What travelers say:

Do you think Hailuogou glacier is dirty? That is it is different from other glaciers! Many people are always disappointed when they first see Hailuogou glacier. I thought it would be crystal clear pure blue ice, but found that there was some dirt on the ice. This is because Hailuogou glacier belongs to marine glaciers. The glaciers are constantly cutting and moving the mountains during the movement and melting process. Especially at the end of the ice tongue, the melting ice water becomes an ice river and the stones and gravel are exposed on the surface of the glacier. So the glaciers seen after the snow melts are like this. If you want to see the pure and crystal glacier, you should hike to the depths of the glacier (very dangerous, the scenic spot is prohibited), or take the cable car to Camp 4, and you can see the whole picture of this largest and second-largest ice waterfall in Asia along the way. Because of the rain, the clouds are too big. Fear that the snowy mountains can't be seen. This time, you should hike the gate hole from Camp No. 3. You can see the end of the ice tongue, and the glacier melts down into an ice river. The vegetation along the way is dense and moss green. The stones on both sides of the ice river are somewhat red, which is an algae called Qiaoli orange algae, which is very demanding for the living environment. Go to a scenic spot, of course you can climb the mountain to play in the water to punch in the scenic spot. But travel is also a good time to learn knowledge and understand the earth. For example, the formation and classification of glaciers, such as the impact of global warming on Hailuogou glaciers, such as the vertical distribution of vegetation in the climate belt, you can feel it visually in Hailuogou.
