...Hours Later, At The Top Of Hailuogou Glacier Park, China

http://www.TravelsWithSheila.com
There are different walking/hiking options once you are finally at the top. You could head uphill past the Gongga Shan worship point, head in the direction of Glaciers 2 and 3, or downhill (then uphill) to Glacier 1 for better viewing. There is also a forest path down to the Hot Springs at Camp #2 which is where we were heading next.

It would have been a more interesting experience to visit in the dry season to take advantage of the hikes. July and August is rainy season and Hailuogou was only included in this itinerary because of proximity. If you've seen glaciers before, don't bother...

I can hardly see glacier. Don't think it's worth going.

@minghan05 Since we hardly saw the glacier either, would have to agree with you but then there are those who are lucky and say, "How spectacular." You win some...you lose some when you travel. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. Best regards, Travels With Sheila

I love all of those beautiful prayer flags. And the fog rolling in made it so enchanting.
