arrived at the foot of Phoenix Mountain. Private cars are forbidden in the scenic area. Tickets include shuttle bus. It takes only 20 minutes to get into the interior. The crazy snowmobile almost smashed me out, and after all kinds of wild bumps finally reached the top of the phoenix, the cold air naturally fell a bit with the elevation.
The snow here is very white, the white is a little dazzling, and the light of the sun reflects the blue light. The snow here is so deep that it is so deep that it will drown the calf. When you take a picture, you sit down in the snow and simply lie down and have a more intimate hug with the earth.
