🌄Basu Glacier Secret Realm! I've been to the blue ice wonder at the end of the world! 🗻Must-visit reason: Tibet's Ice Age! Reach out and touch the millennia-old blue ice 📍Address: Ranwu Town, Basu County, Chamdo City, Tibet Autonomous Region 🚙Travel tips: Drive the highlight section of National Highway 318! About 20 km from Ranwu Lake by car (gravel and permafrost roads, off-road vehicle recommended) 📸Stunning photo spots: 1️⃣ Glacier tongue front The ice tower forest formed by glacier fractures is super shocking! Wearing bright colors makes photos stand out more 2️⃣ Ice lake reflection The lake surface reflects the entire glacier like a mirror (best shooting time 11:00-13:00) ⚠️Latest notice: Due to climate warming, the ice surface is unstable, and stepping on the glacier is now prohibited (outer viewing platforms remain open) 🧥Gear suggestions: - Must bring sunglasses to prevent snow blindness - Fleece-lined jacket + waterproof boots - Portable oxygen bottle for 4500m altitude 💙My experience: Standing in front of the ice lake, the blue ice wall seemed magically glowing! Looking back now, I feel super lucky to have witnessed such a miracle before it closed~
