First Bend in Nujiang

This is the only real site of the area. It is between Gongshan and Bingzhongluo, near Bingzhongluo. The bus you are on may stop, otherwise ask, they may stop for a bit to take a picture.

Strangely a few miles down is another bend, which apparently isn't a real bend or it would be the first bend.

A day trip to Tibet

A small Tibetan Village

From Bingzhongluo it is possible to hire a truck to take you to or just across the boarder to Tibet. It is a beautiful drive through a canyon and past some other villages.

There is no real boarder. It was an old women under a tarp waving at us. No passport check, no fees, no big deal. The only trick is if the road is open. Often landslides close the road at some point.

The road to Tibet is the one two the other two villages near by. The road starts in the middle of Bingzhongluo, on the right side as you enter town. It is all dirt.

The view of Fugong

You can just go off hiking from any town or village in the valley. I walked around Fugong out to the west on a dirt trail. The scenery is great. There are farmers and villagers out along the trails who speak little madarin, or english, but are still friendly.

Just wander off somewhere. A trail leads somewhere for a reason. Something will be out there. If you plan to walk a while bring some food and dress in layers, blah, blah. It is pretty remote, be prepared.
