When the cold current passes over the 5,000-meter altitude, the Puma Yumco Lake turns into a glassy fantasy world. The ice reflects the snow-capped peaks of the Kulagangri Mountain, the prayer flags on the lakeside dance with the rime corridor, and on sunny days, you can see the migrating black-necked cranes flying over the ice field, and occasionally the Tibetan antelopes jumping and flashing in the blue ice maze. 📅 Ice Lake Three-stage Aesthetic Guide ▫️Early December to early January: Initial ice formation period The lake surface gradually freezes into a "jade puzzle", and the sound of ice cracking echoes like an ancient chime, unlocking floating ice diamonds and bubble ice tunnels ▫️Mid-January to late February: Extreme cold art period -20°C creates "ice crystal totems", and the blue ice can be as thick as 80 cm It is recommended to shoot the starburst on the ice surface at sunrise and wait for the aurora green silk at midnight (requires special weather) ▫️Early March to April: Ice melting symphony period During the thawing period, a kilometer-long ice ridge wall is formed, and the ice push phenomenon creates a "gem beach", which is the best time to capture the rhythm of the ice lake's breathing ✨Tips: Walking on the ice requires a guide｜Bring a polarizer to enhance the blue tone｜Yak wool cloak is both a warm artifact and a photo artifact
