Dalin Village of Nyingchi City, southwest China’s Tibet Autonomous Region, is located at the entrance of Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon, closely next to the Namjagbarwa with flat terrain, wide vision and beautiful scenery. It is a tourist attraction famous for its unique natural scenery with Snow Mountains, canyons and forests.

A person from the village said, “The village is a part of Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon, and the protected objects are various vegetation types from semi-humid zone to semiarid area.”

In recent years with the joint efforts of local government and people, the project of rural house reconstruction and ecological construction has been implemented, solar street lights have been installed, and spacious new houses have been built, which improved villagers’ living condition.

Relying on natural resources, ecological and human environment, local ecological tourism has been developed. Besides, with great support of the Mainling County People’s Government, the carders and villagers actively participate in tourism projects to achieve poverty alleviation.
