Winter wonderlands worth visiting
1. Jiuzhaigou
Jiuzhaigou is known for its unique high mountain landscape, colorful lakes, waterfalls, and forests, and is hailed as a 'heaven on earth'. In autumn and winter, Jiuzhaigou is colorful, with waterfalls, lakes, and red leaves complementing each other, making it a sight to behold.
Jiuzhaigou is also an ecological treasure trove, with a wealth of wild animal and plant resources. Such as golden monkeys, snow leopards, and a variety of plants are hidden deep in the mountains. As a settlement of Tibetans and Qiang people, they have retained a rich traditional culture and customs.
2. Kanas
Spectacular snow mountains, blue lakes, golden grasslands, and rich animal and plant resources. Autumn and winter in Kanas, from colorful forests to a fairy tale world carved by ice and snow. It changes into infinite beauty throughout the four seasons.
Winter is long and cold, and winter in Kanas is covered with ice and snow. The scattered log cabins, the silver birch forest, the flowing meltwater, the rime hanging between the branches of the trees, constitute the god's self-retained land Hemu. The ancient Tuvan people guard their Baihaba.
3. Wangmangling
'If you don't climb Wangmangling, you won't know the Taihang Mountains, the world's strange peaks gather, why climb the Five Mountains'. Winter in Wangmangling is like a fairyland, with winter snow, rime, sea of clouds, sunrise, like a fairy tale winter in Wangmangling, beautiful and romantic. The mountains are full of pine trees, willow trees, and grasses are covered with rime and icicles, even the railings, pavilions, and stones are covered with a layer of ice flowers, there is a chill in the breath, and the eyes are like glass.
4. Emei Mountain
Winter in Emei Mountain is the most spiritual season of the year, like a dream. The soft snow scene and the misty hot springs at the foot of the mountain complement each other, making people yearn for it. The temples on the high mountains also add a bit of Zen, 'Clouds surround half of the mountain with snow, and flowers spit out a stream of smoke', which refers to Emei Mountain after the snow.
The Golden Summit has always been regarded as a heaven on earth by everyone. Looking up at the Golden Buddha, overlooking the sea of clouds, winter in Emei is the best time to watch, sunrise often accompanies the sea of clouds, and Buddha's light always likes to appear inadvertently.
5. Huangshan
Winter in Huangshan is the most beautiful and romantic season of the year. The strange pines and strange stones are dressed in silver, and they enter the world of ice and snow overnight, as the saying goes, 'Huangshan has beautiful scenery in all four seasons, but the winter scenery is even better'.
Rime, sea of clouds, snow scene, the clouds in the mountains under the 'favor' of winter, the water vapor condenses and adheres to everything on the top of the mountain, the mountains, strange stones are all in a daze, the white jade clothes are shining, and the eyes of the tourists are all ice flowers. World.
6. Yichun Kuerbin Rime
In addition to Jilin, Heilongjiang's Yichun also has rime. The rime in the Yichun Kuerbin Rime Scenic Area, when the sun shines through the morning mist into the forest, the ice and snow on the tree will emit a crystal light, a unique world, and it feels worth the hardship of coming. If you visit in the early morning, the mist is lingering, watching the best time for the rime to form, like a string of treasures hanging on the tree trunk
7. Gannan
Like Tibet, winter in Gannan belongs to him and all believers. Snow in Gannan, thousands of mountains and white snow, monks in red. The once brilliant grassland is dressed in silver, and the Yellow River, Tao River, Daxia River, and Bailong River are jade trees and jasper carvings at this time. After the snow in Gannan, it is quiet but not lacking in warmth,
Golden Temple - Nestled above the clouds!
⛩️🏯Nestled atop a mist-covered mountain, the Golden Temple is a divine marvel that captivates the soul. On a rainy day, its ethereal beauty emerges through the veil of clouds, with temples appearing and disappearing like apparitions.
🏔️ To reach this celestial sanctuary, a one and a half hour bus ride from Baoguo temple transports you to Leidongping, followed by an invigorating hour and a half uphill walk or a convenient cable car ascent. Opting for the walk, I relished every step, surrounded by serenity and tranquility. As I ascended, the air grew colder, demanding preparation for the summit.
🌄 The Golden Temple itself, adorned in resplendent gold, exudes a breathtaking radiance that beholds the beholder. For the intrepid, staying in one of the mini monasteries adds an adventurous touch. Alternatively, the top houses a selection of hotels, allowing the fortunate to witness awe-inspiring sunsets and sunrises. This sacred mountain attracts devotees and pilgrims from across China, seeking spiritual solace. Should you desire to offer incense or candles, I recommend procuring them in the town, as temple prices are steep.

In the Mahayana Buddhism, there is no Dharma in the highest realm. The three Buddhas in the Huayan world are the Vishnu Buddha, the wonderful auspicious bodhisattva, and the Manjushri Bodhisattva and the Ten-Party Samantabhadra. Yamano-kun, with his love for the Dharma, loved the house and came to the Emei Mountain of the Dojo's Dojo. In Buddhism, the Samantabhadra Bodhisattva means great morality and practice throughout the legal world. It is a practice of the great wisdom of Manjusri and the Buddha of the Nirvana in the big world. Therefore, coming to Mount Emei will take this practice as the outline of the mentality.
In fact, Shan Yejun and Puxian Bodhisattva are not too close, and Emei Mountain is a deeper fate.
During the time I arrived at Mount Emei, the weather was excellent. When I left, the climate changed dramatically. From the bright sunshine of Wanli Wanlitian to the scene of the mist.
Emei Mountain is known as the Silver World in winter. The Emei Mountain after the snow is a dream that has just been awakened. The snow is pressed against the green trees, and the ice crystals are wrapped in safflower, showing a beauty that cannot be revealed by the snow in the north. At the beginning of December every year, when the snow fluttering in Emei Mountain, from the top of the mountain to the foot of the mountain, the snow slowly infiltrates and condenses, naturally showing the strange shapes it creates; from the golden dome overlooking the Gongga Snow Mountain, the mountains are full of silver. Packed up.
Winter Emei Mountain has become the most amazing place in the world. There are Yabuli-like ice and snow, Jilin-like smog, and more Hainan-like sunshine. The snow in the north is too rough, and the whole earth is covered with the whole world. The world is white, and there is a lack of grace and flexibility. The snow in the south, too far from Sven, seems to be hidden in the deep girl, unable to find her figure. Only the snow of Mount Emei is not unrestrained, but it is more gentle. The two are perfectly combined, so that you can't stop thinking and can't help but revel in the hot springs that are known as the nobles in the hot springs. The largest alpine ski resort in southwestern China; the winter gathering here is the most beautiful and fascinating landscape between heaven and earth.
Mount Emei in Sichuan is Great 🇨🇳♥️
#chinatrip
The attack on Mount Emei is so complicated. Before leaving, I read a lot of attacks on Xiaohongshu, and my eyes were dazzled with confusion. After going there, I realized that the journey was actually very simple. The main routes up the mountain were completed in two ways: O Baoguo Temple, Fuhu Temple, and Qingyin Pavilion (you can take a car to Leidongping in the nearby Wuxiangang parking lot), Wannian Temple (you can take a car to Leidongping in the nearby Wannian Temple parking lot), oneb Leidongping (you can take a car to another station/you can take a cableway to Jinding), and one Jinding (you can claim a way to Leidongping). Q Baoguo Temple, Fuhu Temple, and one Qingyin 99. The road turns one in one, Leidongping, and Jinding (if you depart from Huangwan Tourist Center, you can directly connect to Qingyin Pavilion, and if you drive to zero kilometers, you can directly transfer to Leidongping). Before deciding to hike, you really need to think clearly. There is not a single attack that is so easy to write. It takes an ordinary person about three hours to escape and stop from Baoguo Temple to Qingyin Pavilion. For those who travel from Baoguo Temple to Wannian Temple for only two to three hours at most, they should be shot to death

May Day holiday third stop: Emei Mountain
➊ Tickets for the entrance, sightseeing bus (round trip), Jinding cable car (upward), and Jinding cable car (downward) all need to be purchased separately.
❷ There are two entrances for the Jinding cable car, the circulating type and the reciprocating type. Both can go downward. The circulating type fits 6 people per car, and the reciprocating type fits 100 people per car. The former is boarded at the upward station, while the latter is boarded at the tourist center after visiting the Golden Summit. Both are called Jinding cable car [Be sure not to buy the Wannian cable car by mistake, the Wannian cable car is halfway up the mountain).
❸ The uphill boarding point at Baoguo Temple Passenger Center is next to the food street, with a total duration of 2 hours, no stops in between. If you get carsick, be sure to sit in the front row. The downhill trip only goes to and you need to transfer to the scenic area bus to get to Baoguo Temple--Baoguo Temple Passenger Center-Emei Mountain High-speed Train Station. The last bus from Leidongping returns at 5:30 pm, be sure to catch it, otherwise, you can only stay at Leidongping.
❹ Inside the Leidongping Passenger Center, there are free QR code-scannable walking sticks available for use. If you miss it, be sure to buy a bamboo pole to assist with climbing. It's very, very tiring to walk to the cable car.
❺ There are human-powered sedans for climbing at Leidongping, costing 480/person for going up the mountain, and 380/person for going down.
❻ We were 2 adults and 1 child, arriving at Baoguo Temple Passenger Station at 9 am, and returning to the starting point at 6 pm. The total time for ascending and descending the mountain was 4 hours, climbing for 1.5 hours, queuing for the cable car for 1.5 hours, and playing at the Golden Summit for 2 hours.
⑦ The postcards in the Jinding cultural and creative store are very beautiful, and there is a mailbox where you can affix stamps and mail them out.

The most beautiful Mount Emei! Sunrise, sea of clouds, Buddha's light, holy lamp! It can truly amaze everyone
Covered in snow, the Buddha's land is draped in silver.
Hearing about the heavy snow on Mount Emei yesterday, I went up the mountain to worship today. Sitting in the car, I dozed off, and when I opened my eyes, I was already in the snowy Buddha world~ The forests dressed in silver, the steep cliffs, and the Samantabhadra Bodhisattva on the golden summit, shocked my eyes and cleansed my heart's stream

💡Important Tips
❓Where is it good to stay
If you have a sufficient budget, it's best to stay at the Golden Summit to see the sunrise. Next is staying at Leidongping, where there are many hostels (budget hotel level), and you have to leave for the Golden Summit at six in the morning.
Additionally, every temple on the mountain offers accommodation, which requires a ☎️contact.
❓Can you take a bus directly up the mountain at Mount Emei Station?
No. But there is a 🆓shuttle bus inside the station that takes you to Huangwan, about 15 minutes.
❓Is it better to walk up or down the mountain?
Taking the cable car up the mountain saves energy, it takes about 3 hours to climb up, but only 3 minutes by cable car. Walking down the mountain also takes 2 hours, if you don't have the physical strength, it's recommended to take the cable car both up and down.
Although walking down the mountain is hard, the snow scenery along the way is very beautiful.
❓Can you take the cable car directly up the mountain from Leidongping?
No. You have to walk 1.5 km of mountain road from Leidongping to reach the cable car station, which is very difficult to walk on in winter due to ice, about half an hour.
❓Do you have to queue for 2 hours for the cable car?
For the round-trip cable car, it's about a 20-minute queue, 100 people per trip; for the circulating cable car, there are fewer people, basically no queue, just a little more walking. The price is the same.
❓Is it better to drive or take a bus up the mountain?
Taking the bus is better, it stops at a rest station about every hour, where you can use the restroom and get food supplies. If you drive, you can only go to zero kilometers, and you still have to take the bus up the mountain.
❓Can you hike up Mount Emei?
Of course. It takes about 13 hours to hike up from Baoguo Temple.
❓Is it necessary to buy ice grips?
In winter, the mountain roads are all icy, and you definitely need them, otherwise, you'll slip every ten steps. Leidongping has them for sale everywhere, 10💰.
❓Is there food on the mountain?
There is food for sale all the way up, and Huazang Temple at the summit also has vegetarian meals.
There are many restaurants in Leidongping, all of which taste good, and 🦘 is very cost-effective.
❓Is it cold on the mountain?
It's not cold, the mountain is very sunny, a down jacket is enough. But it's very cold watching the sunrise in the morning, so put on a hat and gloves.
‼️Check the weather forecast before going up the mountain, you can't see anything on the Golden Summit on non-sunny days.
Golden Summit in the clouds, Emei Mountain under the sky
Emei Mountain travel guide, nanny-level guide for Emei Mountain travel📍
We arrived at Emei Mountain on the first day, stayed near Baoguo Temple station, strolled around, ate something, soaked in a hot spring (Lingxiu Hot Spring, the environment is quite good, both indoor and outdoor), went out for some late-night snacks and then went back to the hotel to sleep.
The second day, we got up at 6:10 in the morning to pack up, wash and make up, left at 6.45 to catch the earliest 7 o'clock bus to Leidongping. When we got there, many people were already lining up, so if you want to go up the mountain early, you must leave early.
After going down the mountain, we found a Niu Hua hot pot restaurant, paired with Emei Snow, a must-drink in Emei, lychee flavored, awesome👍
💙Travel guide
👉Baoguo Temple Station—Leidongping 07:00~09:00 About two hours by car
👉Walk 1.5 kilometers from Leidongping, about half an hour, to the cable car station to the Golden Summit
👉The cable car takes 100 people at a time, maybe because we went early, there was no queue, the cable car is very fast, about 5 minutes
👉After getting off the cable car, walk for about 15 minutes to reach the Golden Summit
When you reach the entrance of the Golden Summit Hotel, there will be a fork in the road. I went up from the left and then circled around the Golden Summit. There are very few people on the left and it's very photogenic. Most of my photos were taken here.
👉We wanted to see the scenery when we went down the mountain, so we chose to walk, enjoying the beautiful scenery along the way, taking photos, playing in the snow❄️ It takes about 2 hours from the Golden Summit to Leidongping (if you choose to walk down the mountain, be sure to pay attention to the time, the last bus down the mountain is at 18:00, be sure to manage your time well)
⚠️If you want to see the sunrise, it's best to stay in Leidongping or directly on the mountain top.
❤️Things to bring
✅After snowing, waterproof shoe covers and ice claws are too important, you must buy them, you can buy them at the foot of the mountain, ice claws are 10 yuan, waterproof shoe covers are 20 yuan, it's more expensive to buy on the mountain
✅Mask (required to wear a mask on the bus, not required after getting off), sunglasses (to prevent snow glare, also looks good in photos), gloves (must wear gloves, otherwise your hands will freeze), hat (the wind is strong, wear a hat to prevent your head from being blown and hurt, it's best to cover your ears, I wore a beret, my ears were too cold in the windy places)
✅Outfit: I wore a thermal top➕knitted base shirt➕fur coat, pants were thermal pants➕fleece slit pants, shoes were snow boots with waterproof shoe covers, I wasn't cold at all during the whole journey, even sweated
Cost💰
Scenic area ticket: 110/person
Sightseeing bus: 90/person
Upward cable car: 30/person
Downward cable car: 20/person
I went there on January 6, 2023. There was a discount for off-season tickets.
Warm reminder⚠️Be sure to check the weather forecast before you go, choose to go on a sunny day, sunrise, sea of clouds, blue sky, white snow, it's really photogenic, every shot is a wallpaper.
❄️Our way of playing is relatively relaxed, staying at the foot of the mountain to soak in the hot spring, eating some snacks, going up the mountain by cable car the next day, walking down the mountain, seeing the same beautiful scenery, very relaxed
2D1N on splendid Mt Emei
Still wondering if you should stay overnight on Mt Emei? I would say, just do it. It takes more than 2 hours to get to the summit from the Visitor Center, with a combination of shuttle bus, 1.5km trekking and ropeway up. In order to fully enjoy the temple grounds when on the summit, I highly recommend an overnight stay so that you explore the grounds at a leisure pace and there are better photo opportunities when crowds thin after 5pm when they rush to take the last ropeway down at 6pm. The Sea of Clouds are best taken in the afternoon around 3-4pm.
I stayed at Yunhai Jinlong hotel, clean rooms and friendly staff, totally recommend!
Scenery on the journey to Mount Emei in Chengdu|||Chengdu trip~~
|||Chengdu trip~~. Due to road snow, private cars are prohibited from going up the mountain.
Staying at the Hilton Hotel is 1.5 kilometers away from Huangwan, a 10-minute journey.
Take a bus up the mountain at Huangwan.
Book the round-trip bus ticket (Huangwan-Leidongping) and the round-trip cable car ticket from Leidongping to the Golden Summit in advance in the mini program. This is the most energy-saving way. If you don't get a ticket, don't buy it on the spot, you can't buy it at all, so you must book in advance. Bring your ID.
It takes about 2 hours for the bus to reach Leidongping, and you need to walk 1.5 kilometers. Because it snowed a few days ago, the scenery along the way is particularly beautiful, and the mountains are covered with snow. The road is very slippery, climbing the mountain requires shoe covers, and for safety, ice claws can also be equipped (shoe cover parking lot vendors 12 yuan, scenic ice claws 20-50 vary). If the shoes are not professional waterproof, you still need to prepare a shoe cover. Our ice claws were at the bus station, and we met a couple coming down the mountain. They felt it was a pity to throw them away, so they kindly gave us the ice claws and bamboo crutches. The queue time for the uphill cable car and the downhill cable car starts at 1 hour. The cable car is 5 minutes equivalent to a distance of 6.5 kilometers. After getting off the cable car, climb another 20-30 minutes to reach the Golden Summit. The weather was very good that day, the snow was covered under the clouds, the sun was abundant above the clouds, there was no snow, the golden light was shining, and the sea of clouds was boundless. The whole process was very exciting for the children, and it was worth the trip.
It needs to be reminded that the altitude of Mount Emei is 3089 meters. After the uphill cable car arrives, it is easy to have altitude sickness. Pay attention to your own situation at any time. The children who went with us had altitude sickness and felt uncomfortable. When the downhill cable car was applied for a green channel with the staff. After going down, the body gradually recovered. We queued for about 1.5 hours for the cable car on the mountain.
When going down the mountain, at the first rest station, I saw several monkeys🐒, turning over the trash can, and tourists feeding. But everyone was in good order and kept a distance from the monkeys. Continue down the mountain along the original road, reach the bus station, go down the mountain slightly faster in less than 2 hours, and reach Huangwan Station.
The tourist bus has been sliding down the mountain in fourth gear, plus various smells in the car, and those who usually don't get carsick also feel nauseous. There are many stalls in the parking lot, and the 10 yuan three catties of Ba Ba mandarin are particularly delicious, sour and sweet, icy and cool, and can "detox".
Go out at 8 o'clock, and it is already more than 6 o'clock in the evening when you finally leave Huangwan parking lot, about 10 hours. (I have seen netizens say that the tourist bus also queues for a long time, if so, the time will be longer. We didn't need to queue for both round trips this time, and the car would start when it was full.
For reference only.
