The Peach Blossom Valley

There is a wild peach forest about 5 kilometres away from the southeast of the Nyingchi county. The local people call it Peach Valley. The Peach Blossom Valley is surrounded by mountains on three sides. And there are screams in the forest with clear water that one can see the bottom. Countless ripen peaches are hung on the trees and birds are singing in the trees. The Peach Blossom Valley is a wonderful natural paradise and fruit base.

The wild peach forest is a part of the forest zone in Nyingchi. The economic value is not less than other plants. Peach tree is not only an evergreen ornamental plant, its fruit and nucleolus can be used for food and medicine.

Every March and April peachblossoms of Nyingchi bloom all over the mountains and plains and the annual "Peachblossom Festival" is held here, which attracts numerous tourists from hinterland and other countries.
