Medog is in the southeast of Tibet, and the Himalayas are like a doting mother, hiding Medog County in the embrace of a snow-capped mountain. The Yarlung Zangbo River turns sharply from the foot of Namjagbarwa Peak and runs straight from north to south. There is a folk song describing the terrain here, "The top of the mountain is among the clouds, and the foot of the mountain is by the river. You can hear people talking, but it takes a day to walk." Precipitous snow-capped mountains, frequent mudslides, and venomous snakes and beasts in the forest made the nearly 300-kilometer-long "Bomi-Medog-Pai Township" road across Medog once known as the "Road of Death". It has become a nightmare for locals and a paradise for explorers.

【Features of this road】

Medog means "flower", also known as Baimagang, which means "hidden lotus". In Tibetan Buddhism, it is called "Baimagang, the pure land of Buddha, the most sacred place among the holy places." Historically, this place has been yearned for by many Buddhists, and believers regard it as the greatest blessing to go to Baimagang once in their life.

[On the way to Medog on foot]

Medog is like an isolated island, but surrounded by mountains, forests, green bamboos, smoke and clouds, it is like a paradise. It is unknown, remote and secluded. It used to have no roads. Even though it is so hidden, it still attracts countless people to explore it.

[Years of team leadership experience]

I have known Medog since 2007, went to Medog, got to know Medog, and I have forgotten the number of times I have led a team to enter Medog on foot in 11 years, but I have formed a deep friendship with Medog, Sister He, Zeng Yanyan, and Xu Laoyao! Going to Medog to lead the team is not only a job, but also the feelings of more than ten years, and the nostalgia for Medog.

Ever since we knew it was the top hiking route in China, and we walked to the route that was about to disappear, our landmark team and I have also forgotten how many people have successfully completed their dream of hiking Medog. Before we bid farewell to this classic hiking route, we are still fortunate to fulfill one of our wishes without leaving any regrets for ourselves. Medog Hiking Landmark will walk with you again.
