Unleash Your Inner Child on a Snowy Mountain this Spring!

Calling all snow mountain enthusiasts and spring escape artists! Today, I'm recommending a magical place where you can experience the thrill of rolling in the snow and the joy of basking in the spring sunshine all at once—Meng Huo Cheng in Shimian County, Sichuan. At an altitude of 2,600 meters, with an average annual temperature of 17°C, Meng Huo Cheng offers not only snow-capped mountains and verdant meadows in spring but also the occasional spectacle of "the sun wearing a straw hat," a true testament to nature's whimsical side. Although spring has arrived, the high-altitude Meng Huo Cheng still retains the "chill" of winter. The roofs of the Yi villages nestled in the mountains are piled with remnants of snow, the yellow walls and green tiles set against the white snow resembling an overturned palette. Footprints and tire tracks crisscross the snow, as if Picasso himself had paid a visit. The snowy scenery near the Tuowu Mountain double-helix tunnel is even more magical. The winding mountain road resembles a snow-covered snake, and it's recommended to play the "Initial D" soundtrack while driving through, pretending to be Takumi Fujiwara (but don't actually drift, as the roads are slippery). Spring in Meng Huo Cheng is a "rustic love story" between snow-capped mountains and wildflowers, a "sci-fi blockbuster" featuring sun halos and meadows. Here, you can roll around in the snow while mocking the short-sleeved mortals down below: "Ha! You're experiencing a fake spring!"
