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 🌄.
