Extended data:

For thousands of years, dagu glacier has been like a girl living in a quiet pavilion. It was not known to the world until 1992. Japanese scientists discovered it hidden in the deep mountains by satellite, and in August of the same year, they crossed the ocean to Heishui for a week's investigation. It is found that it is the lowest, largest and youngest glacier in the world and the closest glacier to the city.

"Dagu" is a transliteration of Tibetan language, which means beautiful deep ditch, because it combines geological features such as glaciers, snow-capped mountains, colorful forests, alpine lakes, forests and ancient glaciers. The top of Dagu Snow Mountain is covered with snow all year round, with magnificent momentum and beautiful peaks.

The ropeway of Dagu Glacier was rated as "the tallest passenger ropeway in China" by Guinness World Headquarters. Take the world's highest passenger ropeway to the iceberg. Clouds, ice lakes and towering peaks pass by, and the whole mountain changes from a golden pine forest to a white iceberg.

When you get out of the ropeway, it is 4860 meters above sea level. Dagu Xuefeng at an altitude of more than 5,200 meters has thick snow, and glaciers are under the snow. Glaciers only appear when the snow melts in July and August every year.
