XILING SNOW-COVERED MOUNTAIN IN CHENGDU

 

 

SICHUAN , CHINA

 

 

 

Covering an area of 482 square kilometer the Xiling Snow-Covered Mountain is located in the Dayi County, Chengdu. Du Fu, a famous poet during the Tang Dynasty, once wrote a poem which contained the sentence 'the window has the ages snow from Xiling'. The Baisha Ridge which has an elevation of 3,200m is the most fascinating spot in the mountain. An unique scene can be seen on one side of the ridge which shows clear and boundless sky while the other side is full of clouds and mists. 

 

Transport: Visitors may get on a tourist bus at the bus station near Chengdu North Railway Station and go directly to the Xiling Snow-Covered Mountain. Another way is for tourists to catch a shuttle bus from the Chengdu North Railway Station or from the Jinsha bus station to Dayi and then change to another bus that goes to the Xiling Snow-Covered Mountain.
