Chapter 515 Visiting 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 a vast deep blue lake. On the opposite side of the lake is a plate of snow-capped mountains. Several handsome snow peaks blink with dazzling silver light in the morning light, showing the unparalleled beauty of Ranwu Lake!
After taking photos, there are public toilets in the camp. Ma Xiaoliang suggested that they go there to solve the problem. Zhao Cui knew that this was to save water, so he simply agreed!After everything was ready, Ma Xiaoliang used the rice cooker to make a pot of rice and red date porridge, took out the pickles he bought, and took out the frozen steamed buns from the refrigerator. This was a simple breakfast!After the four of them finished eating, Zhao Jie took the initiative to wash the dishes and followed the convoy to a village called Dakangsha Village. There is a large grassland between the upper lake and the middle lake. The mountains are reflected in the water, and the mountains and rivers are the same color. , water and sky correspond, like a dream!
There is also a Xiudeng Temple on the mountain next to Kangsha Village. It is a good place to overlook Shangranwu Lake and Kangsha Village. There is a dirt road that can go up. Here you can see the whole picture of Shangranwu Lake. If you have time, don’t do it. If you miss it, walking up the water source of Ranwu Lake, there will be a Tibetan village - Laigu Village.In Tibetan, "Laigu" means a secret paradise.There is also a world-class glacier hidden behind it, Laigu Glacier. Laigu Glacier is one of the three largest glaciers in the world. The iconic S-shaped glacier at the source of Ranwu Lake has a particularly clear direction, and the glacier is light blue.It is the largest and widest glacier known in XZ. Then Zhao Cui and his party returned to the peninsula a little past a few Tibetan households. Opposite the highland barley grown here is the snow peak, and under the snow peak is Ranwu Lake. Next to the lake There are pastures and highland barley racks. Ripe highland barley is placed in bundles on the highland barley racks, showing a gold-like color. The scene is very picturesque.

Then return to Ranwu Town, return to National Highway 318 and continue moving forward, and then follow the Ranwu Lake Highway towards Bomi. When you are about to reach the outlet of Ranwu Lake, you can stop at a curve and look back to take photos of Ranwu. The panoramic view of the lake under the lake, there is still ice in the distance, but the blue lake water is close by, which is very strange.If you continue to move forward, you will reach the outlet of Naihu Lake. The originally gentle lake surface will become very fast here, and here Naihu Lake will also become one of the upper sources of the Parlung Zangbo River.

After leaving Ranwu Lake and traveling 40 kilometers, a huge snow wall protruded from the overlapping peaks on the left side of the car window, as clear as jade and shining brightly.Go through the Midui No. 317 Tunnel, turn left, leave the [-] National Highway, cross the newly built Parongzangbo Highway Bridge, go up the Midui River with white waves, and walk a few kilometers on a narrow village road between the cliffs. , in front of everyone's eyes, a large and wide valley appeared, with green grass and scattered residential buildings.In the distance, two spectacular ice waterfalls hang between the snow peaks and the forest, like two huge curtains falling from the sky, shining silver in the sun.

The nearly kilometer drop makes people feel dizzy.The cold wind blowing from the glacier hits your face, refreshing your heart and mind, and making you feel awe-inspiring.

Midui Glacier is located in BM County, LZD District. The main peak of the glacier is 6800 meters above sea level, the snow line is 4600 meters above sea level, and the terminal is 2400 meters above sea level. It is the lowest glacier in the world and one of the three largest marine glaciers in China. In 2005, Midui Glacier The glacier was selected as No. 4 of the six most beautiful glaciers in China by China National Geographic magazine.

Due to its fame, tourists come in droves.This is Ma Xiaoliang’s second visit to Midui Village at the foot of the glacier.Compared with the time in 2005, the supporting facilities of the scenic spot have been developed from scratch, including canteens, catering, accommodation, and horse teams. The biggest difference is that two kilometers away, a new viewing platform has been built in front of the moraine lake at the end of the glacier. , tourists who appreciate the glacier can only go as far as here.

These changes made Ma Xiaoliang's glacier trip in the summer of 2005 extremely precious.

It was almost dusk when Ma Xiaoliang arrived in Midui Village. With the consent of a simple Tibetan old man at the entrance of the village, we camped in front of his house on the grass full of wild flowers.Get up early the next day and look around at the mountains on all sides. The mist is lingering on the mountainside, and the air is fresh and sweet.At the end of the valley, the majestic Midui Glacier appears and disappears among the clouds and mist, emitting a majestic brilliance.
