Zhuxi Glacier (Chinese: 朱西冰川; Tibetan: འབྲུག་གཤིས་གངས་རི, Druk Shig Gangri), is situated in Bomi County, Tibet Autonomous Region.
Characterized by a 1.2 km-wide accumulation zone receiving >3,500 mm annual snowfall, it feeds the Yigong Tsangpo River through three terminal moraine lakes.
[1] Ecologically, Zhuxi sustains rare species like the black-necked crane (Grus nigricollis) and Tibetan argali (Ovis ammon hodgsoni), with 28 endemic alpine plants identified in its foreland.
[2][3] Culturally revered by the Monpa people, the glacier hosts an annual Kora pilgrimage during the Tibetan Water Bird Festival.
Designated a Class-A Protected Glacial Zone in 2022, access requires permits from Tibet's Ecology Department.
