The whole journey is about 3.5 hours. Everyone can take a good rest at the beginning, and the tour leader will explain some precautions during the trip.
After getting off the road at Xuecheng, turn into the Mengtun River Valley. Drive to the starting point of the hike, then hike to the campsite along a road covered with a mixture of loose ice, snow, fallen leaves, and gravel.
After enjoying a plate of pure local-style teppanyaki, wander among the pine trees. Under the bent branches, snow flakes rustle and fall, just like a fairy tale dream.
After hiking for about 1km, you will reach a small waterfall. In cold winter, the water is frozen and blue.
After a short rest under the icefall, we returned to the bus and took a bus to Gulugou Hotel. Standing on the snowy plain, it felt like traveling through the world.
