Must-Know Safety Tips for Playing in Mangshan Snow‼️ 1️⃣ Avoid major travel risks❌: ➜ Take high-speed rail to "Chenzhou West Station," then a dedicated car to Mangshan (about 2 hours; choose a 4WD in snowy weather!) ➜ If driving yourself, bring snow chains! The mountain road at the west gate is seriously icy; beginners don’t take risks! ➜ The scenic area has cliffside plank roads all the way; take the cable car straight to the summit (the cable car 🚠 piercing clouds and snow is stunning!) . 2️⃣ Essential gear checklist🧤: ▫️Crampons! Crampons! Crampons! (Sold at the foot of the mountain for 35 yuan/pair, or buy online in advance for 15 yuan) ▫️Waterproof, non-slip hiking boots + fleece-lined outdoor jacket (the wind is strong enough to make you question life) ▫️Thermos with ginger tea! Warm packs and phone protection against freezing shutdown! . 3️⃣ Hidden activities㊙️: ➤ Stay at "Mangshan Forest Hot Spring Hotel" ♨️ and soak in the infinity pool amid the snow! ➤ Wait at 5 AM for sunrise at "Jinbian Divine Pillar," where the sea of clouds wraps snowy peaks in golden light🔥 ➤ Monkeys block the path to snatch food! Hide snacks in your bag, don’t carry them by hand! (Don’t ask how I know😭) - 🏔️3.

Red/white contrast with Danxia snow scenery makes amazing photos! . ❷ Misty Xiaodongjiang: Ice and snow fairyland PLUS version ✅Tips to avoid trouble: ➜ No morning mist in winter❌! But fishermen cast nets! ➜ The park opens at 6:30 AM! Don’t trust guides saying to wait at 5 AM for mist (you’ll freeze and question life) ➜ The fishing net show is free🆓! Don’t get scammed by scalpers selling “VIP tickets” roadside! . ❸ Bailang: "Little Erhai Lake" after snow ✅Tips to avoid trouble: ➜ The lakeside road is icy and closed!
