Xiling Snow Mountain Family Trip | 2-Day Hot Spring & Snow Play Guide

Xiling Snow Mountain Family Trip | 2-Day Hot Spring & Snow Play Guide

|2-Day Hot Spring & Snow Play Guide 👧❄️We took our child to Xiling Snow Mountain at the end of the winter vacation, and it was such a fun family trip! Playing in the snow and soaking in hot springs, both adults and children had a great time. Here's a super detailed guide! 🚗Itinerary Day 1: Huashuiwan Hot Spring Hotel → Relaxing Check-in and Leisure Time We drove from Chengdu 🚗 and arrived at Huashuiwan Hot Spring♨️ First Village in about 1.5 hours. We chose a hotel at the foot of the mountain, which cost around CNY 300–400 per night, offering great value for money. There are various small shops and delicious food nearby, and we could take our child for a stroll and enjoy the food in the evening. We went during the Lantern Festival, and there were fireworks. Day 2: Xiling Snow Mountain → Snow Carnival 🚗It takes about 30 minutes to drive from Huashuiwan to the scenic area parking lot. 🎫Ticket Prices: • Scenic Area Ticket + First Cable Car (Yuanyangchi) + Shuttle Bus (Yingxue Square): CNY 240 • Second Sightseeing Cable Car (Riyueping): CNY 160 • Free for children under 6 years old or under 1.2 meters tall 🛠️Equipment: Make sure to prepare hats and gloves for both adults and children to keep warm! You can buy raincoats, shoe covers, and snowboards on the mountain, which are cheap and convenient. Snowboards cost CNY 5, and raincoats cost CNY 9.9. Play Route 1️⃣Yingxue Square: After entering the scenic area, take the cable car to Yuanyangchi, and then transfer to the shuttle bus to reach Yingxue Square. This is a snow kingdom for children, with an ice and snow park, panda snow world, banana boats, and various snow activities that keep children entertained. You can also have lunch at the square's restaurant, which offers affordable prices. 2️⃣Riyueping: Take the cable car from Yingxue Square to Riyueping. The pristine forest is covered in snow, and the rime and snow are breathtaking. You might even encounter cute squirrels. We had been there before, so we didn't go up this time. Playing in the snow at Yingxue Square was already super fun for our child. 🚠Cable Car Travel: We arrived at the scenic area at 10 am and took the cable car down the mountain at around 2 pm, without having to queue at all. Previously, when we made a round trip in one day, the queue was overwhelming, so a 2-day trip is much more relaxing. This family trip to Xiling Snow Mountain not only allowed our child to have fun but also gave us parents a chance to relax. If you haven't taken your child to experience it yet, make plans now!

A fairyland just 2 hours from Chengdu - Xiling Snow Mountain

A fairyland just 2 hours from Chengdu - Xiling Snow Mountain

🖼️ This isn't Japan, it's Xiling Snow Mountain near Chengdu! This winter, I finally made it to this dreamland ❄️. Getting there is super convenient 🚗. I took a direct bus from Exit C of Jinsha Site Museum subway station. It departs at 7:30 am and costs CNY 35 one way, or even less for a round trip 💰. Driving is also easy, just 2 hours to Parking Lot 1 at Xiling Snow Mountain 🅿️. Once in the scenic area, I had my combo ticket 🎫, which included admission, the cable car, and the shuttle bus. I took the cable car up 🚀, enjoying the beautiful view of Yuanyang Lake 🏞️. Then I transferred to the shuttle bus, which took me to Yingxue Square in 10 minutes. The entrance to the sightseeing cable car was right in front of me 👀. I strolled along the Rhododendron Path, where the rime-covered branches looked like something out of a fairy tale ✨. Yingxue Lake was half-frozen, with the snow-capped mountains reflected in it. The castle-like buildings added a touch of magic 🏰. At the top of the mountain, the Dayuetang Viewing Platform took my breath away. The sea of clouds was stunning 🌄.

We decided to go at the last minute, and the on-site ticket price was 368 (ticket + first section cable car ticket + ski ticket) 🏨Hotel: We stayed at the Xiling Snow Mountain Snowflake Hotel. The wooden house hotel for photography is next to the Snowflake Hotel, called the Scandina Resort Hotel, you can walk over to take pictures.

Everyone needs to go up the mountain earlier in the afternoon, the cable car will close at four or five in the afternoon) 🍴Restaurant: There are many places to eat at Yingxue Square, and there are many chain brands. We ate at the Shouchai Roast Duck that night, about 100 per person. (We bought a lot of snacks, instant noodles, self-heating pots, water, and carried them up the mountain super heavy, only to find that there are everything for sale on the mountain, and it's not expensive, soda water is 3 yuan, instant noodles are 8 yuan) 📷Photography: The entrance to the wooden house hotel is in, walk inside near the stone sign of Yingxue Hotel. Then walk up all the way, a few steps is a scene, be sure to take pictures. It is recommended that you apply a brighter lipstick, wear exaggerated or funny accessories, and be sure to wear sunglasses. 🧷Remember to get up early in the morning, usually it snows at night, and the sun is the most beautiful at seven or eight o'clock. Today we didn't have the sun after 10:30 in the morning, and the sky turned gray. 💊Medical: There is a medical room on the mountain, but there is no doctor and no medicine. During special periods, everyone must remember to bring enough various medicines.

Chengdu people don't lie to Chengdu people! 2 hours to a snow wonderland

Chengdu people don't lie to Chengdu people! 2 hours to a snow wonderland

Guys, I've found a hidden gem! It's Mount Xiling Snow Mountain, just 2 hours' drive from Chengdu, and it's absolutely stunning! 🚗 It's super convenient to get there, with direct buses, shuttles, high-speed trains, and self-driving options. You can book tickets on the official WeChat account, which is super easy. Once you enter the scenic area, take the cable car and then transfer to the shuttle bus to reach Yingxue Square. The rime on the Rhododendron Trail is like a painting, and I felt like a fairy as I strolled through it. 🧚‍♀️ Yingxue Lake is half ice and half water, with snow-capped mountains in the background. The buildings by the lake look like a fairytale town in Northern Europe, and it's the perfect spot for photos! The summit of Riyueping is even more breathtaking, and the sea of clouds at the Daxuetang Observation Deck left me speechless. The little animals are also incredibly cute. This winter, you must visit Mount Xiling Snow Mountain and experience a winter wonderland! ❄️

The 2-hour drive from Chengdu to the dreamy European-style hot spring paradise is within reach

The 2-hour drive from Chengdu to the dreamy European-style hot spring paradise is within reach

Chengdu's winter makes one want to burst into song: I really want to escape, but I can't run away🥶 At this time, we must call upon Chengdu's three winter treasures: the sun, snow, and hot springs♨️ - The sun and snow are at the mercy of Mother Nature🔥 I've almost tried all the hot springs around Sichuan's Chengdu, but my personal favorite has to be the Huashuiwan Hot Springs at Haihui Temple♻️: - This 'Huashuiwan Hot Springs Town'🏰, filled with European style and characterized by red-roofed white buildings, is located in Dayi, a 2-hour drive from downtown Chengdu🚙 The hot springs are known as 'Heavenly Wonder Springs' and are sulfur hot springs, containing more than a dozen trace elements needed by the human body, with temperatures reaching up to 68℃♨️ - Opening hours📍 09:00-23:00, suitable for someone like me who needs both morning and evening dips, and also helps to avoid the early morning rush; Hot spring water quality📍 The water is ancient sea sulfur hot springs. The smell and mineral impurities are authentic Rich variety of pools📍 The outdoor Băilè Soup pools number over 30, secretly scattered amidst the natural undulating landscape; - ♨️Hot spring experience: When I went, there were three larger pools with clear water, and many smaller pools with sulfur water, which had a stronger smell. We chose the clear water. The top pool had flowing water in the afternoon, but it turned stagnant at night. The middle one is hotter, too much for most people, and the most conspicuous pool by the road was crowded, and although it's the most photogenic, we didn't go because it was too crowded. - ♨️Hot spring tips: 1⃣️Off-peak timing: Weekdays are less crowded than weekends, and daytime is less crowded than nighttime. 2⃣️Always bring water when going to hot springs! Especially if it's your first time, we saw a guy who fainted because he didn't drink enough water! Make sure to drink plenty of water while soaking!
