Itineray D1:Chengdu to Rilong Starting from Chengdu, it takes 6 hours to reach Rilong , a small town 270km west, a springboard of Sigunian Shan tour. Not a long journey but it let you nap easily. When the bus crosses Balang Shan, weather permitted, you will see the grand and beautiful snow-capped mountain, blue sky and "Clouds Sea". Ion the way to Rilong, do tour to visit the famous panda bears reserve - Wolong panda reserve center D2: Rilong -> Changpinggou Entrance -> Lama Temple -> Lianghekou-> Muluozi-> Chazigou Entrance Lying at the foot of FOUR MAIDS MOUNTAIN, with streams flowing through, CHANGPINGGOU is less than 3600m above sea level, with a full length of 36km, which takes approximately 11-12 hours. From Rilong, the canyon is even and long, FOUR MAIDS MOUNTAIN is on the 16km in the canyon. Crossing the cypress way, the road is bumpy. Old cypress pass, LAMA temple, Ganhaizi and the stretches of ancient roads are in the attractions on route. A 5km bumpy trail leads you from Changpinggou to LAMA Temple, 3400m above sea level on a plat bank. Erdaoping is a good place to have a panorama of FOUR MAIDS MOUNTAIN. After that, the road is uphill to Haizigou, there is a small grocery where you can take a rest and regain food and necessary stuff. Lianghekou is located in the depth of Changpinggou. Far in the west, a strange-shaped snow-capped mountain of which the slope is between 70-80 degrees is standing there. Local residents call it THE PEAK OF GOD MOUNTAINS. After Lianghekou, you are approaching Muluozi (3000m), the road gradually narrows down to a planked footway. Walking through swamps and woods, you will reach to Chazigou (3800m) the end of Changpinggou. Camping in Chazigou. D3: Chazigoukou(3800m)-> Yakou(4644m)-> Dapingtai(Big Platform, 4200m)-> Bipenggou Back Entrance Setting off early along a small path of almost 70 degrees near a waterfall in CHAZIKOU, with no more than 300m of plumb ascending, walking through Firry Woodland, you reach to a Yakou (narrow mountain pass), 4644m above sea level,straddling the borderline of Xiaojin and Lixian (two counties in Ganze of Sichuan). Crossing over Yakou is difficult and dangerous. For the deep snow accumulating on the way, being accompanied by an experienced guide is a must. The way down the mountain is even harsher. Pls do not take vertical descending in case you get into a snowdrift. (If encounter bad weather while you are crossing over Yakou, you may camp on a huge plat rock somewhere on the mountain.) On the downhill, at about 4200m, there is a sidestep-like area and an even terrace 10m lower. Right there the snow slope becomes sharply into 70 degrees, from where you can see Bipenggou clearly. Walking downhill along a zigzag line,the lower the altitude, the moister the snow is. Each step accompanies with snow up to knees. Rounding over a bluff, down a descent, you will get to the end of Bipenggou Resort. It takes around 7~8 hours due to the harsh road. Bipenggou is a U-shaped gully with high abrupt and cragged cliffs on its two sides. Camping for the night. D4-6: Bipenggou -> 303 Forestry Center Bipenggou Resort covers an area of 180sqkm, with virgin forests, springs, streams, waterfalls and snowy peaks. In short distance, the colorful trees is a natural pallette indeed; afar, the solidly concretionary glaciers are shiny. It takes 2~3 days to traverse the valley, camping for overnight. Trekking on the plat bottom of the valley, besides the colours, you also see the glistering waterfalls, translucent lakes by the road. Cross the forests and pass the broken bridge, down Zagunao River and pass through Miyaluo to 303 Forestry Center, where you will be picked up by our pre-arranged transfer service and transported to Taopinqiangzhai village for overnight D7: Taopinqiangzhai to Dujiangyan to Chengdu Leave Taopinqiangzhai for Chengdu, at Dujiangyan, do tour to visit the famous Dujiangyan water project (listed in the protections of UNESCO) Information: 1.
