The world of ice and snow, the beauty of purity, photos can't tell you the beauty you see in Ranwu Lake

Ranwu Lake is about 4000 meters above sea level, called Ranwu Tso in Tibetan (Tso is the pronunciation of lake in Tibetan), located in the southwest corner of Basu County, Changdu City, about 90 kilometers from the county town of Baima Town. Ranwu Lake is a barrier lake formed by reasons such as mountain landslides or mudslides blocking rivers. It also belongs to the plateau glacier lake. The surrounding snow mountains and glacier meltwater provide Ranwu Lake with abundant water sources. The water of Ranwu Lake is therefore icy and bone-chilling, and it presents different water volumes and colors in different seasons. If you want to say the most beautiful time of Ranwu Lake, it must be every March and April. At this time, the nearby Dagu Glacier has not melted, and the lake water becomes clear and bright after the winter precipitation. Under the sun, it shows a heartwarming blue-green color. When the lake is windless, it is like a green mirror reflecting all the surrounding white snow mountains into the lake. Ranwu Lake has many beautiful legends and the reputation of 'Southwest Yaochi'. Today's Ranwu Lake has become more beautiful because of the appropriate development, which can make those tourists who are longing for it have a better viewing experience and more convenient channels to understand it and love it.
