Do you know where the nearest snowy mountain to Chengdu is? Although I missed the beautiful snow scenery in winter, the Xiling Snow Mountain in summer has different surprises. The most important thing is that the average temperature is only about 20℃, making it a natural summer resort.

In fact, the Xiling Snow Mountain is named after the ancient quatrain of Du Fu, the great poet of the Tang Dynasty,"The window contains the thousands of autumn snow in the Xiling Mountains, and the door lies in the Wanli River of Dongwu." The extremely high forest coverage also makes this place known as a green oxygen bar, which can be reached within 2 hours by car from the city center.

Japanese style freshness in Yingxue Square

The Xiling Snow Mountain is divided into the front mountain and the back mountain. Generally speaking, when you come to visit, you will choose the back mountain. There are many essential attractions, and the ski resort in winter is also here.

However, Xiling Snow Mountain is not only suitable for visiting in winter. In the hot summer, the temperature here is still only in the twenties, making it an excellent summer resort.

After arriving at Xiling Snow Mountain, you can take the Yuanyanchi Cableway at the gate of the scenic area. You can still see the misty and misty mountains on the cable car. The whole journey takes about 15 minutes. After that, you can change to a shuttle bus and pass through the azalea forest in the mountains. You can reach Yingxue Square. When I first got off the bus, I saw flowers all over the mountains and fields. It was super dreamy. Even though it is summer now, there is still a spring scene here.

June is the peak flowering period in the scenic area. Across the bank of Yingxue Lake, small daisies, alpine rhododendrons, Yu beauties, etc. are blooming, and the air is filled with the sweetness of flowers.

After the ice and snow faded, what we ushered in was a piece of vitality and a little freshness. The sea of flowers and the lake intersect and reflect each other, making it particularly beautiful.

Strolling on the path among the flowers, breathing in the fresh air, even my mood feels better. In fact, summer is very suitable for a vacation in such a cool place.

Yellow primroses and white little daisy chrysanthemums are mixed together, and every place can become the most suitable check-in point, making people feel like they are in a fairy tale.

Girls who like to take photos must love it here. They can walk into the sea of flowers and take pictures of various different styles: pastoral style, French style, small freshness, and switch at will.

The summer customs are hidden in this beautiful sea of flowers, and the fragrance of flowers is fragrant step by step.

Sitting casually on one side of the steps and using flowers as a foreground adds a different aesthetic feeling. It is the most suitable place to come here with friends on weekends.

There is not only the romance of chrysanthemums here, but also large areas of hydrangea flowers and purple lavender when we continue to stroll forward.

Of course, the scenic area is not just a romantic sea of flowers. A large area of refreshing grassland is also a highlight here.

Walking along the plank road, everything you can see is green, like a huge oil painting unfolding in front of your eyes, with flowers floating nearby.

In addition to large grasslands, characteristic yurts are also indispensable. Away from the hustle and glitz, there is more tranquility and simplicity. I believe that everyone who comes here will be inadvertently tempted.

The cute kung fu panda stands in the corner of the sea of flowers. Many children love to come here to take photos with it. The more cute it looks, the more cute it becomes.

An exciting and fun grass skiing experience

Walking, I just walked to the grass skiing area of the scenic area. After experiencing the excitement of skiing in winter, you must not miss grass skiing.

What is even more surprising is that there are many experience projects in the scenic area: horse riding, hot air balloons, ATV off-road vehicles, four-wheeled grass skiing, archery, and rock climbing. Many people think that there are only skiing events suitable for winter in Xiling Snow Mountain, but in fact, skiing on the grassland can give you the same fun.

The various equipment and facilities in the scenic area are also brand new. The thick lawn is soft and comfortable to step on.

Before preparing for grass skiing, the staff in the scenic area will also help us take safety protection very seriously and meticulously to ensure the safety of skiing. After ensuring that there is no error, we can start the grass skiing experience.

Wandering on the green grass and sliding downward, the exciting feeling can only be known after experiencing it.

After experiencing grass skiing, you can also try the ATV off-road vehicle and travel through the exclusive track to drive as much as you can.

ATV is actually very simple and easy to use. Even if it's your first time playing, don't worry. There will be professional coaches who will explain the precautions and teaching exercises for riding. You can feel the pleasure of conquering while riding.

After experiencing the exciting projects, I discovered that there was also a cultural and creative display area in the scenic area, where there were many creative cultural and creative products.

When you first saw this strange building in front of you, I believe everyone, like me, can't guess what it is.

Later, I learned that this turned out to be an egg house camp. Although the egg house has a small space, the internal functions are actually very comprehensive and can meet different functions at different times. It also carries filtering and heat recovery functions, allowing everyone living in it to live in a healthy and comfortable environment.

Take the cableway and overlook the panoramic view

After lunch, after a short rest, you can take the Riyueping Cableway to Riyueping, and you can go up the mountain to see the sea of clouds.

Riyueping's cableway is currently the longest in the country, about 2500 meters, so it is also the best place to view the sea of clouds.

In June, the Xiling Snow Mountain is full of green mountains and clear waters, dense virgin forests, covered with rolling green mountains, and there are wisps of white clouds on the top of the mountain. Especially by sitting on the cable car and walking through the clouds of clouds, you can feel the mist and mist.

The cableway spans the mountains and mountains. It is not only a unique sightseeing route, but also a safe and exciting experience.

Through the glass windows of the cable car, you can see the myriad changes in the scene in front of you, and the texture of the mountain is clearly visible. If it is the first time to take the cableway, you may feel a little nervous, but in fact, after slowly adapting to it, it will be more of the shock brought by the scenery, and you can personally appreciate the artistic conception of "seeing all the mountains and small".

The Wonderland of Cloud Sea in Riyueping

This is the first peak belonging to Chengdu and the highest peak in the Xiling Snow Mountain. It is as high as 3250 meters above sea level and has a particularly wide view.

Although Xiling Snow Mountain is not as steep as Mount Tai and Mount Hua, it also has infinite scenery, with different scenery all year round.

But in fact, the most exciting thing is the sunrise, sunset and Buddhist light here. If you really want to see the sunrise, I suggest you stay here for one night in advance. You can see it here in the early morning. The sun is rising higher and higher, and together with the surrounding clouds, it is dyed a warm orange color.

On the specially built plank road on Riyueping, there are also many check-in points with special characteristics of Xiling Snow Mountain.

When you come to this very narrow plank road in front of you, you will reach the Yin and Yang Realm. Standing on the plank road and looking at the blue sky and the distant snowy mountains, all your fatigue will disappear at this moment. If you are lucky, you can still encounter lively and lovely little squirrels here.

The plank road is not only the connection between the front mountain and the back mountain, but also the dividing line between the Sichuan Basin and the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. So if you catch a good weather, you can see completely different scenes on both sides of the mountain. On one side, there will be clear skies, and on the other side, clouds and mist are steaming.

about accommodations

This time, I stayed at a hotel booked in the scenic area with my friends. In fact, there are hotels in Yingxue Square and Riyueping, but in order to make it easier to watch the sunrise, I stayed in the Shoufeng Bieyuan of Riyueping.

The overall environment of the room feels very warm, and the decoration style is also European, clean and spacious.

Since the hotel is located in a scenic area and has an excellent geographical advantage, you can enjoy the beautiful scenery of Xiling Snow Mountain by opening the window in the room.

about gourmet

In addition to experiencing various projects in Yingxue Square, you must also taste the special cuisine here. So, I came to this tourist restaurant with my friends near noon. There were not many good people. The location of the restaurant is easy to find, just next to the cableway entrance halfway up the mountain. The restaurant is on the first floor.

The best thing to eat is this rattan pepper beef tongue. The beef tongue has a unique Q-bullet feeling. Under the dual cooperation of rattan pepper oil and green pepper, it is spicy and delicious, and the more you eat it, the more delicious it becomes.

You must also eat boiled cuttlefish that is delicious and delicious. The cuttlefish that has been filled with the soup is tender, smooth and refreshing, and it is really like.

The black pepper beef made with black pepper is full of aroma. In one bite, the juice overflows, crispy outside and tender inside.

The super appetizing sour soup and fat beef is also a must-order dish every time you eat.

The most classic boiled fish in Sichuan cuisine can be said to be endless. The fragrant boiled fish must be poured with boiling hot oil before serving to release the aroma of dried peppers and pepper to the greatest extent, so that it will be very enjoyable to eat.

In the evening, I ate the newly launched boiling soup pot in the restaurant downstairs of the hotel, and I was full of happiness. Because Xiling Snow Mountain has a plateau climate, the temperature difference between morning and evening is still relatively large, so at night, I want to eat a steaming meal to reward myself even more.

There are three flavors at the bottom of the pot: red soup, mushroom soup, and bean soup. Then you can order a large table of dishes you want to eat: shrimp dumplings, tripe, duck blood, lunch meat, fat beef, duck blood...

All the ingredients were also purchased on the same day. They were very fresh, and you could rinse whatever you like. Remember the formula of seven ups and eight downs when scalding the tripe, and the taste will be just right.

What Shabu likes to eat most is fat beef, which is mixed with fat and lean. It is fished out from the bottom of the pot and finally dipped in special chili noodles. After taking a bite, a sense of happiness immediately comes to my heart. The key is that the more you eat, the more delicious it becomes. It is simply addictive.
