Hailuogou, a place favored by nature. The mountains here are undulating and towering into the clouds. The peaks are covered with snow, and under the sun, they sparkle with silver light, like a group of mighty guards, guarding this quiet land. The clouds and mist in the mountains are like gauze, adding a mysterious color to the peaks. Sometimes, the clouds and mist will gradually dissipate, revealing the true face of the green hills, the green color is refreshing, as if it is a picture drawn by nature with the most delicate strokes. Entering Hailuogou, the spectacular glacier immediately comes into view. The huge ice body seems to be pouring down from the sky, with a majestic momentum.

The pristine rime, like a crystal forest from a fairy tale, set against the blue sky, white clouds, and towering snow-capped mountains, paints a picture of a poetic and extraordinary winter wonderland. Every leaf and blade of grass is exquisitely adorned by the rime, and as the sunlight penetrates through, it sparkles with a million dazzling rays, resplendent and magnificent.

Personal Experience Sharing During my trip to Hailuogou Gongga Snow Mountain to see the Golden Mountain, I arrived in Moxi Town a day in advance. To enjoy the best view of the Golden Mountain, I arrived at the scenic area early the next morning. It was a bit cold at the time, but when the golden sunlight gradually shone on the snow-capped mountains, the shock was indescribable. I suggest you arrive at the scenic area in advance and choose a place with a wide view to wait. During the waiting process, the surrounding tourists were very quiet, and everyone was immersed in the spectacular scenery. Also, keep warm, because waiting for a long time in cold weather can easily freeze you. At the same time, be patient, because the time of the Golden Mountain is not fixed and may change due to weather and other factors. When you see the Golden Mountain, you will feel that all the waiting is worth it.

Hailuogou Homestay | Snow-capped mountains and hot springs are a perfect match 🏔️♨️ Hailuogou Hot Spring has always been top-notch in my heart. Imagine soaking in a steaming natural hot spring in the cold winter with snow flying all over the sky, looking at the snow-capped King of Shu Mountains, Gongga Mountain, in the distance. It is so romantic. Unfortunately, the earthquake in 2022 destroyed the hot spring with the best view in Hailuogou, the No. 2 Camp, and it has not yet been restored. It was a coincidence that I stayed at this homestay this time. I originally made an appointment with a friend to climb Longhua Mountain, but the elders in my family also wanted to join us for the climb, so the accommodation could not be compromised. After careful selection, I finally decided on Lanshan Baiyunli. Facts have proved that the choice is very correct. The homestay is in a superior location, located halfway up the mountain near Moxi Ancient Town. On a clear day, you can see the east slope of Gongga Mountain, the 6,000-meter-high Jinyin Mountain, and the Great Icefall. In autumn and winter, you are likely to see the golden mountain at sunrise. The hot spring in the homestay is also directly drawn from the source of natural hot spring water, not a fake hot spring heated by a boiler. It has a faint smell of sulfur. When the housekeeper was filling the water, I saw that the water temperature was 48 degrees. The homestay has only 8 rooms in total, and we booked the whole place this weekend. The owner said that after opening in 2019, the pandemic and then the earthquake hit, so the occupancy rate has not been high, so the facilities are still quite new. If I have to pick a fault, the road up the mountain is very narrow and quite bad, which is a bit difficult for those with poor driving skills. The food in the homestay is also relatively simple. Breakfast is a Chinese set meal with porridge, steamed buns, and fried eggs. Dinner only has yak hot pot and mushroom chicken soup, and the price is slightly expensive. Overall, it is a good choice to bring family and puppies here for the weekend, and the elders are also very satisfied. I should come again when it snows in winter~
