Ctrip offers convenient ticketing; simply scan your ID card to enter the park and head to Mount Siguniang for a deeply moving rendezvous with the mountains and sea of western Sichuan. Four snow-capped peaks stand side-by-side in the folds of the Hengduan Mountains. The Queen of Sichuan, Yaomei Peak, pierces the clouds at 6250 meters, its perpetually snow-covered body tinged with a pale pinkish-golden glow in the morning light. When the clouds drift over your shoulders, it's like a soft white veil, both serene and gentle. The lines of Sanguniang Mountain are graceful, Erguniang Mountain holds the vibrancy of a lake, and Daguniang Mountain embraces the vastness of meadows. Each of the four peaks possesses its own unique character, standing quietly through the ages, forming the most captivating silhouette on the western Sichuan skyline.

I hope that all the staff who helped me in the scenic area can see this review. Please allow me to express my highest respect and gratitude to the staff of Siguniang Mountain Scenic Area with the most sincere strokes! On May 3, 2025, when I visited Shuangqiaogou with my family, I left my backpack on the bench at the sightseeing bus stop due to personal negligence. Fortunately, the efficient and professional help of the scenic area staff made us feel the human warmth beyond the natural beauty. The beautiful scenery of the snow-capped mountains and lakes is like a poem, a painting, and a mirror, reflecting the excellent service quality of the scenic area, shining brightly. When the sightseeing bus arrived at Ginseng Fruit Ping, I got off the bus and was shocked to find that the weight on my shoulders disappeared. I was so anxious that I couldn't remember whether my backpack was left on the sightseeing bus or somewhere else. In a panic, we found the staff of the scenic area. In just 5 minutes, a staff member of the scenic area brought us reassuring news-it turned out that the backpack was forgotten by me on the bench at the Longzhucuo bus stop at the previous station. As soon as it was left behind, it was discovered and properly kept by the staff of the previous station. They also sent me photos, and after confirming that it was my backpack, they took a work car to return the backpack to me. The staff member who returned the backpack to me was a beautiful lady. Her bright eyes and beautiful face, long hair fluttering gently in the mountain breeze, and standardized uniform hat and clothing left a good impression on me. When I took over the undamaged backpack, I couldn't help but bow deeply and thanked repeatedly. The staff who paid and provided help nodded slightly but did not leave their names, just as the poem says: "The work is done and the clothes are gone, and the merits and names are hidden." They sublimate their professional mission into meticulous care. Their sense of responsibility to actively protect the rights and interests of tourists is just like the snow-capped top of Siguniang Mountain that never melts all year round, always watching every traveler with a pure attitude. The whole process from discovering the loss of the backpack to returning it took less than 15 minutes, and the seamless connection between different sites during the period showed the perfection of the scenic area service and the tacit understanding of teamwork. It made me see the most precious qualities of tourism workers in the new era: not only the perseverance of snow-capped mountains, but also the agility of streams; not only high professional quality, but also the consideration and responsibility of humanistic care. The towering Yaomei Peak is reflected in the mirror of Cuola Lake, and the thousand-year-old sea buckthorn forest stretches its branches in the plateau wind. However, the most unforgettable thing about this trip is the perfect integration of the natural gifts and human warmth in the scenic area. These details are like stars, making the magnificence of Siguniang Mountain no longer limited to visual shock, but also turning into a warm current flowing in the heart. On the second day of the journey, the child pointed to the peaks reflected by the sun and shouted: "Mom, the snow mountain is shining!" I think that the light is not only the refraction of the sun on the ice and snow, but also the human brilliance illuminated by the enthusiasm and kindness of countless ordinary and great souls like the workers of Siguniang Mountain Scenic Area. The best scenery is always worthy of the most gentle protection! Dear friends, please help me to share it. I hope that the staff who help me can see it. I wish them promotion and salary increase, happiness and joy!
