The snow scene that will make you drool is here! Fewer people, beautiful scenery, and free!
Enjoy the stunning snow scene and have fun at Longchi National Forest Park
Silly Niu Niu and I set off from Chengdu at 10 am. The road was smooth, and we arrived at the foot of Longchi National Forest Park in about an hour and a half. We parked the car next to the ranger's duty booth, and the parking fee was only CNY10 per day, which was a great deal.
After parking the car, we went straight to the nearby farmhouse for hot pot. The hot pot was delicious, spicy and numbing, and the ingredients were very fresh. The two of us were full after spending CNY120. The owner was very nice and gave us a pot of hot tea. Snowflakes were falling outside, and it was warm inside. Eating hot pot and drinking tea was so comfortable.
After lunch, we started climbing the mountain, and the snow scene along the way was beautiful. The scenery on the mountain was like a fairyland. The rhododendron forest was covered in silver, and the branches were covered with ice crystals, which shone brightly in the sunlight. It took about two hours to climb from the foot of the mountain to the parking lot halfway up the mountain, and about an hour and a half from the parking lot to Longchi. We walked and played along the way, and it took us more than three hours to reach the top of the mountain. But be sure to pay attention to the time. It gets dark in the mountains around 6:30 pm, so you need to leave enough time to go down the mountain. It takes about two hours to go down the mountain and return to the parking lot.
This place has fewer people, beautiful scenery, and is free! You can search for Longchi National Forest Park on Amap and follow the navigation to the end.
When playing, be sure to bring trekking poles and choose non-slip shoes, as ordinary shoes are easy to slip on the snow. It is best to bring a pair of clean socks and insoles so that you can change them in time if your shoes get wet. There is no network signal in the mountains, so you need to prepare cash. There is only one snack shop on the mountain, and there are not many things, so it is best to bring some food and drinks, such as chocolate and beef jerky, which are convenient for replenishing energy. Also, car snow chains are basically not needed unless you want to drive to the top of the mountain. There are usually staff on duty before 3 pm, and cars cannot enter.
