Drive south along National Highway 216, and you can reach the near side of Glacier No. 1, where there is a light blue and crystal glacier silver waterfall. In front of the ice tongue, a large ice cave with a length of more than 80 meters carved by scientific researchers is like a fairy tale. The Silver Palace of Snow White.
