Dagu Lake

达古湖

A high-altitude lake in the middle section of the Dagu Glacier scenic area, with autumn foliage and snowy peaks reflected in its water. It is a main stop on the sightseeing shuttle.

Dagu Lake lies along the scenic shuttle route at an altitude of about 3,600 meters. Fed by meltwater from snow and ice, it is surrounded by spruce, fir and birch forest. Reflections are most striking when the autumn foliage turns, and in winter the lake freezes and the surroundings are covered with snow. The shuttle stops at the lake, and you can walk a stretch of boardwalk before boarding. The same route includes Golden Monkey Lake, Zena Lake, Lovers' Beach and other lakes and sights. Sichuan snub-nosed monkeys and Tibetan macaques are often seen along the way, so do not feed them. Included in the Dagu Glacier admission and shuttle ticket.
