Halong Glacier
哈龙冰川
One of the largest glaciers on the eastern slope of Amnye Machen, with its glacier tongue flowing down from the snowy peaks. It is the main place to see a glacier up close.
Halong Glacier lies on the east side of the main peak of Amnye Machen. Its glacier tongue extends into the valley, where ice towers, crevasses, and moraine ridges are clearly visible. In recent years, it has retreated noticeably, making it a typical site for observing changes in plateau glaciers. From the direction of Xueshan Township, take the gravel road into the valley, then walk a short distance to a viewpoint in front of the glacier tongue. The glacier area has falling ice and crevasses, so never climb on the ice. The altitude is about 4,500 m and the weather changes quickly, so bring warm clothing and it is recommended to go with a local guide.
