Amazing west Sichuan – travel journal – day 9
Day 9 – Oct 24, Danba -(52km) – Xiaojin -(45km) – Siguniang mountain
Today was the last day of actual sightseeing of our 10 day west Sichuan tour, morning at 8:35 we drove to visit Suopo watchtowers for about an hour, and then head to our last sightseeing spot – Siguniang mountain.
We arrived Mt.Siguniang at 14:20 in the afternoon, and due to the time limit we only got to visit Shuangqiao valley, one of three valleys in Mt.Siguniang, but already impressed me greatly by its very awesome scenery.
