I'm drawn to the beautiful scenery.

Mount Siguniang, located in Xiaojin County, Aba Tibetan and Qiang Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan Province, is the highest peak of the Qionglai Mountains on the eastern edge of the Hengduan Mountains. It consists of four continuous snow-capped mountains (Da Feng, Er Feng, San Feng, and Yaomei Feng) and is known as the "Eastern Alps." This area combines snow-capped mountains, meadows, forests, and lakes, making it a paradise for hikers, climbers, and photographers. ⏳ Best Time to Visit 🌈 Best Seasons: June-August (Summer): Alpine meadows are in full bloom, the climate is cool, suitable for escaping the summer heat. September-October (Autumn): Colorful forests and snow-capped mountains create a stunning contrast, ideal for photography. November-April (Winter): Magnificent snow scenery, suitable for skiing and ice climbing, but some scenic areas may be closed. 🌈 Not Recommended: Landslides may occur during the rainy season (July-August). High-altitude areas are cold in winter, and some roads may be closed. 🚗 How to Get to Mount Siguniang ◆ From Chengdu ✨ Self-driving (Recommended): Chengdu → Dujiangyan → Yingxiu → Wolong → Balang Mountain → Siguniangshan Town (approx. 200 km, 4-5 hrs). ✨ Road Conditions: Paved roads throughout, but altitude sickness may occur at the Balang Mountain Tunnel (3800m). Snow chains are required in winter. ✨ Bus: Chengdu Chadianzi Bus Station → Xiaojin County (via Siguniangshan Town), multiple departures daily, approx. 5-6 hrs. ✨ Chartered Car/Carpooling: Carpooling from Chengdu to Siguniangshan Town (RMB 150-200 per person), suitable for travelers who prefer not to drive. ◆ Transportation within the Scenic Area Sightseeing bus: Shuangqiao Valley (sightseeing bus throughout), Changping Valley (horse riding available in some sections), Haizi Valley (hiking or horse riding). 🏨 Accommodation Recommendations ● Siguniangshan Town (Convenient): ● Budget: A Li Ben Hostel, Snow Region Boutique Hotel. ● Mid-range to High-end: Empty Mountain Homestay (mountain view), Cloud Mountain Language. Changping Village/Shuangqiao Valley (Near Scenic Area): ● Recommended: Jiarong Glamour Hotel, Holy Land Impression Hotel. ● Camping: Muluozi in Changping Valley, Dahaizi in Haizi Valley (guide required). ✅ Must-Try Activities 👉 Climbing Da Feng/Er Feng (Entry-level snow mountains): Da Feng (5025m) is suitable for beginners, Er Feng (5276m) is slightly more challenging, requires 2 days and 1 night, a guide is essential. 👉 Horseback Riding: Changping Valley → Bipeng Valley (classic hiking route, requires 3-4 days). 👉 Stargazing Photography: Many clear nights in autumn and winter, the Milky Way is clearly visible. 👉 Tibetan Cuisine: Yak hot pot, butter tea, barley cakes. 📝 Important Notes ① Altitude Sickness: Siguniangshan Town is at an altitude of approx. 3200m. Avoid strenuous exercise, bring oxygen tanks and Rhodiola. ② Changeable Weather: Experience four seasons in one day, bring a jacket, sunscreen, and sunglasses. ③ Environmental Protection: Do not litter. Entry permits are required for some areas (e.g., mountaineering). ④ Safety: Hiking is recommended in groups. Mountaineering requires a certified guide (approx. RMB 1000-2000 per person). 🗓 Recommended Itineraries 3 Days and 2 Nights Classic Tour: Day 1: Chengdu → Siguniangshan Town → Shuangqiao Valley (afternoon sightseeing). Day 2: Hiking in Changping Valley (to Muluozi or Kushutan). Day 3: Light hiking in Haizi Valley (Guozhuangping viewpoint) → Return. 5 Days and 4 Nights In-depth Tour: Add climbing Da Feng/Er Feng or hiking from Changping to Bipeng. Mount Siguniang is suitable for travelers with different needs, whether it's leisurely sightseeing or hardcore outdoor activities, you can find enjoyment here. If you plan to climb the mountains, it is recommended to contact local clubs (such as Sichuan-Tibet Team, Walking on the Clouds) in advance to arrange a guide. Other questions?
