Dreamy Sunset in the Christmas Forest of Changbai Mountain Xueling (with Guide)

Photo taken on 24/12/7, 3:30 PM started the afterglow, 3:50 PM sunset🌄 Erdaobaihe clear sky, cloudy over Xueling☁️ • 👣 We arrived at Xueling at 1:15 PM, took the small counterclockwise loop (route details in photo 13), spent 3 hours taking photos nonstop, returned to the parking lot at 4:10 PM • 🌲 The first half from the "Visitor Center" to the "Reindeer Park" overlaps with the horse-drawn sleigh uphill route. There are rime forests, Christmas trees, pink houses, puppies, snow swings, and other man-made installations, with quite a few people • 💫 The highlight sunset part starts from the "Reindeer Park" on the second half, which is also the snowmobile downhill route. There are large areas of Christmas trees, where you can see the afterglow, pink sky, and sunset. Fewer people, absolutely stunning 🥹 • 🔥 Keep warm! The temperature is about 10 degrees colder than the city area. Heat packs are not very effective. Protect your ears, wear a mask, and wear two layers of gloves (inner layer touchscreen-compatible, outer layer thick and warm). If you don’t feel cold, walking the whole way will be easy! • 🦌 The "Reindeer Park" at the mountain top is the coldest and windiest place on the whole Xueling, with many people! Not suitable for long stays 🥶 • Though it was cloudy, suddenly the afterglow appeared when we reached the top. The orange-red sunset and pink snow were fleeting, A fairy-tale-like sunset in life🌄 •
