After two days of rushing, we finally came to Basu County from the urban area of Qamdo (Karuo District), which can be regarded as the start of the third stage of the 30-day Qamdo self-driving tour (there are ten counties and one district in Qamdo, the first nine days We visited the four counties of Chaya, Gongjue, Jiangda, and Mangkang successively, and then returned to Karuo District to rest for two days, and then continued to visit Bianba, Luolong, Dingqing, and Leiwuqi for 10 days. On the 22nd day, we returned to Karuo District to rest again. On the 22nd day, we set off again, walking and playing to the last two counties of Qamdo, Basu and Zuogong).
Ranwu Town
We set off from Basu County in the morning and arrived at Ranwu Town at noon. This is a famous town located on National Highway 318. Above it is the famous Laigu Glacier and downstream is Ranwu Lake. It is impossible to visit the two famous scenic spots in one day. Finished, so we are going to stay in Ranwu Town for one night, so after arriving in Ranwu Town, we are not too busy to play. We checked into the hotel first, put down our luggage, and then ordered a dish of Ranwu fish with local characteristics, Sichuan The Sichuan flavor made by people is a bit like a combination of boiled fish and pickled fish, but the taste is still very good.
Laigu Village
After lunch, we drove up the Ranwu Lake for more than ten kilometers, and then came to visit the famous Laigu Glacier. Before entering the glacier, we first visited the ancient Tibetan village on the edge of the glacier, and this glacier It is famous for this ancient village. It is a transliteration of Tibetan in ancient times. In Tibetan, it means a hidden paradise-like village. The village is located at the foot of the snow-capped mountains. As the name suggests, the village is really beautiful. It is a fairytale-like village. ancient village.
Laigu Glacier
When we visited the ancient village, the weather was getting worse and worse. At the beginning, there were blue sky and white clouds, which were slowly covered by rain and fog. In order to take better photos of the glacier, we hurriedly ended our visit to the ancient village and drove back. At the entrance of the ancient glacier, fly a drone first, and then walk into the glacier to see the charm of dreamy blue ice.
Laigu Glacier has a great reputation. It is not only a famous scenic spot on the Sichuan-Tibet line, but also the largest and widest glacier known in Tibet. It is one of the three major glaciers in the world. In my opinion, its reputation in Qamdo No less than the thousand-year-old salt fields in Mangkang and the Zizhu Temple in Xiqing, whether it is fame or playability, it can at least rank among the top five major attractions in Qamdo.
Laigu Glacier is not the name of a glacier, but the collective name of six major glaciers, including Meixi Glacier, Yalong Glacier, Ruojiao Glacier, Dongga Glacier, Xiongjia Glacier and Niuma Glacier. Among these glaciers , and Yalong Glacier is the most spectacular.
Laigu Glacier is not an isolated scenic spot. It is connected to the famous Ranwu Lake. It is located in the upper reaches of Ranwu Town, Basu County, Changdu City, Tibet. The source can also be regarded as the source of the Yarlung Zangbo River.
Being able to see six marine glaciers at the same place is not only the only one in China, but also unique in the world, so there is a reason why it can be selected as one of the three major glaciers in the world by a domestic expert, and according to relevant According to the information provided by the website, the Laigu Glacier is the same type of glacier as the Antarctic and the North Pole, so that some foreign experts said that if you think the North and South Poles are too far away, then you can also experience the beauty of the North and South Poles when you go to the Laigu Glacier in China.
Among the six glaciers in Laigu Glacier, Yalong Glacier is the most spectacular. Standing by the white pagoda in front of Laigu Village, we can see the source of Yalong Glacier to its tail—the huge ice tongue that goes deep into Gongcuo Lake. You will have a panoramic view of the momentum of the 12-kilometer huge ice body, which is very majestic and magical, which is breathtaking.
It was always winter when we arrived, and the Gangrigabu Glacier Lake under the Laigu Glacier had already frozen. Everyone can go up to the lake and get close to the glacier. Only we are surrounded by strange ice stones, icicles, Only when you are in the ice cave can you truly appreciate the uncanny craftsmanship of the ancient glaciers, and you have to marvel at the magic of creation.
The weather changed rapidly that day. Although a little blue sky could be seen in the distance, there was a blizzard in the glacier lake. It really felt like we had arrived at the Antarctic and the North Pole. There were all kinds of blue ice peaks around us. , are all broken ice that collapsed on the glacier, which looks crystal clear and very beautiful. If the weather is fine and the sun shines, it should be even more charming.
Laizheng Glacier is very beautiful, here is a large piece of glacier that we usually rarely see, but under the snowstorm, we dare not stay too long, the cold wind mixed with snowflakes hits the face, like a knife cut Generally, and we were worried that there would be worse weather in the future, so even though we were reluctant to part with the beautiful scenery here, we had to leave.
Yufan Tips:
