The Crystal Mangke Glacier

The Crystal Mangke Glacier is located on the northern slope in Laohugou Valley of Mountain Qilian. There are 44 ranges of glaciers. The Crystal Mangke Glacier is one of them. It lasts 10.1km in length, covering an area of 21.9km. It is the nearest one of all glaciers in China to railway, highway and airport and easy for tourists to arrive and climb. The low tip of the glacier is 4,260m above the see level.

After years' effort a simply constructed road is finished, which leads to the foot of the glacier. After having climbed up and reached the glacier, you'll find there are too many unpredictable forms of ice for the eye to take in. Looking into distance, there is a landscape picture composed of grassland, snow-capped mountains and streams.
