Departing from Xi'an, we embarked on a winter adventure to Mount Taibai.
Our family set off on a journey to Mount Taibai. In the morning, we departed from Xi'an and arrived at Mount Taibai National Forest Park after about an hour's drive. Along the way, I was filled with anticipation, as Mount Taibai is renowned for its magnificent natural scenery and unique geographical location, attracting countless tourists.
Upon entering the park, we first took a sightseeing bus to the Lotus Peak Waterfall. As soon as we got off the bus, we were greeted by the roaring sound of water, as if the earth was humming. Walking along the wooden boardwalk, we soon saw the spectacular Lotus Peak Waterfall. The waterfall cascades down from a height of several dozen meters, splashing water everywhere, and under the sunlight, it forms a beautiful rainbow.
Next, we continued our journey to Ink Splash Mountain. This place is where Li Bai, the famous Tang Dynasty poet, once wielded his sword while drunk, and it has a rich cultural heritage. With the guide's explanation, I could almost see the bold and unrestrained demeanor of the Tang Dynasty poet after getting drunk.
We had lunch at the Red Birch Flat Scenic Area. There are many rest spots here, and the environment is very tranquil, surrounded by lush trees, and the air is exceptionally fresh. After the meal, we began the most challenging part of the journey - hiking to the Round Heaven Square Earth. As the altitude gradually increased, the temperature gradually dropped, and we had to put on more clothes. But even so, when I stood at the Round Heaven Square Earth and overlooked the majestic mountains, all the cold and fatigue instantly disappeared.
From the Round Heaven Square Earth, you can take a cable car directly to the summit - Baxian Platform. Standing at the highest point in Shaanxi, I felt an unprecedented sense of excitement and pride. The distant mountains are layered, shrouded in mist, and the scenery is breathtakingly beautiful.
On the way down the mountain, we visited Daye Lake and Jade Emperor Pool. Daye Lake is a high-altitude lake with crystal-clear water, surrounded by colorful wildflowers, like a fairyland. The Jade Emperor Pool, on the other hand, appears more mysterious, as it is said to be the bathing place of the Jade Emperor in Taoism.
Although the entire journey was somewhat tiring, my soul was greatly satisfied. Mount Taibai not only allowed me to appreciate the wonders of nature but also gave me a deeper understanding of China's long history and culture. This trip undoubtedly became a valuable memory in my life.

🍍Lotus Peak Waterfall: With a drop of about 150 meters, the clear stream cascades down from the peak like a galaxy falling from the sky. It is a stunning sight on Taibai Mountain.
🍍Tianyuanfang: One of the north-south dividing points of China's geography, where you can enjoy the continuous mountains, majestic sea of clouds, green forests, and other scenery.
🍍Pomo Mountain: Legend has it that when Li Bai visited Taibai Mountain, he kicked over the inkstone in a drunken rage, and the ink spilled all over the cliff, creating a spectacle.

A Majestic Journey Through the Sea of Clouds at Mount Taibai
Mount Taibai, the main peak of the Qinling Mountains, is renowned not only for its towering height but also for its rich natural scenery and profound cultural heritage, attracting countless visitors. This ascent of Mount Taibai is an intimate dialogue with nature and a profound experience of gazing at the heavens and earth.
Mount Taibai rises to an altitude of over 3,700 meters. As you traverse the mountain, the scenery transitions from lush pine forests to expansive alpine meadows and snow-covered glacial remnants, offering a rich variety of landscapes that seem to span across seasons and time. Especially when standing atop Baxiantai, overlooking the endless sea of clouds and boundless mountains below, it feels as if you are at the pinnacle of the world, providing an unparalleled spiritual elevation.
Mount Taibai's natural beauty is complemented by its deep cultural significance. It has been a place of poetic inspiration for generations of scholars and poets, with the famous poet Li Bai leaving behind timeless works here. As you explore, you can almost sense the presence of these historical figures, making your steps feel lighter.
What left the deepest impression on me was the mid-mountain area, shrouded in mist, with peaks appearing and disappearing like a fairyland. The night sky is even more breathtaking, far from the hustle and bustle of the city, with the Milky Way stretching across the sky like a silver ribbon, serene and profound, evoking awe at the vastness and mystery of the universe.
Mount Taibai is a place that offers both visual impact and spiritual purification. Whether you are a nature enthusiast or a history and culture aficionado, Mount Taibai will immerse you in its harmony between man and nature.

The Summit of Qinling【Mount Taibai】
【Introduction】Shaanxi Mount Taibai National Forest Park is located within the territory of Meixian County, Baoji City, Shaanxi Province. It is the main peak of the Qinling Mountain Range and the highest peak, 【Baxiantai】, with an altitude of 3771.2 meters. It is known as the 'Spine of China' and the 'Dragon Head of the Central Plains'. It serves as a dividing ridge for the climate, geography, and water systems between the north and south of the mainland, as well as the watershed between the Yangtze River and the Yellow River. As the main peak of the Qinling Mountain Range, Mount Taibai is distinctly majestic, strange, beautiful, and secluded, with a perfect combination of mountains, forests, water, and atmosphere. Its towering presence and ever-changing climate have always been the aspiration of literati and poets since ancient times. The total area of Mount Taibai National Forest Park is 5253 hectares, divided into 10 major scenic areas with more than 180 attractions, spanning altitudes from 620 to 3771 meters. It was established in 1991 with the approval of the State Forestry Department and officially opened to the public in July 1992. In February 2001, it was honored as one of the 'First Batch of National Civilized Forest Parks'. In November 2016, the Mount Taibai scenic area was promoted to a national AAAAA-level scenic spot.
The original plan was to climb Mount Taibai on May 25, 2024, but due to rain, it was postponed to the next day, the 26th. We entered the scenic area at 8:30 in the morning after purchasing tickets at the visitor center (admission ticket 90 yuan, sightseeing car 60 yuan). There are 3 attractions at the foot of the mountain with stops. After a 30-minute (about 17 kilometers) drive, we arrived at the first attraction 【Lotus Peak Waterfall (altitude 1350 meters)】 at 9:00; at 9:20, the second attraction 【Ink Splash Mountain (altitude 1450 meters)】 to see the Taibai Winery; at 9:50, the third attraction 【Peach Blossom Land (altitude 1550 meters)】; at 10:35, we reached 【Red Birch Flat (altitude 2300 meters)】, took the cable car to the mountain (cable car ticket 120 yuan, 20 minutes), and arrived at 【Heaven and Earth Square (altitude 3511 meters)】 at 10:58. At the summit, at 11:45 we walked to 【Nature Reserve Gate (altitude 3460 meters)】. Unfortunately, the gate was closed, and we lost the opportunity to climb the main peak of Mount Taibai, 【Baxiantai (altitude 3771.2 meters)】. We walked back, at 12:08 【Shangbansi】; at 12:28 【Baixiantai】; at 12:34 【Bansi New Village】; at 13:02, we took the small cable car down the mountain at 【Fuyunge (altitude 3200 meters)】 (cable car ticket 50 yuan, 20 minutes); at 13:25, we arrived at the last attraction 【Xiabansi (altitude 2800 meters)】 for a visit. At 13:35, we took the sightseeing car (42 kilometers, 110 minutes), and returned to the 【Visitor Center】 at 15:00. The whole journey took 6 and a half hours, covering more than 75 kilometers.

Climbing to the top of Mount Taibai, I felt everything was worth it!
About Mount Taibai
It's truly beautiful but also truly exhausting.
Last year's plan made on 7.22 was used this year on 6.23.
At 11:30, after ticket inspection, I took the scenic shuttle bus to ride the cableway to the top. Who would have thought that at the first scenic spot, the Lotus Peak Waterfall, I would have to walk for 45min to transfer to the cableway, which was totally unexpected. After getting off the cableway, the sight of the 'City in the Sky' was dazzling. Then came the long 6~7h trek.
The 'Grandpa Sea' was really cold. I really don't know how I survived that night. I was afraid I would leave myself there. The starry sky over the 'Grandpa Sea' was beautiful. I heard someone with a telescope say there were meteors, but they forgot to make a wish. It was too cold.
At four in the morning, almost 70% of the people at 'Grandpa Sea' gave up going to 'Baixiantai', and some teams sent their elites to take photos and check in.
The 'Grandpa Sea' in the early morning was unbelievably beautiful. All I could think about was how I would get back and whether I could make it back. On the way back, I walked, rested, and slept. Finally, at noon 12:00, I saw the cableway to the bottom. I was overjoyed that I could go home. Mount Taibai, I probably won't visit again.
Some things, once experienced

Help! Has everyone in Xi'an gone here to see the snow? Where to go on the weekend?
1 When it comes to places around Xi'an to see snow, Mount Taibai must definitely be on the list! ❄️
2 The guide has been organized, but I never had the chance to go. There's always something holding me back, the kind that I can't refuse, which is so regrettable. I really want to see the beauty of the earth dressed in silver!
3 But! Since the guide has been organized, it can't be wasted. I'll set a small flag: I must go to Changbai Mountain to see the snow at least once!
📸 I'll share my guide with everyone, and those who have been there, leave a photo in your Moments!
4 I'm someone who really likes to make plans. From the moment I saw the first snow on Mount Taibai, I've been imagining setting off! So my guide is made very early and is a bit different from other bloggers, more suitable for my own use. Those who find it applicable, feel free to take it~
5 There are roughly three ways to travel: self-driving, public transportation, and joining a tour. I've considered all three methods, but no matter which one, you can't miss the guide for inside the scenic area! So this article is divided into four parts to summarize the guide, it's a bit long, everyone can take what they need according to their requirements~
1⃣️ Scenic Area Information:
👉🏻 Opening hours are 8:00-18:00 (last entry at 14:00)
Tickets are 50 yuan per adult, scenic shuttle bus is 40 yuan per person (the shuttle bus is a must)
Due to ice sealing the roads, only the 'Peach Blossom Land' attraction is currently open, and you can also see the Lotus Peak Waterfall and Ink Splash Mountain!
The round-trip cable car is 230 yuan per person, a bit expensive, let me think about it again.
👉🏻 Ps: Be sure to bring food and drink, I heard a bottle of water costs 20 yuan in the scenic area!
Definitely bring warm clothes, sub-zero temperatures, one for taking photos and one for keeping warm!
2⃣️ Self-driving:
👉🏻 It takes 1.5-2 hours to drive from the center of Xi'an
👉🏻 Parking fee should not exceed 20 (hopefully), toll and fuel costs roughly calculated at 150
👉🏻 Depart at 8 am--return at 5 pm is best!
👉🏻 Total cost about: 260+
(After coming down the mountain, do I really have the energy to drive for 2 hours? Doubtful, but very convenient)
1 Public Transportation:
👉🏻 A round-trip taxi will cost four to five hundred?! Exclude that
👉🏻 Coach bus round-trip is 90 yuan, high-speed train round-trip is about 75 yuan
👉🏻 Single trip by coach takes 2 hours, need to leave at 7 am
👉🏻 High-speed train takes about 1.2 hours, leave at 8 am
(It takes a long time, is it convenient to take the bus on the return trip? But it's cheap)
Total cost about: 200+
2 Joining a Tour:
👉🏻 Between 230-260 (two options available)
👉🏻 Includes transportation, guide fee, and ticket fee
👉🏻 The route is the same as self-driving (but you can only sign up on Wednesday, Saturday, and Sunday)
👉🏻 Depart at 8.00 - arrive at the scenic area at 9.50 - gather for the return trip at 17.00 - get home around 19.30
(It seems very cost-effective, but waiting for others when joining a tour)
3⃣️ A very detailed guide, take it if you need it~
👉🏻 Check the weather forecast before going, if the weather is bad, confirm in advance whether it's open~

|Don't miss it or you'll have to wait another year, it's time to enjoy the snow scenery in Taibai Mountain!.
❤❤️❤️️At the tail of winter, I had a chance to visit Taibai Mountain⛰️! I drove to the entrance of the scenic area, then hiked all the way to the Lotus Peak waterfall. I didn't expect the world along the road to be so fascinating with its silver-clad scenery❄️❄️❄️!
💓💓💓Taibai Mountain⛰️ is closed every year, roughly from November to April of the following year. At this time, the top of the mountain is unreachable, but the hike to the Lotus Peak waterfall is still very good. We also entered for free in February. The scenic area management kindly reminded us❤️ not to go too deep, so we just walked along the main road of the scenic area🚶, the snow on both sides❄️ has melted a lot, but there are still some remnants, especially in some places where the sun☀️ can't reach, it's still breathtakingly beautiful💓! It's a pleasure to relax here💗, whether you're walking🚶♀️, taking photos📷, or basking in the sun🌞 and daydreaming!

Here is a practical guide to Mount Taibai
❤️Starting from Xi'an, a 1.5-hour drive will quickly get you to all the expectations that turn into exclamations of amazement at the moment of reaching the top of the mountain. The clouds and mist rolling between the mountains like huge waves are truly indescribable!
📓Practical guide:
✅For round-trip hiking, you need to start early. If you arrive after 10 am, you will need to take the cable car for at least one way~
✅In the mountains, it starts to get dark at 5 pm, so you need to manage your time for descending the mountain~
✅The protected area is already closed, and the end of the scenic area is Tianyuan Place
✅Check the weather before you set off. The mountain will be closed on rainy and snowy days, so don't make a wasted trip
🧥Clothing guide:
✅When we reached the top of the mountain, it was noon, but the temperature was still below zero, and the wind on the top of the mountain was huge, so you must wear thick and windproof clothes!
✅There is long-term snow accumulation on the mountain. If you don't take the cable car and hike up and down the mountain, it's best to wear a pair of anti-slip hiking shoes and bring a walking stick. Some sections of the road are a bit slippery, so be careful
