Snow Mountain is a nationally
distinguished scenic resort, which lies in Dayi county, Sichuan
province. The resort is 95km away from Chengdu and covers an area
of 482.8 km². Its peak, Daxuetang, 5364 meters high and covered
with snow all year round, is the highest in Chengdu. The
magnificent peaks are white and sparkling, like diamonds, under
the warm sunshine. Dufu, the great poet of the Tang Dynasty, once
wrote:
"Through my window come the
ancient snows on Xiling; and near my door anchor the ships from
distant Wu Kingdom". It is after this oem that Xiling (the
western peak) gets its name.
Xiling is really a magical place. Here
you find primeval forests, sheer precipices and overhanging rocks.
Here you encounter varieties of flowers, rare birds and other
animals. Here you also witness such alpine natural sights as
rapids, waterfalls, sea of clouds, the sun rising, the forest
Buddha Halo and Yinyang Boundary (a dividing line between the the
dead and living, originally a contrast between darkness and
light).
Xiling Mountain is in the cubic
meteorological zone, allowing visitors to come during all seasons.
In spring flowers blossom and alpine azalea woods bloom; in summer
waterfalls show up here and there; in autumn red leaves light you
eyes; and in winter lovely snow attracts visitors from thousands
of mile away. Xiling is really an ideal place for entertainment,
taking holidays, summer touring, and snow amusement in South
China.
Azalea
in Xiling
In spring, once entering the Xiling
Mountain, you are in a colorful land. Miles of azaleas will dazzle
you eye: impossible to take the beauty all in. From March to
August a year, the azaleas come into bloom sequentially
from low altitude to high in Mountains. They gather in clusters;
some are flaming red and others snow white. Particularly, a type
of azalea possesses incomparable beauty. Many color are in one
bunch. Bigger trees even reach 10 meters high and over 100
centimeters in perimeter. Twisted branches spiral upward. Some are
crossed, some leaning against each other and some crept by canes.
No one knows how long they have spent here.
