October in Chamdo: Pearl in eastern Tibet
The Hengduan Mountains are magnificent and beautiful with fall getting closer in October's Chamdo, where three rivers meet, namely, the Jinsha River, the Lantsang River and the Nu River.
Khampa culture is the core point of Chamdo tourism, with intangible cultural heritage like Shinze dance, Repa dance in Dengqen County and Tibetan Opera.
Chamdo also is dotted with cultural relics, such as Karub ruins, Yanduo ruins, Lessor Enda site and Sengezong ruins.
Also, the ancient Saltern in Yanjing County, the folk houses in Sanyan area of Gongjo County and culture of the Tea Horse Trail all build up the reputation of Chamdo.
November in Nyingchi: simple life in the Yarlung Tsangpo Grand Canyon
The tourist sites in the Yarlung Tsangpo Grand Canyon include the canyon itself, the Namjiagbarwa Peak -- one of the most beautiful mountains in China, the Medog County-the only area inaccessible to roads.
Appreciating the golden yellow forests and the Namjiagbarwa Peak, tourists will be touched by the simplicity of life. They can spend some days resting in the Zhibai Village at the foot of the peak to enjoy the sunrise and sunset.
Breathing the fresh air and eating the simplest food, tourists can rise with the sun and sleep with the moon there, chewing the happiness of life.

December in Lhasa: watching the birds
Lhasa, at an altitude of 3,700 meters, attracts thousands of birds for its wetlands.
Many species of birds, such as black-necked cranes and bar-headed geese, fly to Lhasa to live through the winter.
The Lhalu Wetland and the Hutou Reservoir in the Lhunzhub County are both nice choices for bird watching.
If you love the black-necked cranes, you should definitely go to the Lhunzhub County in December or January, where birds present a unique landscape of Tibet.
