Oh my, the legendary Mount Siguniang, it's like a fairyland on earth!
Mount Siguniang, that's the shining pearl of Western Sichuan, known as the 'Queen of Sichuan Mountains' and 'Oriental Switzerland'! Did you know, it's actually made up of four magnificent peaks, just like four beautiful girls holding hands standing there, making everyone's heart flutter at the sight.
When it comes to the attractions of Mount Siguniang, there are countless! Shuangqiao Valley, Changping Valley, Haizi Valley, each one is so enchanting. Especially Shuangqiao Valley, it's the most beautiful valley of Mount Siguniang! Imagine, snow mountains, grasslands, high mountain pastures, and forests, all concentrated here, just like a breathtaking painting. In autumn, the scenery here is even more breathtakingly beautiful, with layers of forests dyed in colors, a feast for the eyes.
If you want to go to Shuangqiao Valley, then I must tell you about it. Shuangqiao Valley is 34 kilometers long, and the sightseeing bus will take you directly to the top of the mountain, then you can enjoy the trip from the top down. The attractions in order are the Redwood Forest, Buda Peak, Siguna Lake, Ginseng Fruit Flat, Fish Chasing Dam, each with a sightseeing bus stop, and you can enjoy the whole journey by bus without getting tired. The towering peaks on both sides, birch forests, maple trees, fir, spruce, and other trees are scattered throughout the valley, with roads, white pagodas, herds, and lakes embellishing the scenic area, just like a beautiful landscape painting.
As for the cost, the adult ticket is 80, the sightseeing bus is 70, and there are half-price discounts for students! There are also free tickets for the elderly and children! If you're driving, parking is 20 yuan per day, and the transportation cost is about 300-400 yuan. If you take a high-speed train and transfer to a bus, it's about 150 yuan per person one way. Don't worry about food and accommodation, the average cost of eating near the scenic area is about 50 yuan per person, and accommodation is generally 200-300 yuan per night, it will be more expensive during holidays, but it's also convenient to stay in the nearby Siguniang Town.
Also, Mount Siguniang is a bit high in altitude, so you might experience altitude sickness. Therefore, it's best to take some anti-altitude sickness medicine before the trip, and don't run or jump quickly during the visit.
Finally, let me recommend an itinerary for you: Depart from Chengdu on the first day, passing through Kangding, Honghaizi, Yuzixi, Xinduqiao; on the second day, visit Moon Lake, Lengga Lake, Xinduqiao; on the third day, go to Tagong Grassland, Gunong Village, Balangshengdu, Danba; the fourth day is the long-awaited Shuangqiao Valley of Mount Siguniang! Then return to Chengdu.
How about it? Are you tempted? Then hurry up and set off, Mount Siguniang is waiting for you! 💗
The whole journey is24-27 kilometers of walking. I deeply understand that the body is in hell and the soul is in heaven. I need to be fully prepared. It is as difficult as lack of oxygen. It is a lack of water. There are very few water supply stations. It is best to prepare 8 bottles of 250ml of mineral water. It is best to reserve 8-9 hours. The scenery is enough to take pictures of the world.
Luck is quite good, catch up with a good weather, the whole view of Siguniang Mountain! Changpinggou is the best choice for hiking enthusiasts. The scenery is pleasant. It is really enjoyable to walk between the snow-capped mountains and the pine and cypress. Be sure to walk to the wooden raft, the snow-capped mountains and meadows are beautiful. Only after you arrive can you feel it.
This time I bought a direct train ticket from Chengdu to Siguniang Mountain. It was very convenient, very convenient and worry-free. It took more than 4 hours to arrive at Siguniang Mountain Scenic Area. The driver's car skills are very good. Patiently answer our questions. I will take the direct train next time I have the opportunity.
I compared this through train on the Internet. I got on the bus at 4:30 in the afternoon in Changpinggou, Siguniang Mountain. I contacted the driver in advance and made an appointment for the pick-up location. The car was in good condition. The driver's car skills were good. I took a few tourists along the way. Others did not have a twist. At about 9 pm, I got off at the Jinke North Road subway station in Chengdu. It was very smooth and cost-effective. It was highly recommended.
The scenery is good! It is a bit hypoxic, high anti-reverse!
Siguniang Mountain Scenic Area, I have no chance to play this time, see you next time 👋🏻
