Yala Snow Mountain Winter Exclusive, Encounter the Sunlit Golden Mountain

From December to March of the following year is the best time to visit Yala Snow Mountain. At this time, it transforms into the dazzling "Ice and Snow Crown" of the Western Sichuan Plateau, making it an excellent choice for winter sightseeing. When other viewing platforms close due to heavy snow or traffic restrictions, Yala Snow Mountain Scenic Area, with its advantage of direct access to the foot of the mountain, allows you to easily experience a magical ice and snow encounter. The main peak of Yala Snow Mountain stands at 5,820 meters. Under the winter sunlight, the snow-capped summit shines with a blue glow all year round, contrasting sharply with the golden meadows at the foot of the mountain, like a natural oil painting. With fewer visitors in winter, you can fully enjoy this snowy secret realm. Cars can reach the scenic area directly, and the road conditions from Chengdu are good all the way; just prepare snow chains in winter. The scenic area’s visitor center is well-equipped, and sightseeing buses go directly to Basong Service Station, making it easy to admire the full view of the snow mountain. The hiking routes are suitable for beginners; strolling along the Shedexin Wisdom Trail or hiking 2.5 kilometers on the Ancient Tea Horse Road is very pleasant. Upon entering the scenic area, the Rainbow Road winds through, with golden meadows and silver-blanketed forests complementing each other, creating a feast for the eyes. Come to Yala Snow Mountain and, under the warm winter sun, encounter the ultimate romance of the sunlit golden mountain and start an unforgettable ice and snow journey!
