Aba Prefecture, Sichuan - Siguniang Mountain, the Alps of the East

#2月好地方2025

In Aba Prefecture of Sichuan, there are four peaks covered with snow all year round, like four pretty girls with white veils on their heads. This is the "Siguniang Mountain", known as the Eastern Alps. The scenic area consists of four snow-capped mountains and three valleys. The scenery is magnificent and beautiful.

There are three tourist routes in Siguniang Mountain, following three gullies. Each gully sells a separate ticket. They are: Shuangqiaogou (an ecological route for leisurely walks), Changpinggou (primeval forests and ancient trails), and Haizigou (alpine lakes and lakes).

✓Haizigou Trail
Located on the east side of the Three Gorges, it is the entrance for outdoor enthusiasts to climb the peak of Mount Siguniang. It is also the only gorge without sightseeing buses. The entire round trip is about 30 kilometers. This is the largest lake in the Siguniang Mountain Scenic Area. There is a green meadow beside the lake. It is very pleasant to sit down and look at the blue sky and white clouds.

✓Changpinggou Trail
Located on the west side of Haizigou, it is about 29 kilometers from the mouth to the end of the gully. It has beautiful scenery and is also an ideal place for rock climbing and ice climbing. You can take a sightseeing bus for the first 7 kilometers to the Lama Temple, then hike to the Lianghekou Glacier and Red Stone Beach, and then return. Or you can continue deeper into the Shuidaba Meadow to enjoy the sea of ​​flowers all over the mountains.

✓Shuangqiaogou Trail
Located on the west side of the Siguniang Mountain Scenic Area, it requires a car to get there. It is named after the two wooden bridges in the ditch. Shuangqiaogou is about 34 kilometers long, but there is a road in the gully that can be traveled the entire way, so it is actually the easiest to travel. First take the sightseeing bus to the innermost attraction, then stop at various stations along the way and return to the main entrance. You don’t need to walk a long way to each attraction.

The best season to visit Mount Siguniang is autumn when the maple leaves turn red. The snow-capped mountains and the yellow maple trees dye the majestic mountains and forests into an intoxicating golden red, which is truly a stunning sight on earth.
