Is it better to live at the foot of Xishan Snow Ridge or halfway up the mountain?

It is better to live halfway up the mountain in Xishan Snow Mountain

If you want to go to the mountains, it is definitely more convenient to live in Xiling Snow Mountain. Because after all, the scenic spot is relatively large, so there is enough time to play. Accommodation in Xiling Snow Mountain is mainly concentrated in Yingxue Plaza (ski resort) halfway up the mountain. These are basically relatively expensive hotels. Because it is in the mountain, materials are relatively expensive and the conditions are not necessarily proportional to the cost. If you want to enjoy both skiing and mountain climbing, staying here is the most convenient place.

There are some hotels and farmhouses at the foot of the mountain. This one is cheaper and has more dining options. Relatively speaking, the price/performance ratio is higher. But it is suitable for skiing and mountaineering, because if you want to do both skiing and mountaineering, you need to go up the mountain twice, which requires taking the cable car up and down every day. You can compare the round-trip cost of the cable car and the price difference between accommodation halfway up the mountain and accommodation at the foot of the mountain.

There is a hotel in Riyueping in the high mountain section, and it is also the most expensive. If you don’t consider watching the sunrise, it is not recommended to stay. And even if you stay, you may not be able to see the sunrise.
