–The Qiyi Glacier is the glacier closest to the urban area in Asia, with an altitude of about 4,600m. The glacier has a huge water storage capacity, and there is snow on the top of the mountain all year round.
–The glacier is easily accessible, and regular tourists can come here to get up close and personal with the glacier. Driving up the mountain in summer, you can watch the climate and scenery changes of “four seasons in one day”.
–The glacier is not highly developed and its facilities are relatively backward. Due to the high altitude, it is recommended that everyone walk slowly, especially the hundreds of steps at the entrance, and then slowly move forward after getting used to it.
–Be sure to listen clearly to the return time arranged by the driver, and try to return a little earlier regardless of whether you have reached the summit or not. If you miss the return time, you can only wait for the bus the next day.

transportation
The Qiyi Glacier is located in the hinterland of the Qilian Mountains, 116 kilometers southwest of Jiayuguan City. You can choose to charter a car or drive yourself, or you can take a train and then transfer to a scenic sightseeing car to go directly to the scenic spot.
Chartering a car: Chartering a car is not recommended. The distance from Jiayuguan to Qiyi Glacier is about 130 kilometers, but it is basically a mountain road with poor road conditions, so the one-way trip takes about 3 hours, and the one-day round trip price is about 550 yuan/car. In addition, the road is slippery and we encounter several cars flipping into ditches every year.
Train: Take train 7529 (Jiayuguan-Jingtieshan) starting from Jiayuguan Railway Station in Jiayuguan City (6:35), stopping at Greening Station (7:00), and arriving at Jingtieshan Station at 9:00 about. After getting off the bus, there is a white Jinbei van in the parking lot of the station. It is a glacier pick-up vehicle. The vehicle has a scenic spot logo. It is 25 kilometers from Jingtieshan Railway Station to the scenic spot. The round-trip fare + ticket is 290 yuan/person. The scenic spot sightseeing bus phone number is: 18993788291. 13993788281. The scenic area bus arrives at the glacier gate at about 11:00 and must return to the foot of the mountain before 15:00 in the afternoon, otherwise the pick-up vehicle will leave. Self-guided travelers in peak season should contact the scenic area pick-up vehicle in advance. Take train 9530 (17:04-19:35) back to Jiayuguan that day (get off at Greening Station).
Self-driving: Starting from Jiayuguan City, drive 9 kilometers southwest at 102 kilometers of National Highway 215. However, this road is basically a small gravel road. If it is a small car, the chassis is in danger of being scratched at any time.
