Rawu Town
然乌镇
A Sichuan–Tibet Highway town at the northern end of Lake Ranwu, serving as the base for stays and supplies for the Laigu and Midui glaciers.
Ranwu Town sits at the northern tip of Lake Ranwu, where National Highway 318 meets the Ranwu–Chayu Highway, at an elevation of about 3,900 meters. The town has guesthouses, restaurants, a gas station, and a supermarket. It is the base for visiting Lake Ranwu, the Laigu Glacier, and the Midui Glacier, and for traveling the Bingchacha Line. In the early morning, you can watch the sunrise and the reflection of the snow mountains on the lake just outside town. Accommodation is basic and nights are cold. Those sensitive to altitude sickness may prefer to stay in Bomi. Book rooms in advance during the peak season.
