You should always save a summer for the Four Girls Mountain in Western Sichuan!

Starting from Chengdu, in just 4 hours by car 🚗, you can enter this poetic and picturesque world. In August, it’s as beautiful as an unfolding oil painting 🎨, truly deserving the title of the Eastern Alps~Catch the tail end of summer for a trip to Four Girls Mountain. . About the Four Girls Mountain routes 1️⃣ Easy hiking routes 🚶: 📍 Shuangqiao Valley (car tour + boardwalk): You can tour the entire route by car, family-friendly! Longzhu Lake and Siguna Lake are must-visit spots. 📍 Changping Valley - Muliaozi (12km one way): Take a car for the first half, then horseback ride or hike through the primeval forest, with meadows facing Mount Yaomei 🏔️. Advanced challenge 💪: 📍 Haizi Valley to Chaoshanping: At the end of April, experience Tibetan culture at the Chaoshan Festival, hike to Dahai Lake surrounded by wildflowers 🌸, but no sightseeing vehicles, the whole route requires horseback riding or hiking, beginners beware. (If you don’t have much time, just visiting Shuangqiao Valley is enough.) . ⭕ Travel tips ▪️ Sit in the front right seat of the sightseeing bus for a wide view and easy photo opportunities 🚌. ▪️ No stops at Zhuganazuo in Shuangqiao Valley; after getting off at Potala Peak station, walk 1 km to reach it. ▪️ Bring your own snacks for easier energy replenishment; there are snack stalls at the Redwood Forest and Ginseng Fruit Meadow 🍽️. ⭕ Motion sickness + altitude sickness tips: ▫️ Take medicine in advance if prone to motion sickness; mountain roads can cause nausea. ▫️ Avoid washing hair or bathing (oxygen consumption can worsen altitude sickness); after 2-3 days of altitude adaptation, you can wash. ▫️ Bring oxygen bottles and altitude sickness medicine; if feeling unwell, descend immediately and use oxygen. . ⭕ Suggested itinerary (can be adjusted) D1 Chengdu - Free activities D2 Balang Mountain Pass - Maobiniang Viewing Platform - Changqing Village D3 Four Girls Mountain Shuangqiao Valley - Middle Road Tibetan Village D4 Moxi Park - Gunong Village - Xinduqiao Town D5 Yuzixi - Provincial Road 434 - Stinco - Rainbow Road - Honghaizi D6 Kangding - Mugecuo - Chengdu . 🏨 Hotel recommendations 🔸 Four Girls Mountain Dayin Yujing Hotel Open the curtains to see Mount Yaomei; some rooms have private hot springs and large bathtubs, so you can soak while enjoying the snowy mountains. 🔸 Xinduqiao Zamba Mingjing Hotel Full of Tibetan elements, rooms have full-floor heating, diffused oxygen supply, and private hot springs; a khata scarf is offered upon arrival.
