Sichuan version of Altai [Algou].

I'm really tired of the roads to Wenchuan and Siguniang Mountain. Sichuan, you're the best... I haven't been anywhere recently and I don't have anywhere in particular I want to go, so let's go there... 🎒 Hiking strategy: Arrive at the hiking starting point around 10:40. The hike is 5km one way with an elevation gain of 1000m. Parking is 10 yuan, and insurance is 5 yuan per person at the entrance. There is no signal📶 throughout the hike, so you need to rent a walkie-talkie. I already had one, so I brought my own. Road conditions🦓: Scenic area road, all stairs, you can walk to the top. Of course, I took a wild road halfway, a slope of 60.70 degrees. It's not slippery if it doesn't rain. I recommend beginners to stick to the scenic area road, the distance is about the same. Photo shooting📷: There is a small stream in the first half of the journey, and there are large rocks in the mountains during the ascent. There is a dragon pool at the top, and it's still very photogenic when the weather is good. Temperature🌡️: Chengdu is 35 degrees, and it's only 20 degrees there. It's very windy at the top of the mountain, so it's best to have a wind shell. I wore a base layer when I wasn't in the sun, and shorts and long socks the rest of the time. 🎒 Equipment list: 👟 Hiking shoes, quick-drying clothes, windproof jacket and pants, sun hat, headscarf, gloves, knee pads. 🌂 Raincoat, sun hat, sunscreen, sunglasses. 🎒 Backpack, trekking poles, thermos, food and water, garbage bags, common medicines, etc. ⚠️ Difficulty analysis: High altitude, prone to altitude sickness. Long distance, diverse road conditions, large elevation gain, suitable for experienced and physically fit people~ There are food and fruit vendors at the entrance of the scenic area. Wenchuan's plums are really sweet. You can bring some. Finally, to summarize, Algou is actually quite cost-effective. Of course, the altitude is 3000, so it's still demanding on your physical fitness. Our children didn't go up because they weren't feeling well due to altitude sickness. There are also quite a lot of people, so the experience is a bit worse for those who prefer a small and quiet environment... There are too many people with loudspeakers
