The cold winds of winter gradually subside, and the warm spring breeze blows over the mountain tops, causing the green leaves of the branches to spit out tender shoots. The winter snow has melted, the earth has awakened, and everything has come back to life. It is a good time to travel, and I believe that the peach blossom season in Bomi will attract countless tourists to come and enjoy it. Spring in Bomi is full of peach blossoms, cherry blossoms and rape blossoms, as well as food and entertainment.
When you set out on your way home, don't forget to bring souvenirs to make good memories. Whether it's local handicrafts or local delicacies, it's a great gift to take home. Let's sort out the spring in Bomi together, and look forward to the upcoming peach blossom season to bring you more surprises and beauty.
On this fertile soil, which is favored by nature, the Bomi land presents a unique charm of spring. In addition to the peach blossoms, there are rape flowers and alpine rhododendrons blooming one after another in Bomi's spring. At this time, Bomi is a colorful flower world.
Rape flowers
Flowering period: early March to mid-April
Every spring, the rape flowers of Yigong are always the first to bloom. When you go to Yigong, you will see a field of golden rape flowers blooming at the foot of the Iron Mountain and on the shore of Yigong Lake, which is intoxicating. In the spring, Yigong is not only picturesque, but also contains rich cultural heritage.
Peach blossoms
Flowering period: mid-March to mid-April
Peach blossoms, the most colorful flowers in Bomi spring, shine with brilliant colors and dance like fairies. They are either immersed in green fields, located at the foot of snow-capped mountains, or thriving in Tibetan courtyards. The beauty of peach blossoms, whether viewed up close or from afar, is intoxicating. In their world, there seems to be a fairy scene of the peach forest of three lives, three worlds, and ten miles, which is so charming and intoxicating.
Alpine rhododendron
Flowering period: early April to mid-May
Every year in April and May, the alpine rhododendron in Bagai Township, Bomi County, blooms between the canyon and the forest as promised, like a dressage ball of nature, which makes people intoxicated. If you miss the moment when the Bomi peach blossoms are in full bloom, don't regret it, you might as well drive to Bagai Township to enjoy these delicate flowers and let the soul be nourished with pleasure.

Located in the eastern part of the northern foothills of the Himalayas, Bomi County has a long history and cultural heritage, which makes the region rich and diverse. Due to the accumulation of history and culture, there are a large number of outstanding intangible cultural heritage items at the autonomous regional, municipal, and county levels. In recent years, the intangible cultural heritage of Bomi has been disseminated through the Tibetan Evening Stage, **Satellite TV and Kangba Satellite TV, etc., so that more people can understand the unique folk customs and intangible cultural heritage projects in Bomi area, like a picture of cultural diversity, so that ** will not forget to return.
Among these intangible cultural heritage items, I would like to recommend two intangible cultural heritage items, which are also popular intangible cultural heritage items in the Bomi area.
Yigong Tibetan knife making
With a history of more than 400 years, the Yigong Tibetan knife is made from three types of iron mined locally ("Yigongniu Nippon Steel", "Pagensen Cloth Iron" and "Gongbu Zamatsu Iron"). Due to the unique craftsmanship and materials used to make the Yigong Tibetan knife, it cannot be replicated elsewhere. In the past years, owning an Yigong Tibetan knife was seen as a status of symbolic wealth.
Eight cover wooden locks
To experience the craftsmanship of the Hachigai wooden lock, you must go to the village of Rika. Most of the village's inhabitants live in wooden huts, and in order to prevent fires, they usually store their grain in warehouses on the mountain. As a result, the wooden lock became an interesting local invention to ensure the security of the warehouse. The craftsmanship of making this lock was listed as an intangible cultural heritage as early as 2008.
During the journey to Bomi, tourists can not only experience the above two intangible cultural heritage items, but also have the opportunity to encounter more interesting intangible cultural heritage such as Bomi Bozhuo, Bomi Boyang, "Bai" rap, bamboo weaving skills, Dada Dama Festival, Yigong brick tea making, and Gonggong production skills. During the trip, if you encounter these intangible cultural heritage items, you must not miss them and experience the unique cultural charm of Bomi.
