Review of a self-guided trip to the Four Girls. Budget-friendly travel for those on a tight budget. 🍂☃️ Siguniangshan (四姑娘山) or “Four Girls Mountain” is known as the Switzerland of China on the Shuangqiaogou (双桥沟) route.
During the autumn foliage season in late October, the Four Girls Mountain was heavily snowed on. The white color covered the valley so much that the atmosphere was so romantic. The view was worth millions. It was as beautiful as a painting. It was worth the wait. It truly lived up to its name. The higher you go, the colder it gets..

The time I went to the park was 9.30 - 14.00. I encountered heavy snow at 10 am. I felt very happy and impressed.
