After 3 days in Lhasa, our Tibet road trip officially started. Most Tibet attractions are scattered around with long road trip hence throughout our trip, we almost changed accommodation every night.
Every new city we arrived, we are required to visit the police station to make a report hence a reliable tour agency is very important to ensure all is smooth.

Midui Glacier was formed from the convergence of two ice waterfalls. The peak’s height is 6800 m above sea level. It is regarded as 1 of the 6 most beautiful glaciers in China by National Geography magazine.
We were shuttled to the main village after purchasing the entrance ticket. From the village, you can either hike for 40 mins to reach the glacier or pay for horse riding service. We recommend to take the horse ride to the glacier and to walk back.
