The Midui Glacier, located in Yupu Town, Bomi County, Nyingchi City, Xizang, is a typical marine surging glacier formed by the convergence of two 800-meter-high icefalls. The glacier surface features black-and-white alternating glacial arches, and its terminus extends downward into a mixed forest of coniferous and broad-leaved trees at an altitude of over 3,800 meters, blending with forests and villages to create a serene and picturesque rural landscape.
