A group of tourists from Chengdu enjoy the glacier scenery at the Lonely Cafe at the top of the ancient glacier 4860 meters above sea level on July 10. At the top of the Dagu Glacier lies the highest coffee shop in the world, which is also jokingly called "the loneliest coffee shop in the world" by netizens.

The cafe was built in June last year and put into use in October of the same year, with all construction materials transported through the cable car ropeway. The coffee shop is located on the second floor of the ropeway center at the top of the iceberg, with a wide view of glass windows and a panoramic view of the snow-capped mountains.

[abstract] take the Dagu iceberg ropeway, which is the highest in the world, all the way through the quiet primeval forest, the vast alpine rhododendron forest and the sea of clouds to reach the top of the ancient glacier at an altitude of 4860 meters. Standing on the top of the glacier, looking into the distance, the snow-capped mountains undulate on the foggy sea of the supporting sky, which is spectacular and arrogant. The writer Alai once called it "the nearest distance".

At the top of the iceberg of the millennium, surrounded by snow and mountains, what would it be like to taste a cup of fragrant coffee in such a holy place?
