Gang Spruce Forest
岗云杉林
A pristine spruce forest in Bomi, often called one of the most beautiful forests in China. Forest trails, alpine meadows, snowy peaks and streams make a fairy-tale scene.
The Gang Spruce Forest is in Gang Township of Bomi County. It is mainly Nyingchi spruce, usually 50 to 60 metres tall and up to 80 metres at the tallest. Some trees are hundreds of years old. China National Geography named it one of the “Top Ten Most Beautiful Forests in China.” Wooden boardwalks wind through the forest, with views of alpine meadows, streams and distant snowy peaks. Admission is about 80 yuan, with half-price tickets available for guests staying at Bomi hotels. It is about 20 km from Bomi county seat. Allow about 2 hours for the visit. The forest is damp, so wear non-slip shoes.
