Although you miss the beautiful snow scenery in winter, the Xiling Snow Mountain in summer has different surprises, and the most important thing is that the average temperature is only about 20°C, which is simply a natural summer resort.
In fact, Xiling Snow Mountain is named after the ancient quatrain of the great poet Du Fu of the Tang Dynasty, "The window contains the snow of Xiling for a thousand autumns, and the door is stationed in Dongwu Wanlichuan". The extremely high forest coverage rate also makes this place known as the Green Oxygen Bar, which can be reached in 2 hours by car from the city center.

is divided into the front mountain and the back mountain, Generally, when you come to play, you will choose the back mountain, which is distributed with many essence attractions, and the ski resort in winter is also here.
But Xiling Snow Mountain is not only suitable for winter, in the hot summer, the temperature here is still only more than 20 degrees, which is completely an excellent summer resort.

As soon as I got out of the car, I saw flowers all over the mountains, which was super dreamy. Even though it's summer now, there is still a full spring scenery here.
June is the peak flowering period in the scenic spot, and on the shore of the entire snow lake, small daisies, alpine rhododendrons, poppies, etc. are competing to bloom, and the air is filled with the sweetness of flowers.
After the ice and snow fade, it ushered in a piece of vitality and full of little freshness. The sea of flowers and the lake intersect and complement each other, which is particularly beautiful.
Walking on the path among the flowers, breathing fresh air, and even feeling comfortable, in fact, summer is very suitable for a vacation in such a cool place.
Yellow primroses and white daisies are intertwined, and each place can be the most suitable check-in point, making people feel like they are in a fairy tale.

There is not only the romance of chrysanthemums here, but also large patches of hydrangeas and purple lavender as you continue to walk.
Of course, there is not only a romantic sea of flowers in the scenic area, but a large refreshing grassland is also a highlight here.
Walking through the boardwalk, all you can see is green, like a huge oil painting spreading out in front of you, and flowers are floating nearby.
In addition to large grasslands, characteristic yurts are also essential. Away from the hustle and sloppiness of the hustle and glamour, there is more tranquility and simplicity, and I believe that everyone who comes here will be inadvertently moved.

Exciting and fun grass skiing experience As
youwalk, you happen to walk to the grass skiing area of the scenic spot, and after experiencing the excitement of skiing in winter, you must not miss grass skiing.
What is even more surprising is that there are many experiences in the scenic area: horseback riding, hot air ballooning, ATV off-road vehicles, quad skiing, archery, rock climbing. Many people think that there are only skiing projects suitable for winter in Xiling Snow Mountain, but in fact, grass skiing can give you the same fun.
The various equipment and facilities in the scenic spot are also brand new, and the thick lawn is soft and very comfortable to step on.
Before preparing for grass skiing, the staff of the scenic spot will also help us do a good job of safety protection to ensure the safety of skiing. You can start the grass skiing experience.
Wandering on the green grass, sliding down, that exciting feeling can really only be known after experiencing it.
After experiencing grass skiing, you can also try the ATV off-road vehicle, walk through the exclusive track, and you can drive to your heart's content.
ATV is actually very simple and easy to use, even if it is the first time to play, don't worry, there will be a professional coach I will explain the precautions and teaching exercises of cycling, You can feel the thrill of conquest while riding.
After experiencing the exciting project, I found that there was also a cultural and creative display area in the scenic area, where there were many creative cultural and creative products.
The first time I saw this strange building in front of me, I believe everyone is like me, and they can't guess what it is.
later I found out that this was originally an egg house camp, don't look at the small space of the egg house, but in fact, the internal functional design is very comprehensive, which can meet different functions at different times It also carries filtration and heat recovery functions, so that everyone who lives in it can be in a healthy and comfortable environment.
Take a short break after lunch with a panoramic view on the ropeway
, You can take the Riyueping Ropeway to Riyueping, and you can go up the mountain to see the sea of clouds.
The ropeway in Riweping is currently the longest in the country, about 2,500 meters, so it is also the best place to watch the sea of clouds.
The Xiling Snow Mountain in June is full of green mountains and green waters, dense primeval forests, covered with rolling green mountains, and wisps of white clouds on the top of the mountain. Especially when sitting on the cable car and walking through the sea of clouds, you can feel the clouds and mist.
The ropeway straddles between the mountains and mountains, making it a unique sightseeing route and a safe and exciting experience.
Through the glass window of the cable car, you can see the ever-changing scene in front of you, and the texture of the mountain is also clearly visible. If it is the first time to ride the ropeway, you may be a little nervous, but in fact, after slowly getting used to it, it is more about the shock brought by the scenery, and you can personally appreciate the artistic conception of "seeing the mountains at a glance".
The Sea of Clouds Wonderland in Riyueping
is the first peak in Chengdu, and it is also the highest mountain in Xiling Snow Mountain, with an altitude of up to 3250m and a particularly wide view.
Although Xiling Snow Mountain is not as steep as Mount Tai and Mount Hua, it is also infinitely beautiful, with different scenery throughout the year.
But in fact, the most exciting thing is the sunrise, sunset and Buddha's light here. If you really want to see the sunrise, it is recommended to stay here for one night in advance, and you can see it here in the early morning, and the sun rises higher and higher, and together with the surrounding clouds, it is blurred into a warm orange.
On the specially built plank road on Riyueping, there are many check-in points with many exclusive Xiling Snow Mountain characteristics.
When you come to this very narrow plank road in front of you, you will reach the Yin-Yang Realm, standing on the plank road, looking at the blue sky and the snow-capped mountains in the distance, all the fatigue will disappear at this moment. If you're lucky, you might even encounter a lively and cute little squirrel here.
The plank road is not only the connection between the front mountain and the back mountain, but also the dividing line between the Sichuan Basin and the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. So if you catch up with a good weather, you can see that there will be completely different scenes on both sides of the mountain, with clear skies on one side and clouds and mist on the other.
About accommodation
This time I stayed at a hotel booked in the scenic spot with my friends, In fact, there are hotels in Yingxue Square and Riyueping, but in order to facilitate watching the sunrise, I stayed in the Shoufeng Villa in Riyueping.
The overall environment of the room feels very warm, and the decoration style is also European, clean and spacious.
Since the hotel is located in a scenic spot and has an excellent geographical advantage, you can open the window in the room to have a panoramic view of the beautiful scenery of Xiling Snow Mountain.
> about gastronomy
In addition to experiencing various projects in Yingxue Plaza, you must also taste the special food here. So, I came to this tourist restaurant with my friends near noon, but fortunately there were not many people. The restaurant is easy to find, right next to the ropeway halfway up the mountain, and the restaurant is on the first floor.
The most delicious thing is this rattan pepper beef tongue, the beef tongue has a unique Q-elastic feeling, under the dual combination of rattan pepper oil and green peppercorns, it is spicy and fragrant, and the more you eat, the more flavorful it becomes.
must-eat boiled cuttlefish with fresh rice. The cuttlefish that has soaked up the soup is tender and refreshing, which is really likable.
Black pepper beef made with black pepper is full of aroma. One bite is overflowing with juice, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
The super appetizing sour soup fat beef is also a must-order dish every time you eat.
The most classic boiled fish in Sichuan cuisine can be said to be a hundred times to eat. The fragrant boiled fish must be poured with hot oil before serving to release the maximum aroma of dried chili peppers and peppercorns, so that it will be very enjoyable to eat.
In the evening, I ate the newly launched boiling soup pot in the restaurant downstairs of the hotel, and I was full of happiness. Because Xiling Snow Mountain belongs to the plateau climate, the temperature difference between morning and evening is still relatively large, so in the evening, you want to treat yourself to a steaming meal.
There are three flavors of red soup, mushroom soup, and bean soup to choose from, and then order a large table of dishes you want to eat: shrimp dumplings, tripe, duck blood, luncheon meat, fat beef, and duck blood ........
All ingredients are also purchased on the same day, very fresh, so you can eat whichever you like. When scalding the tripe, remember the mantra of seven up and eight down, and the taste will be just right.
Shabu-shabu's favorite thing to eat is fat beef, fat and thin, fished out from the bottom of the pot, and finally dipped in the special chili noodles, the happiness immediately swells in the heart after one bite, the key is that the more you eat, the more fragrant it becomes. It's addictive.
