Things to do in Xiaojin

1. Mount Siguniang is truly breathtaking! Snow-capped mountains, meadows, forests, and streams are all within sight, and every snapshot is a masterpiece. The Shuangqiaogou sightseeing bus goes directly to each stop, making the tour easy and offering a rich variety of scenery, making it well worth a visit.

My first stop in Western Sichuan, Shuangqiao Valley in Siguniang Mountain, was truly breathtaking! Snow-capped mountains, meadows, forests, and streams accompanied me along the way, making every snapshot a wallpaper-worthy scene. The redwood forest offers panoramic views, and the waters of Siguniang Lake reflect the snow-capped peaks beautifully. From the Potala Peak, you can capture stunning shots of the snow-capped mountains against the backdrop of the highway. A sightseeing bus runs the entire way, taking you directly to the redwood forest for photos. After visiting one attraction, you can simply transfer to the next, avoiding strenuous hiking. The entire trip takes about five to six hours, so please manage your time well, as the scenic area doesn't require much physical exertion. The air in the valley is incredibly fresh, so even at high altitude, you won't feel overly tired. The scenic area is well-managed, with clean restrooms, clear signage, and friendly staff. Whether you want to enjoy the scenery or take photos, Shuangqiao Valley is perfect. If you're visiting Western Sichuan, Shuangqiao Valley is definitely worth a full day to explore at your leisure! Scenery: Fun: Value for Money:

It was totally worth it! I saw Yaomei Peak this morning, although I only walked a little way up to the Dead Tree Beach before turning back. I saw yaks and sulfur rocks, so I was still very satisfied. The sunny weather, blue sky, white clouds, green mountains, and clear water made it perfect.

Maobiliang is a viewing point on the road along the Sichuan West Loop. From here, as long as the weather is good, you can see the whole picture of Siguniang Mountain, especially the highest peak, Simei Peak, which is the second highest peak in western Sichuan. The snow on the top of the mountain never melts all year round. The surrounding mountains are also very beautiful when viewed from the viewing point!

Avoid horseback riding at all costs! Avoid horseback riding at all costs! Avoid horseback riding at all costs! I booked a round-trip horseback ride to Huahaizi for 720 yuan, but on the way there, the driver at the pick-up point refused to take me! He said he didn't want to go anymore. Later I found out he went to pick up hikers coming down from Dafeng in the early morning and ripped them off! I was speechless! So here's my very honest advice for anyone going to Haizigou: 1. Don't ride a horse. If you want to ride, only go as far as Chaotianping. Don't go any further. First, you're likely to get ripped off, and second, the scenery is best at Chaotianping. Go as far as Shiban Re, and the Dahaizi area is really not worth it; it's quite ordinary. Huahaizi is just a ditch unless it's in bloom. Anyone who goes there is a huge waste of 20km of boring mountain trails. Anyone who rides a horse is a fool who gets ripped off by the horsemen. (Attached photos: the first two are of Chaotianping, the last two are of the endless, muddy horse trail beyond Chaotianping, and Dahaizi, which is only 20km further on the round trip.) 🙂

Majiagou in autumn colors is well worth a visit. After taking the scenic shuttle bus, you need to hike for more than an hour. The highest altitude is over 4200 meters, so be careful to prevent altitude sickness. Walking slowly will help.

Mount Siguniang, known as the "Queen of Sichuan Mountains," is a must-see snow-capped mountain paradise in western Sichuan. Shuangqiao Valley offers a relaxing sightseeing bus tour, with redwood forests, meadows, and lakes unfolding in succession, the lakes reflecting the snow-capped peaks – every view is a masterpiece. Changping Valley is perfect for hiking, offering close-up views of Yaomei Peak, accompanied by forest streams and a truly immersive mountain atmosphere. Plateau weather is unpredictable, with significant temperature differences between day and night; be sure to dress warmly and be aware of altitude sickness. The harmonious blend of snow-capped mountains, meadows, and forests offers both magnificent landscapes and soothing wilderness scenery – a place you'll never forget.

This redwood forest is located in Shuangqiaogou of the Siguniang Mountain Scenic Area, with an altitude of more than 3,000 meters. It is surrounded by snow-capped mountains and beautiful scenery. Visitors can walk through the forest along the wooden plank road and feel the nature.

没通隧道之前翻巴朗山垭口，风起云涌，云海翻腾，蔚为壮观……隧道通了，垭口被永久封闭，景色打了折扣，沿途看看云海环绕雪山，也还不错吧。
