Lulang-Midui Glacier-Half Ring Rawu Lake-Rawu Lake
This morning, you will stroll through Lunang Town, experiencing the sanctity and tranquility of the "Switzerland of the East." Afterwards, you will drive to Bomi, passing by the Tongmai Bridge along the way. This was originally the most perilous section of National Highway 318 — the Tongmai Natural Barrier — and is well worth a look. (approx. 30 minutes)
Next, you will pass by Armor Mountain. Armor Mountain, originally named Alichori, is also called "Songduobare Holy Mountain" and "Nianbochare Holy Mountain." Legend has it that they are a married couple, and the surrounding snow-capped mountains are all their children. The upper portion near the summit of Armor Mountain is entirely composed of slate rock layers, with long and distinct lines that have weathered into numerous long terraces. Every April and May, after part of the snow on the slate cliffs melts, from a distance the patterns resemble the armor worn by ancient soldiers — hence the name Armor Mountain. (approx. 10 minutes)
In the afternoon, you will visit Midui Glacier. Midui Glacier is the lowest-altitude glacier in the world. The entire glacier is as pure as jade, with beautiful scenery, varied forms, and enchanting postures. It is surrounded by herds of cattle and sheep, rustic Tibetan dwellings, majestic snow-capped mountains, and wild animals such as rock-climbing sheep and monkeys that never leave. (approx. 180 minutes)
After visiting Midui Glacier, you will head to Rawok Lake Scenic Area and take a partial loop around Rawok Lake. Rawok Lake's azure waters and snow-white peaks form a picturesque scene. Depending on the season, the lake water displays various colors, from azure to turquoise. Many rocks and small islands dot the lake, with tree shadows dancing on the surface in spring and thin mist spreading in autumn and winter — the beauty of all four seasons makes you feel as if you have entered a dream. (approx. 60 minutes)
Tip: Due to the long visit time at Midui Glacier and the need for hiking, lunch may be delayed. It is recommended that guests bring some snacks — beef jerky, chocolate, and other high-calorie foods.
