District Motu, China
From series “The Most Inaccessible Spots of the Planet”
One of the most difficult to reach places in China is the Motuo County, located in the Tibetan mountains. To get to this picturesque and interesting place you have to go a difficult way to the narrow iced mountain road. And on the last stretch you have to pass a swinging 200-meter-long Hängebrücke. This area has been sacred to the Buddhists for many years. Motuo circle is really rich in the wonderfully beautiful landscapes.
The road only exists for a couple of days and was then destroyed by the element. A few years later, the lush forest once again grew, where once the road existed. The tourists, who dare to see the long and difficult way and see these incredible places, must overcome the numerous obstacles. They must cross nine rivers, several snowy peaks and forests with poisonous insects. The reward for this is the incredibly beautiful mountain landscapes. The period from June to October is considered to be the best time to travel to this region. Next - Wulingyuan Mountains
