āSisters, Iām willing to call Ranwu Lake the "masterpiece" of National Highway 318!ā
In March 2025, I was fortunate enough to embark on a self-guided trip, flying from Shanghai to Lijiang and traveling along the G318 from Lijiang to Lhasa. At Laigu Glacier in Qamdo, I touched the deep blue, thousand-year-old ice with my own hands. That was also the last year tourists were allowed on the ice; signs of the glacier melting were visible everywhere, and warning fences were set up all around. In 2026, Laigu Glacier was completely closed off, and tourists have been prohibited from stepping on the ice ever since. Many magnificent landscapes are disappearing at a speed visible to the naked eye. We have seen them, and we are witnessing their changes. Respect the snow-capped mountains and glaciers, and pray for Gyirong.š
