The Yarlung Zangbo River has a big turn at the juncture of four counties of Nyingchi, Mainlling, Medog and Bome. To the east of the turn stands the 7,782-meter-high Namagbarwa Peak, the 15th highest peak in the world. In face of the Indian Ocean, it reflects an obvious vertical landform. In its valley is tropical rain forest and above the snow line, it is a snow world.
