2024 Tibet North Ring Line: See blue ice and explore ice caves

Shangri-La Glacier is located in the eastern section of the Nyenchen Tanglha Mountains, with an altitude of 4240 meters, a length of 9 kilometers, and a width of 1 kilometer. It takes 1.5 hours from Bianba County to the glacier. After getting off the car, walk along the frozen lake to several blue ice walls at the end of the ice tongue, there are multiple blue ice surfaces! The lake surface is wet and slippery, it's best to wear ice claws! After viewing the glacier and ice lake, return to the teahouse in Puyi Village One, wait for the motorcycles to go to Gongga Ice Cave, quickly drive through the fields, cross the iron bridge, pass through a bush along the edge of the pasture, enter the dried-up stone beach, arrive at the parking spot in 20 minutes, walk through tens of meters of stone road, reach the small entrance of the ice cave (or climb over two gentle slopes to reach the big entrance of the ice cave), walk about ten meters to see the blue entrance, beautiful! Gongga Ice Cave is at the other end of Shangri-La Glacier, about 165 meters long and about 15 meters high. The round-trip cost of the motorcycle is 200 yuan, to be paid after return. If you walk there, it's more than 3 kilometers one way, basically a flat stone road, not difficult to walk.
