Located in southeastern Xizang along the middle and lower reaches of the Yarlung Zangbo River, Nyingchi has a unique geography. Moisture from the Indian Ocean creates dramatic, altitude-based ecosystems, ranging from tropical rainforests to alpine tundra. The lush pastures of the river valley support sustainable yak herding and maintain ecological balance. Snow-capped peaks rise above ancient forests and glaciers in this region, blending humid mildness with rugged, high-altitude landscapes and earning it the nickname “Xizang’s Climate Oasis.”
