林芝

Linzhi straddles deep river gorges, forest valleys, glacial lakes, sacred snow peaks, and Tibetan, Monba, Lhoba and other communities. It is a vast area in southeastern Tibet. The climate in the low valleys may be milder than in central Tibet, but the route will still pass through high mountain passes and remote areas. It should be planned geographically, respecting community and religious boundaries, and treating all snowy mountain views as weather-affected rather than guaranteed visibility.

阿勒泰

Altay is a vast northern region of Xinjiang, including the Altai Mountains, the Irtysh River system, the Taiga Forest, grasslands, villages and ice and snow culture. Kanas, Hemu and Keketuohai are long-distance destinations separated from each other and are not suburbs of Altay. Corridor planning should be used, official connections should be used, and pastoral and forest communities should be respected.
