'China's Switzerland' sees big tourism push

Surrounded by thick forests and millennia-old snow-capped peaks, Lunang town in Nyingchi city, dubbed "China's Switzerland", is attracting more tourists thanks to its efforts to build an international tourism destination.

Lunang is some 400 kilometers from Lhasa, capital city of Southwest China's Tibet autonomous region.

Located at an average altitude of 3,700 meters alongside national highway 318, Lunang is enriched with biological diversity, agreeable weather, unique ethnic cultures and beautiful landscapes. The Mount Namchak Barwa is not far from there.
