Mount Siguniang Travel Guide (with Price List) Mount Siguniang is located in Siguniangshan Town, Xiaojin County, Aba Tibetan and Qiang Autonomous Prefecture. It consists of four continuous peaks and three valleys—Shuangqiao Valley, Changping Valley, and Haizi Valley—and is known as the "Oriental Alps," a paradise for outdoor enthusiasts. Below is a detailed travel guide to Mount Siguniang, covering price information for tickets, transportation, accommodation, dining, and travel routes. I. Ticket and Sightseeing Bus Prices Tickets for the three valleys of Mount Siguniang are sold separately, and sightseeing bus tickets must be purchased separately: Shuangqiao Valley: Full price ticket 80 yuan/person, discounted ticket 40 yuan/person (applicable to students, senior citizens, and other eligible tourists); sightseeing bus ticket 70 yuan/person.
