Dagu Glacier

"The nearest distance" is the affectionate confession of renowned writer Alai to this place; "crossing high mountains and valleys without climbing, standing amidst snow-covered forests without braving snow, and towering atop mountain peaks without ascending" is its moving portrayal. The story from the movie "The Captain" seems to have flown overhead here, showcasing the image of a composed and resolute group of heroes; "The Red Chieftain" fought here, composing a magnificent picture of ethnic unity. It is reported that Dagu Glacier plays a pivotal role in the cultural tourism industry development of Aba Prefecture and even Sichuan Province, actively promoting the construction of the northwest Sichuan ecological demonstration zone. Located in the northwest of Sichuan Province, the heartland of Aba Prefecture, and within Heishui County, this attraction boasts abundant natural resources and a rich cultural atmosphere, with vast development potential and market prospects. It features the northernmost monsoon maritime modern mountain glaciers on the eastern edge of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau in China, integrating glacier snow mountains, colorful forests, red rocks, lakes, meadows, and rare wildlife. The profound red culture and vibrant ethnic customs coexist harmoniously here, with fresh air, fragrant land, clear water, and ample oxygen, creating a pristine paradise. Crowned with honors such as National Geopark, Provincial Nature Reserve, and Ecotourism Demonstration Zone, it is an ideal destination for snow experiences, sightseeing, leisure, wellness retreats, summer escapes, and scientific research. As another meticulously developed premium tourist attraction following Jiuzhaigou, Huanglong, and Siguniang Mountain, Dagu Glacier shines as a dazzling pearl on the Great Jiuzhai Loop and the Tibetan-Qiang Cultural Corridor. It holds four major brands among Aba's nine tourism highlights: "Grand Glacier, Grand Snow Mountain, Grand Colorful Forest, and Grand Long March," serving as a cornerstone for Aba's all-for-one tourism development and a pillar for the rise of central Aba's tourism industry. In the winter of 2019, this "winter snow paradise" gained immense popularity and quickly became one of the province's fastest-growing tourist destinations. Seizing the opportunity, the area expanded its "four-season glacier" concept—spring flower viewing with snow play, summer ice appreciation with snow activities, fall foliage with colorful forests, and winter snow paradise—making it more vibrant. It also enhanced eco-tourism, wellness travel, leisure vacations, and special adventure experiences. Extending the 10-month snow tourism season, the 4860 Glacier Coffee cultural tourism series, and ten viral photo spots further boosted the attraction's youthful, trendy, and high-quality appeal. From endless green fields to vibrant blooms and then to a winter wonderland, Dagu is a place where you can play with snow in summer, a cool retreat with temperatures around 20°C, and a natural oxygen bar with negative oxygen ions reaching 8,360 P. You can stroll through romantic spring snow, escape the summer heat in refreshing coolness, admire stunning fall foliage, or sip steaming coffee atop snow-capped peaks in winter while reflecting on life's beauty. "All-season snow, endless experiences" will dazzle you with boundless scenery and delightful moments, leaving you enchanted and reluctant to leave.

The view of this place is breathtaking. We went early in the morning around 7:20 planning to wait in line till they open at 8 supposedly , however we got on the bus at 7:30 and went inside the park. It was a pleasant surprise. The rides in the park were very convenient to get on and off. The trails were clearly marked so there was no confusion. Overall it was a great experience and great place to visit.

Must visit when you go to Chengdu. It’s 100/10 with breathtaking view. The camera couldn’t capture its beauty and you have to see it with your own eyes. There’s a bus to pick up from the spot to one another which is very convenient and the process is friendly for non-Chinese speaker, you just show the QR code and that’s it.

Visiting Mt. Siguniang was a great experience! Entry was super smooth using just our passports, with no need to exchange for a paper ticket. We took the sightseeing bus to visit all the highlight spots. Don't miss the rubber raft ride along the river—it costs an extra 90 RMB paid at the park, but the breathtaking views made it totally worth every penny

A fantastic experience! Few people, lots of cats, a great environment, and the cats were so close you could see them clearly. 🐼 Truly a national treasure, incredibly cute and soothing. The only downside is that I hope the surrounding area can be made even more appealing.

🏔️ Breathtaking & 100% Worth the Trip!The journey takes a 60-min bus ride and a 15-min cable car, but the summit views are spectacularly beautiful! The best part is it requires very little walking, and every angle is perfect for photos.⚠️ Pro Tips:1. Move SLOWLY: Do not run! The high altitude will tire you out quickly.2. Must-bring items: Oxygen canisters, heat packs, and anti-slip shoe spikes.Highly recommend seeing this winter wonderland with your own eyes!

Online ticketing is very convenient for the attractions along the Sichuan-Gannan Grand Loop! After taking the escalator up to the mountaintop for the view, I recommend walking down the wooden boardwalk for the rest of the journey. However, the parking lot for the escalator is quite far from the entrance! There's no shuttle bus either! Ultimately, we had to split up: one person went down the stairs to get the car, and the other walked down the boardwalk. The experience was just so-so!

The scenery is truly beautiful. The weather was great the day I went, so the scenery was absolutely gorgeous. The lake, the flower-filled lake, and the ecological environment are simply amazing. There's a commercial street right outside with all sorts of food options, which is very convenient.

The scenic area is vast and beautiful, with unique mountains and rocks creating a stunning landscape. Climbing to the top offers a panoramic view of the surrounding mountains, a truly magnificent sight. It's definitely worth a visit. The only drawback is the unreasonable crowd control system within the scenic area, resulting in excessively long waiting times.
