Visit Hailuogou in winter to see the snow~

Visit Hailuogou in winter to see the snow~❄️ Hailuogou, about 300 kilometers from Chengdu, is very suitable for a two-day or three-day weekend trip. Drive on the Chengya Expressway and transfer to the Yaxi Expressway. After exiting at Luding, there are more than 50 kilometers of provincial roads left, which are in fairly good condition, mainly winding mountain roads. Extra attention is needed at night. 1️⃣ Accommodation and Dining: For accommodation and dining, it's basically in Moxi Ancient Town. If you go up the mountain towards Hailuogou, there are some very exquisite homestays inside, mostly in the village, which can also be an option~ 2️⃣ Sightseeing Bus: You can't drive up to Hailuogou by yourself; you must buy tickets and sightseeing bus tickets at the Moxi Ancient Town Tourist Center Q to directly reach Camp 4. In winter, you can basically only take the cable car up as the snow is very thick~ 3️⃣ To the Camp: The snow is really thick, and it takes about 50 minutes for the bus to reach Camp 4. You can see the snowy scenery along the way, and the scenery along the route is also quite beautiful. 4️⃣ Camp 4: Taking the cable car up from Camp 4, you will pass by the glacier waterfall 🥶, which is all snow and ice. The visibility is quite good when the sun comes out, and the snow-capped mountains change with the clouds☁️, appearing and disappearing~ 5️⃣ Viewing Platform: After taking the cable car up, the main attractions are several viewing platforms and the Four-Faced Buddha and Guanyin. The snow is very thick, and the red stones are no longer visible. The main viewing platform is for watching the glacier and frozen waterfall, and the visual effect is quite impressive. The beauty of nature's reward is amazing~ 6️⃣ Travel Time: The whole trip doesn't take too much time, about 3-5 hours. This time we brought our own self-heating hot pot, which made the experience very fulfilling and perfect~ ❄️ Recommended Reason: The distance is very suitable for a short suburban trip to relax without getting tired~ The snowy scenery is quite beautiful~ If you don't stay in those 1000+ accommodations, the cost is not high~ The service in the scenic area is quite good~ In winter, the off-season means fewer people, discounted tickets, and really few people~ Didn't feel too cold, the altitude is over 3000 meters, and it's warm when the sun comes out~
