The resort is served by Nyingchi Airport, which is just seven kilometres away, and provides easy access to attractions including Namjagbrawa Mountain and the Medog Grand Canyon Adventure Tourism Area.

“Hilton Linzhi Resort is a world-class destination resort that caters to the increasing demand in Tibet’s leisure and MICE segments,” said Bruce McKenzie, senior vice president, operations, Greater China & Mongolia, Hilton.
