Tibet | Sharing of full trekking photos in the Laigu Glacier Scenic Area 2 - Inside the scenic area

🚗 Laigu Glacier is a group of glaciers located in Ranwu Town, Basu County, Changdu, Tibet, adjacent to Ranwu Lake, which is the source of Parlung Zangbo. The melted snow flows into Ranwu Lake, and there are dense primitive forests and many primitive Tibetan villages by the lake, including Meixi, Yalong, Ruoqiao, 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, with sufficient precipitation, which is conducive to the development of glaciers and is a maritime glacier. 🚗 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, I didn't feel it was difficult, and it's not like what the internet says about needing to ride a horse. I walked from the shuttle bus terminal to the innermost ice wall and back in an hour and a half 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 don't force it if your body can't handle it. 2. Be sure to pay attention to safety when going down, it is best to rent ice claws 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 straight in along the right side, no one stopped me so I thought it was open. There is some lake water near the ice wall that is not frozen. When I was about 20m away from the wall, someone shouted at me that it was dangerous and I couldn't go, so I hurried back. 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 with. I have been to Alaska and Iceland and there are guides to walk the designated route all the way. Don't go to places without footprints on the glacier, pay attention to safety.

At Laigu Glacier, I saw blue ice for the first time

|||. The first sight of the blue glacier was really shocking!! The unadorned blue is really cool, and from the expressway into the scenic area, you can see a long blue ice wall from a distance, which is very explosive!! Laigu Glacier is a maritime glacier, so it only exists in winter. I came here a few years ago in summer, and it was just a puddle of muddy water. So if you want to see the glacier, you must come from December to March of the following year, and you will see it more completely. The weather is also very important. It's not so good to look at when it's snowing and cloudy. Under the reflection of the sunny day, the glacier will be bluer!! The original picture is directly out without any filters✌ Next is the precautions‼️We only went to the Blue Ice Lake, and heard from the hotel guide that this is the best one, and we didn't go to the other smaller and farther ones. 1️⃣ If you only look at the glacier, you need to buy a ticket to enter the scenic area and take the scenic area electric car. If you stay in the Songzan Hotel in the scenic area, you don't need to buy an extra ticket. The hotel is only a 5-minute walk from the glacier drop-off point. The glacier is deep inside and needs to be entered on foot or by horse. There is an extra charge for going to the other glaciers. 2️⃣Remember to buy ice claws in advance, the ice surface is really slippery, and it is easy to fall. 3️⃣Wear more clothes, wear hats and sunglasses, otherwise it will be very dazzling. 4️⃣If you are afraid of cold feet, remember to stick warm foot stickers, I am the one whose feet are frozen and numb😅

Laigu Glacier on the 318 Sichuan-Tibet Highway.

🍁Laigu Glacier is one of the world's three largest glaciers. When you see the pure glacier, it feels like you're at the end of the world. Time seems to stop, and you can't help but hold your breath. 🍁Imagine a place where streams converge, lakes surge, snowflakes drift, and freeze into ice. The ice crystallizes, covers, piles up, and collides, and the days and nights pass by unnoticed. Finally, after a long time, it appears before your eyes. 🍁You must visit Laigu Glacier in Tibet at least once in your life to experience its stunning and healing blue.

(23) The largest glacier group in China - Laigu Glacier.

(23) Self-driving tour of Sichuan-Tibet North-South Line The largest glacier group in China - Laigu Glacier Qamdo, Tibet 2024.9.21 Baxu is cloudy to sunny, with a temperature of 12-24 degrees. Today's highest altitude is 4400 meters, National Highway 318-National Highway 559. Yesterday's weather forecast said it would rain all day today, so I was ready to give up visiting Laigu Glacier and make other plans. This morning, I read the forecast again. The light rain was delayed until after noon. Seeing that the weather was relatively stable, I decided to go to Laigu Glacier Scenic Area immediately. Laigu Glacier is a collective term for a group of glaciers, known as "China's largest glacier" (Figure 1). It is located in Ranwu Town, Baxu County, Qamdo City. The glacier extends from the main peak of Gangrigarbu Mountain, which is 6606 meters above sea level, to an altitude of about 4000 meters. In terms of climate, it is located in the main channel of the Indian Ocean monsoon to transport cold air to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, with abundant rainfall, which is conducive to the development of glaciers, belonging to the marine glacier. As a friend left a message in the circle of friends: In China, there are not many places where you can see glaciers all year round, and the charming Tibet should contribute more than half of them. Indeed, low-altitude glaciers are mainly in Bomi and Baxu. There are currently three glaciers open in Laigu Scenic Area, namely Meixi Glacier, Ruijiao Glacier and Yalong Glacier. I didn't find any comparison of the characteristics of these three glaciers online, and I didn't ask any fellow travelers. It's like drawing lots to choose "Ruijiao Glacier" to visit (afterwards, I learned that there is not much difference in the way to enter, price, and view of the three glaciers). Let's take "Ruijiao Glacier" as an introduction for friends' reference. Overall feeling: The original ecological landscape is like an adventure; "Thousands of hardships and dangers", not suitable for everyone; First time on a glacier, see the "Blue Ice Cave", no regrets in this life. We arrived at the scenic area at 8:30 am, bought tickets and changed to a scenic bus. We drove for nearly half an hour to reach Laigu Village. Then we paid for another car and changed to a villager's four-wheel drive off-road vehicle. We bumped for nearly 50 minutes on the countless sharp turns, steep slopes, and muddy roads beside the cliffs. We came to the glacier. Self-driving four-wheel drive off-road vehicles can enter, but they are rarely seen, because the road conditions are unfamiliar and the difficulty is too high. That's not all, to get down to the glacier, there is no road, there is a slope, you have to go through a nearly 400-meter pile of rocks, weak or physically unstable people are very easy to sprain their feet or fall. It is very necessary to rent a pair of "ice claws" to walk on the glacier. The surface of the glacier is not flat, due to the erosion of meltwater, it is in the form of ditches and banks, and horizontal passage requires large strides or jumps (Figure 2). The weather in the mountains is changeable. At first, there was a little drizzle. Maybe it was infected by our persistence, the weather gradually changed from cloudy to sunny, the sun was shining, and the snow-capped mountains and glaciers were holy and handsome, majestic and spectacular (Figure 3). There was no sound around, only the sound of "click, click" of the "ice claws" on the glacier pushed us forward. There are natural "ice sculpture works" of various shapes on the glacier (Figures 4-5). Following the small flags inserted on the glacier, we walked for nearly 3 kilometers. At the end of one side of the glacier, we saw the "Blue Ice Cave". The ice cave is naturally formed. At this latitude and altitude, after a whole summer, there is still such a wonderful landscape, which is amazing (Figure 6). Bend down and walk into the cave, the top of the cave is like a tunnel arch, with meltwater dripping down from above, and the inside of the cave is unfathomable (Figure 7). The ice cave is light blue under the sunlight, crystal clear, unforgettable (Figure 8). It was already noon when we returned from the "Blue Ice Cave". After another difficult trek, bumpy ride, and dangerous situation, we finally returned to the parking lot at the entrance of the scenic area at 3 pm. We stayed in the scenic area for six and a half hours. On the way, the lake surface was like a mirror, and the mountains were like screens (Figure 9). Finally, I would like to remind you with a common phrase: Laigu is risky, and you need to be cautious when entering the park. Today is more tiring, did not go out as planned, just stayed in the hotel where I stayed last night, and plan to go to Zogong tomorrow.

Yalong Glacier | Stunning blue ice cave, it's really beautiful.

🗻Yalong Glacier is famous for its huge scale and spectacular scenery. Its unique S-shaped black and white stripes make the glacier majestic and magnificent. 💎Glacier type: Yalong Glacier is a marine glacier. This type of glacier has a strong effect on shaping the landform, so Yalong Glacier is not "ice clear and jade clean", but has unique landform features. ☃️Glacier age: Yalong Glacier has a history of about 1.5 million years and is an important witness to the evolution of glaciers on earth. ❄️Blue ice surface: Under certain conditions, the ice surface of Yalong Glacier will show a charming blue color. This is due to the scattering and reflection of light by the ice crystal structure inside the glacier, forming a unique blue ice landscape. 🕙Opening hours: Open in winter, you can go up to the ice surface from mid-January to early March 🎫Charges: Ticket 160💰➕Tibetan driving guide fee 200💰

Chamdo - Laigu Glacier

Draw a landscape of Laigu Glacier.

It is already April. It should have been the peak tourist season, but for various reasons, this year's peak season has not yet arrived. So let's broadcast the scenery ahead in real-time. Chengdu has already entered the peak blooming period of spring. In Laigu, located in the Chamdo region of Tibet at an altitude of 4000 meters, it is still a world of pure white snow. This set of pictures may not be perfect, but they can give us a glimpse of an icy peak world. It is always people who look at the scenery. The state of mind of people determines whether the scenery is beautiful or not. Currently, we cannot travel everywhere, and our mood is not very beautiful. How is your mood?

Laigu Glacier Blue Planet.

If you can't go to Antarctica, come to Laigu Glacier! 😂😂😂 "Laigu" means a hidden paradise in Tibetan. In Baxoi County, Chamdo, Tibet, China, there is such a village called Laigu Village🚞. The ancient village is surrounded by several radiating dragon-shaped glaciers, and the villagers have given each glacier a beautiful name, such as Meixi, Ruojiao, Xiongjia, and Dongga. These are the Laigu Glacier Group. Why is Laigu Glacier blue💎❓ Laigu Glacier is not formed by direct freezing of water but by the compression of snow accumulated over thousands of years. This compression creates very tiny bubbles between the ice grains. These bubbles easily absorb red and orange light from visible light, while blue and violet light are scattered, creating a beautiful blue color like the sky. This blue color can still be seen even in rainy or snowy weather. ⚠⚠⚠ Glacier Hiking Precautions! ✔ Be sure to prepare crampons in advance. The ice surface is very slippery. Someone broke their hand on the ice without crampons, so be careful! ✔ It is about 2 kilometers from the shore to the giant blue ice under the ice tongue, which takes about 30 minutes to walk. Pay attention to whether the ice surface under your feet is solid while walking. ✔ The temperature here is actually okay. When there is no wind, the sun is very warm and not cold. Sometimes you will encounter strong winds while walking on the glacier. Wearing earmuffs, gloves, and scarves will keep you warm. Try to go in the morning or noon when there is plenty of sunlight, less wind, and the sun is warm. ✔ Only in January and February does the lake of Laigu Glacier form a thick ice layer, allowing you to walk directly from the lake to the glacier. Do not venture into the glacier at other times, as it can be very dangerous...

Laigu Glacier

Located in the mysterious and pure blue ice realm of Tibet, you can touch the glacier up close, witnessing a millennia in a single glance. Between the end of the glacier and the ice lake, the fractured glacier reveals layers of eerily blue ice, towering dozens of meters high. The immense blue ice walls and ice caves present a scene so stunning, it's as if you're wandering through an Ice Age. Featured on the cover of the September 2018 issue of 'China National Geographic' magazine: 'Laigu Glacier Group, the true beauty lies even deeper.' You might find the full view of the glacier ordinary at first, but as you walk further in and see the blue ice up close, right before your eyes, within reach, only then can you appreciate the true beauty of Laigu. Beauty and danger coexist; the glacier's form varies with the seasons. Winter is the best time to visit, as the colder it is, the thicker and safer the ice layer on the lake. When the weather isn't cold enough, many areas have ice that's too thin and can easily break, causing you to fall into the ice. It's essential to have a reliable guide leading the way, safety first!

Glacier! The Blue Planet You Can’t Miss in Tibet

Traveling to ancient times is a journey that I will never forget and will have echoes. My goal during my trip to Tibet is to go to the glaciers. It doesn’t matter which one specifically. So when I went to Linzhi before, I never saw Lai Gu 🧊 After returning from 58 Glacier, the photos of Laigu Glacier started to knock me over. You can cross the frozen lake and touch the frozen ice floes That blue abyss that lasts ten thousand years Finally, I took the road to the east of Tibet again and made a ten-thousand-year appointment at the end of the world. 🏔️ We stopped the car at a temporary parking strip on the highway without a trace of light pollution, and looked up at the sky full of stars; We passed by a small village in Bomi at dusk and stopped there to watch the sun illuminate the snow-capped mountains but not the farms under them; We were driving on the 318 road, with Zhao Lei and Song Dongye in the car. Outside the car were green trees, forests, snowy mountains and villages; It seems that the winter wind is not very cold here, and the tranquility and peace make people like it. ...
