2024 Mao County Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in November)

Hike the Himalayas 🏔 4 Hours from Chengdu

🚍Getting There - To get to ##foursistersmountain There are busses that run daily from Chadianzi in Chendgu, but if you organise a tour company to take you up to summit a peak (you can’t do it without a guide) they’ll likely send a private car or bus to pick you up. 🏔 Attractions - In the national park around #四姑娘山 you can hike the several valleys (this tends to be easy and be okay for people of moderate fitness) or try to summit one of the 3 out of 4 mountains visitors are able to climb. We climbed 大峰 in winter… it was VERY cold, and maybe not to be recommended. 🏨 Hotels - the main town is full of guesthouses. If you’re organising a guide to climb the mountain it’s likely he’ll suggest a hotel. 🥟 Food & Restaurants - Quite frankly the food here is not the best… you’ll be able to try some Tibetan food, but most places serve up perfectly-fine Sichuan food. If you are visiting ##chengdu don’t miss out on a Himalayan adventure… but do keep in mind it’s a fairly long drive to Four Sisters and you need at least a day or two to acclimatise to the high altitude, and you will need proper gear (boots, jackets, hiking poles) to summit the mountains in Winter - although most guiding companies can rent you the necessities. #newyearadventure #tripblazers #mountainview #MyTripVlog

(The forecast was accurate on the day we went.) It will be very hot when climbing the mountain in the sun, so a long-sleeved shirt is enough. A thin down jacket or a fleece hoodie is enough. It will be a little cold in the shade, so wear more clothes. ⚠️ Notes: 1. Be sure to eat at a restaurant on the side of the road before you reach the scenic area! (🥲 We didn't see any food in the scenic area, otherwise we would have been starving after climbing all afternoon.) 2. We were afraid of being tired from climbing uphill all the time because of the limited time, and the shuttle bus only stops at the top, so we chose to take the bus up and walk down. But ⚠️ if you have enough time and energy, we recommend walking up and taking the bus down, as the highlights are not far from the entrance! 3. If you have enough time, we recommend staying overnight. You can even go to Jiuzhaigou, which is only more than 100 km away.

Some moments at Jiuding Mountain ~ Choose a day with good weather, the beautiful scenery is worth it!! A walking stick is a must Climbing up: about 4-6 hours, this section is only a little difficult to climb, the road is very narrow, and it is slippery when it rains.

The weather is cool and refreshing in autumn, so come and visit Heihu Town in Mao County with me!

Western Sichuan is a place that people yearn for. After the Mid-Autumn Festival, I started a trip to Aba in western Sichuan with my friends. The first destination we arrived at was Heihu Town in Mao County. Heihu Town is located in the northwest of Mao County, 27.5 kilometers away from the county seat. The Qiang people living here "live by the mountains and build houses with stones", mainly planting corn, vegetables, pepper, and green and red crispy plums. Walking in Heihu Town, surrounded by green mountains and rivers, and green and red crispy plums, the climate is pleasant, making it a good summer resort. The nearby Yingzui River Qiang Tower Group is a national key cultural relics protection unit. The Yingzui River Qiang Tower Group was built in the Han and Tang Dynasties. It is a multi-story building made of stones and mud. It is large at the bottom and small at the top, tall and majestic. The exterior has various structures such as quadrilateral, octagonal, and dodecagonal. The outer wall of the tower is a pyramidal shape. Each floor is equipped with shooting holes and observation holes, all of which are small outside and large inside, in the shape of an inverted bucket, and the wall gradually recedes from bottom to top. It is used as a habitat in peacetime and as a military defense fortification in wartime.

Can't make it to Altay? Visit Jiuding Mountain instead.

In Sichuan, there is a place far from the hustle and bustle of the city, quietly nestled in the mountains. It is Jiuding Mountain in Mao County, Aba Tibetan and Qiang Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan Province. Not only does it have charming natural scenery, but it is also a holy place for photography enthusiasts and hikers. 🌟【Location】 Jiuding Mountain is located on the edge of the western Sichuan Plateau, about 200 kilometers from Chengdu. It is a natural scenic spot that has not been fully developed. The altitude here gradually rises from more than 2,000 meters to about 5,000 meters, with rich alpine meadows and primitive forest resources. 🌈【Must-see attractions】 - Alpine flower sea: Every summer, Jiuding Mountain will usher in a splendid sea of flowers. Different kinds of wild flowers bloom in competition, forming a colorful picture. - Sunrise and sea of clouds: To capture the most shocking sunrise and sea of clouds, you must get up early and climb to the top of the mountain. When the first ray of sunlight penetrates the clouds, the golden light is sprinkled all over the earth, and it feels like being in a fairyland. - Ice and snow world: Jiuding Mountain in winter is another scene. Snow-capped mountains, glaciers, and blue sky and white clouds set off each other, forming a magnificent picture. 🚗【Transportation】 Departing from Chengdu, you can take a long-distance bus to Mao County, and then rent a car or join a local tour group to Jiuding Mountain. Friends who drive by themselves can choose Chengdu-Guanzhou Expressway to Dujiangyan, and then drive along National Highway 213, which takes about 4 hours. 🏠【Accommodation recommendation】 Due to the relatively remote location of Jiuding Mountain, it is recommended to stay in Mao County or nearby towns. There are many choices from economy hotels to characteristic homestays. If you like camping, you can also bring your own equipment and experience the fun of outdoor life in the designated area. 🍲【Surrounding food】 When you come here, you must not miss the local Tibetan hot pot, butter tea and fresh plateau vegetables. In the snack street of Mao County, you can also taste more authentic Tibetan and Qiang snacks. 🌳【Nearby attractions】 After visiting Jiuding Mountain, you can also visit other nearby attractions: - Huanglong Scenic Area: Known for its colorful pools, snow-capped mountains, and canyons, it is known as the "Jade Pool on Earth". - Siguniang Mountain: Known for its majestic peaks and beautiful natural landscapes. Although Jiuding Mountain is not a well-known tourist attraction, it has a unique charm. Here, you can slow down, listen to the voice of nature, and feel the dialogue between the soul and nature.

Baishi Qiang Village, quiet and comfortable

About 5 kilometers away from Maoxian County, the parking lot is across the road from the village. After parking the car and walking into the village, it takes no more than 3 minutes. Baishi Qiang Village was originally a small village in Fengyi Town. The 2008 earthquake caused heavy losses, and the small village almost completely disappeared. After the post-disaster reconstruction in 2008, it was renamed Baishi Qiang Village because the mountain people here respect white stones, and their houses are all built of white stones. Now, Baishi Qiang Village has many homestays and farms, and fruit trees are everywhere, mainly cherries, plums, persimmons, and apples. It's nice to take a walk here.
