Yigong National Geopark Museum
易贡国家地质公园陈列馆
A geopark exhibition hall beside Tongmai Bridge that explains the Yigong landslide, glaciers and the formation of the Parlung Tsangpo gorge. It is a good stop to learn the background on your way.
The Yigong National Geopark Museum, near Tongmai Bridge, showcases the glaciers, debris flows, landslides and canyon landforms of the Yigong National Geopark. It focuses on the massive 2000 Zhamunong Gully landslide at Yigong and the outburst of the landslide-dammed lake that followed. It also contains historical materials on the construction of the Sichuan–Tibet Highway and the Tongmai Gorge. The museum is small, and a visit takes about 30–60 minutes, making it a good way to learn the background before going to Yigong Lake. Opening hours and admission should be confirmed on site, and in winter it may close without notice.
