Daily Itinerary
Drive from Chengdu through the mountain corridor to Siguniang Town, around 3,200 m. The exact road time depends on traffic and current route controls. Check equipment, meet the trekking team and take a gentle acclimatization walk rather than scheduling a hard hike immediately after arrival.
Enter Changping Valley and follow the river through conifer forest and open meadow toward Muluozi. Expect roughly 15–18 km and 6–7 hours, depending on the operating park entrance and camp position. Overnight at a supported camp around 3,700–3,800 m.
Continue beyond the broad valley into rougher alpine terrain. The stage is normally about 13–15 km and 6–7 hours. Pack animals or porters, camp location and water availability are reconfirmed before departure. Sleep near Chazigou around 3,900–4,000 m and prepare for an early start.
Start early for the climb to Chazigou pass, approximately 4,668 m. Snow, scree and weather can make this the hardest day: allow about 8–10 hours and 12–15 km before descending toward the Bipenggou side. Use the park's operating shuttle where required, meet the vehicle and continue to a hotel in the Li County area.
Keep the morning flexible for an accessible Bipenggou viewpoint or a short recovery walk, depending on the previous day's finish and park operations. Then return to Chengdu by private vehicle. Travelers with onward flights should add a Chengdu night rather than rely on a same-day connection.
