After breakfast, your driver and guide will pick you up at your hotel in Chengdu downtown. The following journey will be a scenic driving from Chengdu to Mount Siguniang, about 205 kilometers away. To enrich your experience on the way, you’ll pay a visit to Dujiangyan Irrigation System, a 2000 year-old living world heritage and ecological engineering feat. The system is still working to irrigate Chengdu Plain and it’s the real reason why Chengdu is called “the Land of Abundance”. Visit the three main parts of Dujiangyan Irrigation System including Yuzui Bypass Dike, Feishayan Floodgate, Baopingkou Diversion Passage, and be amazed by the wisdom of ancient Chinese.
After the visiting, continue your driving to leave the flat Chengdu Plain and travel onwards and upwards through the sea of clouds of Balang Mountain (altitude: 4,532 meters) where you can also enjoy breathtaking view of the snow-capped Mount Siguniang in distance. After that, you’ll arrive in Siguniangshan Town (altitude: 3,200 meters). Have a good rest and stay overnight in this town.
After breakfast, begin your interesting hiking along Changping Valley, located in the middle of three valleys and being the nearest valley to catch the gorgeous appearance of Mount Siguniang. With 29-kilometer long, Changping Valley is a mature valley designed with sightseeing bus, plank road, hiking trail and horse riding.
Walk several hundred meters from your hotel to the tourist center of Changping Valley, then take a sightseeing bus to Lama Temple (5km), a Tibetan-style monastery which belongs to the Gelug Sect. This is the starting point of your today’s hiking. The following hiking is composed of two parts – hiking on the plank road and hiking from the ending of the plank road to Muluozi. In the first part, you will see solemn monastery, waterfalls, deep valleys, ancient withered trees standing in lakes; and in the second part, you’ll walk through wild forests, follow the walking trails along the clear streams to chase some landscape you have never seen – sea buckthorn forest, red stones arrayed by nature, peaks like camel, mushrooms, pure plateau lakes reflecting the giant peaks, flocks and herds leisurely wandering, snow-capped Four Girls Mountains, magnificent glacier…you will return to Lama Temple after reaching Muluozi. The whole hiking needs about 8 hours. Last, take a sightseeing bus to go out.
Important Travel Tips: 1) The scenic area also provides horse for transferring luggage and riding in case you get tired of walking; 2) You can decide how long you want to hike based on your physical condition at that time; 3) Altitude changing: the altitudes range from 3,200 meters to 3,670 meters along the way. Try to avoid strenuous activity to prevent from possible high altitude sickness. 4) You’d better bring sun cream, sun glasses to protect yourself from strong sunlight; 5) There is no any restaurant in the valley, so you have to bring some food and drinks with you.
Today after breakfast, you are going to take an adventurous hiking to Haizi Valley, the right one of the three valleys. Compared with Changping Valley, Haizi Valley is wilder, more mysterious and primitive. And so far there is no any road constructed for vehicle, which makes it less crowded and the whole scenic area is in good protection. Haizi, in Chinese means lakes and ponds. As its name implies, Haizi Valley has more than 10 beautiful plateau lakes and ponds scattered among wild forests, meadows, flowers, green mountains, giant snow peaks…
Haizi Valley is with a length of 19.2 meters and you’ll hike a part of the valley. Your hiking is composed of two sections. The first half of Haizi Valley hiking features in walking on plateau meadows and having the most magnificent views of Mount Siguniang – dominating snow peaks under clear blue sky, cloud sea, flag clouds… Stop for a while at Chaoshanping which is the best location to photograph Mount Siguniang. The scene will be like – clear blue sky, then snow-capped beautiful Mount Siguniang peaks, green vast meadows in the middle and blooming wild flowers and roaming cattle and sheep in front of your eyes. The second half of Haizi Valley hiking lets you revel in the best photographic works shot by best photographers in the world – lakes which mostly are wide and large, and surrounded by high mountains with diverse sceneries of different colors. The pure water reflects all the scenery clearly in the lake like mirrors… You will stop at Dahaizi Lake and return back to Siguniangshan Town. The whole hiking today takes about 8-9 hours.
Important Travel Tips: 1) Hiking condition: the hiking trail is also the riding track and road is muddy and in poor condition sometimes. 2) Instead of hiking, you can rent a horse at the entrance to transfer luggage and ride to save more energy and time. 3) Altitude Changing: the altitudes range from 3,200 meters to 3,800 meters along the hiking. You’d better avoid strenuous activity to prevent from possible high altitude sickness.
Walk up in the peaceful morning in Siguniangshan Town. After breakfast, you will be transferred back to Chengdu. On route, stop at Maobiliang Ridge (Bridge of Cat’ Nose) which is about 7 kilometers from Siguniangshan Town. Stand at the top best location to enjoy the panorama of Mount Siguniang.
