I almost froze to death on Mount Siguniang~
I really don't recommend people who are afraid of the cold to go to western Sichuan in winter
Hehe, I'm a bit of a clickbaiter~
I took advantage of the weekend and went to Changping Gully in Mount Siguniang with my boyfriend🏔️
Self-driving🚗 Departed from Chengdu and arrived in 3.5 hours. If there is no traffic jam, you can stop at Maobi Ridge after passing through Balang Mountain Tunnel to take pictures of Yaomei Peak.

Accommodation🏨
Chose Muyan Snow Resort (Changping Gully Scenic Area Store)
First of all, it opened in 2023. The room facilities are quite complete. The toiletries are disposable. There are floor heating and smart toilets. This time I stayed in a room with a projector. There is a large floor-to-ceiling window where you can see the mountain view across⛰️
🍲Yak meat soup pot, the hotels here basically have their own restaurants. I think the taste is similar, so I ate hot pot in the hotel where I stayed according to the principle of proximity. After all, I have to taste the local food. You can buy a set meal for two on the group purchase. It is more cost-effective. The portion is actually okay. In addition, there are some snacks sold on the side of the road. Roasted potatoes, yak yogurt, bacon sausages, roasted yak skewers, etc. can all be tried. If you are picky about taste, you can bring your own dry food.
Mount Siguniang has an average altitude of about 3800 meters. Friends who are afraid of altitude sickness can prepare some medicine in advance💊Choose one of Rhodiola and Squalene. We checked the guide and chose Squalene, which can improve hypoxia and relieve altitude sickness. In addition, vitamin C, glucose, candy, cola, etc. can also alleviate altitude sickness.
I accidentally found that it's great to take pictures on the sightseeing car! Completely original picture straight out!

Checking in the beautiful scenery of Mount Siguniang
Mount Siguniang, nestled in the embrace of Rilong Town, Xiaojin County, Aba Prefecture, is composed of four peaks that are stacked and overlapping. These four peaks are covered with ice and snow all year round, resembling four beautiful girls with white veils on their heads. They stand shoulder to shoulder above the Changping Gully and Haizi Gully, two streams that look like the Milky Way, hence the name Mount Siguniang. At the Cat's Nose Ridge, which is only a 20-minute drive from Rilong Town, visitors can enjoy the magnificent view of the four connected peaks of Mount Siguniang. This place is definitely a paradise for photography enthusiasts.
The Mount Siguniang scenic area consists of four towering snow peaks and three winding valleys: Shuangqiao Gully, Changping Gully, and Haizi Gully, each of which has a separate admission ticket. To fully experience it, you need at least three days, spending one day in each valley. Of course, if time is limited, Changping Gully and Haizi Gully would be the better choices, as the true face of Mount Siguniang cannot be seen from within Shuangqiao Gully. For those who love outdoor adventures, choosing to hike through and camp in the valley would be an excellent choice, but be sure to comply with the scenic area's regulations for outdoor activities.

Balang Mountain Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Mar)
Hiking from Balang Mountain Pass
If you take the Panda National Road from Chengdu to West-Sichuans Aba, you will cross Balang Mountain Pass. From there, you can easy start a hike to Balang Mountain. There is no fixed way to hike, you can choose whatever way you like.
Great nature, great hike!
🗻 The hike ends on 4500m, which is quite high, so better start slow and stop if you're out of breath. If you're tired, go back to your car. Safety first!

The Top Of Balang Mountain
This year was the year I found a new hobby: Mountain Hiking! And one of my favorite hikes definitely was Balang Mountain in Aba Prefecture, Sichuan Province.
🏔️ The hike is actually not that hard, it's only 3-4km for one way. But: It's on high altitude hight (3900-4500m), so it's not easy to hike. Better start slowly and know your limit... Most important: Enjoy the hike!
📍 From Chengdu it's a 3,5 hour drive to Balang mountain. For navigation, here is the Chinese name: 巴朗山. Parking is available. No entrance ticket necessary.
For 2023 I hope to hike more mountains and I hope all our wishes come true!

Recalling the autumn scenery of Balang Mountain
Balang Mountain, also known as Splendid Mountain, is located between Wolong Nature Reserve and Four Girls Mountain, composed of several peaks over 4500 meters above sea level. The vast sea of clouds floats around the waist of the mountain, and the scenery is magnificent. The winding mountain road during the winding period is the most dangerous section of the eastward journey in Aba Prefecture, and it is also the only way to Xiaojin from the Chengdu Plain. Since the tunnel has been opened, the section of the road crossing the pass of Balang Mountain has been permanently closed in June 2023 and can only be reached on foot.
