I thought Baizhang Ridge was beautiful enough, until I went to Zhejiang West Tianchi
Ah, this must be a fairy tale world
If you say this is Changbai Mountain, I would believe it too❗️❗️❗️
At the moment of seeing the snow scene of Tianchi, everyone was like 'wow~'
At the beginning of the year, I went to Baizhang Ridge when it snowed. The blue sky, white snow, and rime were so beautiful. This time when it snowed, I decisively chose to climb the snow mountain. I originally wanted to go to Longwang Mountain, but there were too many people, so I chose Zhejiang West Tianchi. The fact proves that it is very worth going❗️
.
⚠️Tianchi is very large, you can take pictures all around, even if there are many people, it is easy to get good shots, don't worry about not having a shooting position.
⚠️If you drive by yourself, you can navigate to Zhejiang West Tianchi, and you can see Tianchi after a few minutes of walking, but there are many mountain roads, the road conditions are not good in rainy and snowy days, the road surface is slippery, please drive carefully!
⚠️You can also navigate to Wuyue Ancient Trail by car, and walk up the trail for about 4 kilometers, which takes about 2.5 hours.
⚠️Or choose to join a group, usually the whole journey is about 12 kilometers on foot, it takes 5~6 hours, the difficulty is not big, children can also try!
⚠️Hiking suggestions: wear anti-slip hiking shoes, bring ice claws, gloves, hats, trekking poles, hot water, food, power bank, knee pads, etc.
⚠️Clothing suggestions: quick-drying warm clothes + fleece/warm clothes + storm jacket
⚠️Pet friendly, there are no toilets during the hiking process, take the garbage down the mountain by yourself!

Mount Changbai is too far away, this one in Zhejiang can really be rushed
Zhexi Tianchi, those who like to see snow and beautiful rime can rush
⚠️Check the weather one day before departure, as long as the highest temperature is below 5 degrees, you should be able to see it this week. The most perfect weather is definitely low temperature and sunny day!
🚗Transportation
Self-driving from Hangzhou to the entrance of Zhexi Tianchi is about 2h
If it's not a four-wheel drive, you may not be able to drive to the main entrance (depending on the weather and road conditions, there may be changes, sometimes it may be closed) If you have anti-skid chains, you can drive up as early as possible, the later the more cars on the mountain road
🧗Equipment
!Climbing stick + ice claw is a must
The snow on the mountain is really slippery. If you just walk around Tianchi and don't climb the mountain, you don't need it! The clothes are best outdoor waterproof, if not, you must wear enough and keep warm, the wind on the top of the mountain is very big and cold, the shoes wear outdoor shoes, the second is some anti-skid sports shoes
🍔Food
It is recommended to bring dry food + thermos cup hot water. There are instant noodles and water for sale at the entrance of Tianchi
⚠️No toilets all the way
Be sure to solve it before going up the mountain
I hope everyone can see the rime smoothly this week!🤗

Did you know you can see rime in Hangzhou? Lin'an Zhexi Tianchi Hiking Guide
It's rare to see snow in the Jiangsu-Zhejiang-Shanghai area, but Zhexi Tianchi is a beautiful sight after it snows. You can even see the rare rime, making it a great place for hiking.✈️
The weather is special when you see rime, and you'll be hiking on snowy mountains, so make sure you're well prepared before you set off!
1️⃣ Non-slip hiking boots + crampons: The snow on the mountain is very slippery, so make sure you have non-slip gear, or you'll fall!
2️⃣ Trekking poles: These are a great help, and you'll need them if you can't find a branch.
3️⃣ Warm clothes: In addition to a windbreaker, we recommend bringing a light down jacket. Staying warm is important.
4️⃣ Thermos: It's cold when hiking in winter, so bring a thermos with warm water to keep you warm.
🗺️ Hiking route:
Navigate to "Hebian Xiaoyuan" and follow Bailong Line up. Hike along the Wuyue Ancient Road.
📍 Location: Zhexi Tianchi, Lin'an, Hangzhou

It's not that I can't afford to visit Changbai Mountain, but the Tianchi in West Zhejiang offers better value for money!
Photo taken on 12.24, be sure to check the weather before you go~😉
👉Route to the mountain:
Plan A🚗: If you want to drive to the top of the mountain, search for the West Zhejiang Tianchi parking lot, but you should go early, around six in the morning to drive up, and by seven there will be control personnel who won't allow you to go further. Those who arrive late can wait nearby, and there will be villagers who can take you up the mountain for 50 yuan, but there are not many.
Plan B🚶: Drive to the Wuyue Ancient Trail parking lot🅿️, where villagers at the entrance will offer to take you to the Wuyue Ancient Trail for 20 yuan, remember to keep their phone number, and ask if they can pick you up when you descend, then hike up the mountain for 2 hours, and walking down the road will take even longer.
🙌Mountain climbing tips:
🥶It's not cold on the way, but it's colder at the top, so wear a thick coat.
🦶Be sure to bring trekking poles, gloves, ear covers, and a hat, as the wind is strong at the summit.
🎿Ice grips are very important, wearing snow boots without ice grips will be very slippery, and this is even more true when hiking down the mountain.
🥖Bring some dry food, as there are vendors selling Oden on the mountain.
😍It's really beautiful! Every casual shot is a masterpiece, and standing next to the rime ice trees adds even more atmosphere!👏

I thought Baizhang Ridge was beautiful enough, until I went to Tianchi in western Zhejiang
Casual photos taken while hiking
It's not that Harbin is too expensive, but Zhejiang offers better value for money
The snow and ice world of the southerners has arrived!
📍Hangzhou·Tianchi in western Zhejiang
Just came back from the snowy mountains, played for a day and a night, and was amazed by this real frozen world‼️ It's like walking into a dreamy fairy tale world~
Set off at midnight, returned in the evening the next day, the ice hadn't melted yet, 🉑 charge!
_
✅ Hiking route:
🟠【Going up】: Taohuaxi Village in the Great Canyon of western Zhejiang→Tangling→Fotang→Qianqing Pass→Tianchi
The route is mostly steep uphill, about 4-5 hours of hiking to reach Tianchi in western Zhejiang! The whole journey is about 12 kilometers, with an elevation gain of 800~
🟠【Going down】: Tianlong Grand Canyon→Wuyue Ancient Trail
Retreat from 'Tianlong Grand Canyon' (there is a stele of 'The First Pool in the South of the Yangtze River' at the location of the dam), follow the stream downhill passing N stone bridges, about 2 hours to reach the archway of 'Wuyue Ancient Trail'~
✅ Self-driving route:
🟠 It is recommended to equip your car with anti-skid chains‼️ Navigate to 【Tianchi in western Zhejiang】! There is a parking lot at the top of the mountain~
🟠 Direct to the top of the mountain! If the weather is clear and the road is smooth, you can go directly to the top of the mountain~
🟠 Road closure situation! Heavy snow, fog, and icy roads will be blocked at the entrance of the village, you can take the village's car (costly) or hike up the mountain (time-consuming and far)
✅ Essentials for playing:
🔵 Equipment: Warm jacket, gloves🧤hat, quick-dry clothes, hiking shoes, trekking poles, knee pads, ice grips, power bank, own food and water, etc.
🔵 Anti-slip ice grips‼️ The snow in the mountains freezes quickly and becomes quite hard, even flat surfaces can be very slippery, ice grips make it much easier to walk~
🔵 At the entrance of Tianchi: 💰grilled sausages, 💰instant noodles, 💰hot water and other supplies, but no toilet (under repair)‼️

Don't leave your youth in regret, a hike on the ancient Wu-Yue trail to the Zhejiang West Tianchi
I decided to go to Zhejiang West Tianchi while eating hot pot at night, afraid of my own hesitation, I set off from Shanghai at four thirty in the morning. The hiking route of the ancient Wu-Yue trail starts from Xuancheng, Anhui to Lin'an, Hangzhou, Zhejiang West Tianchi. After the snow, many roads on the ancient trail are icy and very slippery. When I was walking on the single-plank bridge, one foot slipped into the stream. Fortunately, I brought spare socks. As I walked, my ice claws also fell off, and I fell three times along the way. Because I had to rush down the mountain before dark, I didn't stop much on the way. The scenery in the mountains is like a fairy tale world❄️ The few hours of descending the mountain are more difficult, because in addition to the ice, there is also mud, and the road is very difficult to walk, but I still persisted with my fellow travelers. I arrived home at nine forty in the evening, which is also a special forces journey. Life is about breaking through oneself time and time again!
I have summarized some questions that everyone is more concerned about:
1: If you hike up the mountain, it is recommended to wear a three-in-one fleece. The process of climbing the mountain is really hot. I didn't use the warm baby and warm hand treasure I brought, but the Tianchi here is colder, so the three-in-one is the most suitable. It is recommended to bring a pair of gloves so that your hands will not easily freeze when taking pictures here in Tianchi.
2: The key point is that ice claws and trekking poles must be brought, and the ice claws should be bought with both front and back, which is more firm. I bought only the front foot for beauty, and it fell off after not walking for a long time. The road surface is very slippery after the snow, especially when going down the mountain. If you don't have ice claws, you will definitely fall!
3: Because the snow melted quickly on sunny days these days, the ground is all mud, so you must wear high-top hiking shoes or waterproof shoes, otherwise it is easy to splash mud into the shoes. I saw a little brother by the lake, one foot sank into the mud, and after pulling it out, the shoes were filled with mud. I also washed my shoes in the stream for a long time that day. In short, if you don't wear high-top shoes, it will make you quite uncomfortable.
4: Be sure to bring a pair of spare socks in case you get your feet wet like me and can change them.
5: There is no grocery store on the mountain. It is recommended to bring two bottles of water and some snacks and dry food. Bring your own garbage bags and refuse to add burden to the scenic environment.
6: For novice Xiaobai, this route is quite tiring. Try not to drive by yourself after hiking, take a day off.

The first snow of 2024 is coming to Zhejiang West Tianchi, it's incredibly beautiful!
Generally, the temperature in the city is low, and it's raining at the foot of the mountain🌧
Zhejiang West Tianchi might have rime and snow scenery❄️
It is expected that Zhejiang West Tianchi will welcome the snow scenery again next week
It is suggested to take the Wuyue Ancient Road, which is dressed in silver when it snows, just like a fairy tale world
The snow scenery here really looks like Changbai Mountain❄️
❗️However, most of the Wuyue Ancient Road is now closed and not allowed to go up!
❗️You can only walk a part of it, follow the road to Tianchi, circle around Tianchi, those few peaks can't be climbed anymore. Finally, go down the mountain along the same road!
❗️Pay attention to real-time weather news, there is a possibility of road closure!

It's not that Changbai Mountain is unaffordable, but that the Zhejiang West Tianchi is more cost-effective for its snow-limited edition
It's not that Changbai Mountain is unaffordable, but that the Zhejiang West Tianchi is more cost-effective
The snow-limited edition of Zhejiang West Tianchi, with large rime Christmas trees, ice hangings, and thick snow everywhere!!
Transportation: Self-driving or group tour. Originally, you could drive directly to the dam of Tianchi, but the road is icy and the car can't go up. It's very congested on weekends, so set off as early as possible. The car can only go as far as it can. Or you can hike the Wuyue Ancient Road. The ancient road can park near the Qingliang Peak Deer Monitoring Station, which is also very congested. Yesterday, even the entrance of the ancient road had to queue up. If there are many people, it's best to prepare for hiking on the road, which will be congested to doubt life.
:How to know if there is snow, you can pay attention to Hangzhou Meteorology, if it snows, it will usually be forecasted in advance.
1The crossing line to Lele Peak is about 12 kilometers, with a total ascent of about 750 meters, and the highest altitude is about 1350 meters;
2The crossing line does not climb Lele Peak is about 9.5 kilometers, with a total ascent of about 550 meters, and the highest altitude is about 1200 meters.
wc: The starting point needs to borrow the bathroom from the farmhouse by yourself, and there is a bathroom at the end; there is no bathroom on the way to hike (as long as you don't drink water desperately, you won't want to go to the bathroom as you sweat during hiking)
Hiking time: about 3 kilometers of bluestone steps, the rest are mostly in the mountains
Equipment suggestions:
1. Ice claws!!!!! Very slippery must-have!! Must be the kind with iron chains, otherwise others are not firm (you can search for outdoor ice claws), if you don't bring it, you can only descend by butt.
2. Close-fitting layer (wool or quick-drying underwear, no cotton clothes, not warm after wet)
3. Warm layer (fleece jacket/artificial cotton jacket/thin down jacket)
4. Protective layer (storm jacket/pants/soft shell jacket/pants)
5. Waterproof and anti-skid hiking shoes + thick wool socks + snow cover
6. Warm hat + warm gloves + scarf/scarf (Ranger will send a scarf)
It is recommended to prepare a coat, wear it when you rest, afraid of strong wind and cold. The pants are best waterproof.
7. Trekking poles (! Also a must-have) + knee pads + power bank + headlamp/
flashlight (it's best to have one, if not, you must hurry down the mountain before it gets dark around 5 o'clock ! The temperature on the mountain at night is not a joke!)
8. Thermos cup/hot water + bring your own road meal (no supply in the middle) + small snacks and fruits, etc.

A stunning moment! The clouds over the West Zhejiang Sky Pool disperse and the sun comes out, it's a great shot!
West Zhejiang Sky Pool, it's really beautiful! Although the weather was not very cooperative, without anti-skid chains, snow, or sun, I still rushed to this beautiful paradise without hesitation.
⛰️Due to the large number of people, we were forced to park halfway up the mountain. Right at the starting point of the Wuyue Ancient Trail, we began our hiking journey. Along the way, I felt the charm and mystery of nature.
☁️When we reached the Sky Pool, the clouds dispersed and the sun came out. At that moment, I couldn't describe the beautiful scenery in front of me with photos and words. The lake was as green as jade, the mountains undulating like a painting, as if I was in a fairyland. This was definitely a stunning shooting opportunity!
📸I picked up the camera and kept pressing the shutter to record this beautiful moment. Each photo made me feel incredibly satisfied and happy. This was an unforgettable travel experience.
🌤️Before going up the mountain, remember to pay attention to the weather conditions to ensure safety. Also, prepare necessary equipment such as anti-skid chains, trekking poles, anti-skid shoes, and thermos cups. Also, be prepared for dynamic dressing, bring a power bank for taking photos at any time.
🚶♀️Along the way, we kept climbing, feeling the power and beauty of nature. Each step was a challenge, but also an opportunity for growth. Don't be afraid of difficulties, keep moving forward, and you will find everything is so worth it!

It's not that Harbin is unaffordable, but the snow scenery in Hangzhou is also super beautiful!
People in the south seem to have a special affection for snow. When winter comes, there is a kind of inexplicable expectation~ I still remember the heavy snow in Hangzhou at the beginning of last year, the snow scenery is really beautiful, it can be encountered but not sought.
This year, several mountainous areas in Lin'an have already seen snow scenes. And the continuous low temperature in the next week is expected to snow again!
I have sorted out a few good places to enjoy the snow scene near Hangzhou. You don't need to go to the northeast, you can see the beautiful snow scene at your doorstep!
1, Taizi Tip (Lin'an Longgang Town)
There is a long winding mountain road to Taizi Tip, commonly known as Zhejiang West Sky Road. The starting point can start from the foot of Langguang Village Mountain, all the way up, the winding mountain road on both sides is all snow scenery, when you arrive at Taizi Tip Station, you can continue to walk up to the top of Taizi Tip along the small road.
2, Baizhang Ridge (Lin'an Longgang Town)
Baizhang Ridge is also one of the three tips of Zhejiang West, it is a classic route of hiking ancient roads, the whole journey is on the ridge line, the view is open, and the snow scene is also very good. Moderate intensity.
3, Zhejiang West Tianchi (Lin'an Longgang Town)
The altitude of Tianchi is as high as 1100 meters, you can drive the winding mountain road, hiking can choose the entrance of Wuyue Ancient Road, after reaching Tianchi, you can choose to continue to climb Leli Peak around Tianchi. The whole journey is about 12 kilometers, with moderate intensity.
4, Dragon King Mountain (Huzhou Anji)
Dragon King Mountain is Anji, Lin'an, Ningguo two provinces and three counties border mountain, the highest altitude, is also a famous snow viewing place. You can hike from the foot of Lin'an Mountain.
Other snow viewing places in Lin'an: Tianmu Mountain, Daming Mountain, Longmen Secret Realm, Taihu Source.
5, Equipment
Keep warm: wear hats, scarves, earmuffs, waterproof gloves are a must, without gloves, let alone play with snow, take pictures with stiff hands. Wear waterproof jackets and pants, shoes must be waterproof, easy to get wet or wear waterproof snow covers.
Hiking needs to prepare ice claws, trekking poles, power banks, bring good dry food supplies, thermos cups.
6, Transportation
Under normal circumstances, cars can drive to the top of the mountain, but the road is covered with snow and the car tires will slip. You need a car that can drive in the snow, and then install anti-skid chains to drive to the top of the mountain. If it is a small car, choose to park on the side when you reach a suitable position, and then enjoy the snow on foot. You can also play on the side of the winding mountain road.
If the snow is very heavy, the road will be closed, and you need to hike or take a small road up the mountain. If you are not familiar with the route, you must find someone who is familiar with it, or directly report to the outdoor team to walk together, and rush down the mountain before 3 o'clock to avoid the danger of darkness.
The snow scene is very beautiful, but you must pay attention to safety and act within your means!

Zhejiang West Tianchi| It's so romantic here in winter!
| It's so romantic here in winter!.🏔️ Lin'an, Hangzhou, Zhejiang West Tianchi
🎫: Free
It takes three hours to drive from Hangzhou. After arriving there, due to the icy road caused by snow, traffic control is implemented to prohibit vehicles from going up the mountain. Normally, you should be able to drive up.
✅There are two ways to go up the mountain:
1️⃣You can take the local people's car (which is shuttling back and forth) directly to Tianchi, but in this way, you will miss the beautiful scenery along the way. It goes directly along the mountain road.
2️⃣You can also walk up the Wuyue Ancient Trail by yourself. This is what I strongly recommend! 🆘Although it's very tiring, the scenery along the way is really amazing. Until you get to Tianchi, you feel that everything is worth it. It takes more than 3 hours.
❄️
The ancient trail is relatively difficult to climb. It is recommended that you do enough research before you go.
Mountain climbing essentials: trekking poles, anti-skid chains for cars, anti-skid shoe covers, warm babies, hats, gloves, thermos cups, power banks (even if you don't play, the power consumption is very fast)
✅Small tips:
2. Be sure to bring good equipment! Trekking poles and anti-skid shoes are very important!
3. There are no toilets on the mountain, so be sure to go to the toilet before climbing.
4. Tianchi is really beautiful! After climbing four kilometers of mountain road from the ancient trail and then seeing Tianchi, it really feels like a bright spot in front of your eyes, and all efforts are worth it!
If you can't go to Changbai Mountain, it's also very good to go to Zhejiang West Tianchi, to see the snow scene, to see the rime, to be free here, to empty yourself!!!
