I hope that everyone's journey can be impressive, accompanied by beauty
Day 6 (October 7) Zaduo - Muta Township - Yanruo Glacier - Gata Township - Ganyan Township - Dingqing
The journey is 350 kilometers throughout the day, and the driving time is nearly 12 hours.
The road conditions are mainly gravel roads, and the road to the glacier after passing through Gata Township begins with the Ichima Ping river.
Zaduo County has a special geographical location, bordering five counties in the Qamdo region and Nagqu region of Tibet to the southwest, and Dingqing, Baqing, Suoxian, Nierong and Amdo counties from east to west.
Outdoor enthusiasts refer to this line from Miscellaneous to Dingqing as the eighth line into Tibet (the Qinghai-Tibet Line, the Tang Dynasty Ancient Road, the Sichuan-Tibet South Line 318, the Sichuan-Tibet North Line 317, the Yunnan-Tibet Line 214, the Prochacha and Xinzang Lines total seven). And I was also the eighth time to enter Tibet, very pandering.
I am a person with a very poor sense of direction, the day before I went to the source of the Yangtze River to see the road signs Ado Township, Chadan Township, I thought it was going here, go back to see the map should be the direction of Jieduo Township. After the departure on the same day, I saw the road signs of Ado Township and Chadan Township, and I felt that it was not quite right, and the direction of Chadan Township was to Nierong County in Tibet. It wasn't until we saw this four-dimensional map that we were sure that we were going in the direction of Jieduo Township in Zaduo County, and the river that accompanied us was called the Jiqu River.
▼ Depart early in the morning and head southwest in a direction. Looking at the distance, the peaks are undulating, everything is silent, and I feel even more small and thin. The Tanggula Mountain in the distance makes people feel heroic and heroic.
▼ Misleading my signposts, Addo Township.
▼ On the plateau, autumn is high and refreshing, reminiscent of Liu Che's "Autumn Wind Words" in the Han Dynasty, "The autumn wind rises and the white clouds fly, and the grass and trees fall yellow and the geese return to the south." The Jiqu River that accompanies us is crystal clear.
▼ From time to time, you will see the Mani Pile, prayer flags, and white pagodas along the Jiqu River.
▼ Wilderness Pastoral, can't help but want to sing a song "Beautiful Grassland My Home".
Not long after we crossed Jieduo Township, we turned right and headed in the direction of Ding Qing. It is also over one mountain after another, the lowest altitude is more than 4,000 meters, but the mountain looks so gentle, there is a very gentle mountain pass in the Jiqu River, it is easy to climb over the snowy mountain. This section is an extension of The Tanggula Mountain, and he is told to recite mt. Ong. Crossing the yakou into the Tibetan territory, the river was also renamed the Muqu River.
▼ The stones on the mountains on both sides of the Muqu River grow very imposingly, layered and rugged, with strange shapes, some like stalagmites straight into the sky, some like a huge landscape painting, and some like pyramids crowded together, which makes people marvel.
▼ I went to find a place to go to the toilet, and when I looked up, I found a group of rock sheep on the slope of the hillside on the other side of the river.
▼ At an altitude of 4500 meters, we are in this beautiful big bend road meal, self-heating rice waiting. Is it not to feel very romantic, the view, the road meal, the self-heating meal, it is better to have a cup of coffee.
▼ After entering the Tibetan territory, the first place is Muta Village in Muta Township, Dingqing County. Along the way, the sun is just right, the autumn is thick, the water is clear and the grass is strong, the sheep is fat and the cattle are strong, the leisurely stroll, the new village is dazzling, there is a feeling of "the lonely smoke under the mountain is far away, and the plateau is a single tree in the sky".
▼In the direction of Mount Bugassee. On both occasions, I found that the small temple on the side of the road was beautiful, but I didn't have time to stop and look at it, so I didn't know anything about it.
▼Enter the direction of the Ryokan Glacier.
The Blazing Glacier is located in Gata Township, 180 kilometers away from the county seat of Dingqing, at an altitude of 6328 meters.
According to the "Catalogue of China Glaciers", there are several data: there are 124 glaciers in the Bujiagangri Snow Mountain, and the glacier area is 184.28 square kilometers. The Ryokan Glacier is one of the glaciers in the Snowy Mountains of Bugagonri.
▼ Fluff glacier
On January 12, 2016, the scientific expedition team of China's geographical landscape discovery discovered five fully developed giant hanging glaciers (hanging glaciers are short glaciers developed on high mountains, suspended on the slopes of the slopes, mostly steep slopes, forming angles greater than 50 degrees with the ground) at the junction of Dingqing County, Baqing County and Suo County in the Qamdo Region of Tibet, and the Bugagangri Snow Mountain (abbreviated as Buga Snow Mountain, the most famous Bon sacred mountain in Tibetan areas, and the highest mountain peak in eastern Tibet), becoming the world's densest hanging glacier. One of the longest hanging glaciers extends from the summit of Mount Bugashe to the moraine lake at an altitude of more than 4200 meters, and the hanging glacier drops to a height of more than 2100 meters, which is the boiled glacier. The hydrangea glacier cascades down from the summit of mount Bugashev at 6,328 meters high, forming a suspended glacier body with a slope of about 70 degrees.
▼ Standing on the ground, you can't feel that the glacier is so steep, maybe it is very shocking to look down from above.
In the distance, the snow-capped mountains are majestic, and at the foot of the glacier is a frozen moraine lake, which appears at the end of the glacier, with an area of about 1.3 square kilometers, and on the hard surface of the lake stands a crystal clear iceberg several meters to tens of meters high. These icebergs are large pieces of ice that break at the end of the ice tongue float into the lake as the glacier progresses, and freeze in the lake during the freezing period.
▼ Bon Sacred Mountain Sacred Lake, there are many people who come here to worship, and there are many large and small mani piles and prayer flags along the moraine lake.
▼ When we arrived in this season, we could not see the iceberg, only a pool of clear water. But it does not affect the tranquility that you bring to yourself when you arrive.
▼ Looking back, the blue sky and white clouds, the Mani pile, the hunting prayer flag, a pilgrimage road. The second arrival, I wonder if there will be a third time? It all goes hand in hand.
Leave the Yanruo Glacier, pass through Gata Township and Ganyan Township, and turn to National Highway 317 in Zhimu Township.
▼ Pastoral return.
▼ Look at the glacier from another angle
▼ There are glaciers everywhere, and there are pastures everywhere.
▼ After leaving the glacier and passing through Gongri Village, it has been traveling along the Gaqu River, and the scenery on both sides of the river is colorful, thick and light, and the forest is full of colors and beautiful.
▼ Road encounters a herd of white-lipped deer
▼Warm family pro
▼ National Highway 317 is also along the Gaqu River, and the autumn colors on both sides of the river cannot be closed.
Turn onto National Highway 317 and head straight for your destination, Dingqing County. Arrived at 8:00 PM.
