The top of the mountain is covered in snow ❄️ It's like a dreamland created by a fairy…. . ⭕️Location: Hongya County, Meishan City, Sichuan Province ⭕️Transportation: 🔸Self-driving: Navigate to Wawushan Scenic Area (3 hours from Chengdu, 7 hours from Chongqing) 🔸Direct bus to the scenic area: Search for "Wawushan Scenic Area" in the WeChat mini program to buy tickets (departing from Chengdu) 🔸High-speed train: Chengdu to Meishan East . Tips for visiting the scenic area 1️⃣ Go one day in advance and stay near the scenic area. It is recommended to arrive at the scenic area before 7:30 am to queue up for entry. There will be fewer people and the snow on the mountain will be thicker in the morning. Important❗ It is recommended to go on weekdays, as there will be many people on weekends and long queues for the cable car❗ The experience will be poor. 2️⃣ It is recommended to take the cable car all the way and leave the play time for the top of the mountain. There are two cable cars in total, with a short walk of about 10 minutes between the two cable cars. The ride time for both cable cars is about 15 minutes. 3️⃣ It is recommended to leave the play time for the top of the mountain. Wawushan is a table mountain⛰️ The top of the mountain is a flat plank road, no climbing is required. A walk around the top of the mountain is about 5 km, and the play time is 3-4 hours. 4️⃣ Route on the top of the mountain ⭕️ Those with good physical strength can walk the entire 5 km. Attractions along the way: West View of Gongga, Sea of Clouds, Mandarin Duck Pool, Xiaoyao Bridge, Deadwood Path ⭕️ Those with poor physical strength are recommended to go to the right after getting off the second cable car (this section is more beautiful than the latter section), and return to the cable car after reaching the Mandarin Duck Pool. 5️⃣ It is recommended to go down the mountain at off-peak times. To avoid queuing❗ It is recommended to go up the mountain at 8 am and go down the mountain before 1 pm⛰️ On weekdays, you can take the cable car smoothly without queuing. If you go down the mountain after 3 pm, you will probably need to queue for the cable car, and the queue will be longer on weekends. 6️⃣ Precautions 1. Bring waterproof gloves, scarves, etc. It is not cold on the top of the mountain, so you don't need to wear too much. 2. The snow is very slippery, so be sure to wear non-slip shoes👟 and bring crampons. 3. The prices on the top of the mountain are normal. There is free hot water, and you can bring your own instant noodles. 4. You may encounter squirrels and raccoons. You can bring some dry food to feed them. See an Ice Age by the sea

Wawu Mountain Day Trip: Stunning Sea of Clouds and Lanxi Cliff Walkway 🌞 The weather was great today, so I booked a day trip on Trip.com for only CNY 68! 🚗 We met at Taipingyuan at 7:20 am and set off. We arrived at Wawu Mountain Visitor Center at around 10:40 am and started our adventure. 📌 Our route was as follows: ✨ Ticket Tips: We bought a round-trip ticket for 2 cable cars, which cost CNY 160 in total, including the Jinhua Bridge Cable Car and the Gufoping Cable Car. As soon as we entered the park, we took two cable cars directly to the highest point. From there, we hiked along the Wawu Xiantai Walkway. The walkway passes through a fir forest, and the scenery is beautiful, perfect for taking photos 📷. It took us more than an hour to reach Xiang'er Villa. 🏞️ After a short break at Xiang'er Villa, we continued on to the highlight of Wawu Mountain - the Lanxi Cliff Walkway. The scenery along this walkway is stunning, especially the Lanxi Waterfall, which is breathtaking! I highly recommend you come here 📸. Also, because the weather was so good today, we were lucky enough to see the spectacular sea of clouds 🌄! 📢 Ps: The walkway closes at 1 pm, so make sure you enter before 1 pm if you want to experience it! It took us about three hours to walk down the walkway. At around 3:30 pm, we arrived at the Gufosi Cable Car Mid-Station. I recommend you come down early because there is a queue for the cable car. If you come down too late, the cable car will close at 5 pm, and you'll have to walk down 🚶‍♀️. ❗️ Notes: 1️⃣ There are a few spots on the walkway where waterfall water falls, so I recommend you wear a raincoat or bring a raincoat or umbrella ☔️ to avoid getting wet. 2️⃣ It's best to wear waterproof hiking boots or sneakers, as the road is often wet and slippery, to avoid slipping. Finally, we met at 5 pm and returned to Chengdu, ending this wonderful day trip to Wawu Mountain. I hope you can come and experience the stunning scenery here too!

Pictures speak louder than words ✌️ Lijiang is a nice place but a bit too touristy already. Been there two times now and it’s always fun to stroll around, although two days are more then enough. Best you get a rental car and just drive around and explore the mountains, rivers, nature and cultures in villages close by. Getting There - cab, bus, train Attractions - old town, although already very touristy Hotels - small boutique hotels inside the city, plenty of options all around Food & Restaurants - local options, commercialized but still some local vendors can be found at the corner of the old town #travel

🚶‍♂️ Recently, Wawu Mountain has been stealing the spotlight for trips around Chengdu! After a visit, I can only say: Wawu Mountain is full of delightful surprises, making you exclaim "Wow" in admiration! This trip was fantastic, so I quickly compiled my pleasant light hiking experience into a guide to share with everyone, hoping it can serve as a reference for those planning to visit Wawu Mountain~🌿 🌷 **Must-Know Before You Go: Timing & Transportation** Wawu Mountain is stunning, but it's not suited for "marathon-style" travel. The drive alone takes about 3 hours one way, making a same-day round trip extremely rushed and exhausting. Strongly recommend 🚗 self-driving travelers to stay near Yamu Lake at the mountain's base the night before. Enjoy a meal, get a good night's sleep, and set off the next morning. From your lodging to Wawu Mountain Scenic Area, it's just a 20-minute drive—relaxed and stress-free. 💫 **Scenic Area Overview: Well-Equipped & Family-Friendly** Wawu Mountain's facilities and trails are well-built and maintained, making it suitable for visitors of all ages and fitness levels. For leisure seekers like me who prefer a relaxed pace, I found a great route: about 3 hours of hiking and sightseeing, covering roughly 7 km, mostly downhill, making it very comfortable. 🎫 **Ticket Purchase Tip for Leisure Travelers** Important reminder for leisure travelers: Be sure to buy the "round-trip cable car" ticket package! The scenic area has two cable car sections: Jinhua Bridge to Gufo Ping, and Gufo Ping to the summit. These cable rides are perfect for saving energy and enjoying the views—don’t skip them to save money. 🏃‍♂️ **My Light Hiking Route Breakdown** Here’s the leisure-friendly route I took for reference: ① **Upon arrival**, head straight to the "Jinhua Bridge" cable car station and take it up to "Gufo Ping." The views along this ride are already impressive. ② At "Gufo Ping," don’t linger too long—switch to the second cable car to the summit. Note: The Gufo Ping cable car has a "mid-station." If you’re aiming for an easy summit trip, ignore the mid-station and ride straight to the "upper station" at the top. ③ At the summit, take a breather before starting the real hike. Follow the signs for about 2 km to reach the breathtaking "Yuanyang Pool." The serene water and stunning surroundings make it a perfect photo spot! Depending on your energy and schedule, you can take a shuttle (¥10/person) from Yuanyang Pool to "Xiang'er Villa" for a short break or more sightseeing. 💪 **The Challenge Begins: Scenery & Stamina** From here, it’s mostly a one-way downhill trek (though you can turn back if needed, but you’d miss some of the best views!). This ~6 km stretch requires some stamina, but the downhill slope makes it manageable with a little perseverance. ④ **Lanxi Cliff Walk downhill entrance** → **Half-Mountain Gallery** → **Gufo Ping Cable Car Mid-Station** This section is the absolute highlight of Wawu Mountain, packed with jaw-dropping scenery. We took our time, completing it in about 3+ hours with plenty of stops. 🌟 Pro tip: The Lanxi Cliff Walk downhill entrance closes after 1:30 PM. While enforcement may be flexible, it’s best to start early. Also, **bring an umbrella or raincoat!** You’ll pass under several waterfalls, and the mist or rain might drench you—but the coolness and awe are unforgettable! ⑤ At the "Gufo Ping Cable Car Mid-Station," our well-planned hike concludes! Relax and take the cable car down, ending your wonderful Wawu Mountain adventure. 💡 **PS:** Refer to Figure 2 for the route map mentioned in the guide!
