Overview & Highlights of this Trip

Day 1: Bipeng Valley's Frosted Elegance
Step into a Narnia-esque realm where snow-laden pines frame crystal-clear glaciers. Wander trails glittering with diamond-dust snowflakes, photographing the valley's crown jewel – the 4,800m Egret Mountain, its ice-blue crevasses glowing under winter sun. As dusk falls, warm your hands with locally brewed yak butter tea at a Tibetan-style lodge.

Day 2: Dagu Glacier – The "Closest Remoteness"
Ascend via cable car (world's highest at 4,860m) to the Mountain Top Café – sip premium Yunnan coffee while clouds swirl around you like liquid nitrogen. Trek across millennium-old ice fields, tracing sapphire-hued crevasses where ancient air bubbles whisper climate secrets.
