·
You can hike up the snow mountain, we are three days and two nights hiking and camping🏕️, camping in the canyon at the snow line, climbing to the top the next day and continuing to camp, and descending the mountain on the third day; the villagers said that they can drive up to the snow line, I didn't know that I hiked up, and I will go again if I have the chance.
·
Hiking from the lawn, through the forest, shrubs, down a long section of gravel slope, camping under the canyon, climbing to the top in the morning.
·
Precautions⚠️:
1️⃣Be sure to keep warm when camping in the snow, and bring the corresponding equipment when climbing the snow mountain.

The roads are covered with white snow, and the branches are covered with rime ice crystals❄️.

·
✅Scenic spots I think are worth staying:
🔷Changqing Mountain Village Viewing Platform
This place is very suitable for watching the sunrise on the Golden Mountain (6 pm in the evening) The "Youngest Peak" after the Sichuan Mountains is close at hand, very shocking~
·
🔷Cat Nose Ridge Viewing Platform
It is also a viewing platform for the Four Girls Mountain, the difference is that it can take more rich layers of mountain peaks
·
🔷Yala Snow Mountain Viewing Platform
From Daofu County to Xindu Bridge, you can see this viewing platform, the same as the scenery seen in the scenic area,
·
🔷Lengga Lake
🎫B line 230/person
This place is very controversial, it is a better position to see Gongga Snow Mountain, but we did not see the sunrise on the Golden Mountain (6 pm in the evening) so it is not good to evaluate whether it is worth it, will specifically launch a detailed strategy for it
·
🔷Muya Temple
Just in Tagong Grassland, if you don't go into the temple, it's free, and behind it is the Yala Snow Mountain Group, you can take a picture of the red wall, white tower and snow mountain in the same frame.

Changping Valley - Mt Siguniangshan
A nice stroll with a lot of boardwalk. If you are looking at a few hrs or even full day you will probably not make it to the hiking part. It appears you must camp as the valley is nearly 30km. The area has beautiful mountains and forest and the path follows the river. You should plan when hiking in this area .

Four Girls Mountain | Just one frame, the classic encounter is no longer there
| Just one frame, the classic encounter is no longer there. Last June, I went on a self-driving trip to Western Sichuan with a friend 🚗
Saw the lush and thriving mountain scenery and the piercingly green lake water ⛰️
Everywhere was filled with endless freedom and vitality 🌲
Cattle and sheep were grazing casually on the grassland 🐂
Every now and then, a squirrel would leap across the forest 🐿️
If you are in pursuit of something, say freedom and recklessness
Then welcome, you must come and see Western Sichuan in June
The answers are all on the road, just waiting to be captured.

⚠️⚠️⚠️Important Notes
💕Students must bring their student ID cards, and if joining a tour group, present it to the guide in advance to get a partial refund.

💕The sightseeing bus takes about 40 minutes up the mountain, sit on the right side for a more beautiful view.
💕Tour groups stop at 【Mao Bi Liang】, where you can admire the Yaomei Peak!
📌Little Tips:
1. The road conditions in Western Sichuan are complex, and the attractions are scattered. If you want to avoid hassle, you can choose to join a group; if you have friends with you, you can follow a small group, which allows for more freedom and the ability to stop and go as you please.
2. During the May Day peak travel season, traffic congestion is likely no matter which route you take, so be prepared with snacks and motion sickness medicine💊.
3. For girls who want to take beautiful photos, just make sure to moisturize and apply sunscreen🌞, as the climate in Western Sichuan is dry and the UV rays are strong.
4. During the May Day period, you can go up the mountain at 17:00 and arrive around 18:00. If the weather is good, the sunset view is truly stunning.
5. Be sure to sign a contract before departing, and if the driver or guide takes you to a fixed restaurant without asking or there are other hidden fees, you can complain to 12345.
6. Self-driving to Western Sichuan is not recommended during the May Day holiday, as traffic jams are common, and there may be snowstorms during the seasonal change, so be prepared with anti-skid chains.
7. For those who need to self-drive🚗, remember to download offline maps, as there may be no signal in high-altitude areas, and carry some change for emergencies. The last part of Gedalama is a gravel road, and it is not recommended for sedans.
8. Local beliefs are taken very seriously, so do not kick or touch Mani stone piles, pat children on the head, or argue with locals.

One-day tour to Mount Siguniang
Checked in at Mount Siguniang!
It takes only three and a half hours to drive from Chengdu, and we bought the scenic area admission tickets and sightseeing bus tickets online in advance. We chose to visit the well-developed Shuangqiao Valley route, which offers incredibly beautiful scenery. We saw the beautiful snow-capped mountains~emerald lakes~herds of yaks~ The internet-famous highway also offers a very broad view, and it's gorgeous no matter how you take pictures. The 3360 Coffee Shop has a cozy and artistic interior, and it's a nice choice to stop by for a simple rest with a cup of coffee when you're tired from the trip! Plus, there's a 'Sky Land' outdoors that's worth checking in at too~
Warm tips:
1. There's a big temperature difference, so it's a good idea to wear a warm coat.
2. The UV rays are strong, so be sure to protect yourself from the sun, and those who suffer from altitude sickness severely can prepare oxygen tanks.
3. It's advisable to prepare some snacks in advance to replenish your energy.

Mount Siguniang: Strolling through picturesque scenery
Mount Siguniang, resembling a paradise on earth, exudes unique charm in every season, inspiring my longing. The clouds there are as vast as the ocean, and the snow-capped mountains undulate like guardians of the land. Among this heaven and earth, cattle and sheep roam leisurely, composing a harmonious and beautiful picture. Standing here, I feel as if I am in the Swiss Alps or atop the Tianshan Mountains in Xinjiang, intoxicated by every view. Just by picking up a camera, one can capture these heart-stirring moments, preserving the wonderful memories forever.
🚌 Travel Tips:
Location: Siguniangshan Town, Xiaojin County, Aba Tibetan and Qiang Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan
🚗 Transportation: Depart from Chengdu, take the Western Sichuan Small Loop, passing by Mount Siguniang
【Mount Siguniang Shuangqiao Valley Scenic Area】
🎫 Ticket 80+ Sightseeing Bus 70
🕗 Park Entry Time: 8-15 o'clock, the last bus starts to return from 17-18 o'clock. It is recommended to enter the scenic area earlier, as there is sunlight in the valley from 10-17 o'clock in summer, and good weather allows for a whole day of photography.
🌟 Photography Secrets Revealed
❶ The mysterious veil of Mount Siguniang can only be lifted when the weather is favorable. Do not be impatient, wait patiently until the sun bathes the summit, that's when she is most beautiful.
❷ To capture that poetic and picturesque paradise, you must rise early, letting the first rays of morning light illuminate your lens. Laziness will not produce stunning works!
❸ The morning sunlight, soft and silky, gently touches every inch of the land, no filter needed, for she is already as beautiful as a poem or painting.
❹ Attire is also part of photography, a brightly colored hat, a warm lantern, an elegant skirt, all are your best partners, making you shine in front of the camera.

Four Girls Mountain - Haizi Valley Day Trip
Depart at 5:30 AM and arrive at Balang Mountain at 9:30 AM. The scenery along Balang Mountain is very beautiful and super suitable for photography, but when we went there, the flowers were almost gone. We reached Four Girls Mountain at noon. Since we brought our dog, we could only visit Haizi Valley; the other two valleys were not accessible to us. After buying tickets, you can choose to ride a horse up and down the mountain, but we chose to hike haha. The weather was super good on the day we went, and every casual shot was a masterpiece!!!

No clickbait, I really don't recommend a day trip to Mount Siguniang on May Day
The photo is from last May Day. It's beautiful, isn't it?~
After May, the grass at Mount Siguniang turns green.
Visiting Mount Siguniang not only allows you to see the snow-capped mountains up close
but also avoids high-altitude areas. There are also streams and meadows, with yaks and horses frolicking right beside you, it's truly romantic!
However, if you're planning to visit during the May Day holiday, you should be prepared for the following:
-
1. Traffic jams are severe during May Day, and it's almost impossible to achieve a round trip on the same day.
2. There will be a lot of people in the scenic area during May Day, and if you're in a hurry, the experience won't be good.
For example, if you go early in the morning on the first day, you'll arrive at the scenic area by noon or afternoon, and you'll be in such a rush that you won't see much scenery.
The scenic area closes at six o'clock, and you have to start queuing for the shuttle bus out at five o'clock.
-
Therefore, I suggest visiting Mount Siguniang with enough time and traveling off-peak.
