The Yaluzhangbu Grand Canyon is a world-class scenic spot in Tibet and it is of the same significance as the Potala Palace and Zhumulangma. Used to be a treacherous canyon hidden in inner Tibet, it has been "rediscovered" today as a new and challenging tourist destination in the east of the world.
In the ancient Tibetan language "Yaluzhangbu" means the water flowing down from the summit. The Yaluzhangbu Grand Canyon, covered with ice and snow, embraces the mountains and peaks in the Najiaba Peak area. It constitutes a passage for the moisture from the Indian Ocean to the inner mountainous region which helps make the southeast of the Qinghai - Tibet Plateau a piece of green oasis.
The Grand Canyon has a total length of 496 km, ranking the first in the world. The average much depth of the canyon is about 5, 000 meters and the deepest point down to 5, 382 meters, which is deeper than that of Kelka Canyon of Peru and Colorado Canyon of the US. The canyon area encompasses the Pailong Village of the Nyingchi County, the Pai Village of the Milin County and the County of Motuo.
The marvelous tourist attractions include the Grand Canyon, the Great Yaluzhangbu Turning, the Peak of the Nanjiabawa, the Peak of the Jialabailei, the tropical forest and the folk customs of the Menba and Luoba People.
The canyon boasts the most abundant and complex mountainous ecological type in the world. From the bottom at some hundred meters above the sea level to the top of the Nanjiabawa Peak (7, 787 meters), there spread the distinct ecological systems ranging from tropical to systems only seen in Polar Regions.

# Route 1 Pai District Milin County- Duoxiangla – Nage – Hanmi – Maniweng - Beibeng It is a traditional route from the northern steep of Himalaya to the lower reaches of the Grand Canyon that normally takes the hikers three days. Taking this route, the hikers will climb the 4,200 meter high Duoxiongla Mountain, passing Nage and afterwards down to Hanmi and Maniweng. The “Tiger Mouth” after Hanmi is an extremely dangerous place where each year lots of transportation accidents occur. One can go across from Manaweng to the District of Beibeng (the latitude goes down to only 700 meters) through an iron chain bridge. # Route 2 Pai District Milin – Daduka – Gega – Jiala After Jiala there is no road any more in the depopulated zone and one can only advance along the river for another week until reaching “White Horse and Bear.” On both sides of the river there go upright sharp cliffs and bluffs.How to Get to there?
