Xiling Snow Mountain Leisure Travel Notes

Failure to do your homework is a cheating thing when traveling to Xiling Snow Mountain. Pack your things and get ready to go. The route I checked is to take a bus from Jinsha Station to Dayi County, then transfer to Xiling Town, take Metro Line 1, transfer to Line 2 at Tianfu Square, then get off at that hospital and transfer to the bus to Jinsha Station.

However, I couldn’t find Jinsha Station no matter how I got off the train. Baidu Map Navigation reported at the beginning that I had arrived but I had no choice but to go around and still not find the station. I asked Xiling Snow Mountain Scenic Area. The driver who was waiting near the stop sign had already dismantled his car and had to take an electric car and rush to Chadianzi Passenger Terminal.

After coming down to the tea shop in Xiling Snow Mountain Scenic Area, we got on the bus to Dayi County (22 yuan, including insurance). It took less than an hour to arrive at Dayi County, and we entered the station. It takes about a little more than an hour to buy a ticket to Xiling Town (9.5 yuan).

On the bus from Dayi County to Xiling Town, the bus driver asked if he was going to Xiling Snow Mountain and said he wanted to share a car somewhere. After getting off the bus, he went directly to find something to eat, which is behind this statue. , I had a stir-fried bacon (30 yuan) from that store and it tasted average.

It’s very strange that this store has a menu, meat dishes 3035 vegetarian dishes 1015. It seems like this. When I came back, the friends I met on the mountain didn’t understand the dialect, so they didn’t communicate well.

After eating, I went to look for a car. Because it was drizzling all the time, I rented a car to go to Qianmen (40 yuan). Xiling Snow Mountain is divided into front mountain and back mountain. The back mountain is where the ski resort is. Tickets for Xiling Snow Mountain can be taken directly up the cable car. The front mountain is hiked by travelers. Sharing a car to the back mountain will be more expensive, 15 yuan per person, and 10 yuan per person for the front mountain.

I briefly chatted with the driver and talked about tickets. He recommended his tickets to me. It was 30 yuan, which was not cheap for me. I didn’t plan to ask him for tickets, so I didn’t ask for them. After the station, when I got off the bus, I asked the master where to buy tickets. The master pointed to the back and said over there. I was thinking, buy tickets over there, drag me in and die. Finally, I thought I wanted to go back, so I bought a ticket from the driver. Who knew it was free of charge.

The driver who suffered a thousand bucks also checked before going there that Chengdu offers free admission to Xiling Snow Mountain from 6.30-11.30. Huh? The time to climb down the mountain is 12:40. The driver said at that time that he wanted to stay At the foot of the mountain, I thought: If I live at the foot of the mountain, I might see the sunrise over the sea of ??clouds tomorrow morning, so I thought of staying at a farmhouse in Xiling Snow Mountain, halfway up the mountain.

The guide also said that farmhouses are very cheap, so I firmly believed that there would be farmhouses on the mountain, so I climbed and climbed. The first climb was to the Xiling Snow Mountain Scenic Area, which had no scenery at all. I met four college friends on the mountain. One is a senior and one is a freshman.

At an altitude of 2100, there was a sign suggesting going down the mountain, but it was already past 4 o'clock at 2100, and it was getting dark when we went down. Everyone had fantasies, saying that there would be a farmhouse and Xiling Snow Mountain scenery at 2700. But at 2700 hours in the district, it was already 6:30, and it was getting dark. When I saw a pile of ruins, I lost all hope and began to worry about the night.

Because the guides I checked all said there were farmhouses, but they didn’t bring tents, and there wasn’t enough food and water.

Around 1900, we also encountered such a wooden house. It was an unfinished farmhouse. There was also one around 2700. We went to explore it and decided to set up camp here. The wood of the house was demolished and covered with plastic sheets. We just went ahead with it. , put down the luggage, get firewood, and light a fire for the night.
