Conch Gully

Conch Gully, Sichuan

Silently hidden for millions of years in the mountains and gorges east of Gonggar Mountain in Luding County, the Conch Gully (海螺沟) features cloud-shrouded precipices, snow-capped peaks perching above vast green forests that slope down the mountainsides, a glacier that cuts through the forests like a huge white dragon, and spectacular glacier falls.

Conch Gully is a rare example of the world's low-latitude, low-altitude, modern marine glaciers. It is also the lowest glacier in Asia, with its lowest point being 2,850 m above sea level. Close to the freezing glacier, there are hot springs and hot waterfalls whose temperature is as high as 90 degrees Celsius.
