When coming to Tianchi in winter, it is best to bring a thermos cup (both milk tea or hot tea or tea), prepare some snacks with you, wear beautiful (to keep warm), and walk around Tianchi for an hour on foot.


Note: A critical heat source such as warming a baby or a thermos is a must for Tianchi in winter. Because it is near the water, it is freezing when the wind is reliable, but as long as there is a heating source, it is enough to play crazy all day ~



After reaching the edge of Tianchi, there are walking paths to the left and right. It is recommended to go to the left (2km to the right will enter the wooden way with more trees. It is quite cold if there is no sunlight in winter, but there are snow and fallen leaves on the right, which are very enjoyable.


Walking on the left side, you will pass the ordinary wooden path. Magical Needle (actually an unusual elm tree) is by the side of Tianchi Lake.  It takes 2hours to walk to the bottom of the mountain while playing and taking pictures.  


I think the most beautiful scenery is all over here. In early November, the leaves have not fallen, and there is no cloud in the sky blue. You can see snowy mountains along the way, and my heart is clearing.
