A two-day tour around the snow mountains of Chengdu, "Le Duo Man Yin", offering a glimpse of the beautiful scenery of Western Sichuan

The Le Duo Man Yin Snow Mountain, with an altitude of 6112 meters, is one of the vanguards of Gongga, and there is a long glacier extending from Le Duo Man Yin, underneath which is a high-altitude lake, the Ice Lake. The Le Duo Man Yin glacier is a typical valley glacier with strong stability. You can safely walk on it with ice claws. Even if you don't go up the glacier, the scenery of the Ice Lake is also very beautiful, and you can take a great photo here with just a casual shot.
