Let’s just say we are really lucky! ! The sun is out and I can see the golden mountain in the sun I encountered a free ticket when taking the cable car. The experience of the scenic spot holding activities and limiting the flow of people is simply too good to be true! ! 🚶Personal experience of time-saving and labor-saving route: Take the sightseeing bus 🚌 from the entrance of the scenic area to Camp No. 3—transfer to the cable car 🚡 to Camp No. 4 (for taking photos and playing in the snow)—take the cable car 🚡 back to Camp No. 3 and walk along the plank road to the next supply point: the scenery along the way is so beautiful! Just take a picture and you will be in the ice and snow fairy tale world—take the sightseeing bus to the entrance of the scenic area. 🏠Accommodation: It is recommended to stay in Moxi Ancient Town (right at the entrance of Hailuogou Scenic Area). You can soak in hot springs the night before and climb the snow-capped mountains the next day. Basically, all larger B&Bs have private hot springs. It is worth mentioning that one of our nitpicking friends went to the place where the hot spring is pumped to check and confirmed that it is indeed the town hot spring, not the secondary heating of the boiler. That’s awesome! ps: The road condition from Chongqing to Hailuogou is good, almost the entire journey is on the highway, and the journey takes about 3-4 hours, which is completely suitable for ordinary cars. There are many monkeys in the Hailuogou Scenic Area, but they are definitely different species from the monkeys in Mount Emei. The monkeys here are more friendly and will not approach people. 📣: Hit the key points❗️❗️ 🌟Sunglasses🕶️, sunscreen, lip balm, gloves🧤must bring! 🌟(Body, insoles, hand warmers, mobile phones) all need warmers, we use [Weicon] and it feels pretty good👍 tour
