Rilong & Siguniangshan - Sichuan Province

Rilong, in the Aba Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture in Sichuan, is the gateway to visit the Mount Siguniang National Park. This park is comprised of Mount Siguniang itself, and the 3 most accessible valleys surrounding it: Shuangqiao, Changping and Haizi. Translated as the Four Sisters Mountain, the story goes that the mountain god had 4 beautiful daughters that the devil wished to marry. The father refused his blessing so the devil challenged him to a fight and killed him. The girls escaped and became the four peaks that make up the mountain range. The scenery here is defined by thick green forest, grasslands and clear flowing rivers, and has earned the nickname the 'Oriental Alps'.
