Niyang Pavilion
尼洋阁
A cultural museum for the Gongbo Tibetan people in Bajie Village, east of Bayi Town, housed in Tibetan-style buildings with displays of Gongbo costumes, religious objects and folk customs. Ideal for learning about the local culture on arrival in Nyingchi.
Niyang Pavilion is located in Bajie Village of Bayi District, Nyingchi, next to the Nyingchi Martyrs' Cemetery. It is a national 3A scenic area, with a complex of Tibetan-style buildings showcasing the traditional costumes, religious objects, tools for production and daily life, and folk customs of the Gongbo Tibetans and the Monpa and Lhoba peoples. Visitors can learn about Nyingchi's distinctive Gongbo culture, including Gongbo clothing (gushu), the whistling arrow and the Gongbo New Year. The buildings themselves are also very photogenic. The scenic area falls under Nyingchi's A-level scenic area free-admission policy (subject to the year's announcement), and a visit takes about 1 hour. A taxi from Bayi Town takes about 10 minutes. It can be combined with World Cypress Park (King Cypress) in the same half-day, and serves as an indoor option on rainy days.
