Accommodation recommendation

For example, the Four Seasons Hidden Stay at Siguniang Mountain Yueshan, with a sunken courtyard, can enjoy the panoramic view of Siguniang Mountain without any obstruction.

&bull; Barley Cake: Unique taste, with a strong barley aroma.

Precautions

&bull; In the plateau area, ultraviolet rays are strong, pay attention to sun protection and altitude sickness prevention, and avoid strenuous exercise.

&bull; The weather in western Sichuan is changeable, so bring a raincoat with you. It is easy to encounter sunny days when you enter the ditch at 10 o&#39;clock.

&bull; If you choose to ride a horse, you must clarify the route and duration to avoid price increases in the middle of the journey.
The best time to travel to Siguniang Mountain varies depending on personal preference. Here are the characteristics of different seasons:

&bull; Spring (March-May): The temperature rises, everything revives, and the mountain flowers are in full bloom. It is a good time to see wild flowers. The mountain streams are gurgling, and the air is fresh and pleasant. But the weather in spring is changeable, and you may encounter rain and snow.

&bull; Summer (June-August): It is the peak tourist season in Siguniang Mountain. At this time, the mountains and forests are lush and the climate is cool. It is a good place to escape the heat and the best time to photograph alpine meadows and wildlife. From mid-June to the end of August, the temperature is suitable, the scenery is beautiful, and flowers are blooming all over the mountains, which is suitable for hiking and camping. However, there is more rain in summer, so you need to plan your itinerary and book accommodation in advance.

&bull; Autumn (September-November): From mid-September to the end of October, the weather is clear and the view is wide. As the temperature drops, the mountains become colorful, the mountains are full of red leaves, and the forests are dyed. It is the golden period for photography. But the temperature difference between morning and evening is large, so you must bring enough warm clothes.

&bull; Winter (December-February): Mount Siguniang is covered with snow, like a fairy tale world. It is a good choice for tourists who like skiing and snow adventures. However, the roads may be closed due to snow accumulation in winter, and the weather conditions in the mountains are relatively bad. Non-professionals should be cautious when going there. #四姑娘山攻略 #四姑娘山也太美了吧

If you come to Shuangqiaogou for a visit, you must not miss this internet-famous coffee shop. The coffee in the coffee shop is not expensive, the price is about 20 to 30. Order a cup of coffee here and take a lazy break during the journey. There are large glass windows on all sides and the roof, and you can enjoy the beautiful snow-capped mountain scenery. It is very pleasant.
There is a large platform outside the coffee shop, and there are high-powered telescopes on the platform to enjoy the scenery of Shuangqiaogou Snow Mountain! When the weather is good, big white clouds float in the sky.
Blue sky, white clouds, snow-capped mountains... Holding warm and fragrant coffee in your hand, breathing the fresh air in the mountains, how comfortable! I think this will be the trip that everyone wants! #咖啡旅行 #旅行照片不示脸 #值返票好去地方

The boss is nice and welcoming. The price is similar to the ones next door.

酒店干净，客用品棉织品都不错，早餐品种也多。服务周到，对于景区附近酒店值得推荐。
