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.

Dreamy Days at Mount Siguniang—A Couple’s Himalayan Getaway 🏔️✨ Set against the jaw-dropping backdrop of Sichuan’s legendary Siguniang Mountain, this spot is an absolute dream for adventurous couples! Imagine snow-capped peaks, flower-filled meadows, and panoramic trails that’ll make your heart skip a beat—even when the weather switches from rays to rainclouds. 🧭 Recommended Route Kick off early from Rilong Town and hike into Shuangqiao Valley for sweeping mountain vistas and epic glacier photo ops. Hit the Changping Valley Trail for more secluded couple moments, with wildflowers and alpine creatures along the way—your camera will get a workout! 🎥 Insta-Worthy Angles Snap that iconic couple’s shot at the valley’s edge, with the Four Sisters Peaks shimmering behind. Look for patches of wildflowers for a pastel pop in your foreground, and if the clouds roll in, embrace the moody mountain vibes! 💡 Visiting Tips Weather flips FAST—bring both sunscreen and a good rain jacket (umbrellas just don’t cut it when the wind picks up)! Sturdy hiking shoes are a must. Local snacks like yak butter tea are a fun treat, but stay hydrated and pace yourself with altitude. ⚠️ Key Precautions Altitude can be intense, so ascend slowly, rest plenty, and skip alcohol the night before. During florals, stick to designated trails—a lot of flowers are protected here! #MountSiguniang #HikingCouple #SichuanNature #MountainAdventure #TravelNote
