My friends and I arrived in Hailuogou during a time of thick fog that severely limited visibility, making it impossible to see the glacier cascading from above. If it rains, the path uphill becomes slippery, and the snow has already melted. Hailuogou is home to many ethnic minorities, such as Tibetans and Yi, offering opportunities to learn about their unique culture, customs, and cuisine. Located in the Daxue Mountains of Sichuan Province, China, Hailuogou is renowned for its rich ecosystem. While the glacier isn't clearly visible, it boasts primeval forests with diverse plant life ranging from subtropical to temperate. However, caution is advised regarding the monkeys; they are known for snatching food, so be careful with young children.
