Around the glacier area, there are dense
and well preserved coniferous
and latifoilate forests and even humid evergreen latifoliate forests
that represent the geographic diversity in the xerothermic arroyos of
Lancang River (Mekong River). According to researches, Mingyong Glacier
is the one with smallest altitude in the North Hemisphere as well as one
of the glaciers with lowest latitude in the world.
