Winter fairy tale
Sichuan “Hokkaido”—Wawu Mountain
There are no sunny days in summer
Winter snow in the forest
“Where Winter Begins”
This winter is the first winter I have experienced with snow. For a southerner, enjoying snow is a very longing thing, and I also made some choices when choosing a place to enjoy snow. I have pre-selected a few: Fairy Mountain (Chongqing), Dagu Glacier, Bipenggou, Wawu Mountain, Gongga, and Mount Emei. After various considerations, Wawu Mountain is the most suitable place to go. It has a short driving distance, is relatively niche, has a low altitude, and has a good experience.
Wawu Mountain is located in Hongya County, Meishan City, Sichuan Province. It takes 3 hours to drive directly from Chengdu to the entrance of the scenic spot. This year, while everyone is promoting ancient glaciers, Wawu Mountain, known as "Sichuan Hokkaido", has also become popular and has become an internet celebrity check-in attraction. In fact, as early as the Tang and Song Dynasties, Wawu Mountain and Emei Mountain were known as the "two wonders in Sichuan". So why has Wawu Mountain only recently attracted people's attention? Faced with this problem, I personally think it can be analyzed from two aspects. First, Wawu Mountain was closed from 2012 to 2018. The superficial reason for the closure is to carry out basic construction and partial reconstruction of the scenic spot. The underlying reason is that Wawu Mountain has abnormal geology and complex terrain, and compasses often malfunction and clocks stop. , entering is surrounded by dangers, and people are dazzled, just like entering a maze and Bagua enchantment array. It can be called "Bermuda on land". So far, the attraction "Ecstasy Taipa" has been closed. Second, the opening of scenic spots has been relatively short. This year due to the epidemic, many tourists prefer to travel in Sichuan for safety reasons. However, the scenic spots that were popular before can no longer meet the needs of tourists. In addition, new media With the promotion of bloggers, it would be difficult if Wawushan is not popular!

“Where Winter Begins”
It’s not surprising that Wawu Mountain is on fire, and all the scenic spots are extremely beautiful.
Recommended attractions:
Jinhua Bridge: After getting off the first ropeway, there is a small open space next to the house that is perfect for taking pictures. Don’t continue walking after going up the stairs. Go left and there is a road covered with snow. It is too much like walking on the streets of Hokkaido. ! !
Yuanyang Lake: After getting off the second section of the ropeway, many people walk straight ahead. After getting off the ropeway, turn right and you can walk or take a sightseeing bus to Ivory Villa, passing Yuanyang Lake in the middle. (When I went to 5555, I didn’t see the sightseeing bus and just walked along. There were very few people and the scenery was beautiful)
Lanxi Waterfall: It’s so far away, you must take a sightseeing bus to the ski resort and then walk there! ! Although it takes a lot of time and energy to go, when you see the Baikal-colored icicles.
Guangxiang Temple: The light viewing platform of Guangxiang Temple is another excellent place to watch the sunrise, sea of clouds and Buddha's light. He Shaoji, a famous poet in the Qing Dynasty, wrote a poem: "In a moment, white mist rises, like a continuous wave. It dissolves into a sky of clouds and hides thousands of mountains."
