Here you can enjoy alpine meadows covered in silver, and unlock the triple romance of “snow scenery + sea of clouds + sunrise” all at once.

❄️ When is the best time to see the snow?
Based on past experience:
Mid to late December: The mountain top starts to wear white, and rime gradually forms
January to February: Snowfall is most frequent, the best period to see the “white Wugong Mountain”
Tip: To catch the snow scenery, watch the cold wave signals and check the weather forecast in advance for the most reliable info

🌨️ How to tell if it will snow?
1️⃣ When the temperature at the foot of the mountain drops below 0°C and there is a cold wave warning, it’s very likely to snow at the summit
2️⃣ Add “Wugong Mountain Golden Summit” location in your weather app; if the forecast shows over 50% chance of snow for 3 consecutive days, you can get ready to go
