❗️260 kilometers from Chengdu by self-driving, remember to prepare for the journey
❗️The altitude of 4860 summit is very high! Don't exercise vigorously when climbing, pay attention to gradual progress
The circle of friends is asking! It's not the Swiss Alps!
Recently, the circle of friends has been brushed by beautiful glacier photos, sparking a heated discussion! Those netizens who thought it was the Swiss Alps have expressed their surprise that this is our Chinese Dagu Glacier!
Previously, I was fortunate to go to Western Sichuan and finally realized my long-held wish to see the spectacular scenery of the Dagu Glacier.
I remember that day, I walked out of the cable car, as if I had traveled through time and space, and came to a century covered with ice and snow. The surroundings were white, and when I looked up, the blue sky was full of eyes, which made people feel happy. It's like being in a fairy tale world, every frame is as beautiful as a screensaver desktop.
The tour guide for the scenic spot is as follows: First, take the scenic spot bus for about 40 minutes to reach the cable car station,
It is recommended to take the cable car directly to the glacier to avoid the queue. After the tour is over, take the bus to visit the other five scenic spots, such as Dagu Lake (ice lake and snow mountain scenery), Lover's Beach (red stone beach), etc.
The cable car runs for about 15 minutes, it is recommended to set off as early as possible, you need to carpool up the mountain, and you can charter a car down the mountain.
❗Warm reminder: The climate on the glacier is cold, and it is difficult to resist even if you stick to the warm baby. It is recommended that everyone wear more warm clothes, especially pay attention to sun protection. Friends who are afraid of heights should pay attention, sunglasses, oxygen cylinders and other necessary equipment should be prepared.
📷If you want to take photos for souvenir, these positions should not be missed: cable car, continuous snow mountain, log cabin, snow trail, lonely cafe, and drone aerial view.
💰The ticket price is about 310 yuan, including the scenic spot gate ticket, bus and round-trip cable car.
🚗Traffic route: Depart from Chengdu, follow Rongchang Expressway to Wenchuan, turn to the national road to go, the journey takes about 6 hours. Enjoy the scenery of the Heishui River Canyon along the way, and you won't feel bored.
The hot topic of the circle of friends makes us understand and cherish domestic natural resources more. This winter, why not go to Dagu Glacier and feel the charm of the ice and snow kingdom!

Dagu Glacier: Dress for wind protection, enjoy solitude, relish the beauty, a must-visit in a lifetime!
🌬️ The wind is so strong that one must prepare hats🧣scarves, and for wind protection, clothes must also be worn thick. Although there isn't much snowscape❄️, it doesn't affect its beauty.
💰 A package ticket only costs 360 yuan! The ticket includes the entrance fee, cable car, and bus costs, isn't that economical!
The bus going up the mountain will stop at multiple scenic spots, giving you ample time to enjoy the beautiful views📸.
If you encounter snow on the cable car ride, that would be even more perfect!❄️
Once you reach Dagu Glacier, an oxygen canister becomes your essential good! Otherwise, altitude sickness might make you feel very uncomfortable😣
As for me personally, I also recommend bringing some glucose, or you could visit the coffee shop claimed to be the loneliest in the world☕️ to alleviate the symptoms.
When Dagu Glacier is covered with snow, I recommend you come for a visit even more! The glacier, blanketed in white snow, offers breathtaking views that make you want to stay forever.
Come and experience this silver-white world!✨✨

Dagu Glacier
[Dagu Glacier Sichuan Aba, altitude 4860m, 'The Captain of China' shooting location
Dagu Glacier is the lowest altitude, largest area, youngest glacier in the world, and also the glacier closest to the city.
360 includes all tickets
The frozen lake in winter is white as snow, you can walk and take pictures by the lake. Get off the bus here to see the monkeys, next to it is the
As shown in picture 8, the distant snow mountain is the 4900m Logos Sacred Mountain, and the Tibetans will hold some blessing ceremonies here at the stele.
After getting off the cable car, it leads to the indoor snack bar and that 9000-year promise coffee shop.
The exit on the right is a circle of viewing platforms, where you can take pictures with the altitude stele, suitable for a travel photo. The exit on the left is the location of the national flag, without fences, suitable for full-body photos, with a background of snow-capped mountains, which is very spectacular.
By the side of the glacial lake, the lake surface is covered with snow in winter, which is white, and it turns blue when the weather is warmer.
Gloves, scarves, hats, warmers, sunglasses (the sun + a piece of white snow really blinds the eyes), anti-slip shoe covers (very slippery, falling all the way), oxygen bottles (about 30 in the scenic area, 200 inhalations, it is recommended to prepare a bottle for each person, if the altitude sickness is not particularly serious, there is no need to inhale, it only relieves but does not prevent)
Travel Essay: A Magical Encounter with the Dagu Glacier
As dawn broke, I set off promptly at 8:30 in the morning, embarking on my journey to the Dagu Glacier. Upon entering the scenic area, I hurriedly completed the ticket-checking procedures and then quickly walked to the waiting area to board the bus to Jinhou Lake.
The bus was filled with bubbling anticipation as we headed towards Jinhou Lake. At the lake, I encountered the mischievous Tibetan macaques—carefully walking among them, always on guard for their potential 'sleight of hand' on my pockets. Ha-ha, who knows, they might just be the little thieves of the mountains! Watching their clever expressions, I couldn't help but laugh out loud.
After bidding farewell to the monkeys, I took the bus to the next attraction—Dagu Lake. The lake was tranquil, and although the scenery was somewhat plainer compared to Jinhou Lake, it had its own serene beauty. After a brief stay by the lake, I continued on my journey.
The bus slowly made its way along the road, while outside, herds of yaks were leisurely grazing, and occasionally, I could spot the 'little gifts' the yaks left on the grass, which was amusing and frustrating at the same time😂.
Next, I arrived at the cable car station. The cable car slowly ascended, and as the altitude gradually increased, I finally reached the breathtaking height of over 4800 meters. At this altitude, people began to take out their oxygen tanks, as dizziness was inevitable. At the high altitude of the cable car station, the wind was strong and bone-chillingly cold. Fortunately, I had brought sunglasses, otherwise the intense glare from the snow would have been unbearable for my eyes.
In terms of food, the conditions at the mountain top naturally couldn't compare to those at the base. A bowl of instant noodles cost 15 yuan, and even just adding hot water cost 3 yuan. Luckily, I had prepared self-heating meals and dry food in my backpack, making me self-sufficient.
The trip to the Dagu Glacier was undoubtedly challenging, but every inconvenience was outweighed by the breathtaking natural beauty and the simple joys it presented. This is the true charm of traveling.

🎫Ticket + sightseeing car 150
Shuangqiao Valley is a relatively easy valley among the three valleys of Siguniang Mountain. You can take a sightseeing car all the way, so it's not particularly tiring
💘Route:
Day1:
Depart from Chengdu in the morning, visit Bipenggou Scenic Area, and you can stay in Guergou Town at night. You can soak in hot springs in the town. The famous one is Ramada Hot Spring. You can soak in it without staying. Just buy a hot spring ticket
Day2:Depart in the morning to Dagu Glacier Scenic Area. The altitude of Dagu Glacier is relatively high, and the wind on the mountain is relatively strong, so wear scarves, hats and gloves. If you stay in Maoxian at night, the itinerary for the third day will be easier

🌀Recommended way to play:
🚗Self-driving:It is recommended that experienced people self-drive to play. There may be icy roads in winter, and there are more mountain roads in Aba Prefecture. If conditions permit, prepare a skid chain
🚌Group tour:There are many groups to choose from now, big groups are about 600, small groups are about 1300, the difference is in the number of people, most of them are groups that include tickets, accommodation and car fees, suitable for people who want to save trouble and effort to play
🚙Charter a car:The advantage of chartering a car is that you don't have to drive by yourself, and you can play very freely. If you share it with a few friends, the car fee is not expensive, you can book a hotel and buy tickets by yourself
