Aergou Peak: Adventure on Sichuan’s Misty Heights! 🏔️🌫️
Aergou Peak, tucked away in the stunning mountain landscapes of Wenchuan, offers a breathtaking fusion of high-altitude vistas and untamed valleys—perfect for nature lovers and explorers in search of lesser-known gems!

🧭 Trail Route & Must-Dos
Start your hike from Longxi Township early to beat the crowds and snap that fog-wrapped sunrise shot from the lower viewing platform. The well-marked trail winds upward, unveiling rugged cliffs and lush forests before reaching summit panoramas—the ‘floating clouds’ effect here is pure Insta gold! Don’t miss the wild azalea blooms in late spring, adding pops of color to your photos.

📸 Top Photo Spots
The “snake ridge” section offers dramatic angles against the rolling mist—wide lens recommended! The summit’s stone marker is a must-stand spot for that classic conqueror shot, with layer-upon-layer of peaks spilling into infinity behind you.

🕒 Visiting Tips
Aergou Peak is open 24/7 (year-round), but weather can shift fast—carry layers, plenty of water, and a simple windbreaker. Early mornings reveal the best mountain light, and in summer, plan descent before noon to avoid incoming clouds. Admission is 117 yuan per person; tickets can be purchased at the Longxi Township entrance.

⚠️ Precautions
Trails may be muddy or slick after rainfall so sturdy shoes are essential. Altitude can hit hard if you rush; pace yourself and snack frequently. Watch for changeable weather—rain gear trumps umbrellas!
