Tibet Glacier Tour: A Stunning Spectacle of a Blue Alien World

The Laigu Glacier, the most astonishing blue alien world in Tibet! When you come to Tibet, you definitely should not miss this excellent sightseeing spot. As one of the three largest glaciers in the world, the Laigu Glacier is the largest and most expansive glacier known in Tibet. Crossing the mountains, the glacier scenery that unfolds before your eyes is dreamlike and surreal, as if instantly freezing the soul. Within sight, the blue-glowing glacier and the distant snow-capped mountains reflect each other, taking us back to the magnificent scenery of the Ice Age. The ticket price is 189 yuan (including sightseeing car), and the opening hours are from 9:00 to 17:00. The best viewing season is limited to winter, from late December to around February, when you can step on the ice surface and touch these millennia-old blue ice blocks up close, feeling the spectacular Ice Age. Here are some suggestions: 1. It is recommended to bring a hat and sunglasses, and to keep warm. 2. It is recommended to start the tour around 10 am, as the visual effect of the glacier in the afternoon may not be as good as in the morning. 3.
