Overview

Quick Answer

2 days from Chengdu back to Chengdu. Shuicaoping mountain approach.

Known locally as Feicui Zhiyan, or Emerald Eye, this mountain outing begins with a night in the Mount Siguniang area and continues with an early ascent from Shuicaoping. The appeal lies in a full mountain day above the settled valley: open slopes, changing light and views that depend entirely on the weather. verotrip treats it as a demanding high-altitude objective and confirms the current line and summit access before finalizing the journey.

Why Choose This Journey

  • Shuicaoping mountain approach
  • One guesthouse night before the climb
  • A focused early ascent above the valley
