Located in the Nyingchi region of Xizang, Namcha Barwa rises 7,782 meters and stands as the highest peak on the eastern tip of the Himalayas. Its massive, triangular, snow-capped summit, perpetually veiled in cloud, has earned it poetic epithets like "Shy Maiden Peak," and it ranks among China's most stunning snowy mountains. Together with the Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon, Namcha Barwa forms a geographic spectacle unparalleled in China.
