β Snow tips
1. If you want to see snow but have limited time, Yunbingshan is the best choice for you!
2. The boardwalk at the top of the mountain, where you can take a step across two provinces, is narrow and crowded. You can go to the top first and take photos on the way down.
3. Yunbingshan is a mature scenic area. Wear crampons to prevent slipping. It is safe and not dangerous!
