Tips: The area of Nujiang Prefecture is narrow and long, with Nujiang River roaring through and Biluo Snow Mountain and Gaoligong Mountain standing on the banks. The main scenery spots dot on both sides of the river, including the minority villages and the folk customs at the riverbank. Tourism has not been developed in Nujiang. Tourists had better rent a vehicle to go there. The price for a 6-seat minibus is 350-400 yuan per day, and tourists should pay for the driver’s food and accommodation. So it costs about 2,000 yuan for a round trip. Bargaining is necessary. And tourists should choose the minibuses that are in good condition because the road condition in Nujiang is not so good.
