Nyingchi: A Green Paradise in the Heart of Tibet

Exploring the Enigmatic World of Nyingchi

Nyingchi, often referred to as the Grand Seat of the Sun in Tibetan, is a mystical realm renowned for its lush mountains and pristine waters. Situated in the southeastern part of Tibet, this city is embraced by three majestic mountain ranges: the Himalayas, Tangula, and the Hindu Kush. Nyingchi is often dubbed the Switzerland of Tibet and the River Valley of Tibet (Jiang Nan).

A Natural Museum and Gene Pool of Nyingchi

The primitive wooded areas of Nyingchi have impeccably preserved flora, which can only be found in the Tibetan plateau. It boasts of rare species like the Tibetan cypress and the Himalayan cold cedar, regarded as “living plant fossils.” In addition to these, the region is adorned with tree bracken and a diverse array of azaleas. Nyingchi is indeed entitled to be called “the Natural Museum” and “the Natural Gene Pool.” In fact, the region around Buchung Lake is considered to be the very place where the elusive wild man resided.

Diverse Climates and Natural Beauty

Nyingchi’s diverse climates contribute to its exquisite landscapes and attractions. With an average annual rainfall of 650mm and a generous 2,022.2 hours of sunlight, the region enjoys a pleasant average temperature of 8.7 degrees Celsius. The winters are mild, and the summers are refreshingly cool, making it an ideal destination for travellers.

However, it’s important to note that the rainy season, which spans from May to September, can pose risks due to landslides. Travellers should exercise caution and avoid venturing onto the Sichuan-Tibet highway during this period. Nyingchi is also susceptible to natural disasters such as sandstorms, floods, and hailstorms.

Nyingchi, with its diverse climate, pristine landscapes, and unique biodiversity, offers a tantalizing glimpse into the natural beauty of Tibet.

Simple Elegance Rooted in Heritage

Kongbu Traditional Attire

 

Lhoka boasts a warm and humid climate with noticeable climate variations, along with rich flora and fauna. The early inhabitants, primarily engaged in logging, gathering, and hunting, influenced the simplicity of Gongbu Tibetan clothing, primarily featuring the “Guoxiu.” Guoxiu is a wide-shouldered, sleeveless, pullover-style long vest, designed for wind protection and ease of labor.

For men, Guoxiu typically falls just above the knee, while women’s extends to the ankles, adorned with a waistband and adorned with beautiful gold trim. Men’s Guoxiu is often crafted from black or brown Pulu (a traditional Tibetan woolen fabric).

Gongbu Headgear: Unveiling Marital Status

Traditional men’s hats, known as “Jiasha,” resemble small boats and are commonly made of high-quality felt, paired with fabric or silk. Women’s hats have a more square shape, often crafted from brown Pulu or colorful silk, adorned with vibrant patterns. Interestingly, the style of a woman’s Gongbu hat can reveal her marital status — a side-triangle denotes unmarried status, while a rear-triangle indicates marriage.

Gongbu Footwear: Step into Distinctive Elegance

Gongbu Tibetan footwear, especially the men’s “Nazu” (pointed shoes) and festive “Dason” (knightly colored shoes), exudes sophistication in both design and material. Women’s footwear closely resembles men’s, differing slightly in patterns and styles. With a plethora of details, identifying the unique charm of Gongbu Tibetan attire becomes an exciting endeavor during the Gongbu New Year celebration.
