Hanfu Citywalk | How to explore scenic Xizang

Still wondering where to go in Xizang? Save this Citywalk guide for your next adventure! 

Nyingchi: Zhaxigang village

Hidden deep in southeastern Xizang, this dreamy village is known as "the place where immortals live." Surrounded by snow mountains, forests and highland meadows, Zhaxigang has transformed from a small poverty-stricken village into one of Xizang's most beautiful countryside destinations. 

Every corner here feels straight out of a fantasy movie.

Lhasa: More than Potala Palace

Yes, the Potala Palace, Jokhang Temple, Barkhor Bazaar and Sera Monastery all deserve the hype. 

But if you want to discover another side of Lhasa, head to Nimu County's Watermill Tibetan Incense Corridor. 

For over 1,300 years, locals here have used ancient watermills, pine and cypress wood to craft traditional Tibetan incense – an incredible intangible cultural heritage still alive today.

Xigaze: Where everyday life feels special

As Xizang's second-largest city, Xigaze is not only about majestic plateau views. 

Wander through lively streets filled with teahouses, local restaurants and bustling markets, and you will quickly feel the warmth of the city. 

The best part? The smiles and hospitality you meet along the way.
