflies to fly. It is really a wonderful landscape painting of "four seasons in one mountain, ten miles in different days". The magical nature inlaid a "green pearl" in the southeast of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.

Edit the best travel time in this section.

The climate in most areas of Linzhi is mild and humid all the year round, and travel is not affected by seasons and climate. But Bomi, Chayu and Medog in the southeast of this area are excluded, because they are in a special small environmental circle and have their own particularity. Traveling in this area is greatly influenced by the weather and seasons. For example, in the Zangbo River area of Bomipalong, during the rainy season from May to September every year, a large amount of rainfall will lead to natural disasters such as landslides, mudslides and landslides, which often cause the Sichuan-Tibet highway east of Bayi Town in this area to be interrupted. Due to the steep terrain and changeable climate, the Yarlung Zangbo River Grand Canyon in Medog can only enter and exit from May to the end of 10 every year, and most of the mountain passes that must pass through at other times are blocked by heavy snow, making it difficult for people and animals to pass.
