Other times it may be blocked and entry is not allowed, so the timing of your visit is very important! 🎈We flew directly to Changdu, if you feel the altitude is too high, you can fly to Linzhi or Lhasa and then join a tour/charter a car/carpool/self-drive there, to acclimatize 🎈The light effect on the Laigu Glacier is better in the morning, and on sunny days, you can get a better blue glacier effect for photos 🎈Accommodation on the second day is recommended in Basu or Ranwu Town, and you can return to Bomi for accommodation on the third day 🎈Bring/rent ice grips, so it's easier to walk on the ice surface, hats, sunglasses, face towels, sunscreen, and high-calorie snacks are essential 🎈After reaching the main entrance, you need to hike/ride a horse into the scenic area, about 20 minutes, horse riding around 100/person 🎈The ultraviolet rays are very strong, it's quite sunny during the day, wearing a down jacket is enough 🎈Do not rashly enter the interior of the glacier!
