Last Updated: 2026/08/03, Speaking of loneliness, is there such a picture in my mind: the sun sets, the moon rises slowly, the sunset glows red the sky, the city's high-rise buildings gradually turn off the lights, the street lights are flashing, and you, wearing headphones, are shuttling through the dense flow of people. This is what most dry rice bachelors experience after work every day, alone in the crowd. And have you ever thought about staying away from people?

Speaking of loneliness, is there such a picture in my mind: the sun sets, the moon rises slowly, the sunset glows red the sky, the city's high-rise buildings gradually turn off the lights, the street lights are flashing, and you, wearing headphones, are shuttling through the dense flow of people.

This is what most dry rice bachelors experience after work every day, alone in the crowd. And have you ever thought about staying away from the loneliness of the crowd?

A coffee shop on the Dagu Glacier in Heishui County, Aba Prefecture, Sichuan Province, has been hailed by netizens as "the loneliest coffee shop in the world", according to Fuzhou News Network.

At the top of the ancient glacier at an altitude of 4860 meters, surrounded by ice and snow, another gray building stands here, which is the only one here.

Away from the hustle and bustle of the city, close to the most real nature. Without the asphalt and cement brick sidewalks that you can see everywhere, what you can see more is the blue sky and the vast expanse of snow. It is also a good place to purify the soul.

The person in charge of the glacier coffee shop once said that the infrastructure here was not perfect in the past, there was only a simple plank road, and then the cafe was expanded on the basis of the existing ropeway stacks. The original purpose of this cafe is to give tourists a place to rest.

The Dagu Glacier was not discovered until 1992 when it was observed by Japanese scientists by satellite, and in August of the same year, the scientist traveled across the ocean to Heishui Prefecture for a week-long expedition. It was found that Dagu Glacier is the lowest, largest and youngest ice city in the world. And because of the unique geographical location of Dagu Glacier, its meteorological conditions are plateau climate, so the cafe is equipped with oxygen production equipment.

In this inaccessible place, get rid of the noise of the city, order a cup of coffee, sit by the window, quietly looking out of the window, enjoying the loneliness. When other people think that drinking coffee is petty bourgeoisie, we go to the glacier to drink it, making it even more petty bourgeois.

The feeling of being surrounded by 360 °snow is so beautiful. Sitting in the highest place and overlooking the distance is even more intense than standing on the top floor of the tallest building in a big city overlooking the whole city. In this "lonely" place, do not feel lonely, at least there is a connection with nature.

I still remember that many years ago, there was a scale of loneliness, and a person drinking coffee was only at the third level. As a social animal who has entered the workplace, working alone, he has even tried to move, see a doctor and have surgery alone. So is it lonely to drink coffee alone?

When I was a child, I was surrounded by teachers and classmates at school and relatives at home. When I grew up, they were all in the past. I used to disapprove of loneliness, but now I am numb and even feel that it has become the norm. After all, people come alone when they come and go alone when they leave.

Even if friends get together in small groups, there is still a strong sense of loneliness. Then why not just abandon these seemingly nonexistent external things and face the loneliness alone? Maybe when you get used to it, maybe it's not suffering, it's enjoyment.
