Foolproof Guide 📍 Experience Heavy Snowfall in the South (Winter Essentials)
Winter is the season for snow. Today, without leaving Sichuan, let's experience heavy snowfall in the south! Choose your destination based on time:
❶ 1–2 days👉 Skiing in Dujiangyan. Dujiangyan, the backyard of Chengdu, not only satisfies your needs for food, drink, and fun, but also offers skiing. Most importantly, it's convenient. You can go and return in a day. Friends who love skiing can consider arranging it~
🚗【Transport】Chengdu–Dujiangyan 65 km, 1.5 hours by car, 20 minutes by high-speed rail
📍Sunac Snow World: About 2–3 km from the high-speed rail station, suitable for ski enthusiasts to practice whenever they have time~
📍Zhongshuge: This popular bookstore is right opposite the ski resort, with a top-notch sci-fi and magical feel.
📍Nanqiao: If you don't go to Nanqiao to see the night view, you've wasted your trip! Spectacular and romantic – those who go know.

A hidden gem homestay in the ancient town, very exquisite.
❷ 2–3 days👉 Praying and seeing snow at Mount Emei. In the special period of 2020, praying at the Golden Summit has good meaning. This season, the Golden Summit is already covered in heavy snow.
🚗【Transport】Chengdu–Mount Emei 165 km, 2.5 hours by car, 1 hour by high-speed rail
💡【Activities】🎫 Ticket 185. To climb Mount Emei, either take a car to Leidongping, or hike or take a car. It is recommended to take the car to Leidongping, stay overnight, then take the cable car up to the Golden Summit early the next morning. If you want to see the sunrise, you must get up early and queue for the cable car. For hiking: it is recommended to hike to Xianfeng Temple on the first day, stay overnight, then go to Leidongping on the second day, and the rest is the same as the car route~
