Four girls mountain is famous for it's mountain climbing, there are 3 valleys in siguniang town, for normally people they chose to hike the Shuangqiao valley or Changping valley, it's take 4-5 hour hike enough in the park, not so difficult, case there is wooden path in the park, you can see some lakes snow mountain, you just spend one day in the park is enough., but if you like climbing, i recommend you chose Haizi vally and with local tour hiking to mountain, there are three options for mountain, frist peak second peak and third peak, all mountain are over 5000m , for the first and second peak it's very easy ti climb to the top, but for third peak it's hard. so if you have the chance to climb to the top, you can see totally different view. pretty petty pretty amazing!

The Yading Natural Reserve is exquisite and humbling and out-of-this-world beautiful - and the most exhausting thing I have ever done! ! ! Remember, it's 15,000 feet above sea level - I took high altitude pills and carried oxygen (in a blue pillow, obtained in Yading, from the Hospital), and I still was totally exhausted - and exhilarated by what I saw ! The mountain peaks, the glacial lakes, the waterfalls, the prayer flags, the thousand other people who were either crying or gasping for breath, or taking selfies, made it an unforgettable experience! Everyone on the path was going through the same thing, so people were supportive, concerned, friendly, and EAGER to have their picture taken with waiguoren "foreigners"! Prepare yourself for this visit - it can be a killer - but, by golly, it is AWESOME !!!

A scenic mountain area houses important Buddhist temples.
Reviewed By MattwalesNorthWales - Chengdu, China
A must see place if you are in this part of the world. One of the important Buddhist Mountains in China. If, unlike me you love walking uphill you can climb this on foot but it will take about 4 days. I settled for a full day trip. Wrap up warm in winter as the top will be a lot colder than the bottom. You can buy a combined ticket for 160¥ which will take you from Emeishan railway station up the mountain. The journey is not for those, weak of stomach as the road snakes up the mountain, contains a lot of chicanes, and the drivers don't hang around. There is a pee stop half way and the bus may stop to add snow chains to the wheels in winter. Once at the top bus station you have to walk for about 2km through the monkey reserve to get the cable car which will whizz you right to the summit. At the summit you may be rewarded with a spectacular view as well as a variety of temples, shops and restaurants to explore. You can stay in a hotel at the top so that you can see the sunrise, but its not cheap. Please note the last cable car is at 5.30 and the last bus home is at 6pm. Great day trip

A natural scenic area and a holy mountain of Taoism.
Reviewed By jonascn - Singapore, Singapore
Mount Qingcheng is a short distance away from Dujianyan. There is an excitement in the desire to reach the highest peak when climbing the mountain. However the steps up the mountain is quite steep, especially the last 30 minutes and can be slippery during winter. There are porters to help you up the mountain at a cost (though one does sympathise the porters who are in their 50s too). There is also a photo taking service a the top of the mountain which a beautiful temple, especially during winter due to the thick clouds. The air is filled with the smoke from the joss sticks. There is a certain level of accomplishment amid the achy legs when you reach the top. Hence, this is well recommended for travellers looking for adventure. However, the main drawback of the area is the hidden costs you have to bear with to enjoy a complete experience. The site ticket is 80RMB. To proceed to the mountain, you have to 20 RMB for a 2 way mini bus journey to the river coast, after which you have to pay 10 RMB for a 2 way boat ride to an area closer to the mountain. There is also a 60RMB cable car to proceed to the base of the mountain before walking up. There is a need to factor in these costs when you are planning your trip. It is also difficult to avoid this payment as the journey without is much longer. Do also take note of the different operating hours during winter. It opens 8.30am to 5.30pm from May to October, and 9am to 5pm from November to April. Overall, if you can get over the hidden costs and the physical requirements, this is well worth the trip.
