Yaomei Peak (Mount Siguniang)
幺妹峰
The highest peak in the Siguniang range, at 6,250 meters. It is Sichuan's second-highest peak, known as the “Alps of the East.”
Yaomei Peak is the highest and steepest of the four Siguniang peaks, at 6,250 meters. Only Gongga Mountain is taller. It is Sichuan's second-highest peak, and its pyramid-shaped snow-covered summit has earned it the nickname “Last of the Shu Mountains” (Queen of Sichuan's Peaks). Climbing it requires advanced skill and experience. Most visitors admire it from Maobiliang, Chaoshanping, Changping Valley, and Haizi Valley. Each vantage point reveals a different angle. From the direction of Riglong, all four peaks line up. From Changping Valley you can see its northwest face. The best chance to see the golden mountain is on clear mornings.
