Four Sisters Mountain trekking is back, let's talk some real stuff from the heart

Just returned from western Sichuan! The snow mountain trek went smoothly 😃 Forests, snow mountains, meadows, streams, starry skies 🌌, I never thought there would be such a treasure land in China 😎 The overall difficulty is not very high, if you usually exercise, you can basically complete it 😏 To be honest, if you come to Changping Valley for trekking, you must go to Muluozi! The scenery in the first half might be average 😕, but when you reach the Muluozi campsite, it really feels like a little Switzerland in the East 😃 . Summarizing a few frequently asked questions: . 1️⃣ Is it enough to just have legs? The overall difficulty is not high, mainly boardwalks, about 12km per day in Changping Valley, with little elevation gain. But after all, it is a plateau trek, so you should exercise regularly, and if possible, stay one night at Four Sisters Mountain to acclimate to the altitude 😜; . 2️⃣ Will there be altitude sickness? Altitude sickness depends on individual physique. Based on our previous experience, some friends may experience headaches and dizziness when they first arrive at high altitudes, but it usually gets better after a night's rest. The vegetation coverage in western Sichuan is high, and the trekking is arranged gradually to adapt to the plateau 😃 ✨Tip: Eating sweets or drinking cola can effectively relieve it, haha~ 😜 . 3️⃣ I've heard that continuous rain in western Sichuan has caused landslides, can we still go? Western Sichuan is very large, and different areas in the mountains may experience landslides of varying degrees during continuous heavy rain. Currently, the traffic from Danba to Daofu Bamei Town is interrupted, but it does not affect this area 😎 . 4️⃣ Do we need to carry heavy loads? No, just carry a small backpack with the essentials for the trek, and we will arrange for the horse team to carry the other luggage 😃. . 5️⃣ Equipment suggestions? Prepare summer clothes for the city, wear long pants when entering the mountains, and add a jacket. Pack a cotton jacket or a thin down jacket in your suitcase as a backup 😉. . 6️⃣ If I can't walk, can I ride a horse? Yes, there are mature horse teams in the scenic area, costing around 400 - 600. You can negotiate with the horseman, and record the price discussion to prevent price increases later 😁. . 7️⃣ How are the road conditions? The trek is concentrated in Changping Valley, with boardwalks and horse trails, which are considered very good conditions for outdoor activities. There are restrooms at intervals along the way 😃. . 8️⃣ Can you take a shower at Muluozi campsite? No, you can't take a shower, but you can do simple washing. There is a nearby dry toilet 50 meters away, and a standard scenic area tourist toilet 300 meters away 🚾 . 9️⃣ How to arrange 5 days Day 1 - 2 Chengdu - Shuangqiao Valley - Four Sisters Mountain Town Day 3 - 4 Changping Valley - Lama Temple - Muluozi Campsite Day 5 Haizi Valley - Chengdu · 🔟 Highlights + Activities 📍Shuangqiao Valley Take a sightseeing car, light hike + snow mountain rafting, experience 💯 ✔Ginseng Fruit Flat✔Siguna Lake✔Snow Mountain Colorful Forest Rafting 📍Changping Valley Light trekking on the essence section, slow pace 2 days 25km ✔Insect Foot Waterfall✔Dead Tree Beach✔Muluozi Campsite 📍Haizi Valley Excellent viewing point for snow mountain groups, drink coffee facing the snow mountains ✔Horseback walking✔Alpine Rhododendron✔Viewing the four snow mountains at the C position
