【Stunning Tibet - Midui Glacier】

🎥 The southwest monsoon blowing from the Indian Ocean can go north along the Yarlung Zangbo River and Parlung Zangbo River valleys, deep into this series of mountains, bringing a large amount of precipitation. Thus, around a snow peak of 6385 meters above sea level behind a Tibetan village called Midui, a magnificent spirit was born - the 【Midui Glacier】. 🌊 Midui Glacier is located within the jurisdiction of Yupu Township, Bomi County, 103 kilometers from the county seat, 8 kilometers from National Highway 318, and the nearest village is only 2 kilometers away. It is one of the most important maritime glaciers in Tibet. Midui Glacier, known as the "blue gem" of Tibet, is a pearl on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. Midui Glacier is one of the most beautiful glaciers in China selected by China National Geographic. 🗻 Midui Glacier is also famous for its huge scale. It is 15 kilometers long and is one of the largest valley glaciers in the world. The main peak of the glacier is 6800 meters above sea level, the snow line is only 4600 meters above sea level, and the eastern part of Midui Glacier is formed by a world-class ice waterfall, each waterfall is more than 800 meters high and more than 1000 meters wide, and there is a primitive forest between the two waterfalls. 🎀 Due to the influence of the glacier, this area has abundant precipitation and a humid climate, forming a dense forest, which is a natural "biological museum". The lower end of the glacier is a needle-broadleaf mixed forest land, with snow all year round, lush forests all year round, wrapped in a silver scarf, and wearing a green skirt. Here, glaciers, lakes, farmland, villages, forests, etc. blend together, which is a model of harmonious coexistence between man and nature. 🏞 "Midui Village" is the most beautiful village under the glacier. The village raises a large number of horses. Some of these horses are used for tourist sightseeing riding, and the other part is leisurely eating grass between the villages, blending with this quaint village. Winding into the stream, the scenery in the ditch is extraordinarily beautiful, and the snow-capped mountains, glaciers, countryside, and villages are wonderfully combined, just like a paradise. 🌇 Midui Glacier is really beautiful. Under the sun, it is like a white dragon winding between the valleys, with a majestic momentum. The red mountain in front and the silver snow mountain behind are reflected in each other, and the visual impact under the blue sky and white clouds is very strong. 🌠 Through the telephoto lens, we can see those huge ice bodies on the mountain being eroded by wind and snow, or falling freely. The glacier is cut into ravines and broken, full of scars, which is spectacular. 🎪 Midui Glacier has now become one of the important tourist attractions on the National Highway 318 Sichuan-Tibet line. If you drive into Tibet by yourself, don't miss this once-in-a-lifetime check-in point when you pass by here. Remember to bring a telephoto lens, it will surprise you...
