What travellers say about Zitong

xwxps27 November 2026

4.0

Bipenggou and Shuangqiaogou in Siguniang Mountain are beautiful, but limiting each attraction to about five hours is a bit restrictive for someone like me who prefers a slower pace of travel. For the last two days, I wanted to see more of western Sichuan, so I had to join a tour for a more efficient itinerary. The tour itself was very comfortable, everything went smoothly and according to plan, I met new friends and saw the scenery I wanted to see. Despite the low tour price, the mandatory bus transportation to both scenic areas and the optional lunch required additional payment, totaling several hundred yuan. Overall, I'd give it four stars!
