What do you know about the six most beautiful glaciers in China?
Rongbu Glacier has the physical properties of a subcontinent glacier. Due to the blocking effect of the Himalayas, the southwest monsoon airflow is blocked from going northward, resulting in drought and lack of rain on the northern slope and the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. Glaciers accumulate less, melt less, and advance and retreat less, which is more stable than the marine glaciers on the southern slope of the Himalayas and suitable for mountaineering tourism.
The flannel glacier is large in scale. On the vast surface of ice and snow, the most striking thing is the ice tower, followed by moraine mountains, winding glaciers and mirror-like ice lakes.
Venue: Bugou, Xia Rong, south of Basong Township, Dingri County, Shigatse, Xizang Autonomous Region. Tickets are needed for Everest Base Camp, and there is no separate charge for Rongbugou Glacier.

The most spectacular scenery in Tomur Peak area is the Khan Tengger Glacier. Among more than 800 glaciers in Tomur Peak, the Khan Tengger Glacier is the longest and one of the eight gorge glaciers in the world.
The length of glacier is second only to that of Insugeti glacier, reaching 4 1.5km, of which the ice thickness of 18.4km is 10? This glacier is covered by 40 cm thick moraine, so it is named Tomur Glacier. Glacial lakes on the vast glaciers and various ice stalactites are really spectacular.
Location: Wensu County, Aksu Prefecture, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, near the border between China and Kyrgyzstan.

traffic
Starting from Dunhuang: take the shuttle bus from Dunhuang to Dangcheng Bay, the county seat of Subei Mongolian Autonomous County, 98 kilometers away. 4 shifts a day, at a cost of 10 yuan/person. It is difficult to rent a car from Subei County to Laohugou Glacier, mainly because it is too difficult to walk all the way, it takes a lot of cars and it is not safe to go by bike. If it costs 800- 1000 yuan to charter an ordinary Santana from Dunhuang, you need to leave early, go to the glacier first, and visit Yulin Cave on the way back.
From Jiayuguan: the straight-line distance from Jiayuguan to Laohugou Glacier is 190km, and the simple highway leads to Changma Township, Yumen City, but it is extremely difficult to rent a car locally. From Changma Township to Laohugou, you need to cross Heigang, and there is basically no formed road all the way. Driving mainly depends on the driver's skill.
