First, characteristic tourism

Mainly refers to mountaineering, hiking, crossing and camping.

The peaks that Siguniang Mountain can climb are: Big Peak, Second Peak, Third Peak and Fourth Peak, with the elevation of 5355 meters, 5454 meters and 5664 meters in turn. 6250 meters.

As long as you have the courage, ordinary tourists can climb this great mountain. In this respect, especially foreign tourists, old people aged 60-70 have the experience of climbing big peaks, and even disabled people in Korea have climbed big peaks. Strictly speaking, climbing the big peak is not a mountain climbing, but a mountain climbing, which is not difficult and dangerous. Tourists go to Dafeng to climb mountains, which are basically successful.

In recent years, many enthusiasts began to climb the second peak. It is not difficult to climb the second peak as long as there is a professional guide.

Relatively speaking, there are fewer people climbing the Three Peaks, mainly semi-professionals with good mountaineering experience will climb the Three Peaks. At present, few people can climb the main peak of Siguniang Mountain. First, the high altitude, great weather changes and dangerous climbing routes all hindered the impact on the four peaks. Non-professionals who climb the Four Peaks should not try. Every Golden Week, many tourists go to Siguniang Mountain to climb the mountain, so if you want to try climbing, you might as well come to Siguniang Mountain to see me.

The characteristic tourism of Siguniang Mountain also includes hiking, crossing and ice climbing. At present, the more mature route is mainly from Changpinggu in Siguniang Mountain to Bipenggou in Lixian County. You can only ride or walk all the way, and you need to camp in the mountains for one night. Although non-professionals can live, it is very hard and dangerous. It is best to travel in groups of three or five, and you need good guides and backpackers.

Second, regular tourism.

Regular travel is relatively simple, but many people don't know how to arrange their own itinerary. Here is a brief introduction:

Generally speaking, the tour of Siguniang Mountain mainly refers to the three gullies of Siguniang Mountain: Changping Valley, Shuangqiaogou and Haizigou.

The development of Changpinggu is earlier and more mature. It is mainly composed of forests, canyons and snow-capped mountains at the top of the canyons. The scenery is good, but the scenic spot is only for horses and people to walk and not open to traffic, so cycling is its main feature. Tourists generally prefer Changpinggu, mainly because visiting Changpinggu is different from ordinary tourism and more participatory. Imagine how pleasant it is for tourists to ride horses, cross the Changpinggu Gorge, cross virgin forests, cross various streams and climb snow-capped mountains. For 6-7 hours, if they want, they can camp on the grass in Changpinggu with tents on their backs.

When visiting Changping Valley, tourists have more choices. They can choose how far to visit according to their physical strength and hobbies. Changping Valley has a total length of 29 axioms, but ordinary tourists can choose to visit 10 to 16 axioms, so the riding expenses are different. It takes 100 yuan to ride a horse from Lamaism to Erdaoping, Xiaganhaizi and Lianghekou 50 yuan.

If you walk in Changpinggu, you can start from Yonghe Palace and walk to the dead tree beach. All the way is a plank road, which is easy to walk, but if you want to go on, the road is terrible and you can hardly walk, so you can only ride a horse. Dream Tour receives a large number of tourists every year, and most of them choose Changping Valley.

In addition, many people worry that they can't ride a horse, or riding a horse is very dangerous. In fact, the horses in Siguniang Mountain are very docile, can hardly run, and are used to carrying tourists for a long time, which is very orderly. Besides, if they are afraid, even children are hardly in danger.

Siguniang Mountain is located at the axiom of Changping Valley 16. Of course, the farther you go, the more beautiful the scenery, but the more expensive the riding fee, the longer the time.

Changpinggu is 29 kilometers long and covers an area of about 100 square kilometers. The canyon is very long, gentle and long, and Siguniang Mountain is located in the ditch 16 km. Only some sections of the ditch can be opened to traffic, and most of the rest can only walk or ride horses. After crossing Changpinggu, you can go straight to the foot of Siguniang Mountain, or you can bypass Siguniang Mountain and cross the border to Lixian County via Bipenggou.
