#Buddha Palm Dunes Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
The Danang Buddha Palm Dunes
The Danang Buddha Palm Dunes, also known as the Danang Dunes or Buddha Palm Dunes, are located on the north bank of the Yarlung Tsangpo River in Milin County, Nyingchi region. They are named after their location, 'Danang Dunes', and are a famous mid-river dune of the Yarlung Tsangpo River, belonging to the desert geomorphology formed by aeolian deposition. Under the blue sky, the dunes are backed by the lush and towering green mountains, and the blue Yarlung Tsangpo River flows gently in front of the dunes. The beige dunes and their reflections resemble two giant Buddha palms coming together in prayer, which is why they are also known as the 'Buddha Palm Dunes'.
A girl happily playing in the winter in Linzhi for two days
🌟I recently went to Linzhi, took the last flight of Southern Airlines, it was really great! Winter in Tibet is very friendly, the weather is super good, almost all sunny days. And the cost is much less than the peak season, almost all attractions are free, highly recommended!💫👍
🌟Considering that the local transportation in Linzhi is not very convenient, I made a lot of strategies, consulted the opinions of locals, including the owner of the homestay, the contact person of the car rental company, and the front desk of the hotel, etc. They provided me with the latest weather and road conditions (you must understand the icing situation in winter first). Combined with my budget, I decided to take a self-driving trip. Of course, the premise is that I must have enough driving experience, and it is not recommended for novices who are familiar with long-distance mountain driving skills.🚗🏔️
1️⃣DAY1: After arriving at Linzhi Airport at about 13:00, I had lunch on the plane in advance (because the play time is limited, so I have to compress the meal time). After getting the rental car, I set off directly.
🚗The route is as follows: Yani National Wetland Park (Pictures 1 and 2, about half an hour from the airport) → Yidanniang Buddha Palm Dune Scenic Area Mountain Motorcycle Club (Don't navigate directly to Buddha Palm Dune, see Picture 3) → Suosong Village Homestay Waiting for the sunrise (see Picture 4).
🔔This section of the road is easy to drive, because you will encounter many Tibetan pilgrims, and there are many speed testing points on the road, so the overall speed is about 40-60 miles. There is plenty of time, just take it slow and take pictures!📸✨
2️⃣DAY2: The sunrise is relatively late in winter, and you can set off at about 10 o'clock. First stroll around in Suosong Village, admire Namjagbarwa Peak from different angles, and then go to Lulang.
🚗The route is as follows: Cloud Top Courtyard → Fairyland → Jimei Hotel → Gongzundem Farm (These attractions are all for viewing the snow-capped mountains. If you want to sleep more or avoid aesthetic fatigue, you can compress the time) → Depart at about 11 o'clock Sejila Mountain Pass Viewing Platform (first stop to see the snow-capped mountains, take a short rest, see Pictures 5, 6, and 7) → Lulang Forest Viewing Platform → Lulang Town (lunch) → Zaxigang Village (Maka Farm, see Pictures 8 and 9, you can see the cows and horses on the snow-capped grassland, have a cup of coffee and take a short rest) → Sejila Mountain Pass Viewing Platform (sunrise, see Picture 10) → Return to the hotel in Linzhi city.
🔔The section of the road to the Sejila Mountain Pass Viewing Platform is the 318 National Road. The road conditions are a bit icy, and the traffic flow is relatively large, so you must drive carefully. The car I rented at the time was a regular rear-drive sedan, without anti-skid chains, so be more careful when you see the sign indicating icy conditions. There is no problem if you drive slowly!❄️🚙
3️⃣DAY3: Take a walk in Linzhi city in the morning, if you have time, you can go to Binjiang Grassland Forest Park. The plane started to return at 13:00 at noon.🌈😄
This is the only place in China where you can see the desert and snow mountains in the same frame
This is probably the only place in China where you can see 'desert, snow mountains, river, forest' in the same frame. On the way from Linzhi to Suosong Village to watch the Nanjia Bawa Peak, there is a place where you can see the snow mountain dunes, and the Yarlung Zangbo River flows under her feet. It is a niche attraction in Linzhi, Tibet, 'Danniang Buddha's Palm Dune'.
Buddha's Palm Dune Photo Tutorial:
1 Try to go on a sunny day as much as possible. Without sunlight, the effect of the photos is not satisfactory. With sunlight, blue sky and white clouds, it is more suitable for shooting snow mountains and deserts in the same frame.
2 Must go early!! The scenic area opens at 9:00. If you arrive at the scenic area early, you can see the sand that has not been stepped on by tourists, which is more suitable for shooting the clean feeling of the desert!
3 Try to use drone aerial photography as much as possible. Aerial photography can shoot the same frame of river water, snow mountains and desert, and the whole scene will be more shocking~
4 You can use a camera telephoto to shoot characters, rain, and snow mountains in the same frame. Shooting upwards from a low position can create a very shocking feeling of characters and snow mountains in the same frame~
Buddha's Palm Dune Guide:
