Explore the Xialong Glacier: Encounter the Stunning Beauty of the Laigu Glacier Group

In the distant and mysterious Tibetan land, the Laigu Glacier Group is like a dazzling pearl, and the Xialong Glacier is breathtakingly beautiful, definitely a must-visit destination in a lifetime!

The Xialong Glacier is an important member of the Laigu Glacier Group, and the Yalong Glacier here is the largest and most spectacular. The 3-kilometer-long ice tongue winds down like a silver dragon, with endless blue ice walls and scattered blue ice caves, emitting a charming blue light under the sunlight, as if you are in a dreamlike ice and snow world.

There are various ways to get to the Yalong Glacier. You can drive to Daba Village or take the scenic shuttle bus. Upon arrival, villagers and guides will take you further. On the way, there is a panoramic check-in point at the first pass, "I miss you very much at the Yalong Glacier," don't forget to leave a romantic moment here. From the small dirt pile to the left and back, you can also fly a drone and easily capture stunning photos. When you reach the place to rent crampons, spend 20 yuan, and after putting them on, you can reach the beautiful new ice cave and blue ice wall in just 5 minutes.

However, be aware that the road to Yalong is rugged and difficult, so it's best to choose a hardcore off-road vehicle, and the driver must be brave enough. Also, from the entrance of the Dagu Glacier to the scenic area, you need to walk or ride a horse for about 20 minutes. Preparation before the trip is also important, as the ultraviolet rays here are very strong, so be sure to bring enough sunscreen. Bring hats, face towels, sunglasses, high-calorie snacks, and crampons to make walking on the ice safer.

In addition to playing, you can also choose a 4-day or 5-day tour route of Nyingchi + Laigu Glacier. Travel through the magnificent Lalin Expressway, view Mount Namjagbarwa from afar, stroll through the primeval forest, and encounter many beautiful sights such as Ranwu Lake.

Friends, don't hesitate any longer, come to the Xialong Glacier and start an unforgettable ice and snow fantasy journey, and experience the magnificent beauty of nature's craftsmanship! Yalong Glacier
