Medog: a hidden gem for winter birdwatching in southeastern Xizang

Source:xzxw.com 2026-11-13

While most of Xizang is in deep winter, Medog stays around 20°C during the day, with warm sunshine and gentle breezes—it is known as a "little spring city" in southeastern Xizang. Little rain, high visibility, and the rare sight of snow-capped mountains and rainforests coexisting in one frame make winter a golden season for birdwatching and photography here.
