Legau Glacier is a group of glaciers. Laigu Glacier, adjacent to Ranwu Lake, is the largest and widest glacier known in Tibet. Laigu Glacier comes from Laigu Village, a small village adjacent to the glacier. The Tibetan language of Laigu Village means a hidden and idyllic village.
Laigu Glacier consists of Meixi Glacier, Yalong River Glacier, Ruojiao Glacier, Dongga Glacier, Xiong Jia Glacier and Niuma Glacier. Among these glaciers, Yalong Glacier is the most spectacular.
The Natural Landscape of Laigu Glacier
From Ranwu Town to the ancient village, we have been walking along the Ranwu Lake, which is known as the "West Heaven Yaochi". The bushes on both sides of the lake are superimposed with white clouds and blue sky, which are reflected in the lake into a colorful picture.
Many glaciers around Laigu Village formed many glacial lakes in front of the village. Because of the different geology and soil composition of different glaciers, each glacial lake will reflect different colors. There is a glacial lake with large and small icebergs floating, which really looks like the South Pole. Between the end of the glacier and the ice lake, the broken glacier reveals a layer of blue ice more than ten meters high.
