Mount Siguniang, a breathtakingly beautiful fairyland.
😍I have to say it loud and clear: Mount Siguniang is breathtakingly beautiful! Every scene here is like something out of a fairy tale. Mount Siguniang is even more beautiful after a snowfall, so be sure to get there early. The snow will melt when the sun comes out, and the morning light is soft. The beauty is indescribable, and I can't wait to go back.
🚗【Transportation Tips】
Mount Siguniang is located in Xiaojin County, Aba Prefecture. If you choose to drive, just navigate to Mount Siguniang Town. If you take public transportation, you can take a bus from the Chadianzi Bus Station in Chengdu.
🏞️【Attraction Tips】
1️⃣ Redwood Forest: In the fall, a large redwood forest stands at the foot of the snow-capped mountains, creating a beautiful scene.
2️⃣ Zhugana Lake: There are lakes, snow-capped mountains, and plank roads here. The sightseeing bus does not stop here, so you need to walk. But because of this, there are very few people, and it's a great place to take photos. Don't miss it.
3️⃣ Potala Peak: The redwood forest is at the foot of the snow-capped mountains, and the entire highway is very suitable for taking photos.
4️⃣ Siguna Lake: When the weather is clear, you can take photos of the reflection of the snow-capped mountains. Walk along the wooden plank road, and there are beautiful views everywhere.
5️⃣ Nianyu Dam: The starting point of Mount Siguniang rafting. Go downstream, and the scenery on both sides of the river is picturesque.
6️⃣ Ginseng Fruit Ping: A large grassland where you can also take photos of the rafting scene.
🎈【Recommended Route】
It is recommended to visit in the order of Redwood Forest → Zhugana Lake → Potala Peak → Siguna Lake → Nianyu Dam → Ginseng Fruit Ping.
💡【Travel Tips】
❶ Zhugana Lake is a great place to take photos. Don't miss it.
❷ Don't run or jump during the tour, and you won't have altitude sickness.

The upcoming Siguniang Mountain🏔️
Colorful mountains + snow-covered trees, like a painting!
Be sure to wake up early to see the frost, take the first bus before the sun rises
A weekend round trip is possible~
.
Between Changping Valley and Shuangqiao Valley, I chose Shuangqiao Valley. There are many stops, first-timers can refer to my chosen stops
1⃣️ Redwood Forest
The last stop, it is recommended to take the bus directly to this stop and then play forward. The yellow house and the snow-covered road must be photographed. This stop can be hiked or take the bus directly to the White Pagoda after taking the plank road.
2⃣️ Zhuga Na Cuo
The sightseeing bus does not reach this stop, take the bus to the White Pagoda and then hike for 15 minutes. In the morning, you can take a picture of the reflection of the snow mountain, snow mountain + turquoise sea, super beautiful, must go!
3⃣️ White Pagoda
The stop before Redwood Forest, also my favorite stop, the road leading to the snow mountain🏔️, with colorful forests on both sides, so romantic!
4⃣️ Siguna Cuo
Sea + colorful forest + snow mountain, dead tree forest + blue-green sea
5⃣️ Ginseng Fruit Ping
The last stop, the stream and snow under the snow mountain, as well as cattle and sheep, are especially beautiful in autumn and winter
6⃣️ Dengfenglai B&B (Store 2)
All rooms have a view of the snow mountain, which has been planted for a long time. The room on the 3rd floor has a large floor-to-ceiling window, 180-degree view of Yaomei Peak, open the curtains in the morning to see the snow mountain🏔️, and watch the sunrise directly in the room at night!
.
🚙 Self-driving strategy
Chengdu-Siguniang Mountain self-driving 4h, must self-driving! The road will pass through the snow-capped mountains, and the whole way is amazing!
Friends from outside the province can fly to Chengdu, rent a car or take a carpool, really no need to join a group
.
【Food】
Succulent Restaurant: Yak yogurt must be ordered! The double hot pot is also good, the style is very fresh, coffee and barley cake are good~
Iron Eater: Red soup copper pot is very special, braised beef is also delicious
Shuangliu Fat Intestine Noodles: The stir-fried dishes are not delicious, but the fat intestine noodles and sour and spicy noodles are good.

Four Girls Mountain | A stunning gambling trip.
| A stunning gambling trip.
🏔️🥹Four Girls Mountain, simply unrealistically beautiful! It's like a budget version of Xinjiang, with snow-capped mountains, lakes, and grasslands... Mother Nature's masterpiece is on full display here!💖
🚗From Chengdu, it takes about 4-5 hours to get to Shuangqiao Valley in Four Girls Mountain, without traffic jams.
🎫The entrance ticket and sightseeing bus for Shuangqiao Valley only cost ¥150. After arriving at the scenic area, you need to take the sightseeing bus to the top of the mountain, the [Redwood Forest], which takes about 45 minutes. Then, you can walk down from the top of the mountain, with sightseeing buses available at each stop, making it very convenient.
💚【Must-see tips】💚
🗞️ The altitude of the [Redwood Forest] in Four Girls Mountain is 3840 meters. If you are worried about altitude sickness, you can bring a bottle of oxygen. There is a medical room at the Redwood Forest station, so there is no need to worry too much.
🗞️ The weather on the mountain is changeable. When the weather is good, the sun is very strong and the scenery is beautiful; but when it rains, the wind will be very cold, so it is recommended to bring a windbreaker.
🗞️ If you don't plan to go rafting, don't get off at [Nianyu Dam], because there is no pick-up point at this stop, you need to go rafting to the next stop.
🗞️ The scenery at the top of the [Redwood Forest] is average, you can take a photo and then take the bus down to start playing.
🗞️ It is recommended to start playing in the morning, as you will have more time. For example, the author arrived at noon, the last sightseeing bus time is 5pm, except for the rafting point, all other points were visited, the time was just right!
🗞️ It is said that drinking Coke can relieve altitude sickness. The author didn't prepare anything for this trip to Western Sichuan, but drank a bottle of Coke every day, and didn't get altitude sickness, so it was very comfortable to play.
🗞️ Shuangqiao Valley is well-developed, with clean toilets, so there is no need to worry.
🌈Come to Four Girls Mountain and experience the stunning scenery! Let Trip.com take you on this dream journey and create unforgettable memories!💖

Homestay Search (16) | Dayin Yiji (Siguniang).
| Dayin Yiji (Siguniang). 📍Location: Siguniang Mountain and the original forest in the canyon
🚗After a difficult journey along a snowy mountain road, two white three-story buildings leaning against each other at a certain angle come into view. They are connected by a low wing room to form a whole, like a small flower growing in the snow, stubbornly integrated with the earth. At this time, the small windows and corner windows of the building emit warm orange light, making people feel warm and affectionate. The overall building has both the wrapping of traditional Tibetan style and the simplicity and clear features of modern architecture.
✅This is Changpinggou, Siguniang Mountain, known as the "Oriental Alps"; this is the only boutique homestay open to the public in Siguniang Mountain Scenic Area: "Dayin Siguniang"; this is the residence tailored by Chengdu Wanqianji Design Company for those who love snow mountains and Siguniang Mountain!
✅The boutique homestay "Dayin Siguniang" hidden in Siguniang Mountain has such characteristics and temperament of "close to the end of the world, gathering and dispersing"!

Just returned from Mount Siguniang!
The aftereffects are even stronger than a breakup. The beauty of Mount Siguniang in summer can truly bring you to tears! I've been to western Sichuan several times, but what I miss the most is its summer. Here, you'll find that it's not just about climbing mountains; it's also a destination for camping, mountaineering, and hiking. The forest and snow-capped mountains frame each other, the meadows and lakes reflect each other, and the scenery is as stunning as a wallpaper.
Must-visit spots:
1. Buda La Peak: This is the most beautiful spot in Shuangqiao Valley, backed by snow-capped mountains and white pagodas, and is also a great location for road trip photos.
2. Redwood Forest: Here, you can get a close-up view of the snow-capped mountains. It's the highest point of the entire trip, and the vast redwood forest is breathtaking.
3. Nianyu Dam: This is the starting point for rafting. The water mostly comes from melted snow, offering a dreamy rafting experience at the foot of the snow-capped mountains.
4. Siguniang Lake: A must-see spot that combines snow-capped mountains, dead trees, and lakes, making it incredibly beautiful.
5. Ginseng Fruit Meadow: There are many yak friends here, and the hundreds of acres of grassland resemble the Chonggu Meadow in Daocheng, perfect for taking stunning photos.

Mount Siguniang! It's like a painting
The upcoming Mount Siguniang is the pinnacle of summer in Western Sichuan!
Just returned from Mount Siguniang, and before going, everyone said, 'Western Sichuan is green, you can go!'
With a gambling mindset, I set off, and unexpectedly, I won big. Shuanggou Bridge is absolutely stunning!
About Transportation
Self-driving is more suitable for cities around Chengdu, but the journey to Western Sichuan is long, with winding mountain roads and many large trucks. Self-driving tours are not recommended.
If you choose a tour group, pick a pure play group for higher freedom and comfortable vehicles, as the journey is long. Avoid bus tours.
Friends from other places are advised to choose Shuangliu Airport for landing, as it is more convenient for transportation. Many tour groups offer airport pickup.
Shuangqiao Valley, Mount Siguniang
Ticket: 150 (including 70 for the sightseeing bus)
Time: 08:00-15:00, spring and summer buses stop at 17:30, autumn and winter buses stop at 17:00
Photo Spots:
Zhugana Cuo (a must-visit, the most stunning place for photos)
There is no stop here, no parking. You need to get off at the Potala Peak stop and walk a few hundred meters through the popular redwood forest (the scenery along this walk is also beautiful!)
Once you walk in, you will see snow-capped mountains and lakes, truly breathtaking!!
Potala Peak (a must-visit)
At the end of the winding road is the snow-capped mountain, perfect for road trip photos.
Walking and taking photos anywhere in the middle is beautiful.
Siguna Cuo (a must-visit)
A lake under the snow-capped mountains, with dead trees, shrubs, and reflections of the snow-capped mountains, looks like a painting.
Outfit
Summer fixed outfit: jacket + dress/clothes, white and colorful clothes are great for photos.
Style: Melad, wasteland style, French, and pastoral styles are all super OK!
Thoughtful Suggestions:
Do not wash your hair or take a bath in the first two days upon arriving at high altitudes, as it can easily cause altitude sickness.
No matter when you go to Western Sichuan, always bring a thick coat.
The high altitude means strong UV rays, so take good sun protection measures.
Make sure to wear comfortable shoes. Don't just focus on looking good in photos; many scenic spots require walking.

The aftereffects brought by Western Sichuan are even more intense than a heartbreak!
🎈The original picture of Mount Siguniang is straight out, and the aftereffects brought by Western Sichuan are even more intense than a heartbreak! Here comes the summary of my strategy for spending 1700+ on a customized small group tour⛰
If someone hasn't been to Mount Siguniang in the summer, I would really cry to death😭😭 It's really so beautiful that it hits right in the feels without any need for filters! Snow mountains, lakes, grasslands, yaks, log cabins, the beauty here is completely natural and doesn't need any excessive embellishment, 📷a casual snap is just like a blockbuster movie🤩🤩
🔸【Mount Siguniang】
It is divided into three scenic areas: Shuangqiao Valley, Changping Valley, and Haizi Valley. I highly recommend choosing Shuangqiao Valley, where you can enjoy the fun of hiking and also take a tour by car, which is not tiring at all! Shuangqiao Valley is the most developed valley in Mount Siguniang, with a scenic area tour bus that runs through the entire valley. The scenery in the valley is like a huge bonsai, with forests, snow mountains, streams, lakes, and meadows perfectly integrated, and many places will make you feel as if you are in Switzerland.
‼️If you can only choose one place to go in Western Sichuan, take a look at the Western Sichuan small loop, which really meets all travel needs. Spend three days visiting the essence spots like Fish West, Mugecuo, Zheduo Mountain, Moxi Park, Mount Siguniang Shuangqiao Valley, Tagong Grassland, etc.‼️
❗️❗️【Itinerary】
🍋Day1: Chengdu - Mao's Nose Ridge - Mount Siguniang Shuangqiao Valley - Danba
🍋Day2: Danba - Yala Snow Mountain Viewing Platform - Huiyuan Temple - Moxi Park - Tagong Grassland - Fish West - Xinduqiao
🍋Day3: Xinduqiao - Zheduo Mountain - Mugecuo - Chengdu
📌【Travel Guide】
Recommended travel dates: July every summer.
Exact location: Mount Siguniang Town, Xiaojin County, Aba Tibetan and Qiang Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan Province.
Business hours: 7:30-15:30 (No entry into the park after 15:30).
Tickets: Ticket plus park sightseeing car 150 yuan/person.
✅【Preparations Before Departure】
1. Altitude sickness: I am the kind of person who easily gets altitude sickness, but going to Shuangqiao Valley is no problem. If you are worried, you can prepare some glucose, and if you feel hypoxic after entering the mountain, you can buy an oxygen can, which is available at almost every station for self-service sale.
2. Transportation: For friends who drive by themselves, if you are not often on this route, it is not recommended to drive by yourself. The roads in Western Sichuan are treacherous, especially during the rainy season, so be more cautious as the routes are complex and dangerous.
3. Accommodation: Accommodation is generally chosen in Rilong Town (Mount Siguniang Town), and there are homestays available for accommodation in Shuangqiao Valley, suitable for in-depth travel.
4. Weather: You can check the weather in Xiaojin County before departure, which is generally accurate. Even if it's cloudy on the road, it might be a different scene once you cross the mountain. When the sun comes out, it's really hot, so just wear some easy-to-take-off jackets.

This view outside the window is what attracted me here
Looking at the starry sky in Siguniang Mountain
Vacilando in Spanish means: Traveling with the mentality that the experience is more important than the destination. So the meaning of travel doesn't matter whether it's a popular tourist destination or a hot internet celebrity check-in point, it's about the journey, it's about the scenery along the way. Even if it's in a small mountain village where no one cares, or the hometown of old friends, as long as you're on the road, it's a journey.
Life keeps moving, but the journey can

The stunning scenery of the snowy region, the Double Bridge Gully of the Four Girls Mountain makes a stunning appearance!
I have been to the Double Bridge Gully of the Four Girls Mountain, which becomes incredibly beautiful after snowfall😭! I originally thought that the Four Girls Mountain would look bare in winter, but I didn't expect it to be so charming after snowfall. The roads are covered with white snow, and the branches are covered with rime ice crystals❄️. There are relatively fewer people in winter, and it feels like you have the whole snow mountain to yourself‼️
