We will have total 3 steep sections while the rest are gradual and okay. We shall have views of mountains in Siguniang on the way to Dafeng Base Camp. While trekking you may have stops but need to watch the time. You should arrive the halfway Dajianbao no later than 1pm.

You’ll need to listen to guide’s advice on this day of whether you should evacuate should you suffer AMS. It’s not wise to risk your life/health. It is possible you may need to give up before reach the camp. But the mountains and views are always there you may come back later when you feel better if you have to give up.

Early morning 2-3am start from camp and walk up the summit and see the views of the mountains of Siguniang by the summit. The way up to the summit can be snowy, rocky, windy, icy. During certain seasons you may encounter crowds of “traffic jams” up to the summit which may involve long hours of waiting in the cold (1-3 hours), please expect this and prepare warm clothes and gears against this. Then after photo by the summit we will head back to base camp and re-pack and walk out the same way. You should arrive back to trail head by around 3-4pm and then drive back to Chengdu downtown and arrive between 8pm to 10pm.
