Light hiking, snow viewing, the most recommended place around Xi'an ~ Cuihua Mountain

I can't remember how many times I've been to Cuihua Mountain. I used to ski on Cuihua Mountain, but this is the second time I went hiking to enjoy the snow.
There are two hiking routes in Cuihua Mountain, one long and one short. The long route is to enter the mountain gate, go up the mountain along the Eighteen Bends to the road, cross the road and continue walking towards the Wind Cave and Ice Cave, and go all the way to the Tianchi Lake.
Route 2 is to take a car to Tianchi Lake, park after passing the tunnel, and walk to the Ice Cave and Wind Cave after getting off the road on the right. This section is the essence of hiking in Cuihua Mountain. It is not very intense, but it is varied, and the most beautiful scenery is in this section. Since some roads are narrow, it is not recommended to carry a large bag.
The temperature on the mountain is much lower than that at the foot of the mountain, but there is less snow in the places exposed to the sun, and the snow in the shady places can be preserved for a long time.
