Renlongba Glacier
仁龙巴冰川
A roadside glacier on the route from Ranwu toward Chayu, where the glacier tongue lies close to the road. It is a free glacier viewpoint on the Bingzhongcha route.
Renlongba Glacier is about 40 km south of Ranwu Town in Bayi County, beside the road to Chayu. The end of the glacier tongue sits at about 4,500 m, with towering snow peaks behind it. The glacier is very close to the road, so you can stop and walk over to look at it. Few people come, and it has not been commercially developed. It suits self-drive travelers on the Bingzhongcha or Ranwu–Chayu route who want to stop along the way. Road conditions are average and there are no supplies along the route. Watch for altitude sickness, keep warm, and beware of falling rocks in the rainy season.
