Step into the Shangri-La of the North | The Snow Town of Luya Mountain in Shanxi

| The Snow Town of Luya Mountain in Shanxi. Although Luya Mountain does not have the fame of famous mountains and rivers, it is naturally beautiful, simple and original~ It is more than 400 kilometers away from Beijing, suitable for self-driving snow play in the forest snowfield, the secret off-road crossing holy land.... Luya Mountain is known as the 'Shangri-La of the North', 'the hometown of deciduous pine in North China' and 'the Snow Town of Shanxi'. Every year at the end of October and early November, it starts to snow on Luya Mountain. To take pictures of the snow scene on Luya Mountain, you have to catch the time when there is no ice on the road, so that you can drive a professional off-road vehicle to the top of the mountain. Otherwise, it will take six or seven hours to hike up the mountain. Most people's understanding of Luya Mountain is a scenic spot suitable for playing every year from May to October. Little do they know that the winter of Luya Mountain is more beautiful than summer, and it has been known as 'Snow Town of Shanxi' in recent years. Luya Mountain belongs to the northern temperate continental climate. The climate is cold and dry, with many windy days, distinct seasons, long winter, short frost-free period, and large diurnal temperature difference. The special climatic conditions make it snow frequently in winter and not easy to melt. The current Luya Mountain has experienced a heavy snowfall on November 5th, which is the best time to play in the snow. The snow in the forest is already very thick, and there are also ice waterfalls and ice hangings, waiting for you to come and play in the snow!
