Gulgou Hot Spring Guide

Bipenggou, where I want to go, is quite far away from Chengdu, more than 200 kilometers away. If you are driving by yourself, the road conditions along the way are not bad. It basically consists of highways, kilometers around mountains and a short section of relatively bad mountain roads. It takes 4 hours to drive from Chengdu. There is also only one hotel in the scenic area, so you need to consider the accommodation in advance.

Guergou Hot Spring Guide

Transportation:

It is more than 200 kilometers away from Chengdu. It is recommended to drive there by yourself or charter a car. The whole journey takes about 4 hours. If you are driving by yourself, it is best to go during the day. If you are driving, you also need to pay attention to the return rush hour. At night, the high beams are really dazzling. There are quite a few curves along the way.

Accommodation:

If you are in Bipenggou, there will be 2 to 3 relatively high-end hotels there, and the other hotel accommodations are farmhouse-type. There is a hotel in the scenic area, but it costs about 400 yuan/night.

Guergou Hot Spring

The hot spring is 20 kilometers away from Bipenggou. Gurgou is a town! It's not a scenic spot, but the hot springs there are really famous. A better choice for hot spring bathing is at the local Ramada Hot Springs Resort Hotel, where the infinity pool is really popular.

On the way, you can also stop by Dujiangyan, Taoping Qiang Village, Fuyun Ranch, and Quanqishan Ski Resort

Tips for cold protection:

Go to Gurgou It should be mostly winter when you go to hot springs. Then you need to pay attention to the issue of cold protection. It will be several degrees colder there than other places. At this time, the warm baby really comes in handy!

Scenic Area Guide

It is best to buy your tickets in advance at night and do not go on weekends. There are really all kinds of queues there.

Bipenggou Scenic Area is not allowed to enter the scenic area at three o'clock in the afternoon in winter!

As soon as you enter the scenic spot, you will take a bus and take you to the mountainside. This section of the journey is quite far. There are two small sightseeing buses available for the next two sections. Each section costs 20 yuan/person for one way and 30 yuan/person for round trip. Facts have proved that it is necessary to spend money on this sightseeing bus.

Climbing mountains at high altitudes is really tiring. The highest altitude is about 4,000 meters. Most people don’t suffer from altitude sickness, and no one really carries oxygen bottles along the way.

Every service station in the scenic area sells food. I only remember that instant noodles cost 15 yuan and hot and sour noodles cost 20 yuan.
