Ice and snow wonderland

Unique scenery: The temperature at Yema Lake is low in February, and the lake surface freezes to form spectacular blue ice. Under the sunlight, the ice is crystal clear and shines like a sapphire. The surrounding snow-capped mountains are covered with snow, which complements the blue ice. You can also see the beautiful scenery of the golden mountain and the sea of clouds. Every photo you take is a masterpiece. - Low hiking difficulty: For outdoor enthusiasts, the hiking route here is generally about 4–5 km round trip, with an altitude climb of 200–230 m. The intensity is not high, and beginners can easily handle it. You can also enjoy the beautiful scenery along the way during the hike. - Niche secret place: Yema Lake is a niche destination. There are fewer tourists in February, so it won't be crowded when you visit. You can quietly enjoy the beautiful scenery, enjoy the tranquility of nature, deeply feel the beauty of the secret place, and have a unique travel experience. Cons - Cold weather: The temperature in Ganzi Prefecture is low in February, and the altitude of Yema Lake is about 4,000 m. It is colder on the mountain, so you need to bring thick down jackets, warm gloves, hats, and other warm clothes, and take cold protection measures. - Slippery roads: There is a lot of snow in February, and the roads are slippery. Some of the roads to Yema Lake are mountain roads, which increases the difficulty of driving and hiking. You need to drive and walk carefully. It is best to prepare snow chains and crampons. - Risk of altitude sickness: The altitude of this place is high, and it is easy to suffer from altitude sickness. You need to prepare anti-altitude sickness medicine and oxygen in advance before playing. Avoid strenuous exercise, pay attention to rest, and pay attention to your physical condition.
