Midui Glacier in eastern Tibet is the paradise of ice and snow

Listed as "One of Top Six Most Beautiful Show Caves in China" by China National Geography Magazine, Midui Glacier in eastern Tibet is the paradise of ice and snow. Midui Glacier is most famous for its giant ice basin, for its frequent snow avalanches, and for its giant ice cascade as long as 700-800 meters. In the upstream of the glaciers are the arch-shaped ice formations. You can see all the ice lakes, fields and villages there. It's a natural park of glaciers.

The glacier is passes through four distinct regions: snow-capped mountains, forests, lakes and villages and temples coexist in harmony. It looks as if Nature's hand itself had taken up a brush to paint a splashed-ink landscape.
