Colorful Changping Valley

When planning my trip, I hesitated for a long time about whether to visit Mount Siguniang. Since the railway wasn't yet well developed, the one-way drive from Chengdu to Mount Siguniang took about three hours, so I opted for a day trip, round trip.
Mount Siguniang reaches a peak of 3,840 meters, making it prone to altitude sickness. Snorkels are available for purchase at shops within the scenic area, so I recommend buying one.
There's only one route to the scenic area, starting with a 40-minute sightseeing bus ride from the entrance to the highest point, Hongbinlin. Snow-capped mountains can be seen in October, and upon arrival, I felt completely overwhelmed by the journey; it truly was a truly remarkable sight.
Mount Siguniang is much less crowded than Jiuzhaigou, and waits for the sightseeing bus are relatively short, making it a relaxing and perfect place for a short escape.
