Winter-Hike at Jiufeng Mountain

Jiufeng Mointain is a 3200m high mountain in West-Sichuan, close to the capital city of Chengdu. It's a hard hike in winter, so definitely pack some good shows and warm clothing. The scenery is stunning, especially if you're lucky enough to see the new snow. ❄️ 📍 Where? From Chengdu it's a 2,5 hours ride with the car. For navigation: 九峰山 is the Chinese name. 🎟️ Entrance is for free, parking fee is 10RMB (daytime) or 30RMB (overnight). #gohiking #chengdu #sichuan #hikingtrails #chinatravel #snowscene

A Hiking-Trip Above The Clouds

One of my last trips of this year brought me to Chengdu's mountain range in the West of Sichuan. The mountain is called: Jiufeng Mountain, you can translate it to 'Nine Peaks Mointain'. 🏔️ We went in December, the start of the hike was in the snow. After hiking for three hours, we finally reached the top of the clouds and hiked above it. The sea of clouds was amazing and suddenly we had blue sky. Winter and summer in one hike! 🚗 Best way to go there is by car. It's quite rural, so no public transportation is available. Nevertheless there are hotels and guesthouses in the towns around it. You can also do it as a day trip from Chengdu, but better start before 6am to avoid the dark in the evening. 🎟️ Jiufeng Mountain has no entrance ticket, but a parking fee. I hope next year we can see many more hiking peaks, more nature and more mountains! My next dream destination would be Nepal's mountains... ⛰️🏞️🏔️ #2023travelwish #chengdu #hiking #sichuan #mountainview #explorechina

Jiufeng Mountain is located in Dabao Township, Chengdu, northwest of Pengzhou City. It has an altitude of more than 3,000 meters. The scenic spots have not yet been developed. The road to the mountain is very immature. People who like to hike like mountain climbing like self-abuse will appreciate the beauty. Transportation: It is most convenient to drive or charter in the past. There is no direct shuttle bus. Take the shuttle bus to Pengzhou in Chengdu Wuzhishi Bus Station, take the shuttle bus from Pengzhou to Baishui River, take the van from Baishui River to the red house, and start at Jiufeng Mountain. The journey from Chengdu to Jiufengshan takes about 4 hours. I set off from Chengdu very early in the morning, and started climbing at the mountain at noon, and went to the top of the mountain in the evening. Jiufeng Mountain is no car to the top of the mountain, the whole journey can only walk! If the middle foot is abolished, you can ask someone to go down the mountain, and the cost is very high. There is no place to live on the top of the mountain. There are only 2 small houses where you can sleep, but there is usually nothing. It is best to bring your sleeping bag and moisture pad. The top of the mountain is very cold at night, so be sure to bring thick clothes. Bring your own food and water. If there are many people going up the mountain on weekends, there will be an uncle on the top of the mountain to cook and boil water, but it is best to bring your own food just in case. Look at the night scenes, stars, sunrises, clouds and seas to fight for the character, the beauty will be left to the lucky ones.
