The Nyingchi region is one of the famous areas in China for producing the best ganoderma, a rare kind of herb with marvelous effects on cancer, neurasthenic, hypertension and coronary heart disease, etc. In the most productive counties such as Nyingchi, Miling, Dzayul and Pome, the ganoderma that is sold has a wide range of qualities.
