I have always wanted to go to Western Sichuan. For a homebody, there are usually a hundred travel plans before the holiday. After the holiday, I can’t move my legs on the sofa. This time I decided to go out. , we chose Siguniang Mountain, which is about 3.5 hours away from Chengdu.
The scenery in western Sichuan really lived up to expectations. After the Yingxiu, the scenery under the sun had a clear and transparent feeling that was different from Chengdu, bright and gorgeous.
Arriving at Balang Mountain, as the altitude increases, the snow-capped mountains outside the car window are rolling. As the temperature gets higher, clouds and mist rise from the top of the mountain, making it look like a fairyland.
Take a sightseeing bus into Changpinggou in the afternoon. After getting off the bus, you can only walk or ride a horse on the rest of the way.

The climate of Siguniang Mountain is changeable. It was still drizzling when we got off the bus. When we walked to the entrance of the trail, a small patch of intoxicating clouds appeared in the sky. blue sky.
Changpinggou is mainly an ecological tour, with ancient cypresses and secluded roads, giving it a unique style. Unfortunately, I suffered from mild altitude sickness, headache and chest tightness, and the weather was alternately rainy and sunny, so I had to end my journey to Changpinggou in a hurry.

In the evening, we experienced a sumptuous Jiarong Tibetan meal at the Jiaji Tribe Tibetan Food Bar.
Since everyone was hungry and there were many dishes later, they didn’t bother to take pictures, so they all picked up their chopsticks to taste the delicious food.
The girl Ram at the restaurant bar is very enthusiastic and makes people laugh with her various jokes. During the dinner, Ram, her sister, mother and grandmother sang and danced for us. Amidst the cheers of "Tashi Delek", the physical discomfort gradually faded away.
As night falls and sleepiness sets in, I return to the hotel early to rest.
I woke up early the next morning, and after a night of rest and adjustment, I felt full of energy.
After breakfast, we went to Shuangqiaogou scenic spot. There are sightseeing buses throughout Shuangqiaogou. The sightseeing buses will first take you to the end of the ditch inside, and then go back from the end point to visit various scenic spots. There are You can get on and off the sightseeing bus at any time.
On the way to the destination, the sun slowly broke through the clouds and fog, and the snow-capped mountains beside the road appeared and disappeared, attracting cheers from the tourists on the bus.
When we arrived at the final destination, the Redwood Forest Glacier Scenic Spot, the sun was already shining. I was originally worried that the scenery would not be good on a cloudy day, but at this moment I was secretly happy: I am so lucky!
Take the bus back and visit various attractions.

There is a section where you can raft, but the amount of water is not particularly large. If you don’t want to go rafting, you can also walk along the trail and enjoy the beautiful scenery of the large meadow.

Since I have to rush back to Chengdu, I don’t dare to stay for a long time at the scenic spots behind, so I can only pass by in a hurry. In general, the scenery of Shuangqiaogou is much more beautiful than that of Changpinggou, which makes people forget to leave. If you have the chance, you will definitely come back to enjoy it.
Finally, let’s take a picture of the snow-capped mountains we saw on the way back, so beautiful!
