January 8: Buga Snow Mountain, Glacier Buga Snow Mountain (Glacier) is located in the Yuxiong natural village of Waduoga village (Three Villages), Rongbu Town. To the southeast of the snow mountain is the Buxiong Jiong Mountain rock and Gajiong Mountain Temple in Gangxing Township, Dingqing County; to the northeast is the Yongcuo Temple, to the west is Gexia Gang and Lazha Temple in Ya'an Town, Baqing County, and to the southwest is Rongbu Town in Suoxian County, and Xichang Township and Redeng Temple. The snow mountain is about 6328 meters above sea level and is one of the seven sacred mountains of Tibet. On January 12, 2016, the China Geographical Landscape Great Discovery scientific expedition team discovered five fully developed giant hanging glaciers on Buga Snow Mountain at the junction of Dingqing, Baqing, and Suoxian counties in Changdu City, Tibet. The longest of these hanging glaciers stretches from the peak of Buga Snow Mountain to the moraine lake at an altitude of over 4200 meters, with a drop of more than 2100 meters. The Rongrong Glacier cascades down from the 6328-meter peak of Buga Snow Mountain, forming a hanging glacier body with a slope of about 70 degrees. Today, we visited the Yuexiong Glacier and the Zuxuehui Glacier from the southern slope.
