Climbing season
Spring and autumnThere is a lot of snow and strong wind in spring. The weather is stable in winter, with low temperatures and low winds.Qionglaishan Range is located in the transitional area from the mid-subtropical monsoon climate to the continental plateau climate. Due to the plateau topography, the climate is cold in winter and cool in summer, all year round, and the rainfall is scarce. The annual precipitation is 1100-1600 ml. The precipitation is mainly concentrated in the rainy season (May-August). The natural vertical band spectrum of mountain is very representative. And the temperature changes drastically, the four seasons are not obvious, and the daily temperature difference is large, sometimes reaching more than 20C. The annual evaporation capacity is 1500 mm, the frost-free period is 220 days, the annual average temperature is 12.2°C, and the annual sunshine is 2214 hours.
The surrounding ravines are narrow, the terrain is complex, the drop is very large (the starting point of this mountaineering activity.
