Tibet｜The Secret Treasures of Renlongba Glacier Finally I met the ideal blue in Tibet Here you can fully meet your needs for blue ice A rare treasure spot with great value for money There are almost no tourists here Maybe into the glacier You are the only one who can enjoy this beautiful view Walking on the lake Towards the foot of the snow-capped mountains Towards the Blue Ice Cave Touch the ice that has not melted for thousands of years Take a life movie 🗺️ Location: Rilongba, Ranwu Town, Basu County Navigation 📍Renlongba Glacier (there is a glacier sign on the roadside) (About half an hour’s drive from Laigu Glacier) 🎫 Tickets: 50RMB/person In the end you will find that 50 RMB will be the most worthwhile of this journey

🚗 After coming out of the Renlongba Glacier, I hitched a ride on the roadside, and the driver was a delivery man named Tashi. Just after leaving the glacier, there is a mountain to cross, which is not very easy to drive on. Both the uphill and downhill slopes are steep, and the turns are sharp, so if you are driving yourself, you need to pay special attention to safety. The road just out of the glacier has some potholes, so you have to be careful. 🚗 The road afterwards is relatively okay, with no signs of ice or landslides. The road follows the Sangqu River, and you can almost always catch a glimpse of the snowy mountains, which makes for a nice view. There is a spot where you can see the Zayü Grand Canyon. The water flow is not very large at this time of the season. 🚗 After coming down, the vegetation on the mountains is quite lush, and what you can see is mostly green, with very few bare mountain tops. The whole journey took a little over 3 hours, with a 20-minute break in the middle for Tashi to have a meal.

🚗 This winter tour to Tibet was specifically for the glaciers, and after arriving in Lhasa, I joined a 5-day tour to visit three glaciers, which was later changed to a 4-day itinerary due to lack of participants. I read online that Renlongba Glacier is good and very close to Laigu, so I was tempted to leave the group. The winter view of Ranwu Lake was so beautiful that I decided to stay in Ranwu after finishing the Laigu Glacier trip the next day, and prepared to visit Renlongba Glacier from there the following day. Overall, I think it was worth it, although it's not as convenient as Laigu. The two glaciers have different styles, and if you like the outdoors, you can check out both. 🚗 Specific Itinerary and Costs 1. From Ranwu Town to the entrance of Renlongba Glacier, 150y one way, 300y round trip. I was planning to go along National Highway 559 to Zayu, so I booked a one-way trip. It takes about 50 minutes, and the scenery along the way is amazing. The vehicles used are Wuling Hongguang or JAC. 2. At the entrance of Renlongba scenic spot, you need to take their shuttle bus to the transfer station. If you drive yourself, it's 50y per person, sharing their car is 70y per person, and if you're alone, it's 100y. Now it's the off-season, there are few people, and I had to go to Zayu in the afternoon, so after some hesitation, I chose to pay 100y to go in. The vehicle is a four-wheel drive pickup. 3. At the transfer station, you should be able to ride horses, but when I went there were no people or horses, I don't know if it was because it was too early. It takes about 20 minutes to walk from here to the glacier entrance, not too far but higher in altitude than Laigu. ⚠️ This section of the road is particularly bad, be careful when driving! 4. The glacier entrance is just a flattened wire fence, I saw others driving in and you can also drive directly to this place. I asked the guy and he said no one cares so he just drove in. 5. The driver who brought me here will wait at the place where you get off, but I don't know if this driver was too anxious and drove in himself. 6. From Renlongba Glacier to Zayu, they quoted a price of 350y, but you can bargain down to 300y. I was quite lucky today, I hitched a ride with a guy named Tashi and gave him 100y. In Zayu, I saw there were buses from Zayu to Changdu, if you want to take one, you can inquire on your own. 🚗 Precautions 1. The prices for several routes are basically fixed, and I asked at least three people for each route. Of course, you can also ask around, be sure to contact several drivers (because I was stood up by the hotel's driver, who agreed to a 150y one-way trip yesterday, but this morning he said 150y was for carpooling, and he wouldn't go without others). 2. If you don't have a four-wheel drive or are not skilled at driving, it's recommended to take the scenic area's vehicle, it's very bumpy, and it was my first time experiencing my phone hitting my face, which really hurt. 3. There are no supply points, so you need to bring your own water and food. 4. There are no ice claw rentals, for safety I still recommend using them. I rented them yesterday at Laigu and brought them out today, buying a pair for 25 is definitely enough. 5. The altitude here is higher than Laigu, so don't do too strenuous exercise. It's windy, you can bring a mask. 6. If you plan to spend a long time, you can arrange with the driver in advance when to come to the scenic spot entrance to pick you up, as there are very few cars here.

Self-driving on the Ancient Tea-Horse Road for 40 days Entering Tibet from Route 318, going to Ranwu to see the glacier, we gave up the well-known glaciers such as Laigu, Midui, and chose the relatively niche Renlongba Glacier. Originally, I just wanted to avoid some travel routines and be able to comfortably look at the glacier from a distance. I didn't expect to achieve it all at once, and achieved the 'Blue Ice Achievement' in one go, satisfying my beautiful fantasy. So, how do you get here? How to play? Understand these five things in advance to help you easily see the blue ice. 1⃣️Basic situation of Renlongba Glacier Renlongba, this low-latitude maritime glacier at the junction of Changdu Ranwu and Linzhi Chayu in Tibet, not only has a huge and wide beautiful ice tongue, but the moraine lake under the glacier can also form a dreamy blue ice belt. 2⃣️The season that can unlock the 'Blue Ice Achievement' In the past, when I was planting grass on the glacier on the Internet, I always thought that I had to go through a lot of twists and turns to appreciate the blue ice. As a result, the first glacier we arrived in Tibet has woven a deep and beautiful blue dream for us. The climate varies every year, the state of the blue ice is different, and every encounter is an irreplaceable luck. For Renlongba Glacier, the probability of seeing blue ice from October of each year to February of the following year is greater than other months. 3⃣️How to go to Renlongba Glacier? If you want to see the blue ice, the first step is to enter the glacier. This glacier is suitable for self-driving or chartering. There are two situations for entering Renlongba Glacier: ——If you are a car, urban off-road, don't hesitate, park the car at the gate of the scenic spot, and then take the villagers' bread or pickup to go. Because there are dirt roads similar to tractor roads along the way, and there are water-crossing sections, the overall road conditions are poor. The total charge is 70 yuan/person, which is equivalent to a 50 yuan ticket + 20 yuan round-trip transportation. When you get close to the glacier, you don't have to worry about the return time, because there are cars waiting for tourists at any time. This road is about three kilometers long. The villagers' cars will only go to Renlongba Glacier on the right. ——If you are a four-wheel drive off-road vehicle, the driver's skills are good, you can drive in by yourself. The charge is 50 yuan, but in addition to Renlongba Glacier, you can also drive to the glacier on the left. It is equivalent to buy one get one free for the glacier. The end of the dirt road is not at the foot of the glacier. Next, you have to ride a horse or walk for a kilometer to get there. The cost of horse riding is 150 yuan/person round trip, and the horse lead will not urge tourists. But in fact, if you are accustomed to the altitude of about 4000 meters, you can also walk there, the road is relatively easy to walk. 4⃣️How to play Renlongba Glacier? Little friends may all want to walk on the blue ice, but our suggestion is not to go on the glacier, and it's okay to look at it up close. One is to protect the glacier as much as possible, and the other is to slowly watch the panorama of the glacier. The distant view can also express the wonderfulness of the glacier. When shooting from a distance, the camera lens can also include the beauty of every corner of the glacier. 5⃣️Practical tips for self-driving tours 📱Navigation: Set 'Renlongba Glacier' or 'Rinlungba Glacier'. ⛽Refueling: It is recommended to refuel in Ranwu Town before setting off. 🅿️ Parking: There is a parking lot next to the gate of the scenic spot, and parking is free. ⏳Time: It is recommended to arrange half a day to explore Renlongba Glacier. ▶️The above content is summarized based on personal travel experience, please forgive me if there are any omissions. ▶️Affected by time, some scenes may change, based on the current situation. ▶️The address location information is provided by the website, if you need more detailed information, please leave a message. ▶️All the scenic spots traveled by Cai Cai Juaner and Mr. Dog can be reached by car. 🔸🔹🔸 If you like self-driving tours and don't take the usual path, please listen to Cai Cai Juaner's narration.

🏔️ In winter, if you come to Tibet, being able to observe glaciers up close is undoubtedly the highlight of the journey. Not far from Ranwu Lake and Laigu Glacier, I found a secret glacier that very few people know about. · Address: Renlongba Glacier, also known as Rinongba Glacier, can be reached by navigation · 🎫 About tickets: 50/person, you can drive in by yourself, you need to cross snowy roads and rivers, non-hardcore four-wheel drive can take a local car, it's troublesome to get stuck, there's no signal inside, after reaching the drop-off point, you can choose to walk or ride a horse, the difficulty of walking from the drop-off point to the base of the glacier is not great, one way is about 1.5 kilometers, you can also ride a horse (150 round trip). · ⛸️ Glacier trekking: The glacier here can be trekked on, but safety must be ensured. I used a drone to take aerial photos and found countless hidden ice cracks, covered by a thin layer of snow. If you don't bring ice claws or rescue equipment, the consequences of falling in are unimaginable. · 🥇 Best season to visit Every year in January and February, the photo was taken on February 20, it is expected that you can still go on the ice until mid-March, Laigu is not allowed to go up now.

| It really made me cry with its beauty!. Renlongba Glacier, located at the junction of Ranwu Town, Basu County, Changdu City, Tibet and Chayu County, Linzhi City. On the way from Chayu to Ranwu, on the left not long after crossing the Delamu Snow Mountain Pass, there will be a sign saying Renlongba Glacier Entrance. This is an undeveloped glacier, and after going downhill, it is a marshland covered with thin snow. You need to find a path between the meadows and streams. It takes about forty minutes to reach a simple parking area. Here, people offer horse riding services into the glacier. It takes about half an hour to reach the ice lake by horse, and the cost is 150 per person. If you don't want to ride a horse, you can also walk in. It takes about forty minutes. The road is not steep and relatively easy to walk. The altitude of the end of Renlongba Glacier is about 4600 meters, and the ice belt stretches for dozens of miles, which is quite spectacular. ❤️Finally, a knowledge point: Glacier ice is not the ice we usually see in the refrigerator, nor is it the ice formed in rivers and lakes in winter. Glacier ice is very dense, transparent, and smooth. It emits blue light under the sun and will not stick to your fingers when touched.
