Bayi District

In 1951, modern administrative structures formally integrated the area, initially establishing it as Nyingchi County. In 2015, it was upgraded to a district, adopting the name "Bayi", derived from the district’s main urban area, Bayi Town. This town, developed post-1950s, became a key logistical and transportation node due to its strategic position on the Sichuan-Tibet Highway.{{cite web | title=这些惊艳的高原交通，值得你体验！-新华网 | website=Xinhua News Agency | date=2021-10-14 | url=http://www.news.cn/2021-10/14/c_1127958545.htm | language=zh | access-date=2025-02-18}}{{cite web | title="世界屋脊"：川藏公路托起一批现代化城镇_滚动新闻_中国政府网 | website=中国政府网_中央人民政府门户网站 | date=2023-05-26 | url=https://www.gov.cn/xinwen/2021-08/03/content_5629285.htm | language=zh | access-date=2025-02-18}}

"The Benri La Mountain near the Dagzê Village on the western slope of the mountain is a sacred site of the Tibetan Bön Sect and one of the four great holy mountains in Tibet." It is located in the southeast of Pulha, north of the Yarlung Tsangpo River. Pilgrimages attract devotees throughout the year. "Every tenth day of the eighth month of the Tibetan calendar, a grand mountain worshiping activity is held, which is called "Nangbolhasoi," meaning "seeking for treasures from immortals." "Each year during the Saga Dawa Festival the pilgrims will come to worship and circle around the holy mountain." Seven Bon temples were built around the mountain.{{Cite web
