Scenic spot introduction:
The highest peak in Xiling Snow Mountain, Miaoji Ridge, is 5,364 meters above sea level. It is the highest peak in Chengdu. It stands in the sky and is covered with snow all year round. It is beautiful and spectacular. Du Fu, a great poet of the Tang Dynasty, once wrote a poem "The window contains the snow of Qianqiu in the West Ridge, and the door is docked with ships thousands of miles away from the East Wu" to praise this scene, and the mountain got its name from this. The scenic spot combines forests, seas, snowfields, alpine weather, dangerous peaks and rocks, exotic flowers and trees, rare birds and animals, rapids and waterfalls. It is a tourist attraction that can be visited all year round. The unpredictable mountain weather landscapes such as the sea of clouds, sunrise, forest Buddha light, Yin and Yang Realm, and Rizhao Jinshan, as well as water features such as nine waterfalls and a line of sky, colorful waterfalls, and leopard roaring springs, interact with each other to form a unique natural scenery that is very beautiful. The ski resort on the mountain is a paradise for fun in winter.Attractions distribution:
