Mt. Siguniangshan (Four Maiden's Mountain) Park

The Mt. Siguniangshan Park is an unspoiled wilderness park located in western Sichuan Province, near the town of Rilong in Aba Autonomous Prefecture. Mt. Siguniangshan consists of four adjacent mountain peaks and got its unusual name from a local Tibetan legend that says the four peaks are the embodiments of four pretty girls. At 6,250 meters, (about 20,500 feet) the highest peak of Mt. Siguniangshan is known as "The Little Girl" or "Queen Peak".

Mt. Siguniangshan is famed for its steep and imposing peaks. The high meadows are wonderful throughout all four seasons, and hundreds of wildflowers burst forth in spring, giving way to lush green trees and grass in summer. In the autumn, the leaves on the trees blaze in color, heralding the coming snows of winter. Because of the clear blue sky, the thick forests, the verdant grassland, and the murmuring streams, Siguniangshan is sometimes known as the "Alps of the East". You may even think you are in southern Europe.

It is 220 kilometers (about 136 miles) from Chengdu, and will take you about five or six hours to reach by bus.

Admission fee: 80 yuan
