Glacier landscape of Qiyi Glacier

The "July 1st" glacier tourist area is about 4 square kilometers. Every summer and autumn, the ice peak is particularly dazzling in the blue sky and bright sunshine. Together with the gurgling streams and alpine pastures with green grass and flowers in full bloom, * * * constitutes a charming picture of peace and vitality. Due to the high altitude of glaciers, tourists often encounter cloudy, sunny, rainy and snowy weather when boarding ships. It is an unforgettable experience to experience four seasons in one day. "July 1" Glacier has also been included as "the nearest tourist glacier in Asia" in some teaching materials for tourism majors in colleges and universities.

Qiyi Glacier has a strange landscape, which looks like an upside-down Milky Way from a distance, hanging in vain. Close-up, the glacier tongue tilts, the ice wall stands, the ice curtain hangs, and the ice bucket is deep and mysterious. There is a 5-kilometer pedestrian walkway at the glacier, and there is a monument that "the castle peak is not old, it is a snow-white head". The tourist area is about 4 square kilometers. Traveling in summer and autumn, I saw the glacier tongue melting snow, the water flowing four times, the waterfalls falling and the valleys shaking. Snow chickens inhabit the hillside; Snow lotus and ice crystals compete for beauty; Cattle and sheep are everywhere on the grass slope below the mountain, and the smoke from the herdsmen's tents is curling up, giving people a feeling of vitality.

In any case, this is a world completely different from everything you are familiar with, which is why it attracts countless climbers and tourists every year.
