World natural heritage, giant panda habitat, national scenic spot, national forest park, AAAA-level tourist attraction.
The highest peak in the scenic area, Daxuetang, is about 5,364 meters above sea level and is the highest peak in Chengdu.
Du Fu, a great poet in the Tang Dynasty, praised the beauty of Xiling and wrote "The window contains the eternal snow of Xiling", which is why Xiling Snow Mountain got its name.
In addition to the ski resort, the scenic area also has more than 10 ice and snow recreational projects such as snowmobiles and dog sledding.
Xiling Snow Mountain is divided into the front mountain and the back mountain. Xiling Snow Mountain usually refers to the back mountain. Whether it is scenery or leisure and entertainment, the back mountain is better.

I was lucky when I went there and saw the sea of clouds and snow-capped mountains.
This is the most fun place to play in the snow around Chengdu, no doubt about it! It’s suitable for families to bring their kids to play!
I'll walk through thousands of snowy mountains for you.
Where did it come from?
Why did you come?
What is joy?
Where does the sadness come from?
Winter snow blurs the memory.
I just hope,
If snow comes,
You will definitely come.
Overall it's OK, the children have fun, the consumption is high, excluding food, accommodation and transportation, the average consumption per person is about 500
There were more people going there before, so the cost performance was not high. I couldn't wait for the sightseeing bus down the mountain and walked for more than an hour to get to the bottom of the mountain. My legs were sore the next day.
Transportation: I booked a one-day free travel package on China-TravelNote that included round-trip bus + tickets + transportation cableway.
p.s. This package is particularly worry-free. The itinerary assistant on the bus will also introduce some practical precautions. Moreover, she will not follow you into the scenic spots, there are no shopping spots, and you can travel freely throughout the trip.
Xiling Snow Mountain is a trap!!! It's all a trap, don't come here!
After checking your ticket, take the cable car to the Yuanyangchi Visitor Center. Of course, if you have time, you can also walk up the mountain. After arriving at Yuanyangchi, take the scenic area's free bus 🚌, which takes about 6 or 7 minutes along the winding mountain road to Yingxue Square. If you want to go directly to play, you can get off at the first stop. If you want to go to Riyueping or Shoufeng Villa first like us, then take another stop.
It was the first time for a southern girl to see snow. I was so excited. I also had a lot of fun skiing. It was great, so awesome!!!
December 10th, it snowed, there was a sea of clouds, and the scenery was nice
Autumn Snow in Xiling
The window contains the eternal snow on the Western Hills, and the door is moored with ships from Dongwu.
Who would have thought that there would be a ski resort less than 100 kilometers from Chengdu, a city known for hotpot and hot girls? What's even more unexpected is that the ski resort you can ski on is the Xiling Snow Mountain mentioned in Du Fu's eternal quatrain. Du Fu Thatched Cottage is nothing special, but when you come to Chengdu, you can go skiing in Du Fu's poems. It's so poetic. I really envy Chengdu people. Except for not being able to see the sea, everything else is fun.
Apart from the ski resort, I think the scenery on the mountain is no worse than the rime in Northeast China, but please remember the following seven-word motto.
It's blinding without sunglasses.
The service was great. The ticket was 30 yuan. We took the cable car to the middle of the mountain, and then there was a free bus. Although it was foggy and we couldn't see anything, it was a different feeling in the fog.
At the foot of Xiling Snow Mountain, you can see a little snow on the trees. It is recommended to have a simple meal at the foot of the mountain before going up the mountain. One is to replenish energy, and the other is that things on the mountain are not cheap. There is a food street at the foot of the mountain, and the food is not expensive. There are many tourists going up the mountain. First, you have to queue up to take the cable car, and then you have to queue up to take the bus on the mountain to reach Yingxue Square on the mountain. The whole journey takes about 1.5 hours. Walk up the mountain slowly. There are many recreational projects in Yingxue Square, such as hot air balloon riding, skiing, dog sledding, etc. Yingxue Square is located halfway up the mountain. You have to take a cable car to the top of the mountain, which is also 120 yuan. If the weather is good, you must climb to the top. There is a wonder of the Yin and Yang world on the mountain. It is said that one side is clear and the other side is full of clouds and mist. But it is difficult to encounter such a unique landscape.
After taking the cable car up the mountain, you need to take the free bus in the scenic area to Yingxue Square to experience skiing, snowmobiling, snow saucer, zipline, snowball fights, and enjoy the unique excitement released by southerners when they see snow.
Walking from the visitor center to the cable car station, you will pass by many snack shops. In the shed at the rear right, the most popular items are corn and barbecue.
Friendly reminder: Xiling Snow Mountain is divided into the front mountain and the back mountain. Tourists usually visit the back mountain of Xiling Snow Mountain. Whether it is the landscape or the entertainment facilities, the back mountain is better than the front mountain.
We drove to the tourist center at 10:00 and queued for 2 hours in the biting cold wind before we got on the cable car. When we went down the mountain at 16:00, we had to queue for 30 minutes for the bus and no seats were available. We queued for 1 hour for the cable car and shivered with cold. We specially arranged to take the cable car up the mountain in the afternoon so that we didn't have to queue. We went down the mountain at noon the next day. We queued for 5 minutes for the cable car and didn't queue for the bus. We made full use of the 24 hours and had a great time on the snowy mountain. It should be noted that tourists staying on the mountain must go up the mountain before the cable car closes.
In winter, Xiling Snow Mountain also sells night tickets for 98 yuan per person, which are valid for the same day. You can only enter the scenic area after the specified time. The amusement projects in Yingxue Square usually end at 17:00.
It was the first time I saw snow-capped mountains, surrounded by mist, so beautiful!
Climbing up with a six-month-old belly is amazing. There were many people staring at me along the way.
The kids loved it and also went to Huashui Bay to take a hot spring bath, it was so cozy!
Usually, when tourists visit Xiling Snow Mountain, they are referring to the back mountain, because the highlights of the scenic spots, such as Sun Moon Terrace and Yin Yang Realm, are all concentrated in the back mountain. From the tourist center at the foot of the mountain, you can take the cable car or hike up to the Yuanyangchi Reception Center, and then transfer to the scenic area free bus. It takes about 10 minutes to reach Yingxue Square (you can also walk, about 1 hour). [About clothing] The average temperature of Xiling Snow Mountain in summer is 10℃-25℃, which makes people feel like they have fallen into a "natural refrigerator". So it is certain to escape the heat, but it will still be a little cool, so you must bring an autumn coat. And the weather is a bit unpredictable, so it is best to prepare an umbrella. It is because of the changeable weather that Xiling always brings different surprises. [About food] In Xiling Snow Mountain, you don't have to worry about eating and drinking. There are many farmhouses along the way, and there is also a snack street on it, with everything! Although the price is a little more expensive than outside, it is still good. Notes: 1. Since the temperature at night in Xiling Snow Mountain is lower in summer, the temperature difference between day and night is large, please bring cold-proof clothes. The weather in the mountains is changeable, so please prepare an umbrella and raincoat; and bring floral water and balm to prevent mosquito bites. 2. It is not advisable to wear hard-soled shoes and high-heeled shoes, and non-slip shoes are preferred. 3. Ultraviolet rays are strong, so women and children should pay attention to sun protection, and it is best to wear sunglasses. 4. Since the average altitude of Xiling Snow Mountain is above 2,000 meters and the Riyueping Scenic Area is 3,210 meters above sea level, patients with heart disease, high blood pressure, etc. should bring emergency medicines. 5. Xiling Snow Mountain is a primitive forest scenic area, so please do not go to areas that are not open to tourists. 6. When riding a cable car, please do not shake left and right, do not play around, and do not stick your head or hands out of the window. 7. When playing sports, you must abide by the operating procedures of entertainment facilities to avoid accidents.
I have always had a special feeling for Xiling Snow Mountain, not because of its high altitude and beautiful scenery, but because of its plants!
Every time I walk into this mountain, I am surprised. In areas above 1,800 meters above sea level, I am greeted by a strong primitive atmosphere, with mosses hanging on the trees and covering the ground.
In Xiling Snow Mountain, some plants bloom almost every month, and the same plant will appear in different states in different seasons, so I go to Xiling Snow Mountain for inspection several times a year, and I will gain different things from each trip.
Xiling Snow Mountain is the place I think is the least worthwhile on this trip. Originally, I thought that my companions had never seen snow, and this is the nearest snow attraction to Chengdu. As a result, I chose the wrong place. Due to the time and weather, the snow on the mountain was basically melted at this time, and most of the entertainment projects on the mountain were closed. There was only a little accumulated snow left, and you could still ski.
We found a tour group online, a one-day tour without shopping, which is worry-free and labor-saving. It is troublesome to go by car, so it is not recommended. It happened to be Women's Day, and women were free of tickets, which was a discount of more than 100 yuan. It took 3 hours to drive from Chengdu city to the foot of Xiling Snow Mountain, and then take a half-hour cable car to the scenic area on the mountain, and then take a 15-minute bus on the mountain to reach the destination. At first glance, there is really nothing to do in the scenic area, but there is a little artificial snow, so you can go skiing.
There are two sections of cableways at Xiling Snow Mountain. The first section is the Yuanyangchi cableway, which takes you to the ski resort on the mountain; the second section is the Riyueping cableway, which takes you to the observation deck at the top of the mountain. Don't think you've reached your destination after getting off the second section of the cableway. You still need to climb for about an hour or two to reach the Yin-Yang boundary. It is best to estimate that it will take no less than 3 hours to go from Riyueping to the Yin-Yang boundary and back.
After arriving by Yuanyangchi Cableway, walk straight out and take the bus. It takes about 10-15 minutes to reach Riyueping Cableway, and then take the Riyueping Cableway to the observation deck. The whole journey takes about an hour. Don't worry about altitude sickness. The altitude of Riyueping is only more than 3,000 meters, so there will be basically no reaction unless you are physically unwell.
Key points------Remember to bring food and water, there are no shops on the mountain!
After reaching the observation deck, it’s purely for sightseeing and mountain climbing. Whether it’s beautiful or not, you can experience it for yourself. At least I feel like I’m not in the human world anymore.
The weather in mid-March was already very warm, and the snow had almost melted. We managed to catch the last snow scene on the snow-capped mountains. It was still foggy when we went there in the morning, and as the sun rose higher above the trees it began to "rain" (please bring an umbrella if necessary!). By the time we returned in the afternoon, the snow had almost all melted, and we saw a completely different scene!
Xiling Snow Mountain is located in Dayi County, Chengdu, with a total area of 483 square kilometers. It is an excellent place for mountain climbing and skiing around Chengdu. It has the largest ski resort and large grass skiing field and alpine grassland sports playground around Chengdu. The forest, mountains and primeval forest landscape here are fun all year round. In the summer every year, the vegetation here is lush, and you can experience the fun of grass skiing on the vast grassland, and you can also escape the heat and cool down; and December to March is the ski season here, and it is very exciting to experience skiing, snowmobiling, snow flying saucer, dog sledding and other projects. Xiling Snow Mountain is divided into Dafeishui Scenic Area and Ski Resort Scenic Area. The former is suitable for hiking enthusiasts, and the latter is specially prepared for winter skiing.
March is the off-season. If it weren't for the 38th festival that day and the free admission for women, there might be even fewer tourists. We just took the cable car shuttle bus directly, and it started to drizzle at the foot of the mountain.
On March 9, at around 9:00 am, the sky was clear, and we took the Riyueping cable car to the top of the mountain. The higher we went, the thicker the snow became. When we stepped out of the cable car, we were a little excited to see the snowy scenery. Under the blue sky, the mountains were covered with white snow, which was dazzlingly white. Since we came early, there were only paw prints of small wild animals on the snow, like a layer of white carpet.
Isn't it fun to chat, enjoy the snow and climb the mountain?
There is always snow at the ski resort, and there are many entertainment activities! The most troublesome thing about Xiling Snow Mountain is taking the bus. The shuttle bus is troublesome to transfer and there are only a few trips a day. If you are a tourist from other places, you can choose to charter a car from Chengdu to Xiling Snow Mountain. The price is reasonable and fair for locals! 134 3810 9918
Except for the high cost, everything else is good and we had a great time.
Good place. But please don't join a tour group!! I'll multiply it by 3
Whoever joins the tour group deserves it. Convenient transportation!!! There is a bus for 33 people on the return trip.
Take Line 2 at Chaidianzi Bus Station, park at the door and go directly back to the city.
Others, see pictures
We traveled to Chengdu and Chongqing in late January. We went to Du Fu Thatched Cottage on the first day in Chengdu and took a bus (booked on China-TravelNote) to Xiling Snow Mountain on the second day. It was snowing when we got off the bus. We came on Thursday and stayed at the Snow Hotel for one night. Since it was not a weekend or a holiday, and we were students, the ticket + Yuanyangchi Cableway (round trip) only cost 180. But one thing that was inconvenient was that there were stairs everywhere, which was not very convenient for us to carry our suitcases.
Then it was foggy and hazy. After arriving by cable car, you need to take a bus for about 15 minutes to reach Yingxue Square. Halfway up the mountain is all for fun, and there is no scenery. There are skiing and other snow sports. If you want to see the scenery, take the Riyueping cable car to the top to see it, which is pretty good (I will write about it later in the experience of Yin and Yang).
Then let's talk about the fun activities! It is divided into several areas. We went skiing for 2 hours, 120 yuan, but we need to prepare a deposit of 800 yuan, which will be deducted directly from the deposit (Alipay, WeChat, cash are all acceptable). Then we hired a coach, because none of the three of us had skied before, so we needed to learn how to ski, how to brake, and how to fall. The coach's price is 120 for one-to-one, 160 for two-to-one, and 180 for three-to-one. Skiing is quite fun. I didn't know how to do it at first, but after learning, I was able to slide from top to bottom in one breath.
Then there was the ice speedboat, which can be ridden by three people at a time, 30/person/time, which was quite exciting, haha. The kids in the car in front of us didn't scream, but the three of us screamed from the beginning to the end. After going down, we took the magic carpet up. Then we played something else, the flying saucer, which is the one that is very popular on TikTok, but it is not as exciting as the speedboat, and it is also 30/person/time.
Finally, there is the zipline. Because it was very foggy when we went there, it was a bit steep when we played. The zipline is divided into two sections, and the second section is more fun and a little higher. 60/person/time
The first day was almost like this. By the way, you can go to Hongqi Supermarket to buy things. It is a low-priced supermarket. A bowl of instant noodles is about 4 yuan. Oh, the hotel we stayed in, the standard room of the Snow Flower Hotel, 315 per night, not expensive. You can go out to take pictures of the night view at night, and then you can sleep late the next day and take the 9:00 Riyueping cable car to enjoy the scenery. The price is 80 round trip. If you don’t understand anything, you can ask me. I will do my best to help you~ I hope it can help everyone
Real shot~
Xiling Snow Mountain ticket purchase is slow, the cable car is also slow, and it is a mess when I arrive at the visitor center. The most annoying thing is that I finally queued for an hour to buy a ticket, and I have to wait for more than an hour to take the cable car. Oh, I am speechless. One word, bad, two words are very bad,
The scenery on Xiling Snow Mountain is so beautiful. I suggest you come here if you have time during this period! You can contact 18030600785 for round trip to Chengdu. The price is very cheap! A round trip in Chengdu costs 600 yuan.
Xiling Snow Mountain, the highest peak in the scenic area, Miaojiling, is 5,353 meters above sea level. It is the highest peak in Chengdu, towering in the sky and covered with snow all year round. Du Fu, a great poet in the Tang Dynasty, praised this scenery and wrote the quatrain "The window contains the eternal snow of Xiling, and the door is moored with ships from Dongwu". The ski resort has 2,000 sets of world-famous ski equipment, so it is a very good choice whether it is to see the scenery or experience skiing.
Before we get to the point, let me talk about the difficulty of climbing Xiling Snow Mountain and its high popularity. It takes about 40 minutes to drive from our accommodation to Xiling Snow Mountain - provided there is no traffic jam. However, when we got to the place shown in the picture below, all the cars going up the mountain to the scenic spot were stuck. However, cars occasionally went down the mountain. Friendly reminder: the road ahead is blocked.
In desperation, all the cars had to turn around and only go to the back mountain of Xiling Snow Mountain in Xiling Town. This Xiling Snow Mountain is divided into the front mountain and the back mountain. The front mountain is the Dafeishui Scenic Area, and the back mountain is where you can take the cable car to the ski resort.
The 99 yuan package can only be used in the back mountain. Dayi has buses to Xiling Town and Xiling Snow Mountain Back Mountain Ski Resort. It is recommended to take the shuttle bus from Dayi to Xiling Snow Mountain Back Mountain Ski Resort. If you take the bus to Xiling Town, you need to share a car from Xiling Town to the back mountain ski resort. It costs about 20 yuan per person if you share 7 people, and 70 yuan if you are alone! It is difficult to share a car in the off-season, and it is not cost-effective to charter a car to the back mountain~
Xiling Snow Mountain is really nice, but it's not fun if you don't know how to ski. Haha, you can find a few friends to play together, it's really exciting! There's not much to do with the group
The Xiling Snow Mountain lives up to its reputation. It is indeed a place where the snow has lasted for thousands of years. Everything is covered in silver, as if you have entered a fairy tale world. It is so beautiful that the trip is worthwhile.
One-day tour group, you can ski halfway up the mountain, and take the cable car to the top of the mountain to reach the Yin and Yang world. It is very suitable for sightseeing, but the food is very expensive.
For those who have never seen snow, you can go and see it. For northerners, it’s too weak. Except for the ski resort, there is only a thin layer of snow in other places.
We went there at the end of January. The snow at Xiling Snow Mountain was very soft and comfortable. It was inevitable to fall when skiing for the first time, but it didn’t hurt as much as I imagined. Instead, it was very exciting!
If you are interested, you can go to my travel notes~ http://www.mafengwo.cn/i/6988685.html

Xiling Snow Mountain
This attraction is the closest place to see snow-capped mountains to Chengdu, the land of abundance. Not only can you see the snow scenery at Xiling Snow Mountain, you can also experience a series of interactive activities such as mountaineering and skiing. If you go there in the summer, you can also experience grass skiing. In terms of scenery, you can also see natural wonders such as sea of clouds, sunrise, and sunset. Among them, the Yin and Yang Boundary is a very distinctive landscape that cannot be missed.
Many people who go to Chengdu say that they must go to Jiuzhaigou! I have been to Chengdu twice but I have not been to Jiuzhaigou once. However, after doing some research online, I feel that Xiling Snow Mountain is really great! I decided to go to Xiling Snow Mountain! If you don’t have enough time and don’t want to spend too much money, but you still want to do something special! I personally recommend that you go to Xiling Snow Mountain! Cleanse your body and mind! Xiling Snow Mountain is really a good choice for you!
Xiling Snow Mountain Scenic Area is a national key scenic spot featuring alpine natural scenery. The scenic area is rich in natural resources and has a variety of landscape types, integrating mountains, water, forests, rocks, animals, and astronomical landscapes, with a strong primitive atmosphere.
The Xiling Snow Mountain cable car has two types: slow and fast. Tickets and cable car packages are 240/person. The snow on the mountain is very thick, and the snow world is full of glazed red plums. It is great for taking photos.
The trip exceeded expectations. The scenic area is relatively clean, the signboards are clear, and the consumption is not too high. It is worth a visit.

The scenic area has complete facilities and transportation services, and the environment is very good. It is a good place for skiing and hot springs.
It is very close to Chengdu, with lots of snow and beautiful scenery. The accommodation and food conditions are very good. It is a rare place to play in the snow.
Xiling Snow Mountain is the closest snow mountain to Chengdu and is very beautiful.
"The ship from Wu is moored at the door, and the window contains the eternal snow of Xiling". This is the famous quatrain of the famous poet Du Fu. This is the origin of the name of Xiling Snow Mountain. Xiling Snow Mountain is located in Dayi County, Chengdu City, Sichuan Province, only 95 kilometers away from Chengdu, with a total area of 375 square kilometers. It is a world natural heritage, a giant panda habitat, an AAAA-level tourist attraction, and a national key scenic spot. There is a snow-covered mountain with snow all year round in the scenic area, with an altitude of 5,353 meters, which is the highest peak in Chengdu. Xiling Snow Mountain Scenic Area is a national key scenic spot featuring alpine natural scenery. It is located in the middle section of the Qionglai Mountains and belongs to the transition zone between the eastern edge of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and the Chengdu Plain. The scenic area is rich in natural resources and diverse landscape types. It integrates mountains, water, forests, stones, animals, and astronomical landscapes, with a strong primitive atmosphere. The rich plant species and numerous rare birds and animals add rich content to the adventure and curiosity of tourists. The rolling mountains, cliffs, strange peaks and rocks, and numerous waterfalls, springs, cascading water, deep pools and other water features greatly enrich the visitors' viewing experience. The scenic area is vast, rich in scenic resources, and has a beautiful landscape. It integrates mountains, water, forests, rocks, air, and sky. The combination of high, medium and low mountains is unique, with a strong natural style and the characteristics of southern alpine primeval forests. Its broad connotation and large capacity are rare in scenic spots, especially the geographical wonders of the Yin and Yang boundary are rare in the world.
Due to the great difference in altitude and diverse climate types, the low mountains are covered with flowers and the high mountains are covered with snow all year round. The contrast is great. In a day's tour, you can enjoy the scenery of different seasons, so it is also known as "watching four seasons in one day, and different weather in ten miles". The rich original forest coverage rate in the scenic area reaches 90%, and there are more than 3,000 plant species, including rare tree species such as ginkgo, fragrant fruit tree, and Davidia involucrata. The original osmanthus tree reaches more than 1,000 acres, which is very rare. Rare animals such as giant pandas, wildebeests, golden monkeys, macaques, clouded leopards, and chickens often appear. Xiling Snow Mountain is divided into the front mountain and the back mountain. Each has its own style. Hikers who like hiking usually climb from the front mountain to the Sun and Moon Terrace, or the Yin and Yang boundary.
Xiling Snow Mountain Scenic Area is an ideal place to escape the summer heat and play in the snow in winter. It is also the closest snow mountain to Chengdu.
Xiling Snow Mountain is located in Dayi County, Chengdu. It is named after the eternal quatrain of the poet Du Fu, "The window contains the eternal snow of Xiling". I remember that the snow on the ground had not accumulated to a certain thickness at that time, so it was a little regrettable, but it did not affect my enthusiasm for skiing at all, because it was my first time to experience skiing, and it felt quite fun~~
I suggest people from the north not to go there, because it is rare to see snow in the south, but it is not that good compared to the north. I don't know what the scenery is like in summer. I dare not comment. In addition, I don't recommend going there during holidays. It takes two hours to go up and down the mountain and wait for the cable car.
Xiling Snow Mountain Scenic Area is located in Xidayi County, Chengdu, with a total area of 483 square kilometers. The scenic area is 55 kilometers away from the county seat and 100 kilometers away from Chengdu. The Daxuetang in the scenic area is 5,364 meters above sea level and is the highest peak in Chengdu. It stands tall in the sky and is covered with snow all year round. It is a national key scenic spot featuring alpine natural scenery. It is located in the middle section of the Qionglai Mountains and belongs to the transition zone between the eastern edge of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and the Chengdu Plain. The scenic area is rich in natural resources and has a variety of landscape types. It integrates mountains, water, forests, stones, animals, and astronomical landscapes, with a strong primitive atmosphere. Rich plant species and numerous rare birds and animals add rich content to tourists' adventures and hunting. The rolling mountains, cliffs, strange peaks and rocks, and other mountain and stone scenery, as well as numerous waterfalls, flying springs, waterfalls, deep pools and other waterscapes, have greatly enriched the viewing content of tourists. The scenic area is vast, rich in scenic resources, and has a beautiful landscape. It integrates mountains, water, forests, rocks, air, and sky. The combination of high, medium, and low mountains is unique, with a strong natural style and the characteristics of southern alpine primitive forests. Its broad connotation and large capacity are rare in scenic spots. Its essence can be summarized in three sentences, namely "its soul is in the forest, its spirit is in the mountain, and its spirit is in the water". Due to its great altitude difference and diverse climate types, the low mountains are full of flowers and the high mountains are covered with snow all year round. The contrast is great. In a day's tour, you can enjoy the scenery of different seasons, so it is also known as "watching four seasons in one day, and different weather in ten miles".
"The window contains the eternal snow of Xiling, and the door is moored with ships from Dongwu." Regardless of whether the Xiling mentioned by Du Fu is this snow mountain, the fact that it is only 95 kilometers away from Chengdu city and you can enjoy the snow has earned enough points. The overall feeling of the back mountain is good. The facilities in the middle of the mountain are complete. It is not that things are scarce in the snow mountain and difficult to buy at sky-high prices. The entertainment facilities are also very rich. I was lucky enough to see the sunrise and the sea of clouds on the second day. The only drawback is that the weather has been warm these days, and I didn't see the full snow scene. The tickets and cable cars are a little expensive
The misty Xiling Mountains, with clouds and mountains shrouded in fog, are breathtakingly beautiful.
It is definitely worth a visit. Please go during non-holidays. There are not many people and the scenery is beautiful. I saw the sunrise for the first time in my life and was so moved! The round trip bus from Chengdu and the one-night stay at the ski resort cost about 1,000 yuan.
You have to experience it in winter. If you go to Xiling Snow Mountain, you have to stay overnight on the mountain! Because at night you can freely play some activities that are charged in the morning, hahaha! There are many choices of hotels on the mountain. If you stay overnight, you can take the bus to go down the mountain the next morning to avoid peak hours, because there are still many people queuing up for the shuttle bus in the evening. The ski resort should be considered large, the fee is acceptable, and teaching is also provided. If you want to have fun, you can go in and play. Finally, the cable car to the top of the mountain takes more than 40 minutes, and you can see the panoramic view. The Hongqi chain supermarket on the mountain is fair and the price is the same as outside, and there are many kinds of goods! As for snacks, I really only remember the "big steak", and it is quite pleasant to eat a big steak in the cold wind.
Xiling Snow Mountain is famous for the poem by Du Fu: "The window contains the eternal snow of Xiling, and the door is moored with ships from Dongwu." The snow in Xiling was not very thick in early January, and many places for playing in the snow still rely on artificial snowmaking. It is estimated that February will be a better skiing season.
The charm of Xiling is not just skiing. Xiling also has spectacular scenery such as the sea of clouds and the Yin-Yang boundary. The hiking routes in Xiling are also very famous.
This time we arranged a 2-day trip and only enjoyed part of the scenery of Xiling. I will come again if I have the chance.
Xiling Snow Mountain is less than 100 kilometers away from Chengdu. It is hard to imagine the scene of ice and snow when driving among the green mountains and clear waters, but it is indeed so: when you arrive at the end of the cable car, you will see a vast expanse of white, which is amazing! Various snow activities are dazzling! Xiling Snow Mountain is well-deserved!
It's so beautiful when it snows. Although the ticket and cable car ticket are a little expensive, it's a great sensory experience.
In order to reach the top of the mountain before sunrise, we got up early and took the cable car to the top of the mountain. In the early morning, the fog in the valley was particularly thick. After reaching the top of the mountain, the air was filled with the unique fresh smell of the forest. The sky was still black, with only faint lights, and coupled with the fog, it was impossible to see what was in the distance.
The Xiling Snow Mountain is really beautiful when it snows. We went there early and there was not much snow, but it was still beautiful. The row of red houses and the lake near the ski resort halfway up the mountain are also beautiful. It is a good place for southerners to see the snow.
I went there on December 5th. It was raining at the foot of the mountain, snowing on the mountainside, and the sun was shining brightly on the top of the mountain. Hahaha, it was really snowing heavily in the bright sunshine of the south.
The snow on the snowy mountain is very thick when I went there in winter. The transportation is quite convenient, but you need to be careful not to slip. There are too many people, and the snow on the mountain road has turned into ice.
The front mountain of Xiling Snow Mountain is Dafeishui Scenic Area, which is suitable for hiking and camping. The back mountain is mainly composed of skiing, grass skiing and various entertainment facilities. The ticket for the front mountain Dafeishui Scenic Area is 30 yuan. The ticket for the back mountain Xiling Snow Mountain Ski Resort (excluding grass skiing, skiing, etc.) is 80 yuan.
The window contains the eternal snow of Xiling. Xiling is actually very beautiful. There are lakes, cottages and villas. It really feels like a fairyland.
Xiling Snow Mountain is located in Dayi County, Chengdu City, Sichuan Province, only 95 kilometers away from Chengdu, with a total area of 375 square kilometers. It is a world natural heritage, a giant panda habitat, an AAAA-level tourist attraction, and a national key scenic spot. The highest peak in the scenic area, Miaojiling, is 5,364 meters above sea level. It is the highest peak in Chengdu, towering in the sky, covered with snow all year round. Under the sunlight, it is white and crystal, silvery and beautiful. Du Fu, a great poet in the Tang Dynasty, praised this scene and wrote a quatrain "The window contains the eternal snow of Xiling, and the door is moored with ships from Dongwu." Xiling Snow Mountain got its name from this.
There are other attractions worth seeing: Yin Yang Realm, Guanyun Terrace, Panda Forest, Sun and Moon Terrace, Yunzhengxiawei, Xiling Snow Mountain Ski Resort
For a Sichuanese who has never seen heavy snow, the first time I went to Xiling Snow Mountain, I was so excited that I couldn't stand steadily at the ski station for the first time. It is recommended to stay in Huashuiwan the day before. There are hotels, guesthouses and homestays there. There are accommodations of different prices. You can visit more of them. The key point is that you can take a hot spring bath at night. You can ask which hot spring is better at the place where you live. If there is no group purchase, you can ask the locals to help buy it, which can save a little money. The most important thing is that you can queue up at Xiling Snow Mountain early the next day. We lived in Chengdu South Station at that time. Although it was an early morning train, when we arrived, the queue was already endless. It was marked at the front for at least two hours. My heart was chilled. And you have to queue up and down the mountain. So staying in Huashuiwan can save at least 2 hours of queuing time. The ski resort is a bit pit, because from the moment you buy the ticket and enter, the time starts. You have to pick up your shoes and locker keys first. You have to find your locker among thousands of lockers, and you have to change your shoes and put your things, which wastes time. But the time to return the shoes starts from the time you hand them over to the staff, which usually takes nearly half an hour. So be sure to hurry up~ The facilities inside are relatively complete, and the food is still the specialty of the scenic spot, expensive and unpalatable.
It's quite cold up there, so I suggest you bring a down jacket if you come here, just in case😁😁😁
There are many things to do, but they are a little expensive. If you have time, you can come during the Ice and Snow Festival, where you can get free tickets.
There is no snow on Xiling Snow Mountain, but only lush green, flowing springs and waterfalls.
The two of them were still excited as they walked on the thick snow, but they were no longer happy when they went up the mountain. The snow was too heavy and they felt like they couldn't walk anymore.
The higher you go, the less hot you feel, and instead a cooler feeling appears.
Take the free sightseeing bus to the square, where the main entertainment activities are. The scenery here is completely different from that below. The clouds are flowing around, and there are waves of chill. For those of us who have not been to high altitude areas, this is a scene in a fairy tale.
I turned around and suddenly saw the sea of clouds! It was like water, with clear boundaries!
Most of the good angles cannot avoid the cables, but you can see how steep the mountain is, and the cable car just keeps going up... Mountain, how high are you?
We didn't feel cold in the cable car, but once we got off, we immediately felt a chill that made us shiver! We put on all the clothes we brought, but we were still cold. Although we had read the guide in advance and knew it would be cold, we thought that it wouldn't be that cold in such hot weather. As it turned out, I was wrong!
The difference between summer and winter is that summer is all green and winter is all white. But with the fresh and cool air, and the fact that it is Monday, there are not many people and it is quiet, it feels good even in summer!
Friends who want to go to the front mountain have to get off at Xiling Snow Mountain Town, and then transfer to the front mountain. We originally planned to climb the front mountain first, but time was a bit tight for us, so we went directly to the back mountain.
I really want to go skiing, but it's really expensive. It's 100 yuan per hour on weekdays and 120 yuan per hour on weekends and holidays. I paid a 500 yuan deposit but didn't do any entertainment. I just made a snowman.
We have seen some snow along the way! So excited! So excited!
There weren't too many people at the ticket booth. There were student prices for the tickets, but there was no student price for the cable car to the ski resort. You need your ID card to buy the ticket!
It was so beautiful to the naked eye. A vast expanse of white. The red cable car. I still remember that scene! It was really shocking. The whole world was a vast expanse of white, a pure, clean, and inviolable color!
After reaching the top of the mountain, you still have to take a bus to reach the ski resort.
The ski resort has food, rentals, and a variety of activities to enjoy, such as zipline (a person sits on a chair and slides in the air, I want to try it next time!), banana boat (it hurts my butt from the skiing, hahaha), snow saucer (people who are seasick or carsick may get dizzy from the spinning), etc.
Ah, there are also hot air balloon rides. I don't really understand what it's like to ride a hot air balloon here. I think it's scary... The sky is gray and I can't see anything at all. There is a sense of fear brought by the unknown.
