In 2022, some scenic spots in Kunming were temporarily closed due to snow and ice.

Affected by the snow and ice weather, a large area of roads in the scenic spot is frozen, and the snow is 40 cm thick. Some scenic spots are temporarily closed, so let's go and play when the weather improves! Which scenic spots are temporarily closed? See below for details.

1. The official WeChat account of Xishan Scenic Area reported on the morning of the 22nd that due to the snow and ice weather, the roads in Xishan Scenic Area were frozen in a large area, the scenic area was suspended from opening to the outside world, and the environmental protection bus was suspended. It is suggested that climbers should not enter the mountain for the time being, and the specific opening time will be announced later.

Introduction of scenic spots

Xishan is located in the west of Kunming, adjacent to Dianchi Lake, about 15 km away from the urban area. Dense forest, fresh and elegant environment, overlooking the vast Dianchi Lake, has always been a good place for Kunming people and tourists to climb mountains and see the scenery. Longmen Grottoes on the mountain are even more ancient and precious, and they are a must-see for tourists who love humanities.

There are many scenic spots in Xishan Scenic Area, among which Huating Temple, Taihua Temple, Nie Er Tomb and Sanqing Pavilion are all distinctive. From the entrance of the scenic spot, all the roads up the mountain are asphalt roads. You can see Dianchi Lake from time to time, and you can also encounter ancient temples such as Huating Temple and Taihua Temple. In addition, the air in the mountains is fresh and it is quite comfortable to wander. It takes about 2 hours to walk from the entrance to the top of the mountain. It is recommended to take the scenic eco-car directly to Longmen, and then slowly walk down the mountain after finishing Longmen, which is more relaxed.

Longmen refers to a stone carving project between Sanqing Pavilion in Xishan Mountain and Datiange at the top of the mountain. Thousands of steps along the way and reliefs, stone carvings and caves that can be seen everywhere along the way are all carved by Qing craftsmen with original tools. The whole project took 72 years to complete, which is amazing. Datian Pavilion is the commanding height of Longmen, with a special viewing platform. Standing on the platform, you can overlook 500 miles of Dianchi Lake. After the observation deck, you can reach the Xu Ling Pavilion, which is higher than the Tian Ge Pavilion and has a wider view. But the road is very open and flat. After the tour, you can take the Longmen cableway back to Taihua Mountain Villa halfway up the mountain.

Walk slowly along the mountain road next to Taihua Mountain Villa, and you will reach Nie Er's tomb not far away. There is a white marble statue of Nie Er and an exhibition hall. There is a jukebox with headphones in the museum. You can enjoy Nie Er's music and have a rest.

Then go to Taihua Temple and Huating Temple. The two temples were built in the Yuan Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty respectively. The main buildings such as the Bell and Drum Tower, the Heavenly King Hall and the Ursa Major Hall all rose with the mountain, making them look tall and majestic. The two temples are connected by the Taihua Ancient Road, and the mountain road on the stone steps is spacious and flat. During walking, you feel very quiet and far away, and you can also avoid people going up and down the mountain. Continue down, pass through Yulan Park and Saint Anting in turn, and you can return to the gate of the scenic spot.

2. Jiaozi Mountain Scenic Area starts from 2 1 night. It snowed heavily in Jiaozi Mountain Scenic Area. At present, the snow is 40 cm thick. The scenic spot announced that it will be temporarily closed today and tomorrow, and will be gradually opened in different regions on the 24th depending on the weather conditions.

According to the weather conditions, the Jiaozi Mountain Scenic Area is planned to be opened in different regions the day after tomorrow (24th), in which the area above 3,900 meters will be closed to the outside world, and the Sifangjing, Xiapingping and Daheiqing Scenic Areas will be gradually opened according to the cleaning conditions.

Introduction of scenic spots

Sedan Snow Mountain is located in the north of Kunming, and its main peak is 4223 meters above sea level. Winter is a snowy mountain. The natural landscape here is unique, with mountains, lakes and meadows of different sizes. Every spring, dozens of azaleas bloom, which is very beautiful. Winter is also a paradise for many hikers to climb mountains and ice.

It takes at least one day to visit all the scenic spots of the sedan chair snow mountain, and at least half a day at a glance, so many tourists will choose to leave Kunming first, stay in Zhuanlong Town at the foot of the sedan chair snow mountain for one night, and then go to the scenic spot the next morning.

Tickets for scenic spots include tickets for internal sections. After arriving at the scenic spot, you need to take a bus to reach Xiapingzi at an altitude of 3500 meters. It is suggested that you change the ropeway to the 3850-meter-long big black well in the scenic spot, which is too physical and time-consuming. It takes about 3 hours to climb the mountain from Daheijing to the top of the mountain. The top of the mountain is called sedan chair top, which is magnificent in summer and can enjoy the snow scene in winter. After visiting the top of the mountain, you can go back the same way, take a cableway or walk down the mountain.

Every spring, there will be a large area of azaleas in the sedan chair snow mountain, which is very beautiful. Rhododendrons are generally concentrated halfway up the mountain, and you can enjoy them without going to the top of the mountain.

Due to the recent extreme weather, the cruise ship of Panlong River was suspended for one day on February 22nd, 2022, which brought you inconvenience. Please forgive me!
