Wawushan Mountain Area

Wawushan near Chengdu is a great place to see the snow, it's been very popular recently! We went there on the third day of the Lunar New Year, and had to queue for the cable car for an hour and a half. If you want to take photos, I suggest staying in a nearby hotel the night before and getting on the mountain as soon as the cable car opens at 7.30. The first cable car takes 18 minutes to get halfway up the mountain, the fog is quite heavy and there's no sunlight, visibility is low. I personally don't think there's much to photograph, I suggest hurrying to the next cable car. If you have time on the way back, you can take a look around. The second cable car takes 15 minutes to reach the top of the mountain. The weather was great when we went, as long as it's clear, the mountain is very beautiful. After that, just walk around and take photos. If you get up early, you're lucky enough to see the golden sea of clouds~

It's about a 2-hour self-drive from Chengdu. People from the south can also feel the charm of the northern scenery. Clothing suggestions: Try to wear brightly colored clothes, they look good in photos (scarves and hats can also be blue or red) White and yellow clothes are not recommended as they don't expose well. Items: Sunglasses🕶, non-slip shoes, sunscreen, hand warmers, thermos Unexpected encounters with dance parades in the scenic area, Qiang ethnic group bonfire dance interaction During the Spring Festival, there will also be snow music concerts, God of Wealth sending blessings and other interactive performances. Recommended spots: The first stop is to check in at the Rhododendron Garden to watch the sunrise and sea of clouds. With the blessing of heavy snow, it looks exceptionally beautiful. The second stop can be the Mandarin Duck Pool Ice and Snow Lake Scenery Alpine Frozen Lake, Seeing the ice lake and snow scenery in the south really gives a visual shock. It is worthy of being the largest table mountain in Asia. The third stop can go to the Xiang'er Snow Field. There are many check-in projects here, Such as snow rafting, children's playground, snowmobiles, etc., Different groups of people can experience different skiing experiences. The fourth stop can go to Lanxi Icefall. This icefall is quite shocking, all of which are formed by huge waterfalls. It's really super fun, I'm going to go again before the Spring Festival

🌨 Traveler Henry Wilson wrote in his book 'A Naturalist in Western China': 'The top of Wawushan Mountain is like a tabletop, and it looks like a huge ark floating above the clouds and mist from a distance.' Therefore, Wawushan Mountain is known as the 'Noah's Ark above the clouds and mist.' 🌨 As a southerner, the friends who came to Wawushan with me were even amazed by the snow scene here, exclaiming that it was 'more beautiful than Hokkaido!' ☃❄ Although Wawushan Mountain is beautiful in all four seasons, if you can only choose one season to come here, it must be the winter ice and snow festival! 🏂 Easy snow play without high altitude sickness Wawushan Mountain is more than 2800 meters above sea level, and a family can easily play.

Because I slept until I naturally woke up, I didn't get to Wawushan Mountain until noon. After taking two cable car rides to the summit, even though the altitude is 2800 meters, the sunshine was bright and I didn't feel cold. The blue sky and white clouds are a natural healing presence, and the crunching snow underfoot was refreshing! At the observation deck, looking up at the sacred Mount Gongga, it truly deserves the title of 'King of the Shu Mountains', with its majestic and robust presence standing tall among the clouds, I was in awe. Walking further, I came across the 'Lantern Trail' (a name I coined myself), this part of the trail was always under the sunlight, without ice and snow, and both sides were adorned with lanterns, probably for the Spring Festival. Holding a lantern, I made a wish for a lifetime of happiness. Reaching the Mandarin Duck Pond, the water was shimmering. It's actually a lake but is called a pond, perhaps because it seems petite on Wawushan Mountain. The lake under the blue sky and white clouds is always beautiful, and aside from the water, the side near Taiqing Palace was half-frozen, maybe it's because of the serene atmosphere, which invites contemplation. On a whim, I left the flat trail and took a mountain path where the snow was deeper. I wasn't careful and my phone fell to the ground, sliding down five or six steps, but luckily the case was thick and it wasn't damaged. The mountain path was shorter in distance but not in time, yet the scenery was uniquely beautiful. It takes 3 hours to complete the loop at the top of Wawushan Mountain. Due to time constraints, I didn't get to see the ice waterfall, leaving something to yearn for, I'll come back next tim

Wawushan, about 3 hours drive from Chengdu. Located in Hongya County, Meishan City, standing on the bank of Yanu Lake, it is one of the most famous table mountains in China (the other is the undeveloped Dawashan). From December to February of the following year, it is the best time to watch and play with snow in Wawushan. The recent strong cold wave is coming, are you ready to see the snow? 🚙Travel| How to go to Wawushan to see the snow? There are many ways to go to Wawushan to see the snow. In addition to self-driving, many travel agencies in Chengdu have one-day/two-day tour groups and direct buses to Wawushan. If you take the bus by yourself, the Xinnanmen Bus Station also has buses to go there during the peak season, and you can choose according to the situation. Guide| How to play with snow in Wawushan? Wawushan is divided into low mountain area, middle mountain area and high mountain area. The scenery such as rime is mostly concentrated in the high mountain area on the top of the mountain, and you need to take two cable cars (Jinhua Bridge and Gufoping Cable Car) to reach it. The price of Wawushan high mountain area ticket + two cable cars is 236 yuan; the price of Wawushan middle mountain area ticket + cable car is 148 yuan, which can only reach Gufoping halfway up the mountain. It is recommended to go to the high mountain area for winter play. If you buy tickets for free travel, you can choose a channel with higher cost performance or early bird tickets. In contrast, I think the cost-effectiveness of group travel (which can be exempted from tickets) is higher. ⛄Dress| What to wear to see snow in Wawushan? The climate of Wawushan in winter is cold, and the temperature is different between the top and bottom of the mountain. The Yanu Lake at the foot of the mountain is rippling with blue waves, but the top of the mountain is covered with silver, so you must prepare thick clothes, preferably storm jackets or down jackets. Warm hats, scarves, gloves, etc. can also be brought along. Wawushan is a typical table mountain. After taking the cable car to the top of the mountain, the attractions along the way are very flat, and the play is basically not tired, so don't worry about walking hot after wearing thick. In addition to playing with snow on the top of the mountain, the main attractions include Lantern Corridor, Mandarin Duck Pool, Xiaoyao Bridge, Xiang'er Manor, Lanxi Waterfall, etc. For more detailed scenic spot play routes, update the next note on the homepage. 🏡Food and accommodation| What to eat and where to stay in Wawushan to see the snow? Whether it is eating or accommodation in Wawushan, it is very convenient. In terms of catering, you can dine outside the gate of the scenic spot, halfway up the mountain at Gongtong Manor, and at the top of the mountain at Xiang'er Manor. But if it is a one-day tour from Chengdu, it is recommended to bring your own meals, because the whole journey time is slightly tight. Compared with a one-day tour, the two-day tour of Wawushan is more relaxed. You can visit Liujiang Ancient Town along the way, and then stay by Yanu Lake. The next morning, you can go up the mountain to see the snow scene, and the time is more ample. If you want to watch the sunrise, there are campsites and hotels on the top of Wawushan for selection. In terms of food, the local fish is quite distinctive.

Bring your favorite person, the scenery here is uniquely beautiful. I have been to Wawushan many times, the scenery is beautiful and the people are even more beautiful. Sichuan's love for snow is something that can't be hidden. And Wawushan offers you a snow season that is serene and quite forest-like. It takes about three hours to drive from Chengdu, take the cable car up the mountain, and be sure to bring warm clothing and photography equipment. Of course, unless you have a high budget or want a comfortable trip, it is recommended to stay at the foot of the mountain. You can also enjoy a hot spring bath in the evening. If you are on a limited budget, then just stop by and go up. Staying in the towns along the way or in the city are both good choices.

In early May, the Lanxi Cliff Plank Road in the Wawu Mountain Scenic Area, located within Hongya County, Meishan City, Sichuan Province, opens to tourists, attracting many to experience it. Since 2022, the scenic area has been constructing a 'Z'-shaped plank road on the basalt cliffs, connecting the Lanxi Waterfall with the Mid-Mountain Gallery, creating a tourism loop in the mid-to-high mountain area. The total length of the Lanxi Cliff Plank Road and the Mid-Mountain Gallery Plank Road is about 4.5 kilometers, with an altitude difference of about 310 meters. One side is a sheer cliff, and the other is an abyss, offering the best route to appreciate the geological wonder of the great cliff of 'mesa' Wawu Mountain. Wawu Mountain has a nearly 11 square kilometer tabletop-like mountain plateau, earning it the reputation of 'Cloud-topped Wawu, the most beautiful mesa.'
