No need to go to Harbin, you can see snow here too!

This week's destination: Huapiling. It takes about 3 hours to get to Huapiling from Beijing. Huapiling is the east entrance of the East Grassland Sky Road. There is a large parking lot at the destination, and there are few people and cars in winter. I went a little late this time, and most of the snow on the trees had blown off. Route starting point: The big sign that says "So close, so beautiful, go to Hebei for the weekend." Walk east along the road (when I went, the snow on the ground had turned to ice, and later snow-melting agent was sprinkled). After about 1 km, you can see the stone sign for the "Huapiling Larch Plantation" on the left, and turn left into the mountain. It is recommended to download offline maps to prevent getting lost. This area is quite interesting, and you don't have to follow other people's routes, but pay attention to your safety and remember the route so you don't get lost. I referred to a 7 km one-way route, but I forgot to bring food from the car, so I turned back halfway. If you need offline map references, you can check the comments (to avoid copyright issues). The wind is strong and the temperature is low, so be sure to keep warm to avoid hypothermia. Go with a companion, and safety first. ▼Recommended equipment: Head: hat, face mask Upper body: close-fitting quick-dry clothes + fleece long sleeves + 3-in-1 jacket (down jacket in the car) + gloves Lower body: tight leggings + fleece pants Shoes: high-top wool socks + high-top hiking shoes (ice claws and blood covers in the backpack) Other: sunglasses, hiking bag, trekking poles, thermos, portable high-calorie food, camera, thermal blanket, etc.
