The 'Closest Faraway' Dagu Glacier

It's the snow-watching season again, and the Dagu Glacier that I've been longing for! It's the closest glacier to the city. The moment you step out of the cable car, it's like stepping into another ice age. What you see is a vast white world, and when you look up, it's a full screen of blue sky. It's like being in a fairy tale world, every photo taken is like from a professional photography phone desktop. 📍Dagu Glacier➡️ Aba, Sichuan, altitude 4860m, 4A The world's highest cable car (altitude 4860 meters) China's 'Little Switzerland' in western Sichuan 🎬The filming location of the movie 'The Captain' The world's lowest altitude, youngest glacier The world's highest altitude coffee shop (known as 'the loneliest coffee shop') 🎫Tickets: About 310 yuan on travel websites (including entrance tickets, shuttle bus and round-trip cable car) 🚗Transportation: Drive from Chengdu via Rongchang Expressway to Wenchuan, turn to the national road, about 6h drive, drive along the Heishui River, the scenery of the canyon along the way, not too boring. 🌈Scenic area tour guide: ↗️Take the scenic area shuttle bus for about 40 minutes to the cable car station, it is recommended to take the cable car directly to the glacier to play, to avoid queuing. ↗️Take the shuttle bus to visit the previous 5 attractions on the way back, recommend Dagu Lake (ice lake and snow mountain scenery), Lover's Beach (red stone beach). ↗️The cable car runs for about 15 minutes, it is recommended to arrive as early as possible, usually need to carpool to go up the mountain, if you want to charter a cable car, you can come down earlier. 📷Good shooting locations 📍Cable car and the snow-capped mountains behind 📍Log cabin 📍Snowy plank road 📍Lonely coffee shop 📍Drone aerial view ✅Must bring equipment: Windproof hat➕scarf🧣➕sunglasses🕶️➕snow boots➕gloves🧤➕down jacket➕warm baby➕thermos cup Dagu Glacier is really super cold, the wind is very strong, you must wear thicker, you must wear a hat, otherwise you will be cold to doubt life. ⚠️Precautions for playing After entering the Dagu Glacier Scenic Area, you will take a bus to the cable car (about 1 hour), then take the cable car🚡(15 minutes, the world's highest altitude cable car) directly to the glacier. Because the glacier is at 4860 meters, it is easy to have altitude sickness, you can start taking Rhodiola a week before the trip, and definitely do not go with a cold! Walk slowly on the glacier, do not run, do not get too excited. If you have hypoxia in the middle, please do not be strong, immediately enter the room, there is a coffee shop with oxygen and hot water. The coffee shop only has drinks, hot water and some simple meals, it is best to bring some dry food. ⚠️Prevention of altitude sickness⚠️ ❌Do not walk fast, do not run, do not do physical labor. ❌Do not overeat or drink, to avoid overburdening the digestive organs. ❌Do not drink alcohol or smoke, eat more vegetables and fruits and other vitamin-rich foods. ⭕️Drink water in moderation, pay attention to keeping warm. ❌Take fewer baths to avoid catching a cold and consuming physical strength.
