Peach blossom

Nyingchi, Tibet autonomous region

A great time to visit Nyingchi for the peach blossoms would usually be from March 20 to April 15 each year.

It is more convenient to get a car to drive around the area to view the wild peach forests full of pink petals.

The peach blossom valley in Bomi county, Nyingchi, stretches for 30 kilometers, making it one of the longest in China. Peach blossoms can be seen everywhere－around houses, across farmland and along streams.

Peach trees bloom depending on the altitude and climate, so visitors will have the chance to enjoy the blossoms throughout April.

Mountain peach blossoms mainly grow at an altitude of 2,500 to 4,200 meters in Tibet and are widely distributed in the river valleys of Shigatse, Lhokha and Chamdo. They usually blossom at temperatures between 6 and 14 C.
