Introduce Medog.
Medog, a border town in Linzhi, Tibet, is called "plateau island" by local people. Its most widely known title for mainlanders is: Chinese mainland, the only county without roads among more than 265,438+000 administrative counties.

The whole Medog County is separated from the west, north and east by the Himalayas and Gangrigabu Mountain, and the south is the boundary line. It is impossible to cross the Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon and the Forced Dragon Zangbo Canyon. To enter Medog, you must cross a mountain pass of more than 4000 meters. Only in the snow melting season from May to165438+1October can Medog communicate with the outside world.

Difficult roads and bad weather make Medog almost the most difficult place to reach in China.

There are many anecdotes about this world-famous figure:

A soldier's family wanted to go to Medog to visit her husband stationed there, but he tried 9 times without success. A boss in Shunde, Guangdong Province, on the way to Medog on foot, suddenly collapsed beside the rock and cried, lamenting that he was rich, but at that moment he was nothing; An official working in the transportation department of a province claimed to have been to various places. When he arrived in Medog, he was caught in heavy rain and mudslides. After finally getting out of danger, he was worried: "Medog is a hellhole."

Medog is also known as Baimagang. In Tibetan Buddhism, it is called "Baimagang, the pure land of Buddhism and the most unique among the holy places". The more famous rattan bridges in Medog include the back collapse rattan bridge and Jiong Xing rattan bridge, both of which are about 400 meters long. Among them, Medog Dexing rattan bridge spans the Yarlung Zangbo River and has a history of more than 300 years. The whole rattan bridge is tubular suspension, mostly located in the dangerous reach of the canyon. When walking on it, the bridge is blown by human gravity and river wind, and the swing amplitude is very large, but the whole bridge is approximately sealed and quite safe. Medog's famous landscape is "Liusuo", which is a bit like crossing a river with reeds, but it takes a lot of courage and balance skills to slide to the other side with his back to the river at high speed. ?

In the eyes of Tibetans, Medog is a "lotus land" for religious believers, also known as "Baimagang". In a sense, Medog exists as a symbol. It is the last county in China that has no access to roads. It is located in the depths of the Yarlung Zangbo River Grand Canyon, which is the first in the world. Some people say, don't talk in front of people who have been to Medog, which means that there is no more difficult way in the world than to go to Medog. But the beauty of Medog's swimming also comes in danger.
