Guoguotang Great Bend
果果塘大拐弯
A viewpoint near Medog County Town overlooking the horseshoe-shaped Great Bend that the Yarlung Tsangpo River forms around a mountain, the most representative landscape of Medog.
The Guoguotang Great Bend lies on the mountainside west of Medog County Town, where the Yarlung Tsangpo River wraps around a mountain and forms a nearly closed horseshoe-shaped U-bend, known together with the Great Bend near Namche Barwa. The viewing platform is designed in the shape of a lotus and overlooks the river and forest-covered mountains. It is about 10 to 20 kilometers of mountain road from the county town, a drive of about 30 minutes, and a visit takes about 40 minutes. You must first reach Medog, and it is generally combined with a visit to the county town on the same day. Clouds and fog are heavy in the rainy season, and the view may be obscured.
