Escape the 40°C Furnace! Just 2 Hours from Chengdu to Xiling Snow Mountain's 20°C Floral Wonderland

✨ While the city bakes in 40°C+ heat, here you'll find rolling sea of clouds, refreshing mountain breezes, wildflowers dancing with rainbow slides, and a "land-water-air" triple adventure waiting to be unlocked!
❄ 20°C natural air-conditioning – Chengdu's best-kept summer retreat
Cloud-walking floral trails: At 2,200m altitude, meadows sparkle with snow-like daisies while golden primroses weave a flowing galaxy. Rare blooms like Saussurea and Gentiana adorn the paths along this 6km forest corridor boasting 28,000+ negative oxygen ions per cm³ – breathe deep and feel the coolness reach your soul.
Wildlife encounters: Watch squirrels frolic in fir forests, or with extra luck spot red pandas lazily munching in treetops – nature's perfect classroom for families!
