The desolate mountains were void of human presence, with vegetation covering as far as the eye could see.
As the altitude climbed, it became increasingly difficult for vegetation to grow into towering trees, but here the situation was a bit more complex.
Bomi is known as the Jiangnan of Tibet, where the altitude is relatively lower compared to other highland areas.
On the other hand, a more significant reason is the warm and humid airflow from the Indian Ocean that penetrates deep along the Yarlung Zangbo River Gorge, bringing abundant rainfall. Meanwhile, the region's melting glacier water is plentiful, forming a unique high-altitude humid climate.
Therefore, the vegetation here is extremely dense, and when the vegetation becomes dense, various kinds of rare and precious plants also thrive among them.
