A long time ago, I heard about Xiaojin, saying that this place is very beautiful. It is a Tibetan town in Aba, Sichuan. A place with amazing scenery and humanities, it is worth every photographer to come and collect.
Depart from Chengdu, pass through Dujiangyan, go to Wenchuan Yingxiu Expressway, follow Provincial Highway 303 to Wolong, turn over Balang Mountain, and arrive at Siguniang Mountain, and about 50 kilometers ahead is Xiaojin County, which takes about 5 and a half hours by car.

Red Tourism in Xiaojin County
According to the information, Xiaojin is a red tourism county, and there are red cultural resources represented by "four mountains, four bridges, and four ruins" in the county.
Four mountains: Jiajin Mountain, Mengbi Mountain, Hongqiao Mountain and Balang Mountain.
Four Bridges: Dawei Bridge where the Red Army and the Fourth Army joined forces; Menggu Bridge, Ma'an Bridge and Sanguan Bridge where the Red Army fought fiercely with the hostile forces of the Kuomintang.
Four ruins: Dawei Lama Temple, Catholic Church in Meixing Township, Old Street in Liangtai Village, Fubian Township, and the ruins of the "Lianghekou Political Bureau Meeting".
Some of the attractions here can be visited, some are under maintenance, and our time is limited, so the following points are arranged in the itinerary:
Sanguan Bridge, Maogong Reunion Monument, Catholic Church (the former site of Maogong Fun Club), Menggu Bridge, and the site of the "Lianghekou Political Bureau Meeting".
When I woke up, the sky was clear and the blue sky stretched as far as the eye could see, as clear and clear as the dust had been washed away. Seeing such a sky, I felt instantly better. The hotel we stayed in last night was found when we arrived temporarily. The name of the hotel is impressive. It is called Days Business Hotel. Of course, the price and hardware and software facilities must be quite different, but the room is very spacious and bright, and the level of decoration is also competent. The price is 160 yuan, and there is a parking space and a parking garage at the door, which is also very good, and it is convenient for friends who drive by themselves.
At first I didn't know how to get to Sanguan Bridge, so I asked a local elder sister. The elder sister was very enthusiastic and took us to the intersection in person, telling us to go down this road, which is Sanguan Bridge. Thank you very much for this enthusiastic elder sister. It can be seen from this that the people of Xiaojin County are very friendly, kind, and helpful. Such a tourist atmosphere and environment make tourists feel very comfortable and have a sense of belonging and identity.
Sanguan Bridge is located in the southwest of Xiaojin County, across Xiaojinchuan.
The bridge was a wooden bridge in the Qing Dynasty, and was rebuilt into an iron cable bridge in the 12th year of the Republic of China (1923). It is composed of 11 iron chains (the iron rings are all 0.26 meters), 7 horizontally supporting the bridge deck, and the left and right 4 are guardrails. The bridge is 48 meters long and 1.8 meters wide, and the bridge deck is paved with thick wooden boards. It still bears the important task of people coming and going on both sides of the strait. Sanguan Bridge is located at an important point. After the Red Army's first and fourth front armies joined forces in 1935, they fought fierce battles with the Kuomintang defenders here in order to advance westward to Kangba Tibetan area and Jinchuan County. The bridgehead is full of bullet marks. It is still discernible.
There are bridgeheads at the bridgeheads on both sides of the bank. The bridgehead on the south bank is a classical pavilion-style stone-wood structure building with three-story double eaves on a large Xieshan-style roof and small green tiles on it. It is 2.35 meters wide and 2.4 meters high. There are stone plaques embedded on it, which are four characters of "Yuyao Xianguan" in Xingkai. The bridgehead on the north bank faces the wide river in front, and is backed by towering rocks. The four characters "Lingyan Suojiang" are cursive calligraphy. There is a stone scroll arch window on both sides of the front door, and a stone scroll arch on each side. It is 3 meters high and 2 meters wide. There is a stone plaque embedded on the top, and the word "key" in regular script is engraved on it. There is a door on the east side, 2.45 meters high and 1.11 meters wide.
Because this bridge is still a traffic bridge connecting local residents, so there are many pedestrians passing by. I met two very hospitable aunts, and with the consent, they were our models with a smile.
One photo is required. The aunt also told us that if we pass by the bridge, we can go uphill from the other end to the Maogong Monument Square in Xiaojin County without turning back. So we followed the aunt's advice and went up another road.
I met a warm and honest Tibetan grandma again, and I got permission to take a photo. The grandma smiled happily. Although the grandmother's Chinese is not very fluent, a smile is always the best bridge of friendship between strangers.
There are many old houses along the way, and the old local residents are also very enthusiastic, telling us that these old houses basically have a history of more than 100 years, but they will fade out of the long river of history in the near future.
Going up 500 meters from the winding path, you will find the beautiful streets of Xiaojin County. There are both Tibetan-style buildings and modern-style buildings on both sides. Together with the blue sky and white clouds, the colors are bright and joyful, plus the weather It is cool and dry, making people feel very comfortable. It is really a summer resort.
The best way to ask the way is to ask the locals. These two Tibetan grandmothers are very enthusiastic to tell us how to get to the Maogong Monument Square. Where to go, I like the simple smiles of the two aunts.
From the street at the exit of Sanguan Bridge to the Maogong Monument Square, it takes about ten minutes to walk. You can take a taxi along the way, but walking is the most intuitive way to visit and understand the local area. We usually travel to a new place. When safety is ensured, most of them like to hike in the local area.
Xiaojin County, formerly known as "Maogong County", is the place where the First and Fourth Front Armies joined forces, also known as "Maogong Meeting", which is a very important historical event in the Long March of the Red Army, and Xiaojin County is a very important node in the Long March.
In 1935, the Red Army marched through Xiaojin County, Sichuan. Under the leadership of the older generation of proletarian revolutionaries, they crossed the first snow mountain on the Long March—Jiajin Mountain; The above-mentioned cadres participated in the "Fun Gathering" and held an enlarged meeting of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China in Lianghekou (now known as Lianghe Township), which is of great historical significance and has far-reaching influence in the future and even today.
The ruins of the "Conglehui", the Catholic Church in the east of Government Street, Meixing Town, was organized and built by French missionary She Lianai in the 8th year of the Republic of China (1919). The whole building adopts a Chinese-style structure with a Western-style appearance. During the Red Army's Long March, relevant meetings were held here. It is still possible to keep it at present, and it is also listed as one of Sichuan's red cultural resources.
There are offices and residences of the Red Army, as well as some used items, and the former Catholic Church is now a museum in Xiaojin County, which introduces the history of the Red Army in Xiaojin County, the rapid development of Xiaojin County, as well as some tourist attractions and Souvenirs, etc.
After visiting the site of the Maogong Tongle Club, we drove to the Menggu Bridge about 10 kilometers outside the urban area. Menggu Bridge is a landmark scenic spot integrating red culture, Tibetan culture and religious culture. It is located next to Provincial Highway 303, 7 kilometers away from Xiaojin County. Menggu Bridge, which is the collective name of the two iron cable bridges Menggu Bridge and Ma'an Bridge, is formed by the connection of two iron cable bridges.
Menggu Bridge is the collective name of two iron cable bridges, Menggu Bridge and Ma'an Bridge. The iron cable bridge is built between the cliffs and spans over the rapids. The battleground. In the twelfth year of Emperor Qianlong's campaign against Jinchuan, this place was one of the main roads for marching. Laoying Township was also named because Qing soldiers were stationed at that time. In 1935, the Chinese Red Army of Workers and Peasants also fought fiercely with the enemy in this land during the Long March, smashing the strict blockade of the defenders. It seems that Menggu Bridge is not very good, but under the conditions at that time, the importance of Menggu Bridge should not be underestimated.
Xiaojin County, a well-deserved red cultural revolution resort; a typical settlement area inhabited by Tibetan, Qiang, Hui, Han and other ethnic groups. Xiaojin County in the mountains, I was quite touched by the hardships and difficulties at that time.

Food and lodging strategy in Xiaojin County
Because it is a self-driving car, the first element of choice is to have a parking place. We arrived in Xiaojin County at night, and found a hotel with convenient parking and a big name on the side of the road: Days Business Hotel. The environment is okay and clean Refreshing, spacious and bright, it is more in line with the price of 160 yuan. When we entered the county, there were more than a dozen such business hotels. We walked to the city center for dinner. If we live outside the city, it should be cheaper.
For dinner in Xiaojin County, I strongly recommend Chen Erwa’s night hoof flower in the vegetable market. The hoof flower soup is delicious and rich. Beans are very fragrant and firm, and their barbecue is also delicious. The dishes are very fresh, the taste is very comfortable, and the price is not bad. The hoof flower is 35 a piece, the barbecue meat dish is 4 yuan a bunch, and the vegetarian dish is 2 yuan a bunch. The most important thing is that the boss, Chen Erwa, is very talkative. We asked him a lot about Xiaojin's travel, and he answered them all clearly. He also told us some precautions. He was very enthusiastic.
This Tiantianlai beef noodle restaurant is diagonally opposite the Days Business Hotel. It was originally on the way and packed two beef rice bowls. One is fried beef breast twice-cooked pork. The fat and thin taste is very good. One is stir-fried shredded beef with green peppers. It is fried with soy sauce. The green peppers are very cooked, very tasty, and so delicious. And the price is moderate, two beef rice bowls are 28 yuan.
Lianghekou Meeting Site
Lianghekou, located in Lianghe Township at the northernmost tip of Xiaojin County in western Sichuan, is called Lianghekou because it is located at the confluence of Fubian River and Hongqiaogou. After the first and fourth front armies of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army met, the famous Lianghekou meeting in history was held here. The Lianghekou meeting was the first enlarged meeting of the Politburo held by the Party Central Committee after the first and fourth front armies of the Red Army joined forces.
The site of the Lianghekou Conference was originally the Guandi Temple dedicated to Guan Yu, the "Han Shouting Hou". From June 26 to 28, 1935, the Party Central Committee held a Politburo (enlarged) meeting here, which was second only to the Zunyi meeting in the history of the Long March of the Red Army of Chinese Workers and Peasants. In 1980, the Sichuan Provincial People's Government identified the site as a provincial cultural relic protection unit.
On June 24, 1935, Mao Zedong, Zhou Enlai, Zhu De, Zhang Wentian, Wang Jiaxiang and other central leaders arrived at Lianghekou. On the 25th, Zhang Guotao, head of the Fourth Front Army of the Red Army, accompanied by more than 30 guards, crossed Hongqiao Mountain from Lifan (now Li County) and arrived at Lianghekou. From the 26th to the 27th, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China held an enlarged meeting of the Politburo in the Guandi Temple in Lianghekou. Attending the meeting were 16 people including Zhang Wentian, Mao Zedong, Zhu De, Zhou Enlai, Zhang Guotao, Liu Bocheng, Wang Jiaxiang, Qin Bangxian, Liu Shaoqi, He Kequan, Deng Fa, Lin Biao, Peng Dehuai, Nie Rongzhen, Lin Boqu, and Li Fuchun. The meeting was presided over by Zhang Wentian and focused on discussing the strategic policy of the Red Army. On behalf of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the Central Revolutionary Military Commission, Zhou Enlai made the "Report on the Current Strategic Policy". After full discussion, the meeting rejected Zhang Guotao's erroneous claims and agreed with Zhou Enlai's strategic policy of "going north to establish the Sichuan-Shanxi-Gansu Revolutionary Base". On the 28th, the Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China issued the "Decision on the Strategic Policy after the First and Fourth Armies Joined", which clearly pointed out that the strategic policy after the two armies joined forces was to concentrate their main force on the northward attack, first to obtain the southern part of Gansu, and to create the Sichuan-Shanxi-Gansu soviet area. On the 29th, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China continued to hold a meeting of the Politburo Standing Committee in Lianghekou. The meeting studied the strategic situation and organizational issues. The meeting decided to add Zhang Guotao as the vice chairman of the Central Revolutionary Military Commission, and Xu Xiangqian and Chen Changhao as members of the Central Revolutionary Military Commission.
The main building has been destroyed, and now only the rear stables remain. When we went, the Lianghekou Museum had basically been established, and some construction work was still going on.
Behind the museum is the Red Army Statue Memorial Park, which contains the statues of the leaders of the Red Army at that time, as well as many poems of the Red Army.
In the Lianghekou Meeting Memorial Hall, there is a tall statue of Mao Zedong with a firm gaze against the green hills. The "Lianghekou Politburo Meeting" laid the foundation for the Central Committee's strategic policy of going north, and at the same time opened the prelude to the struggle against Zhang Guotao's right-leaning line.
After visiting the meeting site of Lianghekou, we went to Rilong Town in Xiaojin. We passed Fubian and Qiangzhai along the way, and saw a rare rainbow. It's a pity that the Qiang Village is under repair. We went to have a look, but failed to enter.
Tickets for Lianghekou Conference Site Scenic Spot: None
There is also Majiagou in Lianghekou, but due to time constraints, we gave up.
Rilong Town with rich Tibetan style
Rilong Town is also called Siguniangshan Town, because it is very close to Shuangqiaogou and Changpinggou. If you want to visit these two places, it is convenient to live here. Although it is summer, other cities are so hot that they are smoky, but Xiaojin Rilong Town is very cool, even a little cold. There are tourists on the street wearing thin down. The weather is so comfortable.
We started from Lianghekou and drove to Rilong Town by ourselves. The distance is not far, only 2 and a half hours away. Today's Rilong Town is well established. The streets are lined with hotels and restaurants, outdoor goods stores and supermarkets, as well as barbecue and entertainment places, such as KTV and the like.
We still looked for a hotel when we arrived at the destination, and saw a hotel called "Toast Resort Hotel". There was a big parking dam at the door.
That night we ate Chuan Chuan Xiang in the restaurant downstairs of his house. Chuan Chuan Xiang is also a supporting restaurant of the hotel. The chef we hired is from Chengdu, and the taste is not bad. I told the chef to focus on spicy food, and the taste of the bottom of the pot is still the same. , The portion of skewered dishes is also good, but there is a 30 yuan pot fee, which is a bit different from our Chongqing. The general hot pot and skewers in Chongqing do not have a pot fee, and the taste is still good.
After dinner, I went out for a stroll. It is very lively at night. Almost every restaurant can be seen crowded with people, such as barbecue, hot pot, and guessing games. What's more, a bonfire was lit at the entrance of a Tibetan-style restaurant. The beautiful Tibetan waiters in the restaurant led a small group of guests to sing and dance beside the bonfire. On the contrary, the altitude here is about 4,000, but it is really cool, and it can be called a summer resort.
There is also this morning's fat intestine powder and fat intestine noodles, Bashideban, super delicious and super delicious. The fat sausage is a unique method in Chengdu. The white stewed fat sausage is torn cleanly without any oil on it, and the taste is really good. Sprinkle some coriander on it. Don’t mention it, it’s very fragrant!
I don’t know if it’s because Xiaojin’s pigs are good here. It’s because of the food they feed. Anyway, the pork hoof, flower and fat sausages here are delicious, and the price is cheap and the portion is large. It’s about ten yuan a bowl, which is so refreshing.
The bridge of the cat's nose shrouded in fairy mist
Another advantage of living in Rilong Town is that you can drive to the bridge of the cat nose, and you can watch the sunrise and sunset of Mount Siguniang. It is said that the bridge of the cat nose is the best place to watch it. After we arrived in Rilong Town and settled down, under the guidance of local Tibetans, we drove a few kilometers up the mountain to Maobi Bridge. Fortunately, the sunset time had not yet arrived, so we waited here with other tourists for the sunset of Mount Siguniang .
Mount Siguniang, legend has it that four peaks were formed by four beautiful fairies. These four fairies originally lived in heaven, but one day when they flew over Xiaojin, they were attracted by this beautiful land, so they stayed. After coming down, it was a great pleasure to play in the mountains every day, but one day a monster came and wanted to occupy the mountain as king and enslave the people. The four fairies couldn't bear the suffering of the people, so they turned into four mountain peaks to suppress the monster. , The four girls exchanged their lives for peace, so people called the four peaks here "Siguniang Mountain" in memory of them.
These four peaks are covered with snow all the year round, like four tall, dignified and stable girls, guarding the land of the western Sichuan plateau. Because the altitude is second only to Gongga Mountain, which is known as the "King of Shu Mountain", it is nicknamed "Queen of Shu Mountain".
Siguniang Mountain The mountain range is mainly composed of four consecutive peaks from north to south, distributed in a straight line, three of which are above 5,000 meters above sea level, and one of which is above 6,000 meters above sea level. The highest peak, Yaomei Peak, is 6,250 meters. It is also the most holy mountain in the eyes of Chinese and foreign mountaineering enthusiasts.
It was still early, and we flew to DJI to see the beauty here from the perspective of God.
Siguniang Mountain is indeed beautiful and charming. Its steep mountain body pierces the blue sky, covered with ice and snow, and shines with silver light. In the foothills nearby, there are dense forests, green grass, and endless clear streams. No wonder some people call it "Oriental Mountain". the Alps".
The blue sky and white clouds are full of greenery, blowing the cool mountain breeze and breathing the fresh air. It is really very pleasant. Unfortunately, until the sunset, Yaomei Peak was shy and covered her face with a cloud veil. Did not let us see her beautiful beauty.
After sunset, we were reluctant to leave, and wanted to see if the sunset glow after sunset was equally beautiful. When the sun had completely set, the clouds began to change, from golden yellow to orange red, and then to gorgeous purple. The gorgeous and eye-catching color made people intoxicated, and it was worth waiting so long for us.
And early the next morning, before sunrise, we drove to Maobi Bridge again.
At first, Siguniang Mountain was still covered by a cloud, we were a little disappointed, and worried that we would still not be able to see the whole picture of Siguniang Mountain, but whether we could see it all depended on luck, and it all depended on whether the four fairies were happy or not. Let’s take a look at the DJI drone first.
Flying high, the natural vision is different. Watching the morning sun rise slowly and slantingly shine on the meadow in front of Siguniang Mountain, and further forward, you can get a glimpse of the whole picture of Rilong Town, the valley Rilong Town in Rilong Town, leaning against the green hills on one side and the river on the other side, stretches along the road to both sides, coupled with the light clouds and mist in the distance, and the gentle sunshine, it is like a beautiful and tender picture.
Perhaps because of the thick clouds, the sunrise did not allow everyone to see it as they wished, but it allowed us to see another kind of beauty.
Because of the large temperature difference between morning and evening, there was fog in Mount Siguniang, and the misty clouds looked like the neon clothes of the four fairies, like the light white tulle on their bodies, like a dream, like an illusion, like a poem, like a painting, and couldn’t be waved away. , can't be pulled apart, can't be cut continuously, blocking the sight of tourists, making people feel like they are flying on the clouds and want to return.
The clouds and mist that shroud the mountain are like white velvet hats worn on the top of the mountain; the clouds and mist that wrap around the mountain are like jade belts tied around the mountainside. Clouds and mist cover the valley, it is a vast sea; clouds and mist cover the mountain, it is a huge sky.
The morning fog in Mount Siguniang is a beautiful fog. It seems that four fairies gently shook a strand of Sujuan, which attracted tourists obsessed. This kind of beauty is simply indescribable. I don't know whether it is the morning fog that supports the four peaks, or the four peaks retain the morning fog. In short, the mountains and forests are inseparable. Walking in the morning mist, everything is pleasing to the eye and intoxicating. It is really a scene surrounded by fairy mist, so beautiful!
The beautiful Changping Valley
First come a group of Changpinggou aerial photography.
After watching the sunrise on the bridge of Maobi in the morning, we rushed to Changpinggou. Unfortunately, the weather was not so good. At first, it was covered by thick clouds and there was no bright sunshine. But none of them stopped us from pursuing beauty, because they say that Changping Valley is the most beautiful valley in Siguniang Mountain, and it is also the least developed one.
Let's take a group photo.
Changpinggou, the site of the ancient battlefield, one of the three valleys and one mountain of Siguniang Mountain. Changping Valley has a total length of 29 kilometers and an area of about 100 square kilometers. The canyon is long and gentle, and Siguniang Mountain is located 16 kilometers away in the valley. Only some road sections in the ditch can be opened to traffic, and most of the other road sections can only be walked or rode. After passing through Changpinggou, it can go directly to the foot of Siguniang Mountain, and it can also bypass Siguniang Mountain and pass through Bipenggou to Li County.
The plank roads along the way are all newly replaced wooden boards, which are strong and firm. The green cypresses and green pines on both sides are lush and green, the waterfalls and springs are rushing in the dense forest, and the ancient post roads shuttle and extend in the vast forest.
In the scenic area, there are ancient cypress paths, Lama Temple, Ganhaizi and waterfalls with a height of tens of meters, as well as the scenery of strange rocks. In spring, mountain flowers and rape blossoms bloom together; in summer, streams and mountain peaks shine together; in autumn, red birches and red maples compete in beauty; in winter, it is covered with snow and covered with silver.
Yu Changpinggou’s suggestion:
1. If you have normal foot strength, you should go to the end of the pedestrian plank road and turn back. It takes at least 6 or 7 hours to go back and forth for filming. If you want to go higher or have poor foot strength, it is recommended to ride a horse because it is such a long walk. The time is still very hard.
2. Generally, there is only one beverage and food outlet within the range of foot power. It is at the first waterfall. You can supply some water and food, but there are not many varieties. It is recommended to bring some by yourself. Further on, there is a canteen in the base camp.
3. There are pavilions and toilets for resting along the way, so don’t worry about this, but take your rain gear, it often rains inside.
If you are on foot, there is a pedestrian plank road, and if you are riding a horse, you will take a horse path. There is a fast-flowing small river from the beginning to the end of Changping Valley, and the pedestrian plank road and horse path go up the mountain along this small river.
We walked to the end of the plank road and walked about a kilometer inside, which is the base camp. Generally, people who want to continue walking and crossing will go here to take a break, or directly camp here for cooking. There is a small shop in the base camp, where you can rest and replenish food. Of course, the price is much higher. Instant noodles cost 12 yuan, self-heating rice noodles cost 25 yuan, various drinks cost 10 yuan a bottle, and mineral water is the cheapest at 5 yuan. . But I personally think that the price is really not expensive. After all, it takes several hours to carry it by manpower, and the journey takes several hours.
The boss is a generous and talkative Tibetan guy. He has opened this store for several years. He said that the off-peak and peak seasons are very distinct here. The price will increase, and it is still the price written on the blackboard, a good guy.
Siguniang Mountain [Changpinggou] ticket + sightseeing ticket: 90 yuan
Opening hours are 08:00-15:30 throughout the year; admission is closed at 15:00.
The majestic Shuangqiaogou
Let's take a group of aerial shots.
Shuangqiaogou got its name from the two wooden bridges in the valley. The ditch is mainly dominated by snow peaks, pastures, grasslands, forests, etc. It is the most beautiful ditch in Siguniang Mountain. Walking in the ditch, you can experience the real pastoral scenery.
The main scenic spots in Shuangqiaogou include Yinyang Valley, Hunter Peak, Sun and Moon Mirror and Five Colors Mountain. The beautiful ditch has a total length of 34.8 kilometers and an area of about 216.6 square kilometers.
At present, the scenic area is divided into three sections, more than 20 scenic spots have been developed, and more than a dozen snow-capped mountains with an altitude of more than 4,000 meters can be seen.
After going to Changpinggou, we must also go to Shuangqiaogou, because the two valleys are very close. Shuangqiaogou can be visited all the way by car, so half a day is enough.
The entrance of Shuangqiaogou is the ticket hall, which is the building on the picture. There are many people at the gate who will stop the self-driving car and ask you to park in the parking area designated by him. They will also say that the parking lot in the scenic spot is full. Don't believe it at this time, you must park the car in the designated area of the scenic spot Regular parking lot. It's not that the parking lot designated by those people at the door will charge more, but after you park your car, a series of things will happen later.
These people should be local residents, and they will tell you enthusiastically, don’t buy tickets in the ticket hall of the scenic spot, it’s too expensive, it’s not worth it, just let them bring tourists into the scenic spot, only need to charge 80-100 yuan per person , cheap and good quality is very cheap. They will also boast about themselves, saying that they are villagers in the scenic spot. When they bring people into the scenic spot, they are relatives and friends, and the staff guarding the gate of the scenic spot are all their acquaintances. In this case, they will let them go. But don't believe the nonsense of these people, you must buy tickets in the regular ticket hall, or buy tickets online, and, if you have any hesitation, they will pester you for a while, so you must leave these people quickly , because these so-called green light channels are all fake.
I also deliberately asked the staff of the scenic spot, and all the answers I got were categorical: don’t be greedy for petty gains, you must buy tickets to enter the scenic spot according to the formal procedures, there is no green channel to go, and the most soliciting people outside are to take tourists away. Bring those farmhouses in front of the gate of the scenic spot. The place where we usually get on the scenic spot car is not the real gate of the scenic spot, and we have to travel about ten kilometers to get there.
The total length of Shuangqiaogou is 34.8 kilometers, and the round trip is about 70 kilometers, so you must take a scenic car to visit, otherwise you can walk by foot, and it is estimated that it will take more than a week to go back and forth. The scenic spot car will drive all the way to the innermost scenic spot, which is the mangrove forest. Start to visit the mangrove forest, and then take the car to the next scenic spot. The scenic spot car will depart on a rolling basis, with an average of 10-20 minutes.
This mangrove forest is surrounded by snow-capped mountains in the distance. There is a blue sky and white clouds in the sky, and there are streams and lakes below. You have to marvel at the uncanny craftsmanship of nature. And there are many mountain product sales stalls here, selling a variety of varieties, but not necessarily the real local mountain products, I bought a catty of black fungus, took it home after soaking it, and smelled it, there is obvious sulfur fumigation The taste, I am very puzzled, logically speaking, the weather in Shuangqiaogou is dry and the sun is strong, it should not be difficult to dry it directly, why bother to smoke it again with sulfur? Could it be that these mountain products are products from the outside market, which came here and were said to be sold here? Unknown. However, the taste of black fungus is really good, with that natural fungus aroma, but not thick enough.
The second scenic spot is the Potala Peak, which resembles the Potala Palace. Hey, not to mention, it really looks like the Potala Palace. I have to agree with the creator's genius. The summer climate has not yet made the large forests and grasslands under the Potala Peak glow golden in autumn. As far as the eye can see, there is still a lush greenery. The emerald green color extends from the mountain to my feet, densely packed with fir forests , swaying in the breeze, like an old man who has experienced years of wind and frost, softly telling the story of Potala Peak.
With such a beautiful scenery, you must take a photo together and punch in a photo.
The third scenic spot is Dahaizi. Haizi is a lake in the eyes of Tibetans. The locals say that this piece of Dahaizi is the bathing pool of the four girls. Walking around the lake, you will find the sparkling water of Haizi, with dead trees standing in Haizi. It feels like A number of ballet dancers are dancing on the dance floor, the breeze is blowing, and the water waves are rippling, just like a famous painting by a master, but you are swimming in it.
The fourth scenic spot, the ginseng orchard, the trickling stream, is flowing, as if the blood of the fourth girl nourishes all things in the ditch. This poetic clear stream cleanses your soul to your heart's content, and the whole person becomes extremely relaxed , Instantly regained the strength to return to reality.
In fact, Siguniang Mountain is a paradise for hikers except for Shuangqiaogou. The recommended time is sufficient and the shallow tour of the three valleys will take about four days. Girls Mountain is expected to take four to five days, so hurry up and experience it while there are not many people.
Siguniang Mountain [Shuangqiaogou] ticket + sightseeing ticket adult ticket: 150 yuan
Opening hours: April 1-November 30, 07:30-16:00; December 1-March 31 of the following year, 08:00-15:30.
