Wawushan near Chengdu is a great place to see the snow, it's been very popular recently! We went there on the third day of the Lunar New Year, and had to queue for the cable car for an hour and a half. If you want to take photos, I suggest staying in a nearby hotel the night before and getting on the mountain as soon as the cable car opens at 7.30. The first cable car takes 18 minutes to get halfway up the mountain, the fog is quite heavy and there's no sunlight, visibility is low. I personally don't think there's much to photograph, I suggest hurrying to the next cable car. If you have time on the way back, you can take a look around. The second cable car takes 15 minutes to reach the top of the mountain. The weather was great when we went, as long as it's clear, the mountain is very beautiful. After that, just walk around and take photos. If you get up early, you're lucky enough to see the golden sea of clouds~

I won't go to Wawu Mountain again‼️ No one ever mentioned how extremely cold it is at the top of the mountain on rainy days, so it's best to bring an extra set of clothes as you will definitely get wet. Currently, there's no admission fee～The whole journey is on foot🟰0 yuan My easy route👇 Leave Chengdu for Wawu Mountain Scenic Area at 7:30 am, a 3h trip, then take the Jinhua Bridge cable car to the lower station of Gufoping (round trip💰88), and in order to catch the 1 pm cliffside waterfall, I took a one-way trip to the upper station of Gufoping (💰50). The cliffside waterfall wasn't closed when it was supposed to be on the weekend! There are supply stations all along the scenic area so you can bring less stuff. Raincoats💰20, umbrellas💰25, and there's also a large field of daisies🌼 at the lower station of Gufoping, as well as Shuyi burnt fairy grass milk tea. If you're walking the whole way, you need to start earlier. The path is very clear with many steps. After descending the mountain, I went to Hongya County and enjoyed the local delicacies recommended by a friend, and then happily went home～

On June 12th, a rockfall occurred in the Wawushan Scenic Area in Sichuan, resulting in the death of a tourist who was struck and fell to the ground, drawing public attention. However, it did not affect our itinerary, and we still went up the mountain as scheduled on the 13th. Wawushan National Forest Park is located within the territory of Wawushan Town, southwest of Hongya County, Meishan City, along the western edge of the Sichuan Basin. The summit plateau of Wawushan covers an area of about 11 square kilometers, with the highest altitude being 2830 meters, recognized as China's tallest and largest 'square mountain'. The essence of Wawushan lies in the Lanxi Waterfall and the Lanxi sheer cliff plank road. Lanxi Waterfall is considered to be the waterfall with the largest drop in the world, and the Lanxi sheer cliff plank road is in the shape of a Z, clinging to a 90-degree basalt steep cliff. It zigzags upwards, with cliffs rising thousands of feet all around, overlooking an abyss tens of thousands of feet deep, and is about 2 kilometers long.

Wawushan, about 3 hours drive from Chengdu. Located in Hongya County, Meishan City, standing on the bank of Yanu Lake, it is one of the most famous table mountains in China (the other is the undeveloped Dawashan). From December to February of the following year, it is the best time to watch and play with snow in Wawushan. The recent strong cold wave is coming, are you ready to see the snow? 🚙Travel| How to go to Wawushan to see the snow? There are many ways to go to Wawushan to see the snow. In addition to self-driving, many travel agencies in Chengdu have one-day/two-day tour groups and direct buses to Wawushan. If you take the bus by yourself, the Xinnanmen Bus Station also has buses to go there during the peak season, and you can choose according to the situation. Guide| How to play with snow in Wawushan? Wawushan is divided into low mountain area, middle mountain area and high mountain area. The scenery such as rime is mostly concentrated in the high mountain area on the top of the mountain, and you need to take two cable cars (Jinhua Bridge and Gufoping Cable Car) to reach it. The price of Wawushan high mountain area ticket + two cable cars is 236 yuan; the price of Wawushan middle mountain area ticket + cable car is 148 yuan, which can only reach Gufoping halfway up the mountain. It is recommended to go to the high mountain area for winter play. If you buy tickets for free travel, you can choose a channel with higher cost performance or early bird tickets. In contrast, I think the cost-effectiveness of group travel (which can be exempted from tickets) is higher. ⛄Dress| What to wear to see snow in Wawushan? The climate of Wawushan in winter is cold, and the temperature is different between the top and bottom of the mountain. The Yanu Lake at the foot of the mountain is rippling with blue waves, but the top of the mountain is covered with silver, so you must prepare thick clothes, preferably storm jackets or down jackets. Warm hats, scarves, gloves, etc. can also be brought along. Wawushan is a typical table mountain. After taking the cable car to the top of the mountain, the attractions along the way are very flat, and the play is basically not tired, so don't worry about walking hot after wearing thick. In addition to playing with snow on the top of the mountain, the main attractions include Lantern Corridor, Mandarin Duck Pool, Xiaoyao Bridge, Xiang'er Manor, Lanxi Waterfall, etc. For more detailed scenic spot play routes, update the next note on the homepage. 🏡Food and accommodation| What to eat and where to stay in Wawushan to see the snow? Whether it is eating or accommodation in Wawushan, it is very convenient. In terms of catering, you can dine outside the gate of the scenic spot, halfway up the mountain at Gongtong Manor, and at the top of the mountain at Xiang'er Manor. But if it is a one-day tour from Chengdu, it is recommended to bring your own meals, because the whole journey time is slightly tight. Compared with a one-day tour, the two-day tour of Wawushan is more relaxed. You can visit Liujiang Ancient Town along the way, and then stay by Yanu Lake. The next morning, you can go up the mountain to see the snow scene, and the time is more ample. If you want to watch the sunrise, there are campsites and hotels on the top of Wawushan for selection. In terms of food, the local fish is quite distinctive.

Because I slept until I naturally woke up, I didn't get to Wawushan Mountain until noon. After taking two cable car rides to the summit, even though the altitude is 2800 meters, the sunshine was bright and I didn't feel cold. The blue sky and white clouds are a natural healing presence, and the crunching snow underfoot was refreshing! At the observation deck, looking up at the sacred Mount Gongga, it truly deserves the title of 'King of the Shu Mountains', with its majestic and robust presence standing tall among the clouds, I was in awe. Walking further, I came across the 'Lantern Trail' (a name I coined myself), this part of the trail was always under the sunlight, without ice and snow, and both sides were adorned with lanterns, probably for the Spring Festival. Holding a lantern, I made a wish for a lifetime of happiness. Reaching the Mandarin Duck Pond, the water was shimmering. It's actually a lake but is called a pond, perhaps because it seems petite on Wawushan Mountain. The lake under the blue sky and white clouds is always beautiful, and aside from the water, the side near Taiqing Palace was half-frozen, maybe it's because of the serene atmosphere, which invites contemplation. On a whim, I left the flat trail and took a mountain path where the snow was deeper. I wasn't careful and my phone fell to the ground, sliding down five or six steps, but luckily the case was thick and it wasn't damaged. The mountain path was shorter in distance but not in time, yet the scenery was uniquely beautiful. It takes 3 hours to complete the loop at the top of Wawushan Mountain. Due to time constraints, I didn't get to see the ice waterfall, leaving something to yearn for, I'll come back next tim
