[2025 Xiaojin Attraction] Travel Guide for Siguniang Mountain Two Peaks (Updated Oct)

#Outdoor Activities 5276 meters above sea level, the second peak of Siguniang Mountain is the first snow mountain I conquered with my own legs, because I have never climbed a mountain with an altitude of 4000 meters, I had to stop after walking two or three steps. The guide kept encouraging me, and every small step contributed to a big step. The Slope of Despair is called the Slope of Despair because it has at least 40-60 degrees of slope and there is no end in sight. After the Slope of Despair, I arrived at the pass at an altitude of 5100. The road slope is 70 degrees less than 200 meters away from the top of the mountain. It took me 45 minutes to walk. Life is difficult. Climbing a snow mountain of 5276 meters is not because of how good my physical strength is. It is not so much that I conquered it, but that I used my willpower to make this snow mountain recognize me. I no longer had the energy to take pictures. I had already avoided walking more than 20 kilometers by riding back and forth. I set out to reach the summit from the base camp at two in the morning, and finally returned to Renhe, Siguniang Mountain at four in the afternoon. I am still deeply touched when I was able to locate the second peak of Mount Siguniang. Sometimes you have to experience it yourself to appreciate it. For a three-day and two-night snow mountain trip costing more than 4,000 yuan, I only lamented the insignificance of human beings, but human potential is unlimited. #mountain climbing #climbing snowy mountains #top of snowy mountain #walking until tired

If you’re looking for an adventure but something doable if you’re fit, Siguniang second peak is the place to be for you. The hike takes around 3 days but I’d recommend spending an extra day or 2 in Siguniang town just to try acclimatize better. How to get there: From Chengdu, Sichuan take a bus or a car to Siguniang town. From there you can find a guide to take you up the mountain.

Live: Mount Siguniang on the 27th was stunningly beautiful. It snowed again at Mount Siguniang today! Golden fir forests, snow-covered cabins, majestic snow-capped mountains, and lakes. The combination of autumn and snow is simply unbeatable. It's so beautiful it doesn't seem real! Hop on a sightseeing bus and take in all the beautiful scenery along the way. We recommend starting from the redwood forest at an altitude of 3,800 meters and working your way down. The Budala Peak, Zhugana Lake, Nianyuba, and Ginseng Fruit Flat are all worth seeing. We highly recommend adding them to your bucket list! Mount Siguniang Shuangqiaogou Scenic Area You can drive from Chengdu or Chongqing, or take a direct bus from Chengdu to the scenic area.

| Siguniang Mountain Second Peak Guide! !!! First, don't believe anyone who says you can climb just by having legs! Don't be fooled by dy! Make sure you exercise regularly! If you can't climb anymore, requesting a rescue will cost 80,000! The rescue fees will be exorbitant. The choice of club and fees vary greatly. For example, the famous Walking in the Clouds requires registration three miles in advance in the mountains, so I chose the Stepping Club. The experience was excellent. The leader and guide were young, humorous, and responsible. Almost everyone who participated in the summit attempt reached the summit. My goal was to reach the summit, so I didn't compare camp meals and accommodations (if you care about these, I recommend comparing multiple clubs). Since the two-peak ratio has changed to 1:1, the cost of equipment has increased to over 2,000. The club provides trekking poles, shoe chains, and a water tarp, but you have to prepare all other equipment yourself! All the necessary climbing gear can be rented in town, but it's a bit pricey and not really worth it. I recommend buying a lot of gear online. It's fully equipped and reasonably priced. Regarding medications, I brought montmorillonite powder and ibuprofen, but I didn't use them. Ibuprofen is not recommended for personal use in the plateau. For meals, bring plenty of high-calorie options, such as protein bars and energy gels, or buy some rice balls at the Chengdu Lawson 7-Eleven. Try to stock up on Coke before entering the scenic area, as it's 12 yuan a bottle. Drink plenty of hot water. Also, remember to bring two buckets of instant noodles! Breakfast on the first day and lunch on the third day aren't included, and instant noodles cost 15 yuan a bucket! Day 0: Arriving in Chengdu from all over the country Day 1: Depart from Chengdu and arrive in Siguniang Mountain Town (3,200 meters above sea level) in the afternoon. Check in, sign a life and death agreement, and purchase various rental items. No showering or washing your hair before bed. Keep the windows open a crack. If you have trouble sleeping, bring earplugs and an eye mask. You never know who your roommate is, so don't ask me how I know! Day 2: After breakfast at 8:30, we headed to the scenic area to complete formalities. Prepare your ID cards in advance. The responsible guide will collect them and return them to you upon descent to prevent them from being lost. After entering the scenic area, there's a long staircase and plank path leading to Zhaijieping. Some hikers choose to ride horses, while others hike on foot. Riding has its pros and cons. The advantage is that it saves energy, but the disadvantage is that the intensity of the summit push can be overwhelming and lead to an early descent. If you're confident you can reach the summit, I recommend hiking to base camp. As a frequent marathon runner, I hiked up and down, since the 500-meter climb and 500-meter descent are equally challenging. The 17-kilometer climb involves an elevation gain of 1,100 meters, with 80% of the climb being gentle. The restroom is about halfway up, where you can eat. Arriving at camp will be cold and windy, so immediately add layers and try to stay active to minimize altitude sickness. Wearing a wicking layer under your sleeping bag will provide insulation. If the weather is good, you can sleep without altitude sickness. Otherwise, you'll have to wait a night before reaching the summit. Day 3: Wake up at 3:30 AM for breakfast, then don headlamps and crampons and set off. The climb is 7 kilometers and 700 meters. The terrain is steep and the terrain is poor. After a warm-up slope, a gravel slope, and a despair slope, we reach the pass. We must reach the pass before 7:00 AM to reach the summit. The slope is steep and covered with ice. Sunrise around 7:00 AM is the best time to reach the summit. Then we queue up to check in (there's an old stone tablet next to the check-in point, but there's no line). The ascent is easy, but the descent is difficult, so it's important to conserve some energy. After reaching Base Camp, we hike down. Return to the hotel and return to Chengdu. #Siguniangshan Big Peak #Siguniangshan Travel Guide My First Snow Mountain This is my first snow mountain climb. For those who enjoy sports, it's not stressful, but if you live at a lower altitude, you might experience some altitude sickness. Just take your time. Don't worry, the guide will be responsible and will follow you closely! They won't rush you. If they do, you can complain directly! Just persevere.

Siguniang Mountain Scenic Area is located in Siguniang Mountain Town, Xiaojin County, Aba Tibetan and Qiang Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan Province. It consists of four peaks of Yan Girl Mountain (Sister Mountain), Saniangshan Mountain, Eriangshan Mountain and Damiang Mountain. Covered by snow. The difficulty of climbing is decreasing in turn, the big peak is the simplest, the sister is the most difficult, but the altitude is above 5000 meters. Siguniang Mountain 2 Peak belongs to the entry-level snow mountain. It starts from Haizigou in Siguniang Mountain and goes to the second peak. The whole journey is about 28 kilometers. There is a supply point for the tip pack along the way, although the technical requirements are not high, but the distance is longer. There are high requirements for physical fitness. Mountaining needs to pay attention to safety, but also need to pay attention to keep warm and beware of altitude sickness. Everything takes life as a priority, don't be forced!
