Compared with the snow volume in the city, the amount in the Qingling Mountains is quite heavy. So let's take a look at the gorgeous snow-viewing sites in the Qinling Mountains and immerse ourselves in the snowy land.

Bingjing Peak

Bingjing Peak, the highest point of Zhuque National Forest Park, is located at the junction of Binghecui Scenic Area and Taiping National Forest Park. The name "Bingjing (ice crystal) Peak" was given upon the completion of the Zhuque Forest National Park in 2000, for the mountain is often covered with ice crystals.

The meadow of Guangtou Mountain is part of the Qinling Watershed, which is the watershed of the Yellow River and Yangtze River, and is the geographical boundary between the north and the south.
