In the scorching August heat, if you want to experience the contrast of ice and fire, Dagu Glacier is your top choice

Dagu Glacier is known as the Oriental Alps. This title not only highlights the natural beauty of Dagu Glacier but also emphasizes its unique geographical location. The hiking scenery in summer is truly amazing. This summer, I found a niche hiking route in western Sichuan, where you can hike, enjoy flowers, and see the sea. The cool Logexi Peak of Dagu Glacier is a must-visit if you are planning a self-drive trip to western Sichuan. It is recommended to drive directly to Dagu Glacier, the Little Switzerland of western Sichuan. It takes about 5 hours to drive from Chengdu to the scenic area. Rest for a night, and take the scenic bus to the secret Logexi Valley early the next morning. Along the way, you will encounter emerald lakes, lush forests, snow-capped mountains, and meadows. You might even meet interesting people, sitting together, playing guitars, and singing songs, naturally and casually. It is said that if you are lucky, you might encounter the Tibetan red deer here. When you see the white tower, you have reached Logexi Valley. It is said that locals often come here to pray in front of the sacred white tower. In the summer, the wildflowers on the grassland of Luobi Ranch are in full bloom. We unexpectedly encountered a flower adventure plan here, with the melodious sound of the piano dancing with nature, echoing in the mountains, making people intoxicated. Here, everything is a free poem. Every flower here blooms for you. Pick a bouquet of flowers for yourself, let it accompany you across the mountain peaks, through the forests, and meet the sacred mountain, climbing all the way to the top, having a love affair with nature. The holy Luobi Lake is like a dazzling gem, embedded in the picturesque forest full of highland flowers. Walking along the boardwalk, the rushing streams will accompany you forward. After crossing the original forest at 3.5 km, you will see the Nami Lake and waterfall. At the viewing platform, you can admire the Logexi Sacred Mountain up close. The lush forest, Namu Lake like a smoky mirror reflecting the Logexi Sacred Mountain, forests, meadows, snow-capped mountains, and Jiangzhou City, a scenery that even Picasso couldn't paint. The Logexi Valley hiking loop is a total of 7 km, very suitable for leisure hiking, even beginners can easily complete it. You can stay at the Gar Manor, a 20-minute drive from Dagu Glacier. The small western-style buildings surrounded by mountains make you feel like you are living in the scenery. The stay experience is very good. Set off now, in the name of escaping the city, for a date with the sea of flowers and the wild mountains. Here is a guide, remember to like and save!
