Recently, the three volt days are coming to an end, the high temperature is also doing the final sprint, according to the Central Meteorological Observatory, in the future for a period of time in many places in Sichuan will continue to be high temperature situation, the maximum temperature will soar to 36 ° C. At this moment, the Dagu Iceberg, which is only a 4-hour drive from Chengdu, is actually snowing!
"It was so lucky, I was here for the first time to dagu iceberg and I didn't expect to encounter snow as soon as I came." On August 20th, as usual, tourists who came to Dagu Iceberg to escape the summer were taking photos on the 4860 viewing platform, and the sky suddenly began to flutter with goose feathers, and in a short while, the platform and the boardwalk were covered with layers of snow, which was beautiful. A foot can also print deep and shallow footprints, because the arrival of snowflakes makes tourists feel extremely happy, and they hold up mobile phones and cameras to record this surprise moment. You're hot and dry in the heat, and I'm wearing a down jacket at Dagu Iceberg to watch the snow fly, which is definitely a realistic version of the ice and fire double sky.
At present, although the autumn tiger has not faded, the average temperature of the scenic spot is about 20 ° c, which is the best time for summer vacation. Because of the high altitude of the scenic spot, the top of 4860 has a 10-month ice and snow period in a year, which is covered with snow all year round. The high altitude, the cold air entering, and the relatively low temperature meet the snowfall conditions, so in fact, the Snow Drift in August of the Dagu Iceberg is not uncommon.
In addition to the surprises brought by the snowfall, the rock sheep, a national key protected animal, also came down the mountain to join in the fun. On August 20th, the wild animal Rock Sheep suddenly appeared on the ropeway and once again appeared in front of tourists at close range, attracting tourists to watch and take pictures.
Rock sheep, also known as cliff sheep, stone sheep, green sheep, etc., are medium in size and form between wild goats and wild sheep. The sexes have horns, and the male horns are thick like bull horns, but only slightly downward and upward curved. Feeds on grass and various shrub branches and leaves. As long as they have a foot edge in the cliffs, they can climb up, jump up to 2 or 3 meters, and if they jump down from a high place, they can jump more than 10 meters without falling, which is a national second-level key protected wild animal.
Dagu Iceberg Scenic Area is rich in animal and plant resources, and there are 153 species of wild animals in the scenic spot, including Sichuan golden snub-nosed monkey, twisted horned antelope, forest musk, golden eagle, spot-tailed hazel pheasant, green-tailed rainbow pheasant, pheasant and other national first-level key protected wild animals, including 29 species of national second-level key wildlife such as Tibetan chief monkey, jackal, black bear, yellow-throated marten, small-clawed otter, lynx, and water deer. The figures of wild animals such as golden snub-nosed monkeys, rock sheep and antelopes that frequently appear in the scenic spot have become another unique scenery in the Dagu Iceberg Scenic Area.
Dagu Iceberg is only a 4-hour drive from Chengdu, with its superior tourist location and comfortable transportation environment, and in recent years, it has been hailed as the most attractive new beauty and the best holiday tourism destination in Sichuan in the selection of new scenic spots in China. If you also want to escape the heat, reach the ancient iceberg and meet the cute animals!
