See, this is Motuo, located in the embrace of Nyingchi City, Tibet Autonomous Region, and is the only shining pearl on the land of China embedded in the southern slopes of the Himalayas.
This is the last uncarved and untouched pure land in China. Due to its remote location, Motuo was able to retain its most primitive natural features and cultural customs, as if it were an independent fairyland.

The last county seat in China to open to traffic
Before 2013, the land of Metuo, like a secret place of independence, was known as "the most difficult place to reach in China".
This is not only inaccessible to planes and trains, but also by car. Due to the unpredictable climate of Metuo, earthquakes, landslides, landslides, and mudslides have become the norm. The complexity of the terrain is breathtaking, with steep mountains and rocks as hard as iron.
Therefore, the construction of roads in Medog is not a single difficulty, but a series of great problems that are difficult to overcome.
However, the state has never wavered in its determination to build the Medog Highway. After 52 years, from 1961 to 2013, the 117.28-kilometer-long Zhamo Highway was finally opened.
Behind this first highway in Motuo is the heroic sacrifice of more than 200 workers, and it is the brilliant achievement of thousands of people after half a century and countless attempts and failures.
The mysterious "island of the plateau"
At one time, Motuo seemed to be isolated from the world, like an independent "plateau island", with few human tracks.
However, with the opening of the highway, this secluded island has finally unveiled its mysteries and revealed its stunning beauty.
It is like a shining pearl embedded in the southern foothills of the Himalayas, like a fairyland on earth, which is breathtaking.
