Niubei Mountain

As a 360° viewing platform that was sanctified by hikers and National Geographic 10 years ago, Niubei Mountain has never lacked topics of discussion. After more than six years of development since its closure in 2015, it is now possible to drive directly to the mountaintop camp, making it very friendly for the average person. The local government has put great effort into making improvements in terms of convenience, safety, and comfort, which inevitably leads to increased costs: the price of admission, shuttle service, and accommodation have all increased significantly compared to before, earning it the playful nickname 'Expensive Bull Mountain.' Personally, I think the costs are reasonable, as safety is something money can't easily buy. ⛰【Travel Tips】 📍Detailed Address: Jianzheng Village, Niubei Mountain Town, Yingjing County, Ya'an City, Sichuan Province 🚗Transportation Strategy: Self-driving/Join a tour group 🕙Opening Hours: 7:30-17:00 💰Ticket Price: 160 RMB per person, plus shuttle service fee 🌟Highlights: Snow-capped mountains, sea of clouds, starry sky 📌Little Tips: Pay attention to keeping warm and be aware of altitude sickness

Western Sichuan is beautiful in all four seasons, It's a mysterious and very healing place. Western Sichuan is not far away, you can just go on a whim. The Scarecrow Travel took me to three encounters with three snow mountains, I savored a feast of snow mountains among the clouds in Western Sichuan. 🏔️【Mount Siguniang, Yala Snow Mountain】 These two famous snow mountains in the Tibetan area fulfilled all my fantasies about Western Sichuan. Here, snow mountains, grasslands, lakes, and seas of cattle and horses form beautiful and spectacular paintings. The sight of them is unforgettable. Not only are they high in altitude, but their scenery is no less stunning than other snow mountains, especially when paired with Tagong Grassland and the sunset, the view is even more beautiful. ❷Besides the beautiful scenery, what's unforgettable is the story shared by a local Tibetan youth, Jiumei. He talked about his entrepreneurial experience: building libraries, guesthouses, and trying various methods to find a way out on the Tibetan Plateau. From his story and words, I felt his deep love for this land. The well-designed sharing session gave me a profound understanding and feeling for the Tibetan people and their culture. 🏔️【Mount Gongga】 It's extremely difficult to reach Niubei Mountain due to its high altitude, requiring at least four bus changes, switching to six taxis, then to an Iveco, and finally to the hotel's off-road shuttle. Fortunately, the Scarecrow Travel arranged everything, otherwise, I can't imagine how I would have gotten up here alone. When the weather is good, you can see the full view of Mount Gongga, with clouds, sunset, starry sky, sunrise. Watching the clouds surge at that moment, I felt that all the hardships along the way were worth it. The hotel I stayed at on Niubei Mountain offers a 360-degree view, and I had a steaming yak soup pot, which was warming both to the stomach and heart. 🔥【Travel Tips】 ❶The temperature difference between morning and evening in Western Sichuan is large, so bring warm clothes. ❷Drink plenty of hot water, prepare some high-calorie food in advance, and bring some medicine for altitude sickness. ❸The UV rays are strong during the day, so be sure to protect yourself from the sun. 🌞【5-Day Itinerary in Western Sichuan】 ✔️Day1: From various places to Chengdu → Check-in ✔️Day2: Chengdu → Maobinliang Viewing Platform → Mount Siguniang Shuangqiao Valley → Stay in Xiaojin ✔️Day3: Xiaojin → Yala Snow Mountain Viewing Platform → Moshigong Park → Muya Temple → Tagong Grassland → Stay in Xinduqiao ✔️Day4: Xinduqiao → Zheduo Mountain → Kangding → Luding → Niubei Mountain ✔️Day5: Sunrise at Niubei Mountain → Return to Chengdu Tips: This trip to Western Sichuan brought me a lot of gains. I didn't expect the Scarecrow Travel's snow mountain pilgrimage group to give me so many surprises. Not only did they show me the beauty of the snow mountains, but the guide also took us to Jiumu Temple, saw the unique Mani stone piles, and the first encounter with female lamas was really wonderful. We all listened together to the Tibetan people's faith and attitude towards money. At the top of the mountain, we experienced meditation in a retreat cave and felt the flow of energy. Jiumei said that only the Scarecrow Travel group can come here, others do not know the profound story hidden in Jiumu Temple. It turns out that Western Sichuan has not only landscapes but also a rich cultural atmosphere and local culture.
