first acquainted with West Ridge
The magical Sichuan Basin, on this purple fertile soil, never lacks beautiful scenery. For Chengdu people, they love the secret place of the southern snowy region that can be reached by car for a hundred miles - Xiling Snow Mountain. The poet Du Fu's "window contains a thousand autumn snow in Xiling, and the door is anchored in Dongwu Wanli Boat". On the summer solstice, when the sun is in full swing, what kind of scene is it on the Xiling Snow Mountain at the top of Chengdu? 
It is rumored that Xiling Snow Mountain, formerly known as "Daxuetang" and "Miaojiling", was a gathering place for mountain cattle to drink water, and was later renamed Xiling Snow Mountain because of Du Fu's "window containing Xiling Qianqiu Snow". Xiling Snow Mountain is one of the snow mountains in the Qionglai Mountains that stretches for hundreds of miles west of Chengdu.Because of its beautiful mountain scenery and changes like gods, it is the highest snow-capped mountain in Chengdu. The magical and beautiful Xiling Snow Mountain is composed of a large flying water scenic spot with landscape scenery and a ski scene area covered with strange peaks and snow. 
Compared
with the singleness of the scenery in front of Xiling Snow Mountain, the scenery of Xiling Snow Mountain Ski Scene Area is known for its diversity and is worth visiting. 
There are many immortal mountains in Sichuan, and the West Ridge is the most magical. A mountain is divided into four seasons, and ten miles are different days. The sun and moon shine together, and the yin and yang are separated. The mountains overlap and block each other, and the clouds and mist surround each other. Walking in this mountain is so interesting. Enjoy the rhododendron in spring, enjoy the fireflies in summer, watch the colorful forest in autumn, and play in the snow in winter. Therefore, tourists jokingly call the Xiling Snow Mountain Ski Scene Area a "magical mountain forest holy land". 
Yingyue Lake, Mountain Fairy Tale Paradise
just felt that spring came, and suddenly summer solstice. In the Chengdu Plain in June, the heat is unbearable. At this time, the Xiling Snow Mountain Yingyue Lake at an altitude of more than 2,000 meters is full of mountain flowers and green grass, just like "spring light is resident", cool and pleasant. 
"A pond of spring flowers surrounds the West Ridge, and a pool of blue water reflects the castle." In the good time of June, on the shore of Yingyue Lake, the mountains are full of flowers, including purple-red and orange-yellow alpine primroses, pure and elegant daisies, hydrangeas with flowers, fragrant and charming phalaenopsis orchids and many other flowers. In the nourishing and delicate dripping of the drizzle, it is gorgeous and colorful in the sun. 
By the flowers on the lakeside, there are many cute pet sculptures for tourists to take photos and check in. Crossing the short stone arch bridge, you will come to the center of Yingyue Lake, and there are exquisite props for tourists to take photos. In it, a strong European scenery is welcomed. Say goodbye to long journeys, here you can "click" a beautiful European-style character photo. 
The sky is blue, misty and rainy.A sudden summer rain shrouded the Xiling Snow Mountains with a layer of tulle, which was hazy and beautiful. In an instant, the mountain wind blew away, dispersing the rain and mist, and the sky gradually cleared. The distant mountains are like daisies, and the clouds are hazy. The rolling sea of clouds, with its ever-changing figure, gives this fairy mountain a magical color, making it even more charming and moving. 
Behind the side of Yingyue Lake is Xiling Snow Mountain Ski Resort. Skiing in winter and grass skiing in summer. In midsummer, the grass is lush and the sea of green grass is a good time to ski the grass. The original ski dressing area has become a dressing area for summer grass skiing. I thought grass skiing was easier than skiing, but after trying it once, I realized that this was not the case. Walking on the grass in track boots is as bulky as a tank locomotive, and if you lack your own power, you can't master the essentials of grass skiing, and it is extremely inconvenient to walk, far less flexible than skiing. 
In addition to grass skiing, you can also play the thrilling grass magic carpet and ride a go-kart to feel the speed and passion on the mountain slopes. Surprisingly, Xiling Snow Mountain has an alpine racecourse, right next to the grass skiing area. In the white fence, the green grass is green and green, like starry wildflowers, quietly blooming on the meadow, and two round yurts leap up from the ground. In a trance, it is like walking into the grassland of Inner Mongolia, where you can enjoy the cars and horses and feel the vastness of the grassland.
From the go-kart camp to Yingyue Lake, facing the gentle mountain breeze, the wind chimes on the lakeside are jingling. The blue and white high stools and long tables are accompanied by the lake and mountain Yingyue Lake, which is beautiful. It is comparable to the Internet celebrity photo spot in Erhai Lake. Along the lakeside path, continue for a few tens of meters, and you will come to the children's play area of Xiling Snow Mountain. There are wooden horses, swings, slides and other children's tourist activities, so you can enjoy a warm parent-child relationship time with your children. 
I never thought that this mountain amusement park hidden deep in the alpine meadow was so wonderful, not only can you forget yourself and play various entertainment projects to your heart's content, but also make up for childhood regrets. You can also take a set of childlike photos in this golden fairy tale playground. 
Sun Moon Ping, a fantasy world
thousands of feet high flat to the Han Xiao, the peaks undulate like river waves. Gazing at the beautiful scenery of Xishu from afar, the red sun on the sea is particularly charming. Riyueping is a fantasy world. It is common here to see clouds and smoke, vast and magnificent, and there are more changes like godly Buddha light, sunrise with thousands of glows, colorful light of rainbow circle sun, and incredible sun and moon shining together. 
Stroll through Riyueping, you can enjoy the dreamlike Penglai Wonderland, feel the pride and ambition of Cangshan Mountain and snow, and experience the poetry and picturesque view of Zongshan. Legend has it that the "forest Buddha light" in Riyueping is very visible to everyone, and whoever sees it will have good luck and a life of wealth! 
However, at the top of the mountain in the middle of summer, the weather is ever-changing. It coincided with a summer rain that stretched from the middle of the mountain to the top of the mountain. In the light drizzle, the primitive jungle is mottled with shadows. In the quiet mountains and forests, the playful little squirrel, like a naughty child, braved the summer rain, jumped happily on the branches and plank roads, and played alone in the rain.White alpine flowers stretch out in the rain and bloom quietly. In the low grass, goose-yellow birds are also dancing happily in the rain. When it found a crowd approaching, it spread its wings and took off in a moment, disappearing into the mountains and forests shrouded in rain and mist, and did not know where to go. 
It is said that the West Ridge Snow Mountain has six scenes in one mountain, and it passes three seasons in one day. This is true, there is indeed such a strange thing. Due to the influence of altitude and topography and climate, the weather of the first platform at the foot of the mountain and the second platform of the Mid-Levels Ski Resort is often different from the Sun Moon Flat Mountain Platform at the top of the mountain. 
If the sky on the top of the mountain is clear, you can walk along the winding plank road and walk around the Sun Moon Flat, overlooking the hustle and bustle of the city and enjoying the beautiful scenery of the mountains and seas up close. With the change of time and seasons, the scenery on the mountain changes rapidly. The mountainside is shrouded in fog, but the top of the mountain is a sunny day. When you come to Riyueping, the most common thing is the rolling sea of clouds. The green mountains only show the peaks one by one, as if they are small islands in the sea, sometimes hidden and sometimes in the clouds and mist, making people feel like they are in a fairyland. The sea of clouds wrapped around the mountain is like jade belts tied to the mountainside. 
As time passed, the sea of clouds in the mountains gradually faded away. The big snow pond in the distance, like bathing, is holy and majestic, and Arlo is colorful, which makes people can't help but think. Standing on the observation deck, look around and see different views. If the sky is high and the clouds are light, you can also see the style of other famous mountains and rivers in Sichuan. In the mountains crisscrossed by ravines at the feet, there is a primitive jungle where giant pandas live, calling the "panda forest", with rich vegetation, birds singing and flowers, winding paths and pleasant scenery. This wonderful fairy mountain is no wonder it is loved by tourists. As for what kind of scenery can be seen while climbing? It's really "all about character".
Yin-Yang Realm, the dividing line of nature
The separation of Yin and Yang is a great tragedy, but the Yin-Yang Realm, which is rare in the Xiling Snow Mountains, is a great spectacle. Meander down the sightseeing plank road of Daxuetang to Baisha Gang to overlook the whole picture of the Yin-Yang world. 
A huge mountain is divided into two by the sightseeing plank road of the scenic spot. On one side, the clouds and mist are difficult to distinguish between reality and falsehood, and on the other side, the green mountains and red stones are clear at a glance. This seems to be the place where heaven and earth meet, separated by a line, two beautiful scenery, and all the tourists are amazed. 
poem says: Looking at the white sand and the sky are uneven, the two worlds of yin and yang are clear. The clear sky stretches for thousands of miles south of the hill, while thick clouds on the north side of the hill seem to weigh down the city. Such mountain and forest wonders are rare in the world and are really the shining point of Xiling Snow Mountain. 
On the mountain road plank road in this area, in addition to the wonders of the Yin-Yang Realm, there are often lively elf messengers in the mountains quietly flashing, which are cute little squirrels. No matter the wind or rain, it often flashes in the pine forest. These cute "little cuties" are loved by tourists. On and under the trees, the lively and chaotic strings add a touch of vitality to this silent landscape scenery picture, making it more agile and beautiful.
