Before You Book
Meals are not included. Scenic-area admission is included only for Yala Mountain, Mugecuo. All other admission, compulsory scenic buses, cableways, electric carts and local viewpoint transfers are additional.
These are full travel days with early departures and long mountain-road transfers. Arrive in Chengdu the day before departure and book onward flights or trains for the day after the tour. The departure point, meeting time and hotel areas are confirmed before travel. A joining day or extra Chengdu hotel night is not included.
Altitude and Walking
The route reaches high-altitude areas and can rise quickly from Chengdu. Discuss suitability and any additional acclimatisation nights with a qualified healthcare professional before booking. Do not ascend higher when you have altitude-illness symptoms; tell the driver and seek appropriate assistance. The driver does not provide mountain rescue or medical care. Carry warm layers, sun protection, sturdy footwear, water and personal medication.
Accommodation, Language and Group Arrangements
Hotels are arranged in the listed overnight areas, subject to availability, with twin rooms as the normal arrangement. Local hotel standards vary. This is a shared group with one seat per traveller; seats are not reserved in advance. Bring one manageable suitcase, preferably no larger than 24 inches, plus a small daypack.
The included service is driver accompaniment, without professional sightseeing commentary. English-language guiding can be requested and quoted separately before booking. Provide passport nationality, participant ages, mobility needs and any dietary requirements when enquiring so participation, accommodation and insurance eligibility can be checked.
Scenic-area access, road controls, weather and traffic may require a change in the sequence or an agreed alternative viewpoint. Clear mountain views, sunset colours and drone photography are not guaranteed. Review the written quotation, included services and cancellation terms before making payment.

Daily Itinerary
Leave Chengdu early for Mount Siguniang, stopping at Maobiliang when conditions allow. Explore Shuangqiao Valley by scenic bus and open walking paths for around four hours, with forest, streams and alpine meadow scenery. This is a sightseeing visit rather than a summit climb. Admission and the scenic bus are additional. Rejoin the shared vehicle and continue toward Danba for the first overnight stay, allowing flexibility for mountain-road traffic.
Overnight: Danba
Meals: Meals at your own expense.
Travel from Danba into the Yala Mountain scenic area for its forested approach and mountain scenery, using the available visitor routes. The included Yala admission does not cover scenic shuttles or other internal transport. Later visit Moshi Park and continue to Yuzixi, where visibility and access determine the viewpoint experience. Local fees outside the stated included admission are additional. Finish in Xinduqiao; an alternative viewpoint may replace Yuzixi when necessary.
Overnight: Xinduqiao
Meals: Meals at your own expense.
Spend the day around the Tagong plateau, combining a Tibetan-style clothing photo experience with stops near Gunong Village and Muya Monastery. The programme offers a closer look at village scenery, open meadows and religious architecture between the longer driving days. Ask before photographing people or religious spaces and follow any local restrictions. Admission or local charges not specifically included are paid separately. Return to Xinduqiao for a second night.
Overnight: Xinduqiao
Meals: Meals at your own expense.
Travel along the permitted airport-road route, pausing at Honghaizi if conditions allow, then visit Mugecuo, also known as Kangding Love Song Scenic Area.

Keep walks within a comfortable altitude range and return to the meeting point on time. Continue through Kangding toward Chengdu, normally arriving in the evening. Leave onward flights or trains until the following day.
