Snow Scene Live promises me to go to Sichuan West to see the snow this winter!
The winter in Sichuan West is mainly about immersive snow play and snowball fights, which can also satisfy all your fantasies about snow.
Recommended places to play in the snow in winter, 1. Bipenggou
The whole valley is covered with snow in winter, not only can you see the snow, ski, but also soak in hot springs, you must go here in winter.
2. Dagu Glacier
There is a lonely coffee shop on the top of the mountain, and the snow on the top of the mountain is particularly thick and fine, stepping on it like marshmallows.
3. Siguniang Mountain
The continuous snow mountains, forests, especially the road into the scenic area by sightseeing car, really like Swiss scenery.
4. Zhegushan
You can go to Zhegushan in winter 100 times, with European-style chalets, swings, cloud ladders, carousels, as well as skiing, snowmobiles, etc., there are really too many projects to play.
5. Wawushan
There are wooden plank roads piled with snow, fog and fir trees with snow, and beautiful sea of clouds.
6. Taiziling Ski Resort
Don't envy the north, Sichuan also has its own ski resort, with beginner, intermediate, and advanced tracks to meet different player needs.
7. Xiling Snow Mountain
It's closer to Chengdu, it's really as beautiful as described in the poem, when you come to Xiling Snow Mountain, you are in the painting.
Snow play precautions
1. Be sure to bring waterproof gloves, otherwise your hands will be frozen. 2. Scarves, hats, masks and other warm measures should be taken, it is easy to catch a cold in winter.
The snow kingdom in the suburbs of Chengdu, Xiling Snow Mountain!
It's the season for playing in the snow again
The 2023 Chengdu Winter Ice and Snow Hot Spring Tourism Season is here
Fortunate to witness the beautiful snow scenery this winter
The snow in the south is so beautiful, it's like a fairy tale
The children in the south have been looking forward to it for a long time
This season's Xiling Snow Mountain Ice and Snow Festival is themed on national style shows
Only when you put on Hanfu do you realize
The white world really matches Hanfu
Experiencing a time travel here is really cool
The snow trail has officially opened, you can enjoy skiing⛷️
Rolling snowballs and building snowmen in the snow⛄️ is really fun
You can also visit the wine market, soak in hot springs, cook wine around the stove, check in various fun NPCs, experience intangible cultural heritage, and give you a different winter experience!

I love this fairyland on earth

China’s largest ski resort!🏂⛷🎿
Getting There - 2 hours by car from Chengdu, need to take cable car up to the mountain
Attractions - Xiling Ski Resort
Hotels - Scandina Hotel
Food & Restaurants - Xiling Ski Resort
Shopping - Xiling Ski Resort
Xiling Ski Resort is located in Sichuan Province and around 2 hours by car from Chengdu city.
Once you arrive in Xiling, you will need to take a cable car to access the mountain and it costs ¥120 round trip. Once up in the mountain, everyone need to take a free bus that bring to Xiling Ski Resort.
We chose to stay at Scandina Hotel that is up in the mountain, so it means we needed to carry our bags until we reach the hotel that is 5min walking from the bus station. We left our big luggage in Chengdu and only brought skowboard clothes, boots and helmet with us to Xiling, I reccomend you travel light if you also choose to stay in the hotel up in the mountain.
Speaking about Scandina Hotel, it is the best considering it’s location, specially if you like to wake up early and go snowboard/ski on the first time in the morning, because you save the time of queuing and taking the cable car from the bottom of the mountain. But the staff is not really helpful and not prepared to receive foreign guests. Also meals are not great, there is only chinese food and quality is not good, but you don’t really have many choices around.
Speaking about the Ski Resort, me and my husband already snowboard and we had our equipments, but you can rent all there! There are lots of kids and families that actually go to plan in the base and not go up to the mountain and do sports. There are not many Medium/Advanced trails and they are very short, in the end we spent more time in the lift than actually enjoying snowboarding.
I would say it is ok to go if you live around and have no other option or if you are a beginner and want to learn go ski/snowboard or have kids!

Chengdu - Xiling Snow Mountain Ski Resort
A, Chengdu Chadianzi Bus Terminal - Xiling Snow Mountain Ski Resort; Time: Morning 09
The May Day holiday is crowded, so you might want to go to Dayi in Chengdu instead of where it's packed with people
🚉Travel tips:
It takes about half an hour from Chengdu Station to Dayi Station.
It's a 1-hour drive from Chengdu.
✅Must experience:
Xiling Snow Mountain
The highest peak in Chengdu, with snow on the summit all year round, May is the perfect time for the blooming of rhododendrons and dove trees.
Huashuiwan
Surrounded by mountains, with a variety of European-style buildings, it feels like being in a foreign country, very suitable for relaxing.
🏨Hotel environment: European-style mansions in Xiling Ancient Town, with both modern and Republic of China styles.
It's not that Norway is unaffordable, but that Xiling Snow Mountain offers better value for money
✨"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.
Regret taking the 10-month-old baby to Xiling Snow Mountain to see the spring snow
Regret not bringing her earlier, she was so happy!
Really wanted to see the snow in winter, so I took advantage of the late spring cold snap and stayed in Huashuiwan the day before the temperature dropped. The next day, after feeding the baby, we went up the mountain.
Going out is a test of the adults' patience, don't rush. Shanshan didn't finish her milk until 10 am, and we didn't leave the hotel until 11 am😅. It took half an hour to drive to the parking lot, and it was drizzling. Then we started to get the baby ready, dressed her warmly, put on a raincoat, and she was comfortable in the carrier! A 10-minute cable car ride, a 10-minute bus ride, and we arrived at the ski resort. The adults were hungry again, but to our surprise, there were Xiaojun Village and Yoshinoya. After we finished eating, it was time for Shanshan to have her milk again. After all that, it was 2️⃣ pm!
Don't be in a hurry, and you'll be happy. Take some photos, play in the snow for a while, and then go down the mountain.
Some people might ask what this trip was for, but it was worth it for everyone's happiness!
Surroundings of Chengdu | Step into the 'Blossoms' set with its Republican-era Western-style mansion
| Step into the 'Blossoms' set with its Republican-era Western-style mansion. After following the popular drama 'Blossoms',
I really wanted to take a walk on Huanghe Road.
I never expected my dream to turn into reality.
During a weekend outing, I discovered an old Western-style building just like the one in 'Blossoms'.
Entering the mansion is like stepping into a Wong Kar-wai movie scene.
The architecture and interior decorations have a strong sense of the era.
The old wooden building through the years,
the wooden louvered doors bathed in sunlight,
the retro little balcony...
The feeling of 'Blossoms' is about to burst forth~
You can dress up like 'Li Li'
and take a set of photos with the Wong Kar-wai atmosphere.
On our first day, we went to Xiling Snow Mountain,
and unfortunately, we didn't see any snow,
but we took a lot of photos we liked in the guesthouse,
and we were still very happy.
The guesthouse is newly opened.
After sharing on social media, many people asked about it.
Friends who like it can go for it~

In Chengdu!! The walkway to the clouds is seriously underrated and incredibly beautiful
Right in Chengdu!! I found the hiking trail to the ☁️ clouds
Winding at the mountain top, the walkway offers a great view of the cloud sea sunrise from the observation deck...
The trail is very friendly to beginners and not many people know about it
Along the way, there's a fairy-tale-like sea of daisy flowers, high mountain rhododendrons, and little squirrels foraging...
Strolling through the clouds, watching the ink-painting-like continuous mountains⛰️, spending a cool summer with temperatures around 20 degrees...

Southern people simply have no resistance to snow!!! I heard that you can see the snow scene in Chengdu. As soon as the holiday comes, I can't wait to go to Chengdu. It's really beautiful!!! The primeval forest, the sea of forests and snow, the fog and pine snow, these landscapes that I thought could only be seen in the north, I didn't expect to see in Chengdu, so excited!! The understanding of Chengdu is not only delicious, but also beautiful!!! Chengdu is really a paradise for niche travel enthusiasts!
🚩Location: Middle section of Qionglai Mountain Range, Xiling Town, Dayi County, Chengdu City, Sichuan Province, 110 kilometers away from Chengdu
🚗Self-driving!!: Depart from Chengdu, 1.5h direct
You can take the first cable car to reach the Mandarin Duck Pool, then take the bus to the mid-mountain Yingxue Square, where there are also skiing projects and some restaurants!!!
We took the second cable car to Riyueping, where there are primeval forests! Sea of forests and snow! Fog pine snow! Ice hanging ice waterfall! All are so beautiful that people are amazed. Not only that, you can also watch the sunrise and sunset here! Who would have thought, snow scene + lake view + sunrise and sunset, how beautiful the scenery with three buffs stacked! Not only the static beauty but also the dynamic beauty, at the cable car exit, you may also meet a little squirrel who likes to eat peanuts!!!
🈯️Warmth Guide: The altitude of the tour area is between 2000 and 3000 meters, the temperature difference between morning and evening is large, be sure to keep warm!!! Down jackets, thermal clothing, sunglasses, hats, scarves, snow boots, gloves, etc. must be worn, they are all essential items for keeping warm!!!
📌Small tips: Pay attention to personal quality, civilized play! Definitely definitely definitely do not go to dangerous undeveloped areas~

Here you can not only appreciate the unique mountains of the south, but also see the snow scene in the north, don't be too surprised! I can't imagine that after seeing these, I am really the happiest little girl in the world now!!!
What kind of homestay really makes people fall in love with the mountains and fields
What kind of homestay really makes people fall in love with the mountains and fields. The most relaxing homestay in Chengdu should be Fang Minnan Ye.
Dig fresh bamboo shoots (there are all over the mountain! You can dig and take away to eat! )
Pick vegetables (the boss grows organic! No fertilizer, no medicine) Pick tea (you can take it home after picking)
Hiking (quiet and cool, the air is super good! Pay attention to sun protection on sunny days)
Easy hand-made plant specimens (know a lot of plants) Starry sky watching movies (romantic night under the starry sky)
Camping barbecue (a lot of portions, two people did not finish eating meat)
The distant mountains are green, and the morning mist is hazy. The quiet night only hears the sound of frogs, and the morning in the mountains and fields is the sound of cicadas and birds.
Living here, you will fall in love with this hill, this field, and love everything that is full of vitality.
It's snowing on Xiling Snow Mountain
The good place to play in the snow near Chengdu - Xiling Snow Mountain, at this moment, I can't help but chant a poem: The window contains the thousand autumn snow of Xiling, the door is moored to the boat of Dongwu for thousands of miles!
