A super detailed travel guide to Huapiling Snow Town!

Did you know? There is a beautiful snow town near Beijing, with scenery comparable to Hemu in Xinjiang. It only takes 2.5 hours to get there from Beijing! Take the Capital Ring Expressway out of Beijing, and once you exit the Huapiling Tunnel, you'll enter the dreamlike world of Huapiling Snow Town in Zhangjiakou. 1. Scenic Spots The white village here is simply stunning, especially the colorful houses in the snowfield, which are the essence of Huapiling's scenery! There are two great places with colorful houses: one is the colorful wooden cabins on the mountain, like fairy tale forest cabins; the other is the brick houses at the foot of the mountain, each with its own charm. If you want to explore the colorful houses and camping spots on your own, you can, and it's a lot of fun. If you really can't find them, you can DM me, and I'll secretly tell my fans the exact coordinates. 😘 2. Photography Tips 📷 Want to take great photos? Listen to me! In terms of equipment, be sure to bring a drone. The aerial view of the entire snow town is amazing. As for cameras, a wide-angle lens is essential to capture the vast snow scenery and colorful houses. 3. Clothing Guide 🧥 If you're driving, a down jacket is usually enough. But if you plan to camp in the snow, you'll need to prepare well. The temperature difference between morning and evening in Huapiling is huge, and it can drop to minus 20 or 30 degrees at night! Wear a jacket and pants, fleece, and a down jacket, and don't forget a hat, gloves, thick socks, and outdoor shoes. Also, some sections of Huapiling have very deep snow, so if you're hiking, be sure to bring snow gaiters, or you'll be uncomfortable with snow in your shoes. The slopes are generally slippery, so ice cleats are also necessary for safety. 4. Vehicle Choice 🚗 The roads here are a bit picky about cars. It's recommended to drive an off-road vehicle or SUV. If your car has AT tires, you can drive; if it has road tires, be cautious and install snow chains, or you'll easily slip. Huapiling Snow Town is amazing, whether you want to enjoy the scenery, take photos, or experience snow camping. Start planning your ice and snow trip now! ❄️💖
