Winter wonderlands worth visiting
1. Jiuzhaigou
Jiuzhaigou is known for its unique high mountain landscape, colorful lakes, waterfalls, and forests, and is hailed as a 'heaven on earth'. In autumn and winter, Jiuzhaigou is colorful, with waterfalls, lakes, and red leaves complementing each other, making it a sight to behold.
Jiuzhaigou is also an ecological treasure trove, with a wealth of wild animal and plant resources. Such as golden monkeys, snow leopards, and a variety of plants are hidden deep in the mountains. As a settlement of Tibetans and Qiang people, they have retained a rich traditional culture and customs.
2. Kanas
Spectacular snow mountains, blue lakes, golden grasslands, and rich animal and plant resources. Autumn and winter in Kanas, from colorful forests to a fairy tale world carved by ice and snow. It changes into infinite beauty throughout the four seasons.
Winter is long and cold, and winter in Kanas is covered with ice and snow. The scattered log cabins, the silver birch forest, the flowing meltwater, the rime hanging between the branches of the trees, constitute the god's self-retained land Hemu. The ancient Tuvan people guard their Baihaba.
3. Wangmangling
'If you don't climb Wangmangling, you won't know the Taihang Mountains, the world's strange peaks gather, why climb the Five Mountains'. Winter in Wangmangling is like a fairyland, with winter snow, rime, sea of clouds, sunrise, like a fairy tale winter in Wangmangling, beautiful and romantic. The mountains are full of pine trees, willow trees, and grasses are covered with rime and icicles, even the railings, pavilions, and stones are covered with a layer of ice flowers, there is a chill in the breath, and the eyes are like glass.
4. Emei Mountain
Winter in Emei Mountain is the most spiritual season of the year, like a dream. The soft snow scene and the misty hot springs at the foot of the mountain complement each other, making people yearn for it. The temples on the high mountains also add a bit of Zen, 'Clouds surround half of the mountain with snow, and flowers spit out a stream of smoke', which refers to Emei Mountain after the snow.
The Golden Summit has always been regarded as a heaven on earth by everyone. Looking up at the Golden Buddha, overlooking the sea of clouds, winter in Emei is the best time to watch, sunrise often accompanies the sea of clouds, and Buddha's light always likes to appear inadvertently.
5. Huangshan
Winter in Huangshan is the most beautiful and romantic season of the year. The strange pines and strange stones are dressed in silver, and they enter the world of ice and snow overnight, as the saying goes, 'Huangshan has beautiful scenery in all four seasons, but the winter scenery is even better'.
Rime, sea of clouds, snow scene, the clouds in the mountains under the 'favor' of winter, the water vapor condenses and adheres to everything on the top of the mountain, the mountains, strange stones are all in a daze, the white jade clothes are shining, and the eyes of the tourists are all ice flowers. World.
6. Yichun Kuerbin Rime
In addition to Jilin, Heilongjiang's Yichun also has rime. The rime in the Yichun Kuerbin Rime Scenic Area, when the sun shines through the morning mist into the forest, the ice and snow on the tree will emit a crystal light, a unique world, and it feels worth the hardship of coming. If you visit in the early morning, the mist is lingering, watching the best time for the rime to form, like a string of treasures hanging on the tree trunk
7. Gannan
Like Tibet, winter in Gannan belongs to him and all believers. Snow in Gannan, thousands of mountains and white snow, monks in red. The once brilliant grassland is dressed in silver, and the Yellow River, Tao River, Daxia River, and Bailong River are jade trees and jasper carvings at this time. After the snow in Gannan, it is quiet but not lacking in warmth,

Golden Temple - Nestled above the clouds!
⛩️🏯Nestled atop a mist-covered mountain, the Golden Temple is a divine marvel that captivates the soul. On a rainy day, its ethereal beauty emerges through the veil of clouds, with temples appearing and disappearing like apparitions.
🏔️ To reach this celestial sanctuary, a one and a half hour bus ride from Baoguo temple transports you to Leidongping, followed by an invigorating hour and a half uphill walk or a convenient cable car ascent. Opting for the walk, I relished every step, surrounded by serenity and tranquility. As I ascended, the air grew colder, demanding preparation for the summit.
🌄 The Golden Temple itself, adorned in resplendent gold, exudes a breathtaking radiance that beholds the beholder. For the intrepid, staying in one of the mini monasteries adds an adventurous touch. Alternatively, the top houses a selection of hotels, allowing the fortunate to witness awe-inspiring sunsets and sunrises. This sacred mountain attracts devotees and pilgrims from across China, seeking spiritual solace. Should you desire to offer incense or candles, I recommend procuring them in the town, as temple prices are steep.

Emei in winter, the beauty of the unpredictable things 🙏Emei Mountain, China's four major Buddhist mountains, is the temple of the Puxian Bodhisattva.
❄️ Emei after snow is more like a fairyland. Although the snow makes the mountain road more difficult to walk, it is worth it to be tired again for the dream-like beauty.
❄️ Walking on the path of Mount Emei, the seaside is overturned by clouds, and the fog is upside down on both sides, so beautiful that people do not know where to look.
❄️ At an altitude of 3079 meters, it is the Golden Dome of Mount Emei, overlooking the Gongga Snow Mountain in the distance, people immediately forget the world's troubles.

In the Mahayana Buddhism, there is no Dharma in the highest realm. The three Buddhas in the Huayan world are the Vishnu Buddha, the wonderful auspicious bodhisattva, and the Manjushri Bodhisattva and the Ten-Party Samantabhadra. Yamano-kun, with his love for the Dharma, loved the house and came to the Emei Mountain of the Dojo's Dojo. In Buddhism, the Samantabhadra Bodhisattva means great morality and practice throughout the legal world. It is a practice of the great wisdom of Manjusri and the Buddha of the Nirvana in the big world. Therefore, coming to Mount Emei will take this practice as the outline of the mentality.
In fact, Shan Yejun and Puxian Bodhisattva are not too close, and Emei Mountain is a deeper fate.
During the time I arrived at Mount Emei, the weather was excellent. When I left, the climate changed dramatically. From the bright sunshine of Wanli Wanlitian to the scene of the mist.

Emei Mountain is known as the Silver World in winter. The Emei Mountain after the snow is a dream that has just been awakened. The snow is pressed against the green trees, and the ice crystals are wrapped in safflower, showing a beauty that cannot be revealed by the snow in the north. At the beginning of December every year, when the snow fluttering in Emei Mountain, from the top of the mountain to the foot of the mountain, the snow slowly infiltrates and condenses, naturally showing the strange shapes it creates; from the golden dome overlooking the Gongga Snow Mountain, the mountains are full of silver. Packed up.
Winter Emei Mountain has become the most amazing place in the world. There are Yabuli-like ice and snow, Jilin-like smog, and more Hainan-like sunshine. The snow in the north is too rough, and the whole earth is covered with the whole world. The world is white, and there is a lack of grace and flexibility. The snow in the south, too far from Sven, seems to be hidden in the deep girl, unable to find her figure. Only the snow of Mount Emei is not unrestrained, but it is more gentle. The two are perfectly combined, so that you can't stop thinking and can't help but revel in the hot springs that are known as the nobles in the hot springs. The largest alpine ski resort in southwestern China; the winter gathering here is the most beautiful and fascinating landscape between heaven and earth.

I want to visit this hidden gem hot spring inn in Emei Mountain 10,000 times
As soon as the weekend arrives, I want to escape the city💨 and go to Banwei‼️
This week, we took a 1-hour train ride from Chengdu to a forest inn with a small stream where you can see fireflies🌳.
🏨: Emei Mountain Fangyunji Inn
The inn is located near Qingyin Pavilion halfway up Emei Mountain🍃, making it very suitable for family trips.
Here, there is also a clear stream where you can eat ice-cold watermelon🍉 and have water fights‼️
What surprised me the most was that at night, you can see fireflies🦗 just a few minutes' walk from the inn. We even encountered small snails along the way, which are rare in the city. Little Potato was very excited🥰.
At night, walk down the slope from the inn to the stream, turn off all the lights~
Instantly, you will see many twinkling little elves flying past your eyes, a group of little elves🧚 flying together~ so beautiful.
After getting tired of playing, we returned to the room, opened the private hot spring with mountain spring water to relax~ so, so, so comfortable😌.
In the morning after the rain, opening your eyes to a view full of greenery, the air is so fresh~ full of negative ions~
Waking up slowly and going downstairs for breakfast🥣, I must praise the breakfast for being impressive, with a wide variety and good ingredients.
🌬️ This summer, let's take the kids into the mountains together
Get close to nature🍃
Enjoy the bright moon and gentle breeze
Feel the fireflies flickering
This magical firefly night spent in Emei Mountain
is a beautiful midsummer night memory exclusive to Little Potato~
👍️Recommendation Reason: After enjoying the Golden Summit of Emei Mountain, you can descend to the halfway point and start the second phase, pure climbing. I prefer climbing down.
If you drive, you can drive from Zero Road to Wannian Temple parking lot. Buy the Wannian Temple cableway ticket, and you can go directly to Wannian Temple.
📅Travel Guide: Wannian Temple---Qingyin Pavilion---Wuxiangang; a total of 6 kilometers. Climb the mountain while enjoying the scenery, a climber's passion.
Wannian Temple is one of the oldest ancient temples in Emei Mountain. During the 70th birthday of Emperor Shenzong's mother, a beamless brick hall was specially built. The plaque reads "Sacred Longevity Wannian Temple." Inside the beamless brick hall is a bronze statue of Samantabhadra, sitting on a lotus throne on the back of a six-tusked white elephant, inlaid with six precious pearls. The temple also houses precious relics such as Buddha's tooth, palm-leaf scriptures, and sarira. In autumn, the forest is colorful, and the red leaves are intoxicating. The white water pool in the temple ripples with clear waves, frog sounds like a zither, and the fragrance of osmanthus fills the air, making one feel refreshed and happy. Therefore, it is called "White Water Autumn Wind," one of the ten sceneries of Emei.
The Emei spiritual monkeys are famous for their various climbing and jumping skills. However, when we went, it might have been too hot, so we didn't see them.
On the way, there is a temple called Bailong Cave. Behind the temple, there were originally two caves, upper and lower Bailong, which are said to be the cultivation place of the White Lady, hence the name. Bailong Cave is divided into front and rear halls. The front hall is called the Three Saints Hall, enshrining the Three Saints of the West and Weituo. The rear hall is the Mahavira Hall, enshrining the Three Saints of Huayan, Medicine Buddha, Guanyin, and Ksitigarbha. In addition, the temple also has living fossil tree ferns and the legendary Three-Life Stone, which is said to have fallen to the human world when Nuwa was mending the sky. The temple is surrounded by a lush Phoebe forest, known as the Ancient Virtue Forest, with towering Phoebe trees, green clouds covering the sun, and verdant greenery.
🏨Accommodation Guide: Various homestays at the foot of the mountain
💗Other Tips: In the hot summer, bring water, mosquito repellent, a fan, and a hat for climbing. There are many routes to play in Emei Mountain, so plan ahead and do what you can.

Prayers at the Golden Summit of Mount Emei
✅ Mount Emei is located on the southwestern edge of the Sichuan Basin, bordered by the vast Hengduan Mountains to the west and the fertile plains crisscrossed by rivers to the east. Rising steeply from the Chengdu Plain with an average altitude of 200 meters to the majestic mountain of 3099 meters, it encompasses most of the geomorphological features, forming a unique three-dimensional natural landscape and an ancient plant kingdom. Due to space limitations, I will not elaborate further.
✅ 'Shu has many fairy mountains, but Emei is unparalleled.' Buddhism was introduced to China in the first century AD, and many sects integrated and developed their own characteristics. After Xuanzang brought back Mahayana Buddhism, the three saints of Huayan Buddhism—Sakyamuni Buddha (the Lord), Manjushri Bodhisattva (Wisdom), and Samantabhadra Bodhisattva (Virtue)—along with the three saints of the West—Amitabha Buddha (Compassionate Wisdom), Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva (Compassionate Goodwill)—received the most extensive worship. Mount Emei is the dojo of Samantabhadra Bodhisattva.
✅ To pray at Mount Emei, drive to Leidongping, then hike up the mountain. The water vapor rising from the plains below forms clouds and mist at mid-mountain, casting shadowy figures as they walk through the clouds, with the dew-wet pines and cypresses still cold from the snow. Past the Jieyin Hall is the steep Zuantian Slope, where the wind scatters the clouds, and the mountain gate under the blue sky appears before you, with the golden characters of 'Huazang World' dazzling in the light.
✅ Enter the mountain gate, turn past a slope, and the Golden Summit of Mount Emei comes into view: white elephants in pairs on both sides, red lanterns swaying in the wind, and wide stone steps leading straight to the heavens. A giant Buddha sits serenely in mid-air, radiating golden light, dignified and majestic. Visitors swarm like fish, all shaken, both believers and non-believers alike, standing at the foot of the steps, palms together, chanting the Buddha's name three times: 'Namo Mahasamantabhadra Bodhisattva'.
✅ The Golden Summit of Mount Emei is 3077 meters above sea level, and it is a wonder that such a large flat area has formed on the steep mountaintop. The golden body of Samantabhadra Bodhisattva, Huazang Hall, Guanyin Hall, Golden Hall, and many other buildings seem to float above the boundless sea of clouds. Mount Emei has many temples, not just the Golden Summit; there are also many natural wonders such as the sea of clouds, sunrise, Buddha's halo, spiritual monkeys, and caves. Due to space limitations, more will be discussed later.
✅ As the sun sets in the west and the wind grows stronger, people become scarce. The shadows of the tall temples stretch long, but only the golden body of the Bodhisattva shines with thousands of rays of rosy light, illuminating all beings. The distant sound of the bell seems to convey the heart's voice: 'First, pray for the nation's peace and the people's safety; second, for favorable weather; third, for blessings of longevity and health.'
Traveling the world to revisit old dreams, the subtle fragrance fills the sleeves, intoxicated by the western wind.
Continuously updating, beautiful Sichuan invites you to enjoy together.

Mount Emei in Sichuan is Great 🗻🇨🇳
#chinatrip
"The journey up Mount Emei seems complex before starting, as I came across various confusing guides online. However, upon arrival, I discovered that the routes were actually quite straightforward! 🏞️ There are two main ways to reach the top: 1) from Baoguo Temple, Fuhu Temple, and Qingyin Pavilion (you can drive to Leidongping from Wuxiangang parking lot), or Wannian Temple (accessible by car to Leidongping from Wannian Temple parking lot); and 2) from Leidongping (you can take a car or cableway to the next stop) to Jinding (accessible from Leidongping). 🚗🚠 If you start from Huangwan Tourist Center, you can reach Qingyin Pavilion directly, or transfer to Leidongping if you drive to zero kilometers. ⛰️ Before embarking on the hike, it's important to plan carefully

As the journey progresses, the audience also enters one story after another. Through the three theaters of 'Above the Clouds', 'In the Clouds', and 'Below the Clouds', it brings tourists a unique tourism performance experience with methods of reality and illusion, freehand and blank-leaving, expression and detachment.

Emei Mountain Cableway Guesthouse
The Emei Mountain Cableway Guesthouse was originally planned for a night's stay at the temple to experience it, but since I have a Home Return Permit as a Hongkonger, they couldn't accommodate me. The most satisfying part of this trip was booking this accommodation. It offers great value for money, is right next to the cableway, doesn't require getting up at 4 am to see the sunrise, has a beautiful view, the rooms have underfloor heating which is very warm, and the staff are very friendly and enthusiastic.

The beauty of Mount Emei
During summer, while most places are scorched by the blazing sun and on high temperature alert, Mount Emei feels like a gentle spring breeze, cool and refreshing. Although we often describe the weather changes and diverse scenery of Mount Emei with the saying 'one mountain hosts all four seasons, ten miles show different skies,' summer is when it's at its most beautiful. It's like climbing and playing in the water, sipping tea and practicing Zen, listening to cicadas and watching monkeys... all in a huge natural air-conditioned room—utterly delightful! The weather here changes on a whim, and the sky might suddenly start drizzling, breaking the calm of the lake surface, but there's no need to worry about the next day's photo opportunities. Little do people know, the lake after the rain becomes even more enchanting. A tranquil lake surface might suddenly be enveloped by a rising mist, twisting and turning, shadowy and dreamlike. The water here is ice-cold to the bone, completely free from the city's sweltering heat.

May Day holiday third stop: Emei Mountain
➊ Tickets for the entrance, sightseeing bus (round trip), Jinding cable car (upward), and Jinding cable car (downward) all need to be purchased separately.
❷ There are two entrances for the Jinding cable car, the circulating type and the reciprocating type. Both can go downward. The circulating type fits 6 people per car, and the reciprocating type fits 100 people per car. The former is boarded at the upward station, while the latter is boarded at the tourist center after visiting the Golden Summit. Both are called Jinding cable car [Be sure not to buy the Wannian cable car by mistake, the Wannian cable car is halfway up the mountain).
❸ The uphill boarding point at Baoguo Temple Passenger Center is next to the food street, with a total duration of 2 hours, no stops in between. If you get carsick, be sure to sit in the front row. The downhill trip only goes to and you need to transfer to the scenic area bus to get to Baoguo Temple--Baoguo Temple Passenger Center-Emei Mountain High-speed Train Station. The last bus from Leidongping returns at 5:30 pm, be sure to catch it, otherwise, you can only stay at Leidongping.
❹ Inside the Leidongping Passenger Center, there are free QR code-scannable walking sticks available for use. If you miss it, be sure to buy a bamboo pole to assist with climbing. It's very, very tiring to walk to the cable car.
❺ There are human-powered sedans for climbing at Leidongping, costing 480/person for going up the mountain, and 380/person for going down.
❻ We were 2 adults and 1 child, arriving at Baoguo Temple Passenger Station at 9 am, and returning to the starting point at 6 pm. The total time for ascending and descending the mountain was 4 hours, climbing for 1.5 hours, queuing for the cable car for 1.5 hours, and playing at the Golden Summit for 2 hours.
⑦ The postcards in the Jinding cultural and creative store are very beautiful, and there is a mailbox where you can affix stamps and mail them out.
Grateful for the journey of Emei Mountain with an original heart_
