|This isn't Switzerland! This is Zhegu Mountain in Western Sichuan! Highlights At Zhegu Mountain, you don't need to travel to Switzerland to enjoy the beautiful winter scenery of Western Sichuan. Look up, and you'll see rolling mountains and lush meadows. Look down, and you'll see river valleys and mountains like ink paintings, with romantic snow cabins dotted around, like a dreamlike fairyland. It's also a favorite place for skiing enthusiasts. Cost Details - Scenic Area Ticket: CNY 66 per person, the ticket to this ice and snow world. - Sightseeing Bus Ticket: CNY 60 per person, with discounts for online booking, but you need to pick up the ticket at the ticket office. - Skiing Fee: CNY 288 per person for 2 hours of skiing, or CNY 328 per person for a full day. The package (including admission + skiing) is very cost-effective, with a 2-hour package for CNY 288 per person and a full-day package for CNY 388 per person. Transportation Tips Starting from Chengdu, it's about 260 km away, with flat and smooth roads, making for a great driving experience. It takes about 3.5 hours to reach this ice and snow paradise. Play Route Follow the route of "Parking Lot - Carousel - Ladder - Lovers' Bridge - Snow Park - Ice Waterfall - Cabin - Ski Hall" to start a wonderful journey. The ladder is less crowded in the morning, making it the "golden time" for taking photos. The carousel is dazzling in the snow, capturing beautiful moments. The cabin is full of Western Sichuan characteristics, making it a "treasure" for taking photos. The snow park has many fun ice and snow activities for children to enjoy. The ski resort has five ski trails to choose from, but the ski elevator is a bit slow, so we hope it can be "accelerated" in the future. Itinerary Tips Day 1: Depart from Chengdu to Zhegu Mountain, ski on the slopes, then go to Gurgou to soak in hot springs and relax, and stay overnight. Day 2: Depart from Gurgou to Bipenggou, enjoy the scenery, and return to Chengdu. The two-day itinerary is fulfilling and relaxing. Reasons for Recommendation 1. Pet-friendly scenic area, where you can bring your pets to enjoy the ice and snow time. 2. Compared to popular ski resorts like Taiziling, there are fewer people here, so you can ski freely. 3. It's close to Bipenggou and Gurgou, making it easy to connect a two-day trip without getting tired. 4. The snow cabins are perfect for taking photos, and you can take great pictures in no time. Tips 1. The scenic area is at a high altitude, so take it slow, avoid strenuous exercise, and be careful of altitude sickness. 2. The management of the scenic area needs improvement. Online ticket purchases still require manual ticket collection, and the site is a bit chaotic during peak season, with a shortage of staff. 3. The food in the scenic area is not very good and has limited options, so bring your own food as a supplement, and enjoy a feast in Gurgou after going down the mountain.
