A piece of green in the vast white snow, especially attracts attention

The bird's nest shape is so special, the snow peak blue sky background is so 'luxury'

At 4860 altitude, the ropeway is directly accessible. Completely covered with ice and snow. The whole journey includes shuttle buses and ropeways. Be sure to bring your own ice claws. The snow is thick and can not pass the knee. In winter, the mountain is cloudy, otherwise the scenery is better. The ropeway is stable.

A lifetime of people must come to the Great Ancient Glacier. Every winter, they will take a trip about "snow". "No one will step on the fog and like the wind, and the scenery must go to see it for yourself". The snow-capped mountains are covered with thick snow. The momentum is magnificent. The peaks are scattered and silvery under the sun. Although The temperature on the top of the mountain is only minus ten degrees, but when you get off the cable car, the breathing room is full of refreshing snow, so that the unforgettable scene has long forgotten the discomfort caused by the low temperature.
We went in the morning, there was a special bus to take us to the mountain, and then take the cable car, but after going up, a foggy, can not see clearly. But it is good to go to the cafe on the top of the mountain to have a cup of coffee and experience the snow. For me, who lives by the sea, 4860 meters, there is a high reaction, and you must bring an oxygen cylinder.
Dagu Glacier is the place where "China Captain" was shot. It is the youngest glacier in the world. It has the highest cableway in the world, 4860 meters above sea level. I finally realized the dream trip to West Sichuan. Although it is a bit high, we have a great time and will be unforgettable!
The cableway station is3552.7 meters above sea level, and the upper station is4815.8 meters above sea level. It is best to prepare a small oxygen tank for yourself. Wear good non-slip shoes, gloves, and hats with ear protection. Prepare for courage, climb the summit and enjoy the unusual and unseen beauty.
Only when Dagu Glacier comes to the scene will you feel the shock that you can't express in words. But the altitude of 4860 meters is a test of altitude sickness for everyone who goes up. Give people who want to go up a reminder that you must bring more clothes, it is really too cold. Bring hot water, preferably hot drinks with sugar, which is too good for slowing altitude sickness.
