Tibet|Ranwu Lake in winter, the ice lake is naturally beautiful to the point of suffocation_ Next

🚗 Ranwu Lake, known in Tibetan as Ranwu Tso (Tso is the Tibetan pronunciation for lake), is located in the southwestern corner of Basu County, Changdu City, about 90 kilometers from the county town of Baima to Ranwu Township. It was formed by a landslide or debris flow blocking the river, creating a barrier lake. There are many such barrier lakes formed in the geologically active southeastern Tibet, and Ranwu Lake is well known to many travelers on the Sichuan-Tibet line because it is close to the Sichuan-Tibet Highway. 🚗 I've passed Ranwu Lake at least three times on Route 318 before, but because it was always summer, I remember the lake water being rather turbid. Perhaps because there is more water in the summer and more precipitation. I didn't have much hope for this winter visit, but when I got to the lake today, I was truly shocked by the scenery! It's really, really beautiful! On the one hand, the color of the lake is very beautiful, and on the other hand, some of the lake surface has already frozen over, giving the impression of an Ice Age. 🚗 If you go further, you can see that the lake surface has completely frozen over. The weather has been very good these past few days, and the surrounding snow-capped mountains make it a very worthwhile sightseeing spot.
