Laigu Glacier

4.1/5
427 reviews

Many glaciers surrounding Laigu Village have formed many ice lakes in front of the village. Due to the different geology and soil composition of different glaciers, each ice lake will reflect different colors. There is a large ice lake floating on the ice lake. Big and small icebergs. Between the end of the glacier and the glacial lake, the broken glacier reveals a layer of blue ice tens of meters high. In Laigu Village, you can see Meixi Glacier, Yalong Glacier, Ruojiao Glacier, Dongga Glacier, Xiongjia Glacier and Niuma Glacier. Because all these glaciers surround Laigu Village, they are collectively called Laigu Glaciers ( Note: Due to the changing seasons of glaciers, the viewing period of each glacier is different, and the scenery seen at different times is different.) Among them, the Yalong Glacier, which is 12 kilometers long at the eastern end of Gangrigabu Mountain, is more majestic. It is more than 6,000 meters above sea level. The main peak extends to the edge of Laigu Village at an altitude of about 4,000 meters. The simple village road along the Ranwu Lake, even if you have reached the ancient village, the Laigu Village with more than 70 households still maintains the original Tibetan village style of half farming and half pastoralism. The houses in the village are relatively scattered, subdivided into several smaller villages and settlements such as Shatuna, Lanage, Qu'e, and Ranmu. The distance between the villages is two to three kilometers, and there are fields between the small villages. ridge.

Tibet! I would like to do it thousands of times! To see the most beautiful scenery of Ranwu Lake, you must go there in early spring in Tibet, around mid-to-late April, when the frozen lake surface has just melted, the azure blue water is exposed above the ice, and the snow-capped mountains are reflected in the water. After seeing it, you can't help but sigh: It's so beautiful!

Laigu Glacier, one of the world's three largest glaciers, is located in Ranwu Town, Basu County, Qamdo Prefecture, Tibet. It offers a glimpse into a dreamlike wonderland of 10,000-year-old blue ice. The crystal-clear ice, snow-capped mountains, and glacial lakes create a breathtaking spectacle, akin to stepping back into the Ice Age and experiencing the power of nature. The best viewing period is from December to February, when the ice is solid and at its largest. At an altitude of approximately 4,200 meters, be prepared for cold and altitude sickness, and crampons are recommended for safe trekking.

The 72 bends of the Nujiang River are a "road miracle" deep within the Hengduan Mountains. In just 12 kilometers, the altitude plummets 1,500 meters, and the 72 bends wind through the mountains like a silver chain, each one a breathtaking spectacle. Driving along this route, you'll sometimes plummet to the valley floor, watching the Nujiang River surge like emerald jade; sometimes, you'll circle the mountaintops, gazing at a sea of ​​clouds over snow-capped peaks. On clear days, sunlight slices through the mist, casting a shimmering shadow over the bends. On rainy days, clouds and mist stream past the car windows, and the wheels roll over not only the road but also the vastness of the world. This is a testing ground for the brave and a collector of beautiful scenery. Every turn is a soulful encounter with snow-capped mountains, canyons, and rivers, making every second of the drive a breathtaking experience etched into the memory.

When the road sign of National Highway 318 points to 3685 kilometers, you are standing in the folds of the world, just like stepping into the gate of heaven and earth. The mountains are angry, the river waves are like songs, and the eagles are soaring here. This is the 72-turn Grand Canyon of Nujiang River, the third pole of the earth, and the epic of Tibet for travelers. Some people say that the ultimate romance of Tibet is the silent dialogue between heaven and earth and soul, and the eternal poem of the collision between wilderness and faith. Today, on this legendary National Highway 318, I will choose to talk with heaven and earth and dance with Nujiang River in the most passionate way. Cross the 72-turn of Nujiang River and touch the body temperature of the road builders 70 years ago. The steel drills and blood and sweat that drilled through the cliffs have now turned into miracles extending from the cliffs under your feet. When the high-altitude glass viewing platform holds up your first step, the wind at an altitude of 2,700 meters will tell you: true freedom is to dare to overlook the whole world while hanging in the sky. When the zip line flies over the Nujiang River, the canyon becomes a fully drawn bow and arrow, and you are the arrow that moves forward firmly, rushing straight to the bull's eye of courage. The cliff sightseeing elevator takes you to experience a different experience with a vertical drop of 50 meters. Perhaps you will choose to take a brave step and feel the vibration of your heartbeat and the river waves on the bridge. Maybe you can change into a Tibetan costume and walk on the first glass suspension bridge across the Nujiang River in Tibet to appreciate the collision and fusion of ancient culture and modern technology. Climb or go down the cliff ladder, and look back while taking a breath. The ladder is like a giant dragon perched on the vertical mountain wall, and the glass viewing platform has become amber on the cliff. The 318 must-drive in this life has become the cultural symbol of the 318 National Highway. In the Nujiang 72-turn Grand Canyon, you can also find many of its elements and keep your life photos. The immersive experience is enough for the Nujiang River to carve courage into your bones and blood. Those signs of "Tibet First" will eventually fade, but the mountain will remember your courageous progress. This is not a conquest, but a real journey that takes care of both body and mind. Tibet is not far away, it is just right to be here.

The Dora Mountain is located in Basu County, Qamdo City, Tibet. The hiking route is divided into the outer circle, the middle circle, and the inner circle. It takes about 4 hours to walk around the middle circle. Along the way, you can see the sky burial platform and various stone carvings. Climbing to the main peak, you can have a bird's eye view of the entire Dora Mountain. On the way, there are various Buddha statues, pagodas, six-syllable mantras, and Tibetan prayers, mainly Guru Padmasambhava.

1. The Nujiang Bridge and Tiger Mouth section are often subject to traffic control, especially during the rainy season. The hotel owner said that as long as it rains, landslides are very likely to occur due to geological reasons, which is very dangerous. It is usually closed at 8 pm and will be opened the next day depending on the situation. When it is sunny, even steel cannot pry the cliff. 2. I originally liked such rocks, the exposed rocks are crumbling, revealing a sense of desolation. But... the traffic control was blocked for several hours. I saw a car being hit by falling rocks on the way and realized that this is the other side of 318, or the more real side. The Nujiang Bridge is almost a bridge built in the gap of the Nujiang Gorge. It is a miracle in the history of Chinese roads and is called the throat of the Sichuan-Tibet Highway. On one side, the river water hits the shore and sighs at the magic of nature, and on the other side, the cliffs cut by knives and axes make people miss the era of "letting the mountains bow their heads and let the rivers give way". The strong wind in the canyon cannot take away the great achievements of the ancestors, the surging river water cannot flow away the great achievements of the ancestors, and the dust of the years cannot forget the tragic stories of the ancestors. This old bridge, which solidified the blood and lives of our ancestors, has been replaced by a new bridge, but that spirit, like Highway 318, will always exist on the vast plateau. Along the way, what impressed me most was not only how shocking the scenery was, but also how difficult it was to build this highway. ​
