Mt Siguniang (Four Sisters Mountain)

6,250m peak in western Sichuan, the 'Eastern Alps'. Trekking and climbing in the foothills; harder summit attempts above.

Mt Siguniang ('Four Sisters Mountain') is a chain of four peaks in the Tibetan-edge mountains 230 km west of Chengdu, the highest at 6,250m. The lower valleys (Shuangqiao Gou, Changping Gou, Haizi Gou) are accessible to ordinary visitors with substantial hiking — multi-day routes are well established. Higher peaks require mountaineering experience. The area is one of the most accessible high-mountain landscapes in China for hikers.
