Spending Christmas on the Dagu Glacier is a unique way to celebrate — a white holiday in the world of ice, with the snow peaks of Sichuan as the backdrop. Here's the story.
For a true white Christmas, few places beat the Dagu Glacier — the high mountains of Sichuan, deep in snow, with the glacier's ice glowing in the winter light.
The winter journey to the glacier is an adventure in itself — mountain roads, high passes, and the arrival at a frozen world unlike the holiday season at home.
Travelers celebrate with warm meals, the glow of the snow, and the special atmosphere of the high mountains — a Christmas to remember.
Winter transforms the region — frozen lakes, snow-laden forests, and the clearest skies of the year. The glacier is at its most magnificent.
Winter at altitude demands care — extreme cold and the challenges of the high roads. Travel with a guide and proper clothing.
Check road conditions before the trip — winter can close the passes. Pack for extreme cold. For a different kind of holiday, the Dagu Glacier is unforgettable.
