I just got back from Bipenggou on 2.28. It just snowed. Live update, no need to convince me to go.

OMG! Bipenggou is ridiculously beautiful!! ✨ Snow-capped mountains, blue ice, rime… Every frame is like stepping into a fairy tale, and every casual shot looks like a movie still 📸 I've put together a travel guide for Bipenggou 📝. Those who want to visit in March-April, save this post now 👇 · 🌦March Weather March in Bipenggou is a magical season of winter transitioning into spring! Temperature: -5°C~8°C (23°F~46°F), with a large temperature difference between day and night! It feels slightly warm in the sun during the day, but as soon as the sun sets, it turns into "refrigerator mode" 🧊. Weather: Occasional light snow ❄ or cloudy days, but mostly sunny! It's recommended to enter the valley in the morning, as the soft light is perfect for taking photos 📸 (the weather may change after 3 pm). Clothing: Down jacket + windproof jacket + fleece pants + non-slip boots! Don't forget gloves and a scarf, the wind at the top of the mountain will make you question your life choices 💨 · 📸Picture-Perfect Spots 1️⃣ Dragon King Sea Blue Ice Wonderland Winter exclusive! After the lake freezes, it emits a faint blue light. Squat down and shoot the reflection from a low angle to instantly get a "Frozen" look 🧚♀️ (It is recommended to shoot before 10 am when the ice surface is clean). 2️⃣ Panyang Lake Snow Mountain Reflection A must-see on a sunny day! The lake reflects the surrounding snow-capped peaks like a mirror ⛰. Wear a bright-colored jacket and stand by the lake for wallpaper-worthy photos ✨ (The boardwalk by the lake offers amazing photo opportunities). 3️⃣ Rime Forest at Swallow Rock Nest Take the sightseeing bus to the terminal station, and the entire fir forest is covered in rime ❄! Turn on portrait mode to blur the background, and look up at the sky with your face turned sideways for a super atmospheric shot ～ 4️⃣ Zhuoma Beach Ice Waterfall Spectacle In winter, the waterfall freezes into icicles. Use a wide-angle lens to shoot upwards! Pair with ice cleats (available for rent in the scenic area) for safety and great photos 📷. · 📌Weekend Snow Fun Itinerary Recommendations 🚗Route 1: DAY 1: Chengdu---Mao Nose Ridge Viewing Platform--Bipenggou Scenic Area--Gurgou DAY 2: Gurgou--Gengda--Shuangqiao Valley in Siguniang Mountain--Chengdu 🚗Route 2: DAY 1: Chengdu--Dagu Glacier Scenic Area--Heishui County DAY 2: Heishui County--Bipenggou Scenic Area--Gurgou DAY 3: Gurgou--Shuangqiao Valley in Siguniang Mountain--Chengdu · 🚌Tips for Hassle-Free Travel ✅ Transportation: Bus: Chengdu Chadianzi Bus Station → Li County Bus (approx. 4 hrs), then find a car to the scenic area.
