Nyingchi Prefecture
Nyingchi
Located on the lower reaches of the Yarlung Zangbo River, Nyingchi is 3,000 meters above sea level. It has humid climate and beautiful scenery, so it also named "the Switzerland of Tibet". The inhabitants here are mainly the Moinbas and the Lhobas. Nyingchi is attractive with the Namjagbarwa, the Great Gorge of the Yarlung Zangbo River, Basumco, Zayu, and Bome.
Bayi Town
It is both a newly flouring industrious town and the seat of Nyingchi Administration. The town is surrounded by a thick, beautiful forest. The temperature is moderate and rainfall abundant. It is not only suitable for planting crops and vegetables but also for visiting tourists.

Like a shy girl, Basongcuo never intentionally displays her beauty to others. She quietly lies in the embrace of the snow mountains and forest, just as the verse going ¡°
