Bipeng Valley

Bipeng Valley, located in Miyaluo Town of Lixian County, Aba Tibetan and Qiang Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan Province, is a famous alpine canyon scenic area known as the “Back Garden of Mount Siguniang, the King of Sichuan Mountains.” It combines snow-capped peaks, forests, hot springs, glaciers, and alpine lakes, making it one of the most popular natural attractions in western Sichuan. In spring, flowers bloom in vibrant colors; in summer, the forest turns lush and green; in autumn, colorful foliage reflects on clear lakes; and in winter, snow blankets the entire valley. Each season offers its own unique charm. Whether you’re a photographer, a hiker, or a family traveler, you’ll be captivated by the valley’s majestic landscapes and peaceful atmosphere.
