Zhangmu area is located in border of china and Nepal; it means middle part of Himalaya Mountain. So it is convenience for Nepal people who want to have Tibet travel from Nepal. It is a unique land route trading port of the country class in Tibet. There are more than one thousands Sherpa, they mainly reside together in there. Its elevation is 2.3 kilometers; also it is a small village which is built beside mountains. Surrounding natural environment is beautiful, modern buildings and some historical wooden houses get together with mountain and road.

Climate of Zhangmu is warm and nice, so there is a lot of fresh flowers bloom all the year around. In addition to that its special geography location, it is potential to develop tour. After China-Nepal road has transport service, China and Nepal’s economy communication has become more and more frequently, trade caravan and stock of goods get escalation.

In fact, spur line of Qinghai-Tibet railway will be built from Lhasa to there as soon. Zhangmu port area belongs to subtropical zone. Building and its material quality is special. Because that Zhangmu country is built along slope, so there are a lot of turns in street. House arrangement is arranged by people pleases relatively, but all because of that, they looks like uniquely characteristically—high and low, street and stone. Majority of roofs own small garden and iron sheet roof. Various kinds of flags and luck trees are put on roof fully. It makes up all country colorful and special. Under around green mountain, white cloud and pure water’s embrace, they can very attract your attention. As a pretty busy trading port, county are always crowded with people and vehicles.

    樟木这一带属于亚热带,气候潮湿,风景宜人。其建筑以二、三层的小楼房为主,材质有石料,木板以及砖混等。由于樟木镇是依坡而建,街道拐弯很多,整个镇的房屋布置比较随意,高低错落明显,层层紧挨,全由街道和石阶相沟通。大多数屋顶都有小花园和铁皮屋顶,各种风马旗,运气树等布满屋顶,将整个城镇打扮得花花绿绿的,在周围青山绿水和白云的环抱中,显得非常醒目。作为一个非常繁忙的通商口岸,镇里车水马龙,常常水泄不通。公路两旁,商店密密麻麻约有几百家,经营着各种各样的物品,能看到不少印度、尼泊尔等地的泊来品。街上常能见到五颇六色的尼泊尔TATA货车,除藏族和汉族外还有很多印度人和尼泊尔人,各种肤色的游客、商人来来往往。

Zhangmu port tour tips

In door of customs, there are a lot of people want to exchange money. So if you want to exchange Nepalese rupee, as far as I am concerned, you should get to china bank of Zhangmu to make exchange. Except general mail service, post officer also has a long-distance call service, so there are many telephone booth; however, it is usually can not be answered.
      Lodging: Zhangmu hotel is the only hotel in county. Its price is a little expensive, one hundred Yuan for a standard room. For tourists, you would better get to Nyalam Town, on the one hand, its price is cheap; on the other hands, most drivers always have a rest in there, it is convenient to find a car.

Food: except restaurant of Zhangmu hotel, there is no another dining hall in county. You should better take food by your own.
     Special attention: no matter the foreign tourists and domestic tourists, you should take border crossing card before you get to Zhangmu County. Domestic tourists can transact border crossing card in local public security department; also you can transact it after you have arrived in Tibet, but believe in me, it is relatively complex.
    Last but not the least, I think it must be a special journey for you if you have enough exploration soul to get to Zhangmu port. It is not only a transportation port of Tibet and even china, but also a natural and original museum in Tibet. In my perspective opinion, I believe Zhangmu port is an essential part in your China and Tibet travel.
