Basu, I believe that friends who have walked through the Sichuan-Tibet line will be familiar with it, because it is not only the only way to pass through the Sichuan-Tibet line (318 National Highway) and the Yunnan-Tibet line, but also the tourism resources here are extremely rich, and almost everyone who enters Tibet Friends who travel will stay in Basu for at least one day, and some even stay for multiple days.
Why stop in Basu? Because here is the most beautiful glacier group on the Sichuan-Tibet line - Laigu Glacier, which is composed of Meixi Glacier, Yalong Glacier, Ruojiao Glacier, Dongga Glacier, Xiongjia Glacier and Niuma Glacier. It is not only the largest and widest known in Tibet. The glacier is one of the three largest glaciers in the world. In addition, there are also scenic spots such as Ranwu Lake, the most beautiful lake on the Sichuan-Tibet line, and the most dangerous road on the Sichuan-Tibet line, the Seventy-two Turns of the Nujiang River.
It is precisely because of the existence of scenic spots such as Laigu Glacier, Ranwu Lake, and Seventy-two Roads that Basu County is famous on the Sichuan-Tibet Line. It is only a part of the lake, and here we introduce another lake—Rencuo Lake.
Rencuo Lake is located in Guoqing Township, Basu County, with an altitude of 4,500 meters. Although Rencuo Lake is far less famous than Ranwu Lake, it is also beautiful, and it has gradually spread in domestic photography circles in recent years. , attracting many domestic photography enthusiasts to come here to shoot and create.
Rencuo Lake is a typical plateau lake with an altitude of more than 4,500 meters. It is surrounded by snow-capped mountains. The lake water is formed by the fusion of snow-capped mountains and glaciers. It is extremely clear. Its altitude is higher than both Changbai Mountain Tianchi and Tianshan Tianchi. So it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a Tianchi.
According to local friends, Rencuo Lake will be frozen in winter, and the other three seasons are clear and transparent. The lake is crystal clear, the mountains are beautiful, and the lake is wide. It is a habitat and breeding ground for many kinds of rare birds. Among them, wild water birds such as black-necked cranes, red-crowned cranes, wild ducks, and egrets flock here to forage for food and breed offspring.
It was winter when we arrived, the lake was frozen, the grassland was yellow, and the cold wind was blowing, it looked a bit bleak, but this ice and snow landscape still looked very beautiful, especially for southern friends who rarely see ice and snow As far as I am concerned, I will definitely linger and forget to return.
On the edge of Rencuo Lake, there is a large grassland wetland with rivers and rivers. Although it is winter, there are still flocks of cattle and sheep inside. With the surrounding snow-capped mountains and lakes, this picture is really beautiful from a distance. Although Rencuo Lake is not a scenic spot in the traditional sense, Yufan personally feels that it is more beautiful than many scenic spots. If it is not extremely cold, we may drive around the lake and play for a day. If you happen to be going through Basu, you can actually add it to your itinerary.
