Not Scandinavia, but better than Scandinavia! Huapiling after the snow

Not Scandinavia, but better than Scandinavia! After the snow When the snowflakes cover everything, I found a real-life Nordic fairy tale. This is not the distant Scandinavia, but the eastern starting point of Huapiling in Zhangbei, Hebei — at an altitude of 2128.7 meters, with an average annual snow cover of 150 days, known as a "natural oxygen bar" and the "Jiuzhaigou beyond the Great Wall." After the winter snow, all is silent except for the sound of footsteps lightly treading on the snowfield. Hiking here feels like stepping into a tranquil ink painting, and every snapshot is a stunning snowy scene full of atmosphere. 【Winter Fairy Tale Practical Guide】Huapiling Secret Realm, Encounter an Ice and Snow Romance! 📍 Destination: Huapiling, Chongli, Zhangjiakou, Hebei, a real-life ice and snow fairy tale world! 🚗 Transportation: - From Beijing, about 3.5 hours one way, group tours recommended (worry-free, safe direct access). 🥾 Route Options: 1.
