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 🌄.

China’s largest ski resort!🏂⛷🎿

Getting There - 2 hours by car from Chengdu, need to take cable car up to the mountain Attractions - Xiling Ski Resort Hotels - Scandina Hotel Food & Restaurants - Xiling Ski Resort Shopping - Xiling Ski Resort Xiling Ski Resort is located in Sichuan Province and around 2 hours by car from Chengdu city. Once you arrive in Xiling, you will need to take a cable car to access the mountain and it costs ¥120 round trip. Once up in the mountain, everyone need to take a free bus that bring to Xiling Ski Resort. We chose to stay at Scandina Hotel that is up in the mountain, so it means we needed to carry our bags until we reach the hotel that is 5min walking from the bus station. We left our big luggage in Chengdu and only brought skowboard clothes, boots and helmet with us to Xiling, I reccomend you travel light if you also choose to stay in the hotel up in the mountain. Speaking about Scandina Hotel, it is the best considering it’s location, specially if you like to wake up early and go snowboard/ski on the first time in the morning, because you save the time of queuing and taking the cable car from the bottom of the mountain. But the staff is not really helpful and not prepared to receive foreign guests. Also meals are not great, there is only chinese food and quality is not good, but you don’t really have many choices around. Speaking about the Ski Resort, me and my husband already snowboard and we had our equipments, but you can rent all there! There are lots of kids and families that actually go to plan in the base and not go up to the mountain and do sports. There are not many Medium/Advanced trails and they are very short, in the end we spent more time in the lift than actually enjoying snowboarding. I would say it is ok to go if you live around and have no other option or if you are a beginner and want to learn go ski/snowboard or have kids! #skiadventure #staycation #wintergetaway #skiresorts

Chengdu! Xiling Snow Mountain! The snow cabin hotel is so city-like

A resort hotel hidden next to the Xiling Snow Mountain Ski Resort, the winter snow scene is even a bit like a scene from a Korean drama. You can see the snow scene of the ski resort as soon as you wake up in the morning, and enjoy the beautiful scenery through the large windows, which makes you feel happy~ Whether you are traveling with family or friends, it is suitable. The hotel has a dedicated passage to the scenic area, and a shuttle service, so you don't have to worry about luggage transportation, and you can enjoy the whole journey without worry. Enjoy the starry sky on the balcony at night and relax completely with the warm heating. Coordinates: Xiling Snow Mountain
