In addition to skiing, you can also enjoy the beauty of Bipenggou by hiking or taking a sightseeing bus. At this time, the lake, forests, snow-capped mountains and glaciers are sleeping peacefully in the embrace of ice and snow, with a quiet and serene beauty.
If you are tired from playing, you may want to go to Gulugou Hot Spring Hotel to take a bath, wash away the fatigue of the journey, and get rid of the smell of work.
Niubei Mountain has Asia's largest 360° snow mountain viewing platform, from which you can have a panoramic view of Bijia Mountain, Tianhaizi Mountain, Hengduan Mountains, and Gongga Snow Mountain, the highest peak in Sichuan.
Come to Niubei Mountain in winter and say goodbye to the clouds and fog of the rainy season. There are more sunny days at this time, with high visibility and good views. You are likely to see the golden mountain in the sun. If you are lucky, you can also encounter the Buddha's light in the sea of clouds.

Jiuzhaigou can be said to be one of the most popular destinations in Sichuan. After the high-speed rail directly reached Jiuzhaigou this year, there was a grand scene of 30 EMU trains shuttling between Chengdu East Station and Huangshengguan Station every day, and it was even more crowded during holidays.
If you want to avoid the crowds, don't miss Jiuzhaigou in winter. It is the off-season now, so you can avoid the crowds and appreciate the original beauty of Jiuzhaigou. You can wander in the beautiful scenery of green sea, ice waterfalls and snow-capped peaks.
I find the icefalls most beautiful, with pale blue icicles dangling in strands, some small like wind chimes, some large like columns in a crystal palace. The next most beautiful thing is the vibrant pools of water in Jiuzhaigou, emerald green, deep blue, and azure blue, nestled against the rosy branches above. It's like a Monet painting flowing before my eyes.
After visiting Jiuzhaigou, you can also go to Huanglong Scenic Area. There are rime all the way, and the colorful pool is frozen, half-frozen but still full of charm. The blue, green and milky white spread on the ice surface, like amber frozen in time, or like crystal clear jelly, making people want to take a bite.
Yala Snow Mountain is the second highest peak in the Daxue Mountain Range in Sichuan. It is covered with snow all year round, and winter adds a crown to its purity and perfection.
The three high mountain lakes of Yala Youcuo, Yalacuo and Zhenlangcuo are inlaid on the mountainside like clear water mirrors. The sky, cloud shadows, snowflakes, lake and mountain scenery all linger here. It is perfect for taking photos of your life.
Yala Snow Mountain has been a sacred place for Buddhist monks since ancient times. At its foot lies the renowned Tagong Monastery, attracting a constant stream of pilgrims from far and wide. Within the monastery lies a statue of Sakyamuni Buddha, said to have been sculpted by Princess Wencheng. Surrounding the monastery are a forest of pagodas, which contrast beautifully with the snow-capped mountains, creating a breathtaking and magnificent atmosphere.
This scenic spot is right next to National Highway 318, but its name almost misleads. It was once called "Tushilin Scenic Area" and was renamed "Moshi Park" in 2017. It is a rare and spectacular plateau stone forest.
The rocks here are mainly "Misuo Rock", which is gray-black in spring and summer, and gray-blue in autumn and winter. It looks like an alien planet. You can dress up as an astronaut and cosplay as an astronaut. You can also wear brightly colored clothes such as a red dress. The contrast between cold and warm colors will make you take great photos in minutes. (Remember to use a wide-angle lens for a more stunning and blockbuster look)
It takes about 2-3 hours to visit the entire Moshi Park. Since it is on the plateau, you should be careful to avoid rushing like a special forces soldier and avoid physical fatigue. It is just right to walk, stop, take pictures and rest for a while.
Writer Alai dubbed Dagu Glacier "the closest distance," a title well-deserved. Rich in Quaternary ancient glacial remains, it carries a blanket of ice and snow from time immemorial, yet remains not unreachable; it is the glacier closest to the city.
In winter, the Golden Monkey Lake beneath the Dagu Glacier is home to herds of Tibetan macaques, who stay for nearly five months. The clear waters reflect the glacier's snowy landscape, while the lively and clever macaques add a touch of life to the landscape.
Please note: Although the little monkeys are cute, they will "rob" humans when faced with delicious food. Please feed them rationally and be careful not to get scratched.
Danba Tibetan Village was once praised as the "most beautiful village" by National Geographic. In spring, the mountains are covered with pear blossoms, in autumn, the forests are colorful, and in winter, heavy snow falls. The colors of the ancient castles and watchtowers are even more vivid, just like a kingdom of ice and snow.
Most of the residents in Danba Tibetan Village are Jiarong Tibetans. The Danba watchtowers they built originated from Qiang watchtowers, and their history can be traced back to the Qin and Han Dynasties. At that time, the watchtowers were called "Qionglong" and had multiple functions such as storing food, daily living, and taking shelter in wartime.
A thousand years have passed, but stepping into Danba Tibetan Village, time seems to have slowed down, and the people here still lead a simple life. The occasional encounter with beautiful Danba women, their beaming smiles, reminds one of the glorious past of the "Eastern Women's Kingdom."
When it comes to Mugecuo, you may be a little unfamiliar with it, but when it comes to "Kangding Love Song", you must be familiar with it. Mugecuo is the birthplace of Kangding Love Song.
Mugecuo is an alpine lake located in the middle section of Mount Gongga. In winter, after enjoying the snow scenery of the lake, you can also go to the ski resort to let yourself go. Finally, you can wash away your fatigue and cleanse your body and mind in the steaming hot water of the nearby Yaochi Buddha Spring.
Yaochi Foquan has over 20 springs, with water temperatures reaching up to 90°C. Different springs have different uses. The cooler ones are home to fish, while the warmer ones are said to improve eyesight, be used for foot bathing, and even for boiling eggs, making this a popular attraction for many visitors.
In winter, there are so many places worth visiting in western Sichuan, including snow-capped mountains, glaciers, and lakes. The ice and snow add a touch of gentleness, which is the most healing. This winter, let's go to western Sichuan with Xiaoxia~
