About Dagu Glacier National Park
For thousands of years, Dagu Glacier wasn't known to people until Japanese scientists through satellite found it hiding in mountains in 1992. After a week's investigation, scientists discovered that Dagu Glacier is the lowest, largest and youngest glacier in the world. And it is the nearest glacier from city and the most beautiful scenery in glacier region so far.
"Da Gu" literally means glacier in Tibetan. Dagu Glacier, part of the 632 sq km Sichuan Dagu Natural Reserve in the Heishui County, Aba Tibetan and Qiang Autonomous Prefecture of Sichuan Province, has a sightseeing area of 210 sq km. It is located in a convenient and accessible position, about 280 km from Chengdu.
