Day 1 of four sister mountain 四姑娘山





















I was picked up by a passenger car at 6 am for a group departure time 7 am. It was raining in Chengdu yet dry in 四姑娘山. We had a group lunch then visited Shuangqiaogou 雙橋溝attractions: The ditch is 35 kilometers long. The sightseeing bus took us directly to the highest point in about 45 minutes, and then we took the sightseeing bus to tour down one stop at a time. 

1. At the highest point of the redwood forest, I hiked along the plank road and through the redwood forest with the snow-capped mountains as the background.

In between 1 and 2, I saw Two girls got off the bus at an anomalous spot, so I backed tracked from spot 2 for 1 km to find out what was going on.  It turned out to be Zhuganacuo: A small secret place with few people and two snow-capped mountains, the best spot of all and at least 10 times better than other spots. I tried to tell as many tourists as possible on my way out so they could see it as well. 

2. Potala Peak, a 360° snow mountain viewing point, suitable for shooting road movies.

3. Sigu Nacuo (elevation 3588 meters), a must-visit

There is a boardwalk that can go around the lake, which takes 10-30 minutes. When the weather is good like today, the reflection of snow-capped mountains and dead trees made good photos. 

4. Huyuba (elevation 3500 meters) I walked on the boardwalk to enjoy the scenery of the plateau meadows, while viewing others rafting in the stream. 

5. Longzhucuo (elevation 3490 meters) has the same lake view as Sigunacuo, but the shape of the dead trees here is more unique.

6. Ginseng Fruit Ping (elevation 3300 meters) This is the last stop of Shuangqiaogou Tour, with its 


outstanding wooden bridges and curved trees. 

Today’s weather was perfect, although the peaks of the four sisters were covered in clouds.
