Xiling Snow Mountain is the largest in Chengdu Within the territory of Yi County, it is named after the eternal quatrain of the poet Du Fu, "The window contains the snow of the Xiling Mountains for thousands of autumns." The snow-capped mountains are now very primitive and ecologically preserved. In the middle of winter, they are covered with snow and thousands of miles of snow drifts.

There is a shuttle bus from Chengdu Jinsha Station to Xueshan Ski Resort, which takes 3 hours.

The snow mountain is divided into front mountain and back mountain. Tickets for the front mountain are 30 yuan and 120 yuan for the back mountain. The back mountain is more beautiful and there are ski resorts to visit. The scenic spot only charges tickets in the peak season of December and January, February and March. , it is best to go in late November, when you can already see a certain amount of snow.

If you want to visit in one day, it is recommended to take the one-way ropeway. You can also book it on the official website. If you don’t plan on skiing and other recreational activities, it is recommended to hike to the top from the front mountain, which takes at least 5 hours, which is quite physically demanding, and then take the ropeway down the mountain quickly from the back mountain, which can save the entrance fee to the back mountain.

It is recommended to bring enough dry food and water. They are very expensive on the mountain. Try to avoid holidays during the peak season. Tickets and accommodation will increase in price, and you will have to queue up for skiing.

It is recommended to stay in Huashui Bay on the first day. There are hotels, guesthouses and B&Bs there. There are accommodations of different prices. You can visit a few more. The most important thing is that you can soak in hot springs at night. You can ask where you live which hot spring is better. If you don't have a group purchase, you can ask locals to help you buy it, which can save a little money.

The most important thing is that you can queue up at Xiling Snow Mountain early the next day. We were staying at Chengdu South Railway Station at the time. Even though we took the train early in the morning, when we arrived, the queue was already in sight and there was a sign at the front that indicated at least two hours. My heart feels so cold.

And you have to queue up and down the mountain. Therefore, staying in Huashui Bay can save at least 2 hours of queuing time. The ski resort is a bit tricky, because the timer starts from the moment you buy a ticket and enter. You have to get your shoes and locker keys first. There are thousands of lockers and you have to find your locker and change your shoes. Put things away and waste time. However, the time to return shoes starts from the time you hand them over to the staff, which usually takes close to half an hour.

So be sure to hurry up~ the facilities inside are quite complete.

Many people will ask where to buy return tickets?

Return tickets cannot be purchased on this bus ticketing website.

There is no special place to buy direct return tickets in Xiling Snow Mountain.

So there are three ways to buy a return ticket:

1. Buy a return ticket for the next afternoon at Xinnanmen/Chadianzi Station before departure.

2. The latest direct bus to the scenic spot usually leaves around three or four in the afternoon. If you have not purchased a ticket in advance, you can write down the phone number of the bus driver and ask him if there are any seats for the return trip. , in this case try to ask in advance.

3. To transfer, first take a bus from Xiling Snow Mountain to Dayi Station, and then return to Chengdu from Dayi. However, the latest train from Dayi to Chengdu is at 18:00, so you need to make sure to arrive at Dayi Station before then.

The cableway of Xiling Snow Mountain is divided into two sections. The first section is the Yuanyangchi Cableway (120 yuan round trip). If you want to go to the ski resort, you can only take this section; the latter section is the transportation ropeway (60 yuan round trip, leading to the top of the mountain.

It has the largest drop in Asia. The ropeway takes 40 minutes, and you can directly enjoy the experience from the bottom of the mountain to the clouds. The scenery can only be described as stunning.

There are more than one person queuing up to take the ropeway up the mountain, and the entrance is surrounded by railings. We got the S type and everyone lined up to wait in line.

We waited in line for almost an hour before moving to the Yuanyangchi cableway. The Yuanyangchi cableway is a multi-person gondola, divided into two sides. It can accommodate 4-5 people.

The ropeway is very fast, and you can only see a foggy scene through the glass~

There are really few people taking the ropeway. There are few, so most people here are skiers.

But it is really a pity to miss the world on the top of the mountain.

There is only one hotel on the top of the mountain. , according to the tour guide on the car when we arrived, the house price at the top of the mountain is even as high as one thousand one night in the peak season...

The ultraviolet rays and wind above are very strong, so it is best to bring a hat and sunglasses. Sometimes looking at the white snow for a long time can hurt your eyes.

This trip to Xiling Snow Mountain was really more amazing than I imagined, even though the time was a little rushed and I was freezing in the ice and snow. It took so long, but it was worth it.
