How to Visit
1
Choose the valley before buying
Pick Shuangqiao Valley for the easiest first visit, Changping Valley for forest and hiking toward the peaks, and Haizi Valley for a more strenuous trekking day.
Tip:Buy for one valley at a time; the three valleys are not covered as one simple loop.
2
Book and enter inside the 2026 time window
Use the official booking channels and enter before the listed cutoff. Holiday tickets can sell out.
Tip:Do not arrive at noon and expect to cover a long valley well.
3
Use Shuangqiao Valley for a low-effort scenic day
Sightseeing buses carry visitors deep into the valley, then you stop at selected points while returning. This is the most practical choice for families and first-timers.
Tip:It still reaches high altitude, so walk slowly.
4
Treat Changping and Haizi as hiking decisions
Changping involves more walking or riding options. Haizi is less developed and should be chosen only by visitors comfortable with altitude and a long day.
Tip:Do not add Haizi Valley after another valley unless your group is ready for a separate hiking day.
5
Sleep nearby if doing more than one valley
Stay in Siguniangshan Town so you can start early and avoid a long drive before hiking.
Tip:Book warm accommodation in town because valley days can end cold even outside winter.
Highlights
- Three-valley scenic system with different difficulty levels
