Laigu Glaciers

🚗 Laigu Glacier is a group of glaciers located in Ranwu Town, Basu County, Changdu, Tibet, adjacent to Ranwu Lake, which is the source of Parlung Zangbo. The melted snow flows into Ranwu Lake, and there are dense primitive forests and many primitive Tibetan villages by the lake, including Meixi, Yalong, Ruoqiao, Dongga, Xiongjia and Niuma glaciers. Among these glaciers, Yalong Glacier is the most spectacular. The "Yalong Glacier" is 12 kilometers long, extending from the main peak of Gangri Gabu Mountain at an altitude of 6606 meters to Gangri Gabu Lake at an altitude of 4,000 meters. In terms of climate, it is located in the main channel for the Indian Ocean monsoon to transport cold air to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, with sufficient precipitation, which is conducive to the development of glaciers and is a maritime glacier. 🚗 I came with a group this time, so I only walked the regular tourist route. Laigu Glacier is a group of glaciers, and I should have gone to one of them. Overall, I didn't feel it was difficult, and it's not like what the internet says about needing to ride a horse. I walked from the shuttle bus terminal to the innermost ice wall and back in an hour and a half with photos. The scenery is very good when the weather is good. 🚗 Some precautions 1. Be sure to pay attention to altitude sickness, you know your own body, there is no need to ride a horse but don't force it if your body can't handle it. 2. Be sure to pay attention to safety when going down, it is best to rent ice claws at the mouth of the glacier, after all, you are responsible for your own safety. 25y. 3. Currently, the big ice wall is not open. I went in today and walked straight in along the right side, no one stopped me so I thought it was open. There is some lake water near the ice wall that is not frozen. When I was about 20m away from the wall, someone shouted at me that it was dangerous and I couldn't go, so I hurried back. 4. If you live in Songzan or go to another glacier inside, you can drive in by yourself, you can ask in advance. 5. I don't know if all the glaciers in China are like this, there is no leader to play with. I have been to Alaska and Iceland and there are guides to walk the designated route all the way. Don't go to places without footprints on the glacier, pay attention to safety.

|||. The first sight of the blue glacier was really shocking!! The unadorned blue is really cool, and from the expressway into the scenic area, you can see a long blue ice wall from a distance, which is very explosive!! Laigu Glacier is a maritime glacier, so it only exists in winter. I came here a few years ago in summer, and it was just a puddle of muddy water. So if you want to see the glacier, you must come from December to March of the following year, and you will see it more completely. The weather is also very important. It's not so good to look at when it's snowing and cloudy. Under the reflection of the sunny day, the glacier will be bluer!! The original picture is directly out without any filters✌ Next is the precautions‼️We only went to the Blue Ice Lake, and heard from the hotel guide that this is the best one, and we didn't go to the other smaller and farther ones. 1️⃣ If you only look at the glacier, you need to buy a ticket to enter the scenic area and take the scenic area electric car. If you stay in the Songzan Hotel in the scenic area, you don't need to buy an extra ticket. The hotel is only a 5-minute walk from the glacier drop-off point. The glacier is deep inside and needs to be entered on foot or by horse. There is an extra charge for going to the other glaciers. 2️⃣Remember to buy ice claws in advance, the ice surface is really slippery, and it is easy to fall. 3️⃣Wear more clothes, wear hats and sunglasses, otherwise it will be very dazzling. 4️⃣If you are afraid of cold feet, remember to stick warm foot stickers, I am the one whose feet are frozen and numb😅

🌈Changdu's Tri-Color Lake journey, unlock your highland paradise🏞️ 🌄 The first rays of morning sunlight penetrate the curtains, casting a warm glow on my face, awakening my anticipation for the trip to Changdu's Tri-Color Lake.

The afterglow of the setting sun sprinkles over the lake, the golden light reflecting off the green water, creating a breathtakingly beautiful scene. I sit quietly by the lake, admiring this picturesque view, as if I'm in a fairyland. 🍲 In the evening, I tasted the local Tibetan cuisine. The delicious beef and mutton, rich butter tea, and uniquely flavored barley wine, each dish was filled with the flavor of the highlands. Amidst laughter, I shared this unforgettable dinner with the local Tibetans. 🌌 As night falls, the starry sky over Tri-Color Lake is like dazzling diamonds scattered across the night sky. I lie on the grass, gazing up at the stars, feeling the tranquility and mystery of nature. In this moment, I feel as if I am one with the universe, sensing the infinite possibilities of life. 🎒 This trip to Changdu's Tri-Color Lake has deeply impressed upon me the grandeur and mystery of the highlands.
