Checked in at Mount Taibai
Mount Taibai, far from the hustle and bustle, is a sanctuary for the soul. Here, the mountains and waters depend on each other, clouds and mist linger, ancient trees reach for the sky, and greenery abounds. Walking among the mountains of Taibai, one can fully appreciate the beauty of nature and feel the mystery and grandeur of the natural world.

Help! Has everyone in Xi'an gone here to see the snow? Where to go on the weekend?
1 When it comes to places around Xi'an to see snow, Mount Taibai must definitely be on the list! ❄️
2 The guide has been organized, but I never had the chance to go. There's always something holding me back, the kind that I can't refuse, which is so regrettable. I really want to see the beauty of the earth dressed in silver!
3 But! Since the guide has been organized, it can't be wasted. I'll set a small flag: I must go to Changbai Mountain to see the snow at least once!
📸 I'll share my guide with everyone, and those who have been there, leave a photo in your Moments!
4 I'm someone who really likes to make plans. From the moment I saw the first snow on Mount Taibai, I've been imagining setting off! So my guide is made very early and is a bit different from other bloggers, more suitable for my own use. Those who find it applicable, feel free to take it~
5 There are roughly three ways to travel: self-driving, public transportation, and joining a tour. I've considered all three methods, but no matter which one, you can't miss the guide for inside the scenic area! So this article is divided into four parts to summarize the guide, it's a bit long, everyone can take what they need according to their requirements~
1⃣️ Scenic Area Information:
👉🏻 Opening hours are 8:00-18:00 (last entry at 14:00)
Tickets are 50 yuan per adult, scenic shuttle bus is 40 yuan per person (the shuttle bus is a must)
Due to ice sealing the roads, only the 'Peach Blossom Land' attraction is currently open, and you can also see the Lotus Peak Waterfall and Ink Splash Mountain!
The round-trip cable car is 230 yuan per person, a bit expensive, let me think about it again.
👉🏻 Ps: Be sure to bring food and drink, I heard a bottle of water costs 20 yuan in the scenic area!
Definitely bring warm clothes, sub-zero temperatures, one for taking photos and one for keeping warm!
2⃣️ Self-driving:
👉🏻 It takes 1.5-2 hours to drive from the center of Xi'an
👉🏻 Parking fee should not exceed 20 (hopefully), toll and fuel costs roughly calculated at 150
👉🏻 Depart at 8 am--return at 5 pm is best!
👉🏻 Total cost about: 260+
(After coming down the mountain, do I really have the energy to drive for 2 hours? Doubtful, but very convenient)
1 Public Transportation:
👉🏻 A round-trip taxi will cost four to five hundred?! Exclude that
👉🏻 Coach bus round-trip is 90 yuan, high-speed train round-trip is about 75 yuan
👉🏻 Single trip by coach takes 2 hours, need to leave at 7 am
👉🏻 High-speed train takes about 1.2 hours, leave at 8 am
(It takes a long time, is it convenient to take the bus on the return trip? But it's cheap)
Total cost about: 200+
2 Joining a Tour:
👉🏻 Between 230-260 (two options available)
👉🏻 Includes transportation, guide fee, and ticket fee
👉🏻 The route is the same as self-driving (but you can only sign up on Wednesday, Saturday, and Sunday)
👉🏻 Depart at 8.00 - arrive at the scenic area at 9.50 - gather for the return trip at 17.00 - get home around 19.30
(It seems very cost-effective, but waiting for others when joining a tour)
3⃣️ A very detailed guide, take it if you need it~
👉🏻 Check the weather forecast before going, if the weather is bad, confirm in advance whether it's open~

|Don't miss it or you'll have to wait another year, it's time to enjoy the snow scenery in Taibai Mountain!.
❤❤️❤️️At the tail of winter, I had a chance to visit Taibai Mountain⛰️! I drove to the entrance of the scenic area, then hiked all the way to the Lotus Peak waterfall. I didn't expect the world along the road to be so fascinating with its silver-clad scenery❄️❄️❄️!
💓💓💓Taibai Mountain⛰️ is closed every year, roughly from November to April of the following year. At this time, the top of the mountain is unreachable, but the hike to the Lotus Peak waterfall is still very good. We also entered for free in February. The scenic area management kindly reminded us❤️ not to go too deep, so we just walked along the main road of the scenic area🚶, the snow on both sides❄️ has melted a lot, but there are still some remnants, especially in some places where the sun☀️ can't reach, it's still breathtakingly beautiful💓! It's a pleasure to relax here💗, whether you're walking🚶♀️, taking photos📷, or basking in the sun🌞 and daydreaming!

If your belief is strong enough! Then you must go to climb Mount Taibai!!!
It's no wonder it's the ceiling of Shaanxi hiking, I'm really moved to tears by nature
In just half a day, I experienced sea of clouds, sunny day, heavy rain, thunder, lying in the tent listening to the thunder and shivering from the cold
The moment I stood on the Baixian Platform, I felt it was all worth it

I set off around 4:30 in the morning to drive to Baoji, and I could catch the first park sightseeing car after breakfast3 Tour route:
If you want to save time to reach the summit like me, you can take a direct bus to the starting point of the large cable car, about an hour's drive, then take the cable car to Tianyuan Place, register information at Xiaowen Gong Temple, and you can't enter the mountain after 4 o'clock Tianyuan Place Xiaowen Gong Temple about 30min Xiaowen Gong Temple Dawen Gong Temple about 2-3h Dawen Gong Temple Dayehai about 2h Dayehai Baixian Platform about 1h Accommodation:
Dayehai has accommodation, shops, wifi, I heard the boss say that the accommodation is 150r/person, instant noodles 25-35r/box, the tent site fee at Dayehai camp is 30r, it is best to bring cash, there is no signal on the mountain Camping:
We pitched our tent in the depression below the Baixian Platform, which can avoid the wind and it is convenient to watch the sunset. The second and third seas are next door to watch the sunrise and sunset:
You can start waiting for the sunset around 19:00 in the afternoon, and the sunrise is about 5:30-6:00
6 Prepare necessary items in advance:
ID card, gloves, raincoat (also sold at Xiaowen Gong Temple, 30r) If you have high anti-drugs, you can also bring them, flashlight/headlight, thermos cup, water (there is no water for sale along the way, and the water on the top of the mountain is also more expensive), down jacket, thick leggings, hiking shoes, hat, hiking stick, snacks, toilet paper, power bank Due to the high altitude, you may have high altitude sickness near Dayehai, be prepared, I was not feeling well on the day I climbed the mountain, and I vomited near Dawen Gong Temple
Seeing the misty sea of clouds, the sunset in the west, the strange peaks lined up, standing at an altitude of 3767 looking at the mountains, I came to this world, just to feel these moments

Here is a practical guide to Mount Taibai
❤️Starting from Xi'an, a 1.5-hour drive will quickly get you to all the expectations that turn into exclamations of amazement at the moment of reaching the top of the mountain. The clouds and mist rolling between the mountains like huge waves are truly indescribable!
📓Practical guide:
✅For round-trip hiking, you need to start early. If you arrive after 10 am, you will need to take the cable car for at least one way~
✅In the mountains, it starts to get dark at 5 pm, so you need to manage your time for descending the mountain~
✅The protected area is already closed, and the end of the scenic area is Tianyuan Place
✅Check the weather before you set off. The mountain will be closed on rainy and snowy days, so don't make a wasted trip
🧥Clothing guide:
✅When we reached the top of the mountain, it was noon, but the temperature was still below zero, and the wind on the top of the mountain was huge, so you must wear thick and windproof clothes!
✅There is long-term snow accumulation on the mountain. If you don't take the cable car and hike up and down the mountain, it's best to wear a pair of anti-slip hiking shoes and bring a walking stick. Some sections of the road are a bit slippery, so be careful

You can also see the Taibai Mountain Icefall without watching the snow
📍: Taibai Mountain Icefall
📌: Drive into the scenic area and drive to the ski resort (30 yuan per car)
Take a bus from the tourist center to the ski resort (30 yuan per person)
You can see the icefall after about 20 minutes of walking after getting off the bus👍
⚠️: Drive into the scenic area early, the scenic area opens at 8:30
You can usually drive in from 8:30-10:00
After 10 o'clock in the morning, the parking lot at the ski resort is full and you can't drive in
❗️: The weather is very cold, remember to wear gloves, hats, and earmuffs
There are several places on the icefall road that are super slippery, and many people have fallen
👍: Drove through Baoji and ate a bowl of Gujia hot pot
♨️: There are many people in the hot spring at the foot of the mountain in the evening, and there is no private soup
💣: Bought a bottle of Assam that expired half a year ago in the scenic area🥶
Be handsome and act quickly to feel the purity of the icefall
