It's the alternate season of winter and spring again!

There are already grass growing and orioles flying in Dali Dam, and flowers are clustered, but ice and snow are still stationed on the top of Cangshan Mountain.

The top of the mountain and the dam, which are less than two kilometers apart in altitude, are two completely different worlds. One is still sleeping in winter and the other is waking up in spring.

A few snowfalls in winter have changed Cangshan Mountain. While the snow has not melted, I personally went to the Ximatan on the top of Cangshan Mountain to have a look at this Cangshan Snow that is popular among the world!

The cableway leading to Ximatan is the Cangshan Ximatan Grand Cableway. The place to take the cableway is located on the side of Tianlong Babu Film and Television City.

The cableway is 5555 meters long and has an altitude difference of more than 1600 meters. It is divided into lower station, middle station and upper station. The middle station is Qilongnongchi Station. You need to take the cableway from the lower station to the middle station and transfer to the top of the mountain.

It is steep, steep, piercing through clouds and fog, and piercing straight into the sky. The beautiful scenery is the biggest feature of this cableway, but not everyone can go to Cangshan Mountain at an altitude of nearly 4000 meters, because the Ximatan cableway is usually only open halfway in windy weather. It is impossible to reach the top of the mountain.

Sitting on the cableway, you will find the sunny Cangshan Mountain and the rolling mountains at hand. When you go up the Qilongnongchi Station, you will find scattered snow covering the ground and gradually spreading from halfway up the mountain to the top of the mountain.

The dark mountains contrast the white snow of Cangshan Mountain. The snow is piled up in deep ravines or on steep ridges, and the surrounding vegetation has faded its green color.

The cableway climbs up the mountain surface. The canyons formed by geological activities are so deep that no one can see the bottom. In such a shocking natural environment, people can't help but feel a sense of awe in their hearts.

The cableway flies over the steep cliff, slides over the gentle open forest, and finally stops steadily at the end of the cableway."You must start sightseeing immediately when you get off the cableway" is everyone's voice at this moment.

The door of the cableway car slowly opens, and the strong cold wind fills in it. Ice and snow magic strikes instantly. I feel that Ximatan is "beautiful and frozen", but the beautiful scenery you are about to see is worth moving forward against the cold!

After getting out of the cableway, there were not many buildings in the mountains. There was only a tourist path winding around the mountains, leading people to the highest point.

Thick ice and snow accumulated on the tour trail, tourists walked carefully on the road, and white snow also piled up on the fir trees, forming a common rime landscape in northern winter.

Most of the areas you can see are covered with snow and covered in silver, which is extremely enchanting. Visitors are amazed at this charming scenery.

The short several hundred meters of visiting the plank road is like a comic book, showing the charm of the snow scenery of Ximatan in multiple directions and angles. No matter where you are, you can feel the vastness and silence of Ximatan.

Follow the plank road and pass through two rest platforms and climb to the highest point. The terrain is gentle and steep. The tall vegetation is eclipsed by the strong contrast of white snow, and only the white sky can be seen in your eyes.

The wishing bell hanging next to the rest platform jingles, and colorful ribbons fly in the cold wind. The scenery at this time has a hint of holiness.

Sit on the bench where you rest, close your eyes and listen to the wind, and feel the wild Ximatan.

Slowly circle along the plank road and appreciate this small-scale "ice and snow world" created by nature alone, but it is no less than the snowy mountains where snow does not melt all year round. This may be the unique charm of Cangshan Snow!

Snow and flowers are two opposite seasonal scenery on the top of Cangshan Mountain.

The flowers in summer and the snow in winter and spring make up the seasonal natural landscape of Cangshan that people talk about most.

Appreciating snow in winter and spring, and appreciating flowers in summer have become a special tour itinerary for the Ximatan Cableway that has remained unchanged for many years.

In summer, azaleas on Cangshan burst into flower buds under the nourishment of rain. The entire Cangshan Mountain has become a world of azaleas from the mountainside to the top of the mountain. The western slope of Cangshan Mountain and Ximatan have become a sea of flowers.

Alpine rhododendrons silently bloomed their buds all over Cangshan Mountain. The flowers bloomed on the ridge, on the gentle slope, and slowly bloomed in the hearts of people who appreciated the flowers.

In summer, when the rain gradually increases on Cangshan Mountain, people are already waiting for the arrival of rhododendrons blooming.

When the rhododendrons were at their most gorgeous, people immediately took the Ximatan cableway to Cangshan to enjoy flowers and recorded the scene of the rhododendrons in Ximatan with their cameras.

There is no accurate time for rhododendrons to bloom near Ximatan. Because due to the influence of natural factors such as temperature, precipitation, etc., no one knows when it will fully release its buds. Moreover, the flowering period is very short, so most people can only look at pictures to enjoy their eyes.

Only people who have been paying attention to the flowering period will not miss it, but as long as they see it once, they will miss it and unconsciously pay attention to its flowering period.

The azaleas in Ximatan have no traces of artificial carving or external constraints. Any flower, branch, or cluster grow wantonly according to their own ideas.

Ximatan, full of azaleas, is like Ximatan after snowing. The scenery is beautiful and intoxicating!
