2. Tomur Glacier in Xinjiang
Tomur Glaciers is located in Wensu County, Akesu Region of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous, China. Tomur Peak has a height of 7,435.29 meters above sea level, making it China's largest modern glacier. The Tomur Peak is well known for spectacular and marvelous nature landscape. It was described: the rough topography, steep ridges and peak, arduous and high glaciers and the thousand feet high precipitous crags aloft hanging over the heaven.
Mount Tomur means ''iron mountain'' in Uygur.Tomur's glacier area accounts for a quarter of all the total glacier area in the Tianshan Mountains. Mount Tomur has 510 glaciers. It is not only a region where modern glaciers develop but also one of the regions where traces of ancient glaciers are well preserved. The glacier stretches upwards towards 3,800 meters altitude. In these snow-capped peak surroundings, glaciers wiggled and curved their ways on the snow mountains like flying jade dragons. Under the rays of the sun, ice peaks glistened and glaciers surged.
