Accommodation recommendation in Dagu Glacier Scenic Area

It is recommended to live in Heishui County, about 10 km away from the scenic spot. You can enter the scenic spot early the next morning, and there are few people. But there is no heating in winter, only electric heaters. It's too cold in the room. You won't take a shower.

Heishui county is not big, and there are no hotels with good conditions. All major tourist platforms can book local hotels, and the conditions are similar to those of home. This kind of express hotel, seven days, has air conditioning and electric blanket, and the conditions are OK. If you want to be distinctive, you can stay in the homestay of local collectors. It's cheap and you can eat Tibetan food. It is also a good choice.

Dagu glacier tour guide

Take the sightseeing bus at an altitude of more than 2,000 meters to more than 3,000 meters in the scenic spot. During this period, we will stop at the Golden Monkey Sea, Dagu Lake and other scenic spots. In autumn, the lake is covered with snowy mountains and colorful forests, and there are many monkeys. At the end of sightseeing bus, you can transfer to the cableway and reach the observation deck at 4860m. 10 minute ropeway is also worth experiencing. The red ropeway looks like Switzerland.

The first floor of the small house on the top of the mountain sells hot water, instant noodles and other foods, and there are many seats. The second floor is the tallest coffee shop in the world. It is an unforgettable experience to sit by the window and drink a cup of warm coffee and look at the continuous snow-capped mountains outside the floor-to-ceiling window. Cafe is a sofa stall with few seats, but most of the seats are near the window, which is suitable for taking pictures. It's windy outside and it's so cool to look at the magnificent scenery inside. Don't ask for the taste of coffee, just like adding water.

Matters needing attention on the road of Dagu Glacier

1. Cableway business hours: 10:00- 16:00. It is recommended to go up the mountain early, and the sun will set later in the afternoon. It's very cold at the top of the mountain, so it's not nice to take pictures without sunshine.

2. Sun protection: The ultraviolet rays on the plateau are particularly strong, so don't be careless about sun protection.

3. Sunglasses: The top of the mountain is white, and with strong sunlight, it is easy for eyes to go blind. In addition, sunglasses are concave modeling artifacts, and it is right to hold them.

4. High reaction: the highest peak is more than 4,800 meters above sea level. It is recommended not to eat too much breakfast that day. Drink rhodiola oral liquid after meals. When entering the scenic spot, try to slow down and don't make too much movement. You can eat r

7. Wear: I chose a dark red coat, with a sweater and thin down, and a thick fringed shawl, which is suitable for taking pictures in cafes. I also chose one or two different styles of fur hats to match. If you want to be hard-core, simply wear a mountaineering suit and take a trekking pole, which looks more stylish.
