At the end of October, Siguniang Mountain is like a spilled palette of colors

Blue skies, snowy mountains, and colorful forests weave an autumnal picture perfect enough to be a desktop wallpaper with every snap～ 🚗 Transportation Tips It takes about 4 hours to drive from Chengdu. You can book the scenic area tickets (60 RMB) and sightseeing bus tickets in advance on Trip.com. It’s recommended to set off early to enter right when the park opens at 8 AM, as the lighting is best for photos! 👗 Outfit Suggestions Be sure to bring a down jacket + windproof coat! The mountain has big temperature differences and strong winds. I was still freezing and stomping my feet even in a thick down jacket 😂 Hats, scarves, and gloves are a must to prevent wind headaches and keep your mood up～ 📸 Must-Visit Photo Spots Shuangqiao Valley is definitely a photo paradise! Here are some stunning spots: 1️⃣ Redwood Forest Walking Trail (colorful forest + snowy mountain background) 2️⃣ By Zhugana Lake (you can capture the snowy mountain reflections) 3️⃣ Budala Peak Viewing Platform (360° panoramic snowy mountain views) ✨ My Secret Experience Hiking from the Redwood Forest to Zhugana Lake is amazing! The 1.5-hour downhill trail offers a visual feast of colorful forests, streams, and snowy mountains. Remember to bring a thermos with hot water so you can sit at the viewing platform, sip a hot drink, and enjoy the scenery～ ⚠️ Important Notes 1. The park stops admitting visitors at 3 PM, so plan your time well 2. Non-slip shoes! Non-slip shoes! Non-slip shoes! (Important enough to say three times) 3. UV rays are very strong, don’t forget sunscreen + sunglasses 4. Bring some chocolate or other high-calorie snacks to replenish energy 🍲 Food Recommendations After descending, be sure to try Tibetan hot pot! I recommend "Are Tibetan Restaurant" in Siguniangshan Town. The yak meat is super tender, and paired with butter tea, it’s both heartwarming and stomach-warming～
