What are the places worth visiting in eastern Tibet?

If the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is the roof of the earth's world, what can't be ignored is the landform that the polar regions should have: glaciers. Eastern Tibet is the wettest area on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, and it is also the place with the densest snow-capped mountains and glaciers. Tibet has become the provincial administrative region with the largest glacier area in China with 48% possession, and Nyainqentanglha Mountain is the largest glacier area in the southeast of Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. Midui Glacier, Laigu Glacier, Renlongba Glacier, Puyu Glacier, Sapu Glacier and Rongrong Glacier are the few deep blue glaciers that can be approached and touched in China. Friends who choose to travel in winter can also walk on the frozen blue or green moraine lake and feel the magic of the ice and snow world at close range. For friends who like photography, this route is definitely the best choice for shooting glaciers.

This is an unusually rich route. There are many snow-capped mountains, white glaciers, quiet lakes, dense forests, vast grasslands, fast-flowing rivers, rich wildlife resources, profound Tibetan cultural customs, and heavy history of the ancient tea-horse road ... Just name one or two places, such as Ranwu Lake, Laigu Glacier, Sapu Mountain and Namco, which is enough to make a trip. The scenery along the way is magnificent and the viewing is excellent. The trip to Sapu Ring Road, a secret place in eastern Tibet, starts from Lhasa, the sunshine city. The route passes through many scenic spots, from the low-altitude National Highway 3 18 to the east, and then turns west at Bangda Changdu to enter National Highway 3 17. Draw a perfect circle around the eastern part of Nyainqentanglha Mountain without looking back.

Jurang

Depart from Lhasa, pass through Linzhi, follow the 3 18 national road and cross the Sedila Mountain. Sejila Mountain belongs to Nyainqentanglha Mountain, which is the dividing line between the eastern and central and western parts of Linzhi County, Tibet. It is the watershed between Yang Ni River Basin and Palong Zangbo River, and the southern line of Sichuan-Tibet Highway passes through here. Climbing the mountain pass at an altitude of 4,728 meters, you can see the sunrise, the sea of clouds, the boundless forest and the majestic posture overlooking Nange Bawa Peak. If the weather is fine, you can also shoot the magnificent scene of Rizhao Jinshan in Yamaguchi. The next day's trip, the foothold is the town of Lulang in the south of the Yangtze River.

Lulang is known as "natural oxygen bar" and "biological gene bank". The rural scenery of Lulang makes people feel like they are in the south of the Yangtze River. Tibetan-style folk houses and some buildings with Tibetan, Han, Menba and other ethnic characteristics are scattered among alpine pastoral pastures, which are quiet and peaceful. The courtyard is clean and tidy, and the fragrance of flowers permeates the whole courtyard.

Lulang is 3385 meters above sea level, located on the Sichuan-Tibet Highway about 80 kilometers away from Bayi Town, Linzhi area, and in the deep mountains and forests. The green hills on both sides are composed of shrubs, dense spruce and pine trees in Kunming from low to high, forming a "Lulang Linhai"; In the middle is a uniform meadow, which seems to be artificially improved; On the grass, streams meander and springs gurgle. Thousands of wild flowers are blooming on the lawn, such as Chunkun flower, Aster flower, Prunus mume flower and Pedicularis flower. The wooden fences, wooden houses, wooden bridges and farmers' and herdsmen's villages all over Kunming outline a quiet and beautiful "Shan Jutu".

Legau Glacier

Leave the beautiful town of Lulang, pass through the lush subtropical glacier rain forest, visit Guzhen Lake, come to bomi county, pass through Midui Glacier and Ranwu Lake, and reach Laigu Village. The Laigu Glacier here is definitely a must-see for photographers. In Laigu Village, you can see Meixi Glacier, Yalong Glacier, Ruojiao Glacier, Dongga Glacier, Xiong Jia Glacier and Niuma Glacier at the same time. Because these glaciers are all around Laigu village, they are collectively called Laigu Glacier. Laigu Glacier is located in Ranwu Town, basu county, Changdu District, Tibet, adjacent to Ranwu Lake. Laigu Glacier is one of the three largest glaciers in the world and the source of Palong Tibetan cloth. Water melted by snow and ice flows into Ranwu Lake, surrounded by dense virgin forests and many primitive Tibetan villages.

Laigu Glacier comes from a small Tibetan village near the glacier. Laigu village means a hidden paradise-like village in Tibetan. Laigu Village is hidden in the blue sky surrounded by mountains and seems to be deliberately hidden by nature, hence its name. Laigu Glacier, adjacent to Ranwu Lake, is the largest and widest glacier known in Tibet. Laigu Glacier is more full of snow-capped mountains than Hailuogou Glacier, Mingyong Glacier and Rongbu Glacier. On the pristine ice lake, huge glaciers are in various forms and beautiful! Walking into the ancient glaciers is like going back to the ancient ice age, washing away the dust in the world and purifying the soul.

Zizhu temple

Leave Laigu, cross Anjula Mountain, go to Bangda via basu county, and cross the Nujiang River for seventy-two turns. As the only way of the southern Sichuan-Tibet line, it is more challenging for many riders or drivers because of its danger. Every year, pedestrians passing by here are full of sighs about this road.

The route starts from the north, along the national highway 2 14, crosses the Bunda grassland, and reaches the Pearl Changdu in eastern Tibet. Zheluo Temple is located on Zizhu Mountain, a famous holy mountain in Dingqing County, Changdu District, eastern Tibet, with an altitude of about 4,800 meters. It is one of the highest temples in Tibet and one of the oldest and most important Bonism temples in Yongzhong. Zheluo Temple was founded 3000 years ago, initiated by the second generation of Tibetan king Mu Chi Zanpu, and was founded and passed down by the first master Mu Bang Sa Dong, who is now the 43rd. The abbot Lama is honored as "Zizhu Living Buddha", and the current abbot is Ding Zhenzu Prouzi Living Buddha.

Jiabu Snow Mountain

Drive 30 kilometers from Dingqing County, visit Butuo Lake, and then go west along Line 3 17 to Jiabu Snow Mountain. Jiabu Snow Mountain (Glacier) is located in Yuxiong Natural Village, Wadoga Village, Rongbu Town. To the southeast of the Snow Mountain are Buxiong Jiong Mountain Rock and Gejishan Temple in Xinggang Township, Dingqing County. Yongcuo Temple in the northeast, Laigang and Lazha Temple in Ya 'an Town of Baqing County in the west, Rongbu Town of Suoxian County and Hedeng Temple in Xichang Township in the southwest. Snow Mountain is about 7328 meters above sea level and is one of the seven sacred mountains in Tibet.

Jiabu Snow Mountain is one of the most famous Buddhist holy mountains in Tibet, located in the west of Dingqing and the highest peak in eastern Tibet. Seen from different directions, it has unique topographical features and different shapes. It's really a true portrayal of "from the side, the peaks are green and the distance is different". Moreover, a mountain here has a unique four-season scenery, that is, the top of the mountain is covered with snow all year round, while flowers are in full bloom at the foot of the mountain, and there are many mysterious legends unique to Boni. On 20th/KOOC-0/665438+/KOOC-0/October/KOOC-0/2nd, five giant suspended glaciers with complete development were discovered here by the scientific expedition of China Geographical Landscape Discovery.

Rongrong Glacier, one of the longest suspended glaciers, extends from Bujia Xuefeng at 6328 meters to moraine lake at an altitude of more than 4200 meters, with a drop of more than 21000 meters (far exceeding 1080 meters in Hailuogou), forming a suspended glacier with a slope of about 70 degrees. In the afternoon and dusk, we have enough time to photograph the vastness and magic of this glacier.

Sapu Shenshan

For example, Sapu Mountain in Puzonggou, Yang Xiu Township. It has stood here for thousands of years, surrounded by mountains, and its main peak is honored as the local king of mountain gods. Its highest peak is 6556 meters, also known as "Sapu Gunlagabu", which is one of the sacred mountains of Bonism in Tibetan Buddhism. In midsummer, the top of Sapu Mountain is covered with snow, rain and fog, and flowers and grass are blooming below. Because of the deep valley and inconvenient transportation, this amazing glacier has been hidden in the boudoir, which is little known and a virgin land to be developed.

Sapu Holy Lake was formed by the melting of snow and ice in Shenshan for thousands of years. It extends from the foot of the sacred mountain and is divided into two parts. Near the foot of the mountain is a glacial lake, which does not melt all year round. On the other hand, the water in the main lake is clear and clean, so every May 15, a grand religious activity of turning to the lake to pray for blessings will be held near Sapu Shenhu. It is said that the main lake will be completely thawed overnight in May 15 and completely frozen overnight in September 15 every year. This phenomenon is wonderful, and it is an excellent place for people to travel and sightseeing.
