Visit Ranwu Lake

The next morning, when I woke up, there was a lot of noise outside the car, Ma Xiaoliang opened the car door, and it was sunrise outside! In front of you is the vast deep blue lake, on the opposite side of the lake is a snow-capped mountain, several handsome snow peaks in the morning light blinking dazzling silver light, showing the incomparable beauty of Ranwu Lake!

After taking the photo, there was a public toilet in the camp, Ma Xiaoliang proposed where to solve it, Zhao Cui knew that this was to save water, so she simply agreed! Everything was ready, Ma Xiaoliang made a pot of rice and red date porridge with a rice cooker, took out the pickles he bought, and took out the frozen small steamed buns from the refrigerator, this is a simple breakfast! After the four of them finished eating, Zhao Jie took the initiative to brush the dishes, followed the convoy and continued to move forward, and came to a village, called Dakangsha Village, where there is a large meadow between the upper lake and the middle lake, the mountains are reflected in the water, the mountains and rivers are the same color, the water and the sky are corresponding, like a dream!

There is also a Xiudeng Temple on the hill next to Kangsha Village, which is a good place to overlook Shangranwu Lake and Kangsha Village, there is a dirt road to go up, you can see the whole picture of Shangranwu Lake here, if you have time, don't miss it, go up along the water source of Ranwu Lake, there will be a Tibetan village - Laigu Village. In Tibetan, "laigu" means a hidden paradise. Behind it there is also a world-class glacier, Laigu Glacier, Laigu Glacier is one of the world's three major glaciers, the source of Ranwu Lake's iconic S-shaped glacier trend is particularly distinct, the glacier is light blue. It is the largest and widest glacier known in Tibet, and then Zhao Cui and his entourage returned to the peninsula in the past a few Tibetan households, the barley planted here is opposite the snow peak, under the snow peak is Ranwu Lake, there are pastures and barley racks by the lake, and the mature barley is placed on the barley racks in bundles, showing the color of gold, and the scene is very picturesque.

Then return to Ranwu Town, return to 318 National Highway to continue to move forward, and then along the lower Ranwu Lake Highway to Bomi direction in the direction of almost to the outlet of Ranwu Lake, you can stay on a bend, turn back to shoot you can take a panoramic view of Ranwu Lake, the distance is still the ice surface, but the near is the blue lake, very peculiar. If you continue to the outlet, you will reach the outlet of the lake, where the gentle surface of the lake becomes very rapid, and here the lake becomes one of the upper sources of the Palung Zangbo River.

After leaving Ranwu Lake and setting off for 40 kilometers, a huge snow wall burst in between the overlapping peaks on the left side of the window, and the ice was as clear as jade, shining brightly. Passing through the Midui No. 1 Tunnel, turn left, leave National Highway 317, cross the newly built Palung Zangbo Highway Bridge, go up along the Midui River with white waves, and walk a few kilometers on a narrow village road between the cliffs. In the distance, two spectacular ice waterfalls hang between the snowy peaks and the forest, like two huge curtains falling from the sky, glittering silver in the sun.

The drop of nearly a kilometer makes people feel dizzy. The cold wind blowing from the glacier blows in the face, penetrates the heart and spleen, and makes people feel awe-inspired.

Midui Glacier, located in Bomi County, Nyingchi Prefecture, the main peak of the glacier is 6800 meters above sea level, the snow line is 4600 meters above sea level, and the end is 2400 meters above sea level, which is the lowest glacier in the world and one of the three major marine glaciers in China, in 2005, Midui Glacier was selected as the fourth of the six most beautiful glaciers in China by China National Geographic magazine.

Under the fame, tourists flock to it. This is the second time Ma Xiaoliang has come to Midui Village at the foot of the glacier. Compared to the 2005 time, the scenic area has been built from nothing, with a commissary, catering, accommodation, and horse teams, the biggest difference being that two kilometers away, a new viewing platform has been built in front of the moraine lake at the end of the glacier, and tourists who enjoy the glacier can only reach here.

These changes made Ma Xiaoliang's trip to the glacier in the summer of 2005 invaluable.

At that time, it was nearly dusk when Ma Xiaoliang arrived in Midui Village, and with the consent of a simple Tibetan old man at the entrance of the village, we camped in front of his house, on a meadow full of wild flowers. When I woke up early the next day, I looked around at the mountains on all sides, the mist lingered on the mountainside, and the air was fresh and sweet. At the end of the valley, the majestic Midui Glacier appears and disappears in the clouds, emitting a dignified clear glow.
