Why Changping Valley of Siguniang Mountain
Changpinggou is called the “Holy Land of Rampage” by me. It is also a type where the body goes to hell and the eyes go to heaven, but it is not like climbing on the plateau of Daocheng Aden, but walking to flat feet (more than ten kilometers walk back and forth)… because It’s more tiring, so there are fewer people than Shuangqiaogou who can take the whole journey by car. On the second day of the National Day, the situation in this scenic spot is: there is no queue for tickets, traffic cars do not line up, and the plank road in the scenic spot is often When there is no one, the horses that came up the mountain are so idle that they are dozing off…
In addition to the geographical knowledge that we forgot after reading, we can see the tour value of Changpinggou:
- Value point 1️⃣ Siguniang Mountain can be seen throughout the whole journey, Yaomei Peak has a good perspective;
- Value point 2️⃣ There are snow-capped mountains, streams, and distinctive vegetation forests;
- Value point 3️⃣ It can be crossed to Bipenggou via Changpinggou, and there are good scenery along the way (this kind of long line is more difficult, and a few travellers will consider it).
1️⃣After purchasing the ticket, first take the transportation bus to Mizoguchi, about 10 minutes, then walk a short walk along the road to the Lama Temple, and then start to walk along the plank road, the total length of the plank road is 7 kilometers, after 7 kilometers, you can continue to take the dirt road for sightseeing , There are some tour groups that will cross to Bipenggou.
2️⃣Because the altitude is about 3500, if you have friends who are high or not good at walking, you can choose to ride a horse. There are many horses in the scenic spot, but they are all privately owned and the price is not low.
3️⃣It takes 7-8 hours to walk back and forth. It takes a whole day. Try to get in as early as possible. One is because of the time, and the other is because there are less clouds in the morning, so you can appreciate the snow-capped mountains. There will be more clouds from noon to afternoon, and the peaks may not be visible. .
4️⃣ Bring plenty of water and dry food.
5️⃣Try to choose soft-soled sports shoes.
