Hot destionations recommended to go in winter
The cold winter cannot prevent the footsteps of people who deeply love the traveling. In china, there are many places for you to choose. We suggest some good places in China for these people who like a winter travel. Travelers are suggested to go to Harbin, Emei Mountain, Tianchi Lake and Jiuzhai Valley rather than taking Beijing Tours or Shanghai Tours.
01. Jiuzhai Valley, Sichuan
Jiuzhai Valley, situated on the northwestern Sichuan Plateau, is in Aba Tibetan and Qiang Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan Province. Renowned as a nature’s magical fairyland, the valley enchants tourists with mountains, forests, lakes, waterfalls and teeming wildlife. Lakes around the valley vary in color according to their depths and angles, striking a lively contrast with the blue sky and snow-wrapped peaks. When winter comes, the mountains and trees are covered with snow. The colorful water contrasts against snow-white surroundings, making the area looks even more amazing.
02. Emei Mountain, Sichuan
Emei Mountain, standing in Emeishan City in the southwest part of Chengdu, Sichuan Province, is renowned for its sacred Buddhist culture and amazing natural beauty. Different from other snowy mountains, Mount Emei has two distinct sceneries in the winter. Around foothills, flourishing leaves and gurgling creeks make it as green and beautiful as in the summer. While above the altitude of 2,000 meters, it is a world of snow and ice. The whole mountain is covered with white carpet, and the trees are decorated in rime. The area is in fine weather In February, making Mount Emei an ideal place to enjoy a quiet end of the winter.
03. Hailuogou glacier, Sichuan
Hailuogou Glacier Park, located in Luding County, is on the eastern side of Gongga Mountain, the king of mountains in Sichuan. The reason for Hailuogou’s worldwide fame lies in its spectacular contemporary glaciers at low altitude. Hailuogou credited by several “mosts”, such as the most spectacular mountain glacier among regions of the same latitude, the most magnificent ice fall in China and the most intact ecological vegetation landscape in West Sichuan.
Hailuogou takes on its most charming look in winter. The tourists flow volume reaches its highest between November to the following April every year. Abundant snow and quite a few sunny days allow tourists to see the most complete glacier and snow peaks in Hailuogou. When the temperature rise in summer, part of the glacier would melt. And when the rainy season comes, there would be a risk of landslide and mud-rock flow on the mountain road. In addition, it is also a nice option to visit Hailuogou in autumn. It is warmer in autumn than in winter and the snow mountains which melted in summer would reappear when the temperature goes up. At this time of the year, the primitive forest in Hailuogou are tinted all over and red leaves covering the whole place, forming a colorful landscape. Since the temperature in Hailuogou is much lower than in Chengdu all the year round, it is advised that tourists take warm clothes with you, in particular for those who want to pay a visit to campsites at high altitude. For those who love hiking, alpenstock and skid proof shoes are necessary.
