Tibet | Sharing photos of the whole journey on foot in the Laigu Glacier Scenic Area 5 - Super blue ice on the right side of the return journey

🚗 Laigu Glacier is a group of glaciers, located in Ranwu Town, Basu County, Changdu, Tibet, adjacent to Ranwu Lake, which is the source of the Parlung Zangbo. The melted snow flows into Ranwu Lake, and the lakeside is a dense primitive forest, and there are many primitive Tibetan villages, including Meixi, Yalong, Ruojiao, 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. The precipitation is sufficient, which is conducive to the development of glaciers and belongs to maritime glaciers. 🚗 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, it doesn't feel difficult, and it's not like what the Internet says about horse riding. I walked from the shuttle bus terminal to the innermost ice wall and back in 1.5 hours 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 if your body can't stand it, don't force it. 2. Be sure to pay attention to safety when you go down. It is best to rent an ice claw 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 all the way inside along the right side. No one stopped me thinking it was open. Some of the lake water near the ice wall really did not freeze. When I walked about 20m away from the wall, someone shouted at me that it was dangerous and I had to return quickly. 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 casually. I have been to Alaska and Iceland, and there are tour guides to walk the designated route all the way. Don't go to places without footprints on the glacier, pay attention to safety.
