"Chinese National Geography: 20 Places in China That Must Be Visited in One's Lifetime (1)"

Hello, everyone. I'm kaidousan. Today, I will take you to see one of the 20 places in China that must - be - visited in one's lifetime recommended by "Chinese National Geography": Mount Siguniang in Sichuan.

Mount Siguniang is the highest peak of Qionglai Mountain on the eastern edge of the Hengduan Mountains. Its Tibetan name is Shigularouda, which means "Great Sacred Mountain". It is composed of four peaks with altitudes of 6,247.8 meters, 5,664 meters, 5,454 meters, and 5,355 meters respectively. The main peak is Yaomei Peak, which is 6,247.8 meters high. The four peaks are arranged in a row from north to south, and they are covered with ice and snow all year round, just like four beautiful maidens with white veils on their heads, so the mountain gets its name. It is known as the "Queen of Shu Mountains".

💡Ways to play in the scenic area:
We mainly went to Shuangqiao Valley this time 🌲, because we can take the sightseeing bus throughout the journey 🛻. Besides, since we only had one day to play here, we chose Shuangqiao Valley. Ticket price: 150 yuan per person (including the sightseeing bus).
🎈【Larix potaninii Forest】: It is the terminal stop of the sightseeing bus. There are large areas of larix potaninii forest here, and you can closely observe the snow - capped mountains.

🎈【Potala Peak】: Taking pictures on the road with the snow - capped mountains in the background is really wonderful! ❗

🎈【Nianyu Dam】: You can experience rafting here! However, there were too many people queuing, so we didn't go to play.

🎈【Longzhu Lake】: One of the main scenic spots in Shuangqiao Valley. The lake water is clear, and there are snow - capped mountains and grasslands around it. It's also very nice! We took some pictures here!

🎈【Ginseng Fruit Flat】: There are large areas of meadows and forests here, and there are also a great number of yaks! Just keep taking pictures!

(We didn't visit some scenic spots. First, because we were too tired, and my boyfriend was a bit clumsy.)
