Winter Charm of Mount Siguniang: A First-Timer’s Guide to Shuangqiao Valley

#discoverchina #chengdu Visiting Mount Siguniang in January offered a different kind of magic – while snow was sparse, the crisp air and golden grasslands against jagged peaks created a serene winter palette. 🍎For winter travelling, Shuangqiao Valley is ideal: its shuttle-friendly route (entrance 🎫 80 RMB + shuttle 🚌 70 RMB) makes exploration effortless, perfect for families or those acclimating to altitude. 🍎Start early (entry by 3PM) – the 40-minute shuttle whisks you straight to Hongshan Forest(3,800m), where frost-tipped redwoods frame snowy trails. Don’t miss: 📸 Iconic Stops • Budala Peak:Snap "highway-to-the-alps" photos (watch for shuttles!) • Jugenacuo Lake:A hidden gem – trek 20mins from Budala for mirror-like waters reflecting snow-capped ridges • Sigunacuo Lake:Stroll boardwalks past twisted snags and tranquil mountain vistas • Renyingping Meadow:Spot yaks grazing on sunlit slopes – a postcard-perfect finale
