Everyone should come to Jilin to see the rime ice at least once in their lifetime

The snow in the northern country is not just about the heavy, feather-like snowfall, but also the serene and dreamy silver-clad snow forests.
The temperature has started to drop recently, so northern snow should not be far away.
If there is a place that can fulfill all the snow fantasies of children from the south, it must be Sifangding in Jilin.
I once witnessed an unforgettable rime ice scene here.
At that moment, it felt like stepping into a fairy tale world.
📍Navigation location: Longwanqun National Forest Park · Sifangding Scenic Area
Starting from Jilin City, it’s about a 3-hour drive with good road conditions.
The scenic area has shuttle buses up the mountain, making it easy to reach.
🎫Tickets: Adults 73 RMB/person, Children 56 RMB/person
🏨Accommodation recommendations:
• At the foot of the mountain, there is Sifangding Hotel, affordable with decent conditions;
• At the top of the mountain, there are cabins and an observation tower available for 300 RMB/person.
Though the conditions are tough, it’s suitable for landscape photographers to shoot night scenes and wait for sunrise.
🌐Useful Tips:
1️⃣ The appearance of rime ice depends on the “right timing”: it forms more easily on cloudy days or after a sharp warm-up.
The summit of Sifangding is often shrouded in clouds and mist, so the chance of seeing rime ice is relatively high.
2️⃣ It is recommended to arrive around sunrise when the light is soft and perfect for photos.
Rime ice usually starts to gradually melt around 10 a.m.
3️⃣ 🦌 The scenic area has deer that are released for a “walk” in the early morning,
so you can take the opportunity to capture some natural and lively photos.
