The Swiss of China

🎈One must visit the Four Girls Mountain in Western Sichuan in summer😍! With snow-capped mountains🏔️, meadows, lakes, and cattle and sheep, it's truly the Swiss of Western Sichuan🏔! Flipping through last year's photo album📒, every picture is so stunning it leaves one speechless‼️ The pictures were taken in October, and the grass had already turned yellow. If you're planning a summer visit, I recommend going in June when the grass is green and the snow on the mountains is plentiful, fulfilling all your summer fantasies🍃! 🏔The Four Girls Mountain is divided into three scenic areas: Shuangqiao Valley, Changping Valley, and Haizi Valley. ✔Shuangqiao Valley is the most well-equipped scenic spot, where you can take a sightseeing bus throughout the journey. ✔The other two scenic spots require hiking, and if you're worried about altitude sickness, we didn't attempt those. If it's your first time in Western Sichuan, visiting Shuangqiao Valley is already enough. 📍| Four Girls Mountain·Shuangqiao Valley Scenic Area 🎫| 150r/person (including sightseeing bus) 🚗| About 4h drive/chartered car from Chengdu 🚌| Take the bus from Chengdu Chadianzi Bus Station to Xiaojin County 🍀| People from Zhejiang are exempt from the entrance fee, only needing to pay 70 for the sightseeing bus ticket. Additionally, it's recommended to stay overnight in Four Girls Mountain town and enter the scenic area early the next day for a visit. 🏔Recommended travel route: Redwood Forest-Zhagana Lake-Buddha Peak-Four Girls Lake-Nianyu Dam-Renshiguo Meadow-Exit ✔Take the sightseeing bus to the last stop, then hike from top to bottom, and you can take the bus at any roadside stop as well. 📸Photo check-in spots: 1⃣Zhagana Lake The most stunning photo spot in the entire area, with beautiful lake reflections. Most photos are taken here. However, the bus doesn't stop at this spot; you need to get off at Buddha Peak and walk back about 1 kilometer. It's truly worth it. 2⃣Buddha Peak The end of the winding road is the snow mountain, super suitable for taking epic road shots. 3⃣Four Girls Lake Lake + dry tree branches + snow mountain, there are quite a few tourists, so it's recommended to take the bus directly to the next stop. 4⃣Nianyu Dam You can go rafting here, 90/person, and float directly to the next stop. The current is very gentle, offering a completely different scenery from hiking. 5⃣Renshiguo Meadow Streams, meadows, snow mountains, and herds of cattle and sheep, but there are also quite a few tourists. 🍃Travel tips: ❶For hiking, it's recommended to walk on the side plank roads for a more forest-immersed atmosphere. ❷The UV rays are strong, and the temperature difference is significant, remember to bring a warm coat + take sun protection measures. ❸Avoid strenuous exercise to prevent altitude sickness.
