Viewing snow on Mount Lu in winter

Mount Lu, you are really... so beautiful that I'm lost for words... It's not that I can't afford to go to Harbin, but Mount Lu offers better value for money, with temperatures that southerners can tolerate, convenient accommodation and food, and the opportunity to see and play in the snow. Once you've been to Mount Lu, you'll want to go again! Best time to see the snow: December-January Weather: If you want to see the snow, it's important to check the weather forecast a week in advance! Pay attention to the real-time updates from the locals, and book your room for the days when it's going to snow. We always book hotels that allow same-day cancellation, just in case it doesn't snow. If you want to see the snowfall, you can plan to go on the days when it's snowing. The downside is that there may be heavy fog, like the days we went, most of which were foggy, with very little sunshine! But the photos taken in the few minutes of sunshine are also very beautiful. If you want to see the snow in clear weather, and take good photos, I suggest going on a sunny day after the snow. The rime and blue sky will make you cry with joy, and the light for photography is great. Accommodation: I recommend staying in a hotel on the mountain in Kuling Town or near the main street of Jie Xin Park. This time, we mainly wanted to see the snow, so we booked hotels with windows that offer views of the snow and have heating. The prices vary depending on the time of year, so you can check for yourself. My friend stayed at the Xi'an Hotel, which was also good. Food: This time, our main task in Mount Lu was to see the snow, so we didn't pay much attention to the food. We had meals at Wang Lu Shuo and Qi Yun Guan Jing Hotel, both of which were not bad. If you can't get used to the food, there's also KFC and Ruixing. Tour route: Because all the attractions we went to were foggy, we only visited Jie Xin Park and Ru Qin Lake in a very relaxed manner. The original plan was: day1 half day on the west line: Flower Path - Ru Qin Lake - Yan Shi Book House - Xian Ren Cave - Small Tian Chi day2 a full day on the east line: San Die Spring - Wu Lao Peak - Botanical Garden Equipment: The temperature is around -5 to 5 degrees, and it may be colder in January. Upper body: thermal underwear + base knitwear + fleece sweatshirt + down jacket (long down jacket if the temperature is below zero, short down jacket or coat if the temperature is tolerable) Lower body: thermal leggings + fleece jeans Other: ice claws, snowboard, snow clip, gloves, woolen hat, scarf, earmuffs, windproof mask, fleece socks, snow boots, hand warmers (not used if the temperature is tolerable) Photography: Jie Xin Park is great for photography both during the day and at night! The red-roofed villas at the foot of the mountain have a Nordic style. Also, Ru Qin Lake, Lu Lin Lake, Small Tian Chi, Flower Path, these attractions are all stunningly beautiful, bring a camera if you have one!
