Chengdu Four Girls Mountain two-day group tour real evaluation
After work, I joined a group tour to Four Girls Mountain to cleanse my eyes. We chose to form our own group, which consisted of friends and colleagues, a total of 10 people. For individual travel, you can choose a larger group, which is cheaper and also allows you to make new friends.
📆 Itinerary:
Four Girls Mountain is about a 4-hour drive one way, and the road conditions are fairly good. We set off at 8 o'clock in the morning, and it was a sunny day all the way, with nice scenery along the way, which also made for a good mood. A colleague had some last-minute work on the day and drove over after getting off work in the afternoon. The temperature dropped at night, and black ice appeared, so self-driving friends must be careful.
【Pros and Cons of Joining a Group】:
1⃣ Cheaper, the independent group costs about 700 yuan per person, while the larger group costs just over 300 yuan, including transportation, accommodation, entrance tickets, and meals, which is quite recommended for group tours.
2⃣ No need to drive yourself, you can sleep in the car, listen to music, enjoy the scenery, and chat without getting tired.
3⃣ Dining: The Tibetan meal at noon on the first day was barely satisfactory, but the dinner and the meals on the second day were well arranged.
4⃣ Accommodation was chosen as luxury business accommodation, with floor heating and relatively clean. Accommodations in Western Sichuan are similar, so don't have too high expectations.
5⃣ There were no shopping stops throughout the trip, and on the way back, we specifically asked to stop to buy beef and beef jerky.
🗓 Itinerary:

⛰【Attraction Guide】
Four Girls Mountain scenic area is mainly divided into three valleys: Shuangqiao Valley, Changping Valley, and Haizi Valley.
Shuangqiao Valley is 35 kilometers long and is the most developed of the three valleys. It offers the richest scenery in winter, allowing you to see the most beautiful views with the least walking. The sightseeing bus will take you non-stop from the starting point to the end, where you get off at the Red Fir Forest station at an altitude of 3840 meters. Friends who suffer from altitude sickness should bring oxygen bottles or take Rhodiola in advance. This spot has a circular trail that allows you to directly see the summit of Four Girls Mountain, and after viewing, you can go down the mountain. There are a total of 7 stations, one of which is for rafting, which is not open in winter, so we didn't get off.
Four Girls Mountain Changping Valley scenic area is 29 kilometers long. The guides say the further you go, the better it looks, but in winter it's all withered trees and leaves, and some hard ice. If you go after visiting Shuangqiao Valley, you will feel a big drop (personal opinion), and we didn't walk far before turning back to go eat.
There is another valley called Haizi Valley, which is said to be undeveloped and requires hiking the entire way. I didn't go, so I won't comment.
The scenery of the snow-capped mountains and Shuangqiaogou in Siguniang Mountain is beautiful, but there is no amazing feeling, probably because of the fact that I have been to Xinjiang. I lived in Changpinggou that night. I didn't feel anything when I played during the day. At night, there was a significant high reaction. I had a headache. I almost vomited without appetite. High reverse actually affects the travel experience. The scenery of Shuangqiaogou on the second day was quite rich, and the feeling of being surrounded by the continuous snowy mountains was quite shocking!
Each ditch in Siguniang Mountain has its own characteristics, and it is worth a trip. Changpinggou is especially suitable for a complete day. There are plank roads and horse roads. Each has its own style and beauty from different angles.
After the rain and the weather, I was intoxicated with the ghosts and craftsmanship of nature. The magnificent view of Siguniang Mountain was very clear. Friends from driving before pay attention to the weather and road conditions, and try to avoid driving at night to avoid mudslides.
The Siguniang Mountain Double Hook Bridge, the ticket and the sightseeing bus double ticket only cost 220 yuan, the price is very high, the picturesque scenery is intoxicating, between the green mountains and green valleys, the clear stream reflects the winding snowy mountains, the reflection is picturesque and beautiful, strolling in it seems to be in a fairyland on earth. Every moment is full of tranquility and harmony, the Siguniang Mountain Double Hook Bridge is definitely one of the must-check attractions in the west of Sichuan.
I want to go to Siguniang Mountain during the holiday. When I buy tickets, I can only choose a ditch every time. I asked the owner of the hotel who stayed in. I chose Shuangqiaogou. The ticket plus a sightseeing car 150/person. The car parked in the scenic parking lot. The parking lot was very far away. Parked the car for a long time before arriving at the entrance of the scenic spot. You can queue up for a sightseeing car by swiping your ID card. It takes about 40 minutes to get on the road. There are snow scenes along the way. The mountains and fields on the tree are full of snow. Fortunately, I wear more. I can’t stand it for a while. I brought sunglasses. The speed is relatively fast. There is no time to take pictures along the way. The sightseeing car is directly pulled to the terminal. After playing, you can take the sightseeing car to the mountain. Every time you go to a scenic spot, you will park. After watching, you will queue up to the next attraction. It is a bit high. Walk too fast and breathe a little breath, oxygen can be relieved. Many children played snow along the way, and sent a few ducks.
