July on the Sichuan-Tibet Route

The Sichuan-Tibet Route boasts the most gorgeous route to Tibet, as well as the most dangerous one. July, also before the rainy season starts, is the best time for tourists to travel through the route to Tibet.

The route includes the south line and the north one, diverging in Xindu Bridge, known as "a paradise for photographers."

The two lines have the following most beautiful places in China named by the magazine of Chinese National Geography:

Dampa Mountain Village, one of the six most beautiful villages; Midui Galcier, one of the six most beautiful glaciers; Lingzhi Spruce Forest, one of the ten most beautiful forests; Namjiagbarwa Peak and Gonggar Snow Mountain, two of the most beautiful snow mountains.
