I have traveled from afar to meet you at the Four Girls Mountain

This is not Switzerland🇨🇭, this is the Four Girls Mountain🏔️ in Western Sichuan, a rival to Switzerland's beauty, a place I long to visit every season🤩 Snow-capped mountains🏔️, fir forests🌲, canyons, streams🌊, and wildflowers💐 everywhere Each visit feels like stepping into a summer of Miyazaki's making✨ Capturing the beauty in photos is more than enough📷 🌤️Weather: Check the weather in Xiaojin County before departure, it's usually accurate👍. Even if it's cloudy on the way, once you cross the mountains, it's a different scene with the sun shining brightly🌞, so just wear something easy to take off🧥 💰About tickets: • Shuangqiao Valley: Ticket 80 RMB/person, sightseeing bus 70 RMB/person🚌 • Changping Valley: Ticket 70 RMB/person, sightseeing bus 20 RMB/person🚎 • Haizi Valley: Ticket 60 RMB/person • Rafting: 80 RMB/person ‼Note: Tickets must be booked one day in advance🎫 ⏰Scenic area opening hours: 7:00-17:00 🚗Transportation guide: • Self-driving: About four hours' drive from Chengdu🚗 • Bus: There are buses from Chadianzi Bus Station to Four Girls Mountain every morning (💰90), and from Xinnanmen Bus Station to Four Girls Mountain (💰127), choose the convenient station🚍 ❗Note: When approaching the destination, the driver will ask if anyone wants to get off, so don't worry about missing your stop. You can ask the driver for a number when getting off, and contact them directly for the return trip📱 ✅Travel tips: • ⛅Enter the scenic area early in the morning, the light is stable, and it's better for photography📸 • 🚌First take the sightseeing bus for 45min straight to the last stop, the Red Fir Forest, then play your way down from station to station🚶 • ✨It's recommended to sit on the right side of the sightseeing bus for the best views🖼️ 🎉【Key spots to visit】 • Red Fir Forest: The last stop of the sightseeing bus, quite crowded, no need to stay too long🚏 • Zhugana Lake: The sightseeing bus doesn't stop here, but it's super beautiful😍. Get off at the Budala Peak station, walk a few hundred meters towards the mountain top, and you'll find it when you see a metal path🛤️ • Budala Peak: A great spot for road trip photos, worth walking down the road for a bit🛣️ • Siguniang Lake: With a lake and dead tree branches, perfect for capturing reflections of the snow mountains🤳 • Nianyu Dam: A key checkpoint with a large lawn and rafting, walk down the rafting path to the exit, it's beautiful all the way, more than a kilometer long🚣 • Ginseng Fruit Flat: The last stop of the sightseeing bus, with lawns and bridges, a photogenic spot, worth visiting if time allows🚶 ⚠️Considerate advice: • The weather in the highlands is unpredictable, remember to check the weather forecast before leaving, I think the Four Girls Mountain is the most beautiful on a sunny day🌤️! If it snows or rains, be prepared with a raincoat🌂! For those who are self-driving, remember to equip your car with anti-skid chains🚗! • Bring a thermos and prepare more bottled water, the water quality in highland areas is poor🚰, drinking too much is not good for your health🤢 • Oxygen bottles are not a waste of money❗ They can help relieve symptoms when you experience mild altitude sickness! Prepare oxygen bottles in Chengdu and bring them with you🧂 • Prepare some snacks, bread, and other food🥪, there's only food for sale at the Red Fir Forest spot in the mountains🍔 ⚠️When traveling, please respect local customs and pay attention to safety❗
