Four-Girl Mountain

Covered by snow and ice all year round, this mountain is called "the Alps in the East".

Among the Henduan Mountains, there are four adjacent peaks that comprise the Four-Girl Mountain Range. They are located in Rilong Town on the border of Xiaojin County and Wenchuan County in Aba Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture. It is 3,160 meters high above sea level and 220 km from Chengdu.

It lies among several tributaries on the northern bank of the Wori River, which flows on the southern side of the mountain. The total area is 450 square km. Some gullies stretch to more than 10 km and even to scores of km from the north to the south.

The Four-Girl Mountain (Si Gu Niang Shan) is covered by snow and ice all year round and is called "the Alps in the East". It is a scenic area at national Four-A level and has become a tourist site frequented by domestic and foreign mountain climbers.

Mysterious Mountain

The four mysterious peaks of the Four-Girl Mountain are surrounded by more than 10 snowy peaks, among which, the 4th peak is the highest with an elevation of 6250 meters, second only to Gonggar Mountain with an elevation of 7,556 meters, which is "the King of Shu Mountains" in the Sichuan area. The elevations of the 1st, 2nd and 3rd peak are 5,355 meters, 5,454 meters and 5,664 meters respectively. Like four girls, they are as white as ice and as pearly colored as jade, and are very pretty and charming. The precipice of the 4th peak is so high that nobody has ever climbed it.

Just some ten years ago the Four-Girl Mountain was absolutely isolated from the world. On the mountain, some original ecological sceneery is preserved, attracting people to appreciate its mysterious beauty.

Today, the Four-Girl Mountain consists of a group of scenic areas and is a tourist site with multiple functions for people to enjoy sightseeing, mountain climbing, exploration, scientific investigation, holidays and outings. Within the area, the four scenic tourist routes of Shuangqiao Gully, Changping Gully, Haizi Gully and Gozhuangping seem like four movements of this excellent music of nature.
