Isn’t it true that when winter comes, we southerners feel itchy and always want to see snow? Today I will tell you about some great places to enjoy snow around Guangdong👏. Nanyue Hengshan ⛰️ It is quite convenient to go to Hengshan from Guangdong. If you choose to take the high-speed rail, it only takes two and a half hours to drive from Guangzhou South to Hengshan West Station. If you start from Shenzhen North, it will take about two hours. Get off at Hengshan West Station, then transfer to a bus, and you can reach the foot of Hengshan Mountain in about 15 minutes. For those who drive by themselves, it takes about five hours. The best time to enjoy the snow in Hengshan is from the end of December to February of the following year. There are not many accommodation places in the scenic area, mainly distributed at the foot of the mountain and halfway up the mountain. If it snows, the sightseeing bus may be out of service, so we can only walk up on our own two legs. If you are not very physically strong, you can split the trip into two days. I think staying halfway up the mountain is a good choice. It’s about 5 kilometers of hiking from the halfway up the mountain to the top of the mountain. It usually takes about two and a half hours to walk. Not too tiring. Hengshan is quite cost-effective among the rime-viewing places around Guangdong, but there are relatively few places to stay, and it may take some effort to go up the mountain. Mangshan Wuzhi Peak Scenic Area ⛰️ If you take the high-speed rail, it only takes one and a half hours from Guangzhou South to Chenzhou Station, and two hours from Shenzhen North to Chenzhou Station. After leaving Chenzhou Station, it takes about an hour and a half to take a taxi to Mangshan, and it takes about four hours to drive there. The viewing period of Mangshan is also from the end of December to February. The accommodation there is mainly concentrated near Ximen. There are hot spring hotels, but the prices are a bit high. The advantage of Mangshan is that you can not only enjoy the snow scenery, but also enjoy the hot springs comfortably. The key is that you don’t have to climb the mountain. It is perfect for those of us who want to enjoy the snow easily. Jiangxi Lushan ⛰️ If you go from Guangzhou South to Lushan Station, you need to change trains, which takes about five hours in total; if you take the train from Guangzhou Station to Jiujiang Station, it will take 13 hours. The best time to enjoy the snow in Lushan Mountain is from the end of December to February. There are many B&Bs and hotels on the mountain, but in the peak snow season, the price is generally between 500 and 1,000 yuan. The snow scene in Lushan Mountain is quite unique. The snow is thick and not inferior to the snow scene in the north. You can have fun building a snowman there. Let me summarize it for you: Hengshan: Among the rime viewing options around Guangdong, the cost is relatively reasonable, but there are few accommodation places, and you may have to hike up the mountain when it snows. Mangshan: You can enjoy the snow and soak in hot springs without having to climb the mountain. There are many accommodation options in Ximen, among which hot spring hotels are more expensive. Lushan Mountain: The snow scenery is quite unique, the snow is abundant, and there are various accommodations on the mountain. The price increases to a certain extent in the peak season. You can choose the snow viewing destination you want to go to based on your actual situation, such as budget, physical strength, etc.

The cable car crosses about 5-6 mountains and takes about 20 minutes to reach the top. ✔ High-altitude cableway It only takes 18 minutes to experience the longest single-line cableway in China, 3.7 kilometers, and feel the sensation of being in the clouds 👉 Includes escalator + 140-meter-high Motianling elevator - Then walk along the plank road, which takes about 3-4 hours to walk around the mountain.

There are queues for cable cars and sightseeing cars, so it is best to allow 2 days. 3⃣ It is recommended to buy crampons in advance! The quality in the scenic area is not very good! The snow mountain is very slippery, and you can't get in without crampons.

#Cable car Riding the Mangshan cable car in winter has a unique flavor. As the cable car rises, a winter wonderland covered in silver appears before your eyes. Snow covered the mountains and trees, as if the whole world was wrapped in pure white snow, quiet and peaceful. As the cable car shuttles through the air, you can clearly see snowflakes dancing in the air, like little elves leading the way for us. The mist in the mountains adds a bit of mystery and romance to this snowy area, and the magnificent scenery of Mangshan is also in full view.

[Rose] Chenzhou, a charming place, is waiting for us to explore. Let us embark on a three-day wonderful journey and experience its unique natural scenery and cultural customs. [Rose] On the first day, we will walk into Gaoyiling. This is an amazing natural wonder and the ticket price is 98 yuan. The Danxia landform of Gaoyiling is like a majestic painting, with steep peaks, deep valleys, red rocks and green lake waters setting off each other, a beauty that makes people intoxicated. Next, we came to the Mahuangqiu Grand Canyon, which is open to tourists free of charge. The Grand Canyon is majestic, with towering cliffs and gurgling streams at the bottom of the valley. It seems like a peaceful place specially reserved for us by nature. Afterwards, we went to Wayaoping, which is also a free attraction. Here, the ancient kilns have witnessed the changes of time, making people sigh at the vicissitudes of history. In the evening, we checked into Mangshan Forest Hot Spring Hotel, where we relaxed in a comfortable environment and recharged our batteries for the next day’s trip. [Rose] The next day, we will go to the Mangshan Wuzhi Peak Scenic Area. The ticket price is 390 yuan, including the cable car fee. Climbing up the Five Finger Peak, it feels like being in a fairyland, surrounded by clouds and mist, and the mountain peaks are looming. The strange peaks and rocks, dense forests and clear streams here form a beautiful landscape painting. Looking down from the top of the mountain, the whole world becomes small and peaceful, making people feel the greatness of nature and their own insignificance. After going down the mountain, we came to Yuhou Street, an ancient street full of historical charm. The quaint buildings, bustling shops and traditional snacks make us feel like we have traveled back in time. At night, we checked into Muzixing Inn and fell into a sweet dream in the warm atmosphere. [Rose] On the third day, we arrived at the foggy Xiaodong River. The ticket price is 80 yuan. The morning mist here is dreamy, the river surface is sparkling, and the figures of fishermen casting nets are looming in the mist, forming a picturesque scene. Afterwards, we headed to Longjing Grand Canyon to experience the vitality of nature. The canyon is filled with cascading waterfalls, shady green trees, and fresh air that makes people feel happy. Finally, we came to the Bailang Scenic Area, which is open to the public free of charge. The lake is clear and the scenery is pleasant. It is a great place to relax. After finishing the three-day trip, we took the high-speed rail back to Guangzhou. The convenient transportation allowed us to easily end this unforgettable trip. [Rose] It only takes one and a half hours from Chenzhou to Guangzhou by high-speed rail, which is very convenient. Since the various scenic spots in Chenzhou are relatively scattered, choosing to charter a car will make our trip more comfortable and save a lot of time and energy. Let us pack our bags, set foot on this magical land, and pursue the beautiful scenery and unforgettable memories!

Who knows? View, quiet, convenient transportation, super many parking spaces 🆓

Tired of the hustle and bustle of the city, escape from the steel and concrete on weekends, and look for the poetry and distance in your heart😎 I stayed at the "Yunyinshanju" B&B in Mangshan Grand Canyon, which turned out to be the most beautiful surprise of my trip✔️ The location is excellent and it is super convenient to travel!

You can also have a BBQ at night. It's so cool! Don’t miss the delicious food, the taste of Hunan on your tongue!

The B&B was carefully designed by a well-known designer. Every object and every scene is full of design sense. The whole house has intelligent voice control and smart toilets, and the living experience is very comfortable... The room is also equipped with disposable toilet mats and bath towels, which are clean and hygienic, making people feel at ease. ❤️What surprised me most was that the B&B also gave local specialty small gifts when checking out, which was really heartwarming!
