The Hidden Gem of Yuncheng Yongji—Snowflake Mountain Can't Be Hidden! It Takes 8 Hours to Summit, Surrounded by Mountains and Water All the Way! Pure Beauty!
Speaking of the tourist attractions in our Yuncheng, the well-known culturally rich sites are Guan Di Temple, Shun Emperor Park, Pujiu Temple, Stork Tower, and so on. For mountain and water scenery, there are Shentan Grand Canyon and Wulao Peak. Those who have visited them naturally already find them no longer fresh. There is another place—some know it as a niche spot, yet it's not widely known to everyone, but it is truly a hidden treasure—that is Snowflake Mountain. Just from the name, the word "Snowflake" alone has already endowed this mountain with endless romance, making people unable to help but feel joy, and causing countless visitors who come seeking it to be captivated. Snowflake Mountain is located 3 kilometers east of Yongji City, about a 1-hour drive from Yuncheng city center. There, the reverence for nature and its rendering are just right, preserving the rustic purity of the original wild mountain forest while also providing infrastructure, accommodation, leisure, and other spaces to meet your various needs. This place can satisfy the needs of all kinds of people. Besides mountain climbing and experiencing culture, if you are young people, you can come to enjoy bonfires, wild-style accommodation, and other special features. If you are middle-aged, you can come fishing, have fun with outdoor cooking. If you bring your family, with children, you will feel perfectly at ease and content. From the moment you step into Snowflake Mountain, you will be deeply immersed, and this is the charm of Snowflake Mountain, and even more so the unique charm of nature. If we were to describe the mountain here with words used for people, it would be very simple. Even if you are used to seeing grand mountains and rivers elsewhere, this place will still make your heart flutter. The green, lush mountains can heal all the fog in your heart. Please temporarily forget the complexities of work, leadership, and interpersonal relationships. Steal a few moments of leisure from a busy life. Please temporarily forget those unpleasant moments at home. Together, be a happy child for a day. Simple happiness is enough. Conquer a mountain. Listen to the tranquility of flowing water. Watch the spectacular waterfall plunge. Watch groups of fish swim freely back and forth in the water. In your own way, leave behind touching moments for this trip. Snowflake Mountain: Between mountains and water, a quiet and pure natural beauty. On a scale of 5 stars for mountain climbing, I give Snowflake Mountain 3 stars, because along the way it is mostly smooth, but the steep parts are also thrilling enough that elderly people cannot easily climb up. The paths are well-paved, all stone steps, and the scenery that greets the eyes is very primitive. In the current season, everything along the way is green, with small flowers visible everywhere. Just the layers of green here are enough for people to take countless beautiful photos. Traveling through the mountains, if you don't reach the top, you have no chance to overlook the full view of Snowflake Mountain. Step by step forward, here you will only feel very, very small. The summit of Snowflake Mountain is more than 8 kilometers from the entrance. Due to physical strength and other itinerary arrangements, few people manage to reach the end. Along the way, there are many waterfalls and small pools evenly distributed. When tired from walking, sitting by the water to rest and wash your face is an excellent way to refresh. You will also pass through several tunnels of varying lengths, as well as natural chasms, which add much fun to the journey. What I like most are the groups of fish swimming back and forth in the water, their clear blue water making it hard for me to move away. If I could, I would sit by the side, under the warm sun, and spend the afternoon with them. As for the mountain and water scenery here, you can only appreciate it by experiencing it yourself. Whenever you go, it welcomes you with its unique charm. Blow the cultural rallying horn: heavy heritage waiting for a thousand years. Besides the original mountain and water scenery, there is also much cultural content worth savoring and pondering. First recommendation: Jinnan Folk Custom Expo Park. This is the largest folk custom expo park in southern Shanxi, with a total of ten exhibition halls. The halls display a large collection of folk stone carvings, stone tools, antique wooden furniture, labor tools, daily utensils, and other items reflecting Hedong culture and folk customs. Each exhibition hall has its own theme, allowing you to fully appreciate folk stone carving art, experience the lifestyle of our ancestors, and feel the folk customs of Hedong. Second recommendation: Stone carving art exhibition. Along the way, you can see lifelike stone carvings everywhere, very vivid and cute. There are also various types of stone tablets, including merit tablets, blessings and longevity tablets, memorial tablets of virtuous deeds, educational tablets, monument tablets, boundary tablets, etc. You can observe what is carrying the tablets. Many people think it is a turtle, but it is actually Bixi, the eldest of the nine sons of the dragon. Visitors here all touch its head to pray for good fortune—it is said to be very effective! Third recommendation: Juxian Pavilion and Jade Emperor Hall. Juxian Pavilion is a place where local people worship and pray. There are two temple fairs every year on the 18th of the second lunar month and the 3rd of the ninth lunar month. In Jade Emperor Hall, you can offer incense and kowtow to pray for good luck. At this time, the large peonies nearby are blooming very charmingly, adding a touch of beauty to the wishes made. Other places such as Ancient Hall, Nine Heavens Mysterious Woman Hall, Auspicious Beasts Hall, etc., you can explore gradually when you go. Seeing these historical items with traces of time amidst green mountains and clear water is also a very happy experience. Along the way, there is also a Dragon King Temple, next to which is a natural sweet spring. Visitors often use mineral water bottles or their own cups to collect some—refreshing and sweet, it is excellent for brewing tea and beneficial to health. Entertainment and fun: Love to play and know how to play is most important. Besides enjoying scenery and culture, entertainment is also essential. Snowflake Mountain is very generous; the most popular is the #net celebrity glass bridge#. Without going far from home, you can still scream with excitement. Anyway, I boasted that I wasn't afraid, but when I got up there, I was slapped in the face. Sister Yan knows that ladies love to take photos the most.
