"Rongcheng Love Stories" adds another romantic chapter. On January 9, five couples exchanged vows of love at Chengdu's highest marriage registration site—the Riyueping Plateau on Xiling Snow Mountain, situated at an altitude of 3,250 meters—taking the snow-capped peaks as their witness and the sea of clouds as their matchmaker.

As the nation's only marriage registration site featuring the unique "snow mountain + sea of clouds" landscape, this location is backed by the 5,364-meter-tall Daxuetang Main Peak, offering the most majestic backdrop for love. The newlyweds not only received custom-designed Chengdu marriage certificates and limited-edition gifts but also strolled hand-in-hand along snow-covered boardwalks, leaving footprints symbolizing "growing old together". They visited the Snow Mountain Post Office to write love-themed postcards, stamped with a special winter-season postmark, addressed to their future selves.

Since its inaugural opening in January 2025, this registration site has represented an innovative integration of marriage services and cultural tourism in Dayi County. It opens annually on dates imbued with romantic significance—such as January 9, May 20, and Qixi Festival—to meet young people's demand for personalized wedding customs.
On the same day, Xiling Snow Mountain officially launched night skiing, introducing Southwest China's first all-day winter recreation model combining "diverse daytime experiences" with "immersive nighttime skiing". The scenic area extended its operating hours until 21:00, alleviating the "time anxiety" often associated with winter travel and enabling urban residents to enjoy short-haul ski getaways immediately after work, thereby stimulating nighttime cultural and tourism consumption.

From romantic vows exchanged high above the clouds to exhilarating day-and-night festivities, from poetic immersion in traditional Chinese aesthetics to the thrilling passion of winter sports—this winter, consider visiting Xiling Snow Mountain for a seasonal rendezvous. Here, at a sacred place sanctified by love and a vibrant hub of diverse joy, you may just encounter your own winter-exclusive moment of beauty.
