[2025 Baoxing Attraction] Travel Guide for Jiajin Mountain (Updated Jan)

Jiajin Mountain Scenic Area is located in Baoxing County, Ya'an City, Sichuan Province. With an altitude of 4,100 meters, it is an excellent choice for hiking. Along the way, you can enjoy the natural scenery of primeval forests and alpine meadows. 🚉Transportation Guide: No ticket is required, and parking is free. It takes about 4.5 hours to drive from Baoxing County. 🍲Dining and 🏩Accommodation: There are snacks for sale at the Bugle Call on Jiajin Mountain, but the options are limited. It is recommended that visitors bring their own food or dine at the Red Army Post at the foot of the mountain. For accommodation, you can choose Shenmulei, Dawa Gengza, or the Red Army Post. Please note that due to the remote location, the accommodation may be relatively simple. 📝Tips: 1. Pay special attention to the risk of falling rocks and altitude sickness in high-altitude areas. 2. Respect local customs and protect the environment. Please bring your own trash bags and take your trash with you. 3. The mountain roads are narrow and winding. Drive safely and honk to alert others. 4. The ultraviolet rays are strong at high altitudes, so take sun protection measures. Also, pay attention to the temperature difference and bring a spring/autumn jacket. 5. Respect local flora and fauna, and do not provoke free-range yaks and sheep.

1️⃣ 'Jiajin Mountain' means towering and steep mountain in Tibetan. The local folk song says, 'Birds can't fly over it, and people can't climb it.' In June 1935, the brave Red Army conquered it, but many soldiers stayed here forever. 2️⃣ Leaving Dengchigou and continuing north, the mountains become more majestic. After an hour's drive, we arrived at Qiaoqi Lake at the foot of Jiajin Mountain. This lake was formed by the construction of the Qiaoqi Hydropower Station on the upper reaches of the Baoxing River in 2002. At the southern end of Qiaoqi Lake, a green pine tree guards the Red Army tomb beneath it, with red ribbons fluttering in the wind on its trunk. This is the 'Red Army Umbrella.' Back then, Tibetan compatriots spontaneously buried the unburied remains of Red Army soldiers here and planted a green pine tree above them. Every year, they tie red scarves and khatas to commemorate them. Ninety years later, the tree has grown tall like an umbrella, and the Red Army tomb remains intact, with white chrysanthemums offered in remembrance. To the north of Qiaoqi Lake, the 'Monument to the Red Army Crossing Jiajin Mountain' stands solemnly, facing north and south. Surrounded by green mountains and clear waters with red stars dotted around, looking back at the heroic days of the past, I can't help but feel a surge of passion: the clear wind shines on a sunny day, the clear water ripples, and the pine waves remain the same. 3️⃣ Tomorrow we will cross Jiajin Mountain. It's still early, so we drive to the Shenmulei Scenic Area to calm our excited hearts. Shenmulei is a meadow under the Pagra Sacred Mountain, at an altitude of about 2700 meters. The original redwood forest and alpine meadows in the scenic area are suitable for quiet walks, but the facilities need improvement. Compared to the lakeside, it seems a bit plain. I am Anxiang Yingxiu, sharing stories in the scenery with you.
