A fairyland just 2 hours from Chengdu - Xiling Snow Mountain

A fairyland just 2 hours from Chengdu - Xiling Snow Mountain

🖼️ This isn't Japan, it's Xiling Snow Mountain near Chengdu! This winter, I finally made it to this dreamland ❄️. Getting there is super convenient 🚗. I took a direct bus from Exit C of Jinsha Site Museum subway station. It departs at 7:30 am and costs CNY 35 one way, or even less for a round trip 💰. Driving is also easy, just 2 hours to Parking Lot 1 at Xiling Snow Mountain 🅿️. Once in the scenic area, I had my combo ticket 🎫, which included admission, the cable car, and the shuttle bus. I took the cable car up 🚀, enjoying the beautiful view of Yuanyang Lake 🏞️. Then I transferred to the shuttle bus, which took me to Yingxue Square in 10 minutes. The entrance to the sightseeing cable car was right in front of me 👀. I strolled along the Rhododendron Path, where the rime-covered branches looked like something out of a fairy tale ✨. Yingxue Lake was half-frozen, with the snow-capped mountains reflected in it. The castle-like buildings added a touch of magic 🏰. At the top of the mountain, the Dayuetang Viewing Platform took my breath away. The sea of clouds was stunning 🌄.

✨"The window frames the eternal snow of Xiling, the door anchors boats from Wu as far as the eye can see." This is Xiling Snow Mountain as described by the poet Du Fu. Located about 120 kilometers from Chengdu, it is a two and a half hour drive away. Here, not only can you enjoy the winter snowscape that stretches for miles, but there are also various snow sports to partake in. Walking in the Yingxue Plaza on the mountainside is like stepping into a Swiss winter village~ ✅【Xiling Snow Mountain Travel Guide】 🎈【Cable Car Operating Hours】: 8:30——18:30 ❤️【Order of Visiting the Snow Mountain】 Take the first cable car (transport cable car) from the entrance of the scenic area to reach the mountainside, then take the shuttle bus shown in figure one to reach Yingxue Plaza (snow activities, dining, accommodation); From Yingxue Plaza, take the second cable car (scenic cable car) to reach the summit - Riyueping; There is a hiking trail from Riyueping to the Yin Yang boundary, which takes about an hour, and the scenery along the way is very good. If you are on a day trip, it is highly recommended to go to the summit for sightseeing after arriving at the scenic area, and then go to Yingxue Plaza in the afternoon, because Xiling Snow Mountain generally has sunshine in the morning and noon, and it starts to turn cloudy in the afternoon. There is also a higher chance of encountering a sea of clouds on the summit in the morning. ✅【Tickets】: Scenic area ticket + transport cable car: 💰280 yuan Scenic area ticket + transport cable car + scenic cable car: 💰368 yuan The above are the official prices, but booking in advance is more economical, and it is recommended to compare prices. ✅【Transportation】: Self-driving: Navigate to Xiling Snow Mountain No. 3 parking lot; Bus: There are tourist buses from Chengdu to Xiling Snow Mountain every morning from 7:20—10:00, and buses back to Chengdu starting at 16:30 in the afternoon, tickets can be purchased the day before. ✅【Time Required for Visiting】: One-day trip: Depart from Chengdu at 7:30, it is enough to visit the snow mountain without engaging in snow activities like skiing, and you can return to Chengdu by bus in the afternoon. Two-day trip: If you have plenty of time, you can arrange it freely. ✅【Accommodation】 If you want to watch the sunrise on the mountain top the next morning, you must stay on the mountain for one night (the scenic cable car does not open until 8:30). If you are not watching the sunrise, you can stay at the hot spring hotel near Huashuiwan, soaking in the hot springs at night is very comfortable. ✅【About Skiing and Playing in the Snow】: There is a professional ski area on the mountainside, and ski equipment is available for rent.

The wooden house hotel for photography is next to the Snowflake Hotel, called the Scandina Resort Hotel, you can walk over to take pictures.

Everyone needs to go up the mountain earlier in the afternoon, the cable car will close at four or five in the afternoon) 🍴Restaurant: There are many places to eat at Yingxue Square, and there are many chain brands. We ate at the Shouchai Roast Duck that night, about 100 per person. (We bought a lot of snacks, instant noodles, self-heating pots, water, and carried them up the mountain super heavy, only to find that there are everything for sale on the mountain, and it's not expensive, soda water is 3 yuan, instant noodles are 8 yuan) 📷Photography: The entrance to the wooden house hotel is in, walk inside near the stone sign of Yingxue Hotel. Then walk up all the way, a few steps is a scene, be sure to take pictures. It is recommended that you apply a brighter lipstick, wear exaggerated or funny accessories, and be sure to wear sunglasses. 🧷Remember to get up early in the morning, usually it snows at night, and the sun is the most beautiful at seven or eight o'clock. Today we didn't have the sun after 10:30 in the morning, and the sky turned gray. 💊Medical: There is a medical room on the mountain, but there is no doctor and no medicine. During special periods, everyone must remember to bring enough various medicines.

The 2-hour drive from Chengdu to the dreamy European-style hot spring paradise is within reach

The 2-hour drive from Chengdu to the dreamy European-style hot spring paradise is within reach

Chengdu's winter makes one want to burst into song: I really want to escape, but I can't run away🥶 At this time, we must call upon Chengdu's three winter treasures: the sun, snow, and hot springs♨️ - The sun and snow are at the mercy of Mother Nature🔥 I've almost tried all the hot springs around Sichuan's Chengdu, but my personal favorite has to be the Huashuiwan Hot Springs at Haihui Temple♻️: - This 'Huashuiwan Hot Springs Town'🏰, filled with European style and characterized by red-roofed white buildings, is located in Dayi, a 2-hour drive from downtown Chengdu🚙 The hot springs are known as 'Heavenly Wonder Springs' and are sulfur hot springs, containing more than a dozen trace elements needed by the human body, with temperatures reaching up to 68℃♨️ - Opening hours📍 09:00-23:00, suitable for someone like me who needs both morning and evening dips, and also helps to avoid the early morning rush; Hot spring water quality📍 The water is ancient sea sulfur hot springs. The smell and mineral impurities are authentic Rich variety of pools📍 The outdoor Băilè Soup pools number over 30, secretly scattered amidst the natural undulating landscape; - ♨️Hot spring experience: When I went, there were three larger pools with clear water, and many smaller pools with sulfur water, which had a stronger smell. We chose the clear water. The top pool had flowing water in the afternoon, but it turned stagnant at night. The middle one is hotter, too much for most people, and the most conspicuous pool by the road was crowded, and although it's the most photogenic, we didn't go because it was too crowded. - ♨️Hot spring tips: 1⃣️Off-peak timing: Weekdays are less crowded than weekends, and daytime is less crowded than nighttime. 2⃣️Always bring water when going to hot springs! Especially if it's your first time, we saw a guy who fainted because he didn't drink enough water! Make sure to drink plenty of water while soaking!

Just came down from Xiling Snow Mountain and met the black and white fox bear

Xiling Snow Mountain, located in Chengdu, Sichuan Province, China, attracts countless tourists with its majestic and magnificent natural scenery and rich cultural heritage. Among them, the most commendable is the "window contains Xiling Qianqiu snow" Qianqiu snow scene. On October 20, our colleagues went on a business trip to Xiling Snow Mountain and were fortunate to witness the first snow of Xiling Snow Mountain this year. The first snow of Xiling Snow Mountain always brings people incredible surprise and amazement. Originally, the vegetation on the mountain peak was still lush, but overnight, it was all covered by snow, turning into a vast white. This sudden change, as if to take away all the colors of the mountain peak at once, and put on a pure white dress.
