China’s largest ski resort!🏂⛷🎿

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

Relaxing escapade outside Chengdu 🇨🇳

Very aesthetic hotel outside of Chengdu. This hotel is located just an hour away from Chengdu . It is called Hiti Alruo Resort in Dayi and it is near Ancient Anren Town. I highly recommend a weekend trip just to breathe and relax, this place is fancy and you can book a room with a soaking tub.The facilities are top class, everything is just oitstanding in my opinion. Our friends just treated me and my husband for a weekend getaway and we were surprised how beautiful the surrounding area is. The hotel offers a free flow beer from 16:00-17:00 so we had a good late afternoon drinks just right before dinner. We opted to go eat out for dinner as we wanted to try the local food. The breakfast is also good. You can easily book this hotel here on trip.com.. It isn't cheap though but if you really wanna treat yourself for a good and relaxing place to stay in while in Dayi then this hotel is the best one for you.. We really enjoyed our stay here. Enjoy your Dayi trip. #mytripvlog #tripblazers #chengdu #ancienttown #dayi

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!

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! ❄️
