Introduction to scenic spots

The ancient ice cap, also known as the ancient ice cap, is a relic of the Quaternary ice age long covered by glaciers. The formation of the Daocheng ancient ice cap is mainly due to the uplift of the Qinghai Tibet Plateau. Due to the strong uplift of the Qinghai Tibet Plateau and reaching the critical height, the plateau monsoon suddenly changed the atmospheric circulation in the northern hemisphere at one stroke, and the formation of the great ice age. Although the existence of the great ice cover in the Qinghai Tibet Plateau during the Quaternary ice age has been denied by scientists, the possibility of local ice cover formation is not ruled out Daocheng ice cap is the largest and most typical one. Later, with the rise of global temperature and the arrival of interglacial period, the ice sheet gradually melted and glaciers retreated. Many of the ancient glacial remains we see gradually formed in the repeated glacial and interglacial periods.

Topographical features

The abundant geological relics of Haizi mountain are distributed on the original surface of the mountain at an altitude of 4500-4700m. They are rich and complete glacial erosion landforms such as Jiaofeng, gubingdou, U-shaped trough valley, glacial depression and bingdou lake, and complete glacial accumulation landforms such as terminal moraine dike, lateral moraine dike, glacial base moraine, serpentine mound, yangbeishi and glacial boulder. In particular, hundreds of millions of granitic glacial boulders and 1145 ice eroded rock basins (Haizi) covered the whole surface of the mountain, forming an amazing "celestial planet, mountain of thousands of lakes" strange landscape.

Scenery

Natural Reserve

Located in the northern plateau of Daocheng County, it is the largest ancient ice body relic on the Qinghai Tibet Plateau and is famous for its "Daocheng ancient ice cap". The reserve covers an area of 3287 square kilometers, with an average altitude of 4500 meters. The highest point in the area, guoyinrize, is 5020 meters above sea level. There are a total of 1145 lakes in the area, whose scale and density are unique in China. Because the Tibetan people in the high mountain lake are also called Haizi, it is named Haizi mountain.

Mofanggou

Mofanggou is a small gully leading to Haizi mountain, with a total length of 43 km. The grass in the ditch is luxuriant, the stream is murmuring, and the yellow croaker on the plateau shuttles in groups. Marmots, hares, Tibetan snow chickens and other small animals can be seen everywhere in the mountains and grassland.

Xing Yi CuO

Xingyicuo (4420 meters above sea level) is the largest alpine lake in Haizi mountain, which is regarded as a holy lake by Tibetan people. The water of the lake is green, and the fish swim in it; the lake is wide, and a hundred birds inhabit. Looking from afar, the world is vast, the rocks are everywhere, and the natural landscape is magnificent and grand.

Jubchaka hot spring

Rubuchaka hot spring is about 4 kilometers away from the county. The water quality of the hot spring is clear, colorless and tasteless, and the water temperature is above 68 ℃. It has the functions of strengthening the body, dispersing meridians and activating blood circulation, regulating human endocrine, and treating skin diseases. Most Tibetans living near hot springs live a long life.

Sister Lake

Haizishan sister lake is a shining pearl on the Sichuan Tibet line. Haizishan nature reserve, located between Batang and Litang, is the largest ancient glacier relic on the Qinghai Tibet Plateau. With the gradual melting of the ice cap caused by the rising global temperature, the accumulated snowmelt water gathered in the glacial depressions and rock basins, forming lakes. There are more than 1000 "Haizi" large and small on the whole mountain. "Sister Lake" (also known as "glasses Lake") lies quietly on Haizi mountain, like two beautiful girls, so holy. Surrounded by snow capped peaks, she is like two bright pearls, like two tears of snow mountain, sprinkled on the foot of the mountain. This kind of sacred quiet beauty, let you remember all your life.

Sangdui town

The scenery of sangdui town is beautiful. The pastures along the road are wide and flat, and the rivers are gentle as a mirror. In the distance, the mountains are undulating and magnificent. Villages, herdsmen, cattle and sheep scattered among them, quiet and serene. Before 1144 ad, the first Karmapa dusongqinba realized and praised: "I have traveled all over the Tibetan area and come here. The scenery here is beautiful. Bengpu temple was built in 1144 by Karmapa dusongqinba. The temple is picturesque with mountains and rivers. There is a self sculpture of Karmapa dusongqinba in the temple, which is a rare cultural relic. The handwriting and nosebleed rock paintings left by the master are admirable. In the beautiful sangdui River, there are groups of fish. Monks in the temple often touch the back of the fish and feed them with Zanba.

Zhigong Temple

Zhigong temple is one of the "three treasures of Tibet". It was built in 1144 by pamuzhuba. There is a self sculpture with pamuzhuba's own teeth in the temple. The temple has towering ancient trees, elegant environment and fragrant flowers everywhere. Groups of Tibetan eared pheasants can be seen everywhere, as if they were domesticated.

Scientific research facilities

A high altitude cosmic ray observatory is being built nearby.

traffic

On the way from Litang to Daocheng, you will pass by Haizi mountain. If you want to make a special trip, you have to charter a bus, about 300 yuan.

Haizi mountain is different from Yading Nature Reserve. It is undeveloped, so there is no room and board for reception. You can go back and forth on the same day. If you want to visit Haizi mountain, you should find a local guide.

Route to the mountain

The route to Haizi mountain is quite convenient. Starting from Chengdu, cross Erlangshan Tunnel to Kangding in the afternoon, and then rent a car to laoyulin village, 10 kilometers southeast of Kangding, with an altitude of 3150 meters. Take the bus from laoyulin to Moxi for an hour, and then go up to the xuemenkan pass at an altitude of 3948 meters. There is a signal tower as a sign (it is usually called yajiageng, and there is a river running towards Moxi, which is called yajiageng River) The south side of Yakou highway is Gongga main mountain system, and the north side is wuse Haizi mountain small mountain system. There is a simple road, half an hour to reach the mixed Haizi base camp at the foot of tianhaizi mountain. In this way, starting from Chengdu, you can reach the tianhaizi mountain mountaineering camp as soon as it gets dark every day. This unique transportation advantage pushes Tian Haizi mountain to the climbers.

Mountaineering route

Base camp: the base camp of tianhaizishan is located at the end of the simple highway, near the edge of hunhaizi or a little higher Yakou. The camp is a local pasture with flat grassland. There is a river nearby, which is very suitable for camping. The altitude is between 4100-4200 meters.

ABC: starting from the base camp, the river goes up to Yakou and then goes up to the gravel slope to the left. After the gravel slope reaches the top, a ridge can be seen. Along the ridge, two snow mountains can be seen in front. On the right side is tianhaizi mountain, and on the left side is baihaizi mountain. At the end of the ridge, the gravel slope begins to cross and camp near the glacier under tianhaizi mountain, with an altitude of 4700 meters. Because the mountain is broken, the route is hard and the physical consumption is large, the journey is more than 6 hours (you can consider hiring a back husband to help transport materials in old Yulin).

ABC --- C1: from ABC, we can see the avalanche trough between tianhaizi mountain and baihaizi mountain. ABC starts to climb along the C-shaped glacier on the left side of the avalanche trough, which is also a snowdrift trough or ice avalanche trough. When climbing, don't get too close to baihaizi mountain. There are many glaciers on the mountain
