Mount Siguniang (Chinese: 四よん姑娘くーにゃん山やま; pinyin: Sìgūniang Shān; lit. 'Mountain of the Four Maidens'), or Mount Skubla (Tibetan: རི་བོ་སྐུ་བླ་[3], Wylie: ri bo sku bla, lit. 'Mountain of the tutelary deity'[4]) is the highest mountain of Qionglai Mountains in Western China. It is located in the bordering area of Siguniangshan Town, Xiaojin County and Wenchuan County in Ngawa Tibetan and Qiang Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan Province.

Mount Siguniang is renowned for its beauty. Mount Siguniang National Park was identified as a UNESCO Heritage Site as part of Sichuan Giant Panda Sanctuaries in 2006. The park comprises Mount Siguniang and the surrounding three valleys, namely Changping Valley (长坪沟), Haizi Valley (海うみ子こ沟) and Shuangqiao Valley (双そう桥沟), covering an area of 2,000sq km.[5]

Peaks

[edit]
Yaomei Peak

Mount Siguniang encompasses four peaks (with 峰みね meaning 'peak'): Daguniang Feng 大だい姑娘くーにゃん峰ほう (Big Peak or 1st peak), Erguniang Feng 二に姑娘くーにゃん峰ほう (2nd peak), Sanguniang Feng 三さん姑娘くーにゃん峰ほう (3rd peak), and Yaomei Feng, also known as Sanzuoshan Feng 三さん座ざ山やま峰ほう (3rd peak).

The highest peak is Yāomèi Fēng (幺妹峰ほう; 'peak of the youngest sister'), also known as the "Queen of Sichuan's peaks" (蜀しょく山さん皇后こうごう), standing at 6,250 m (20,510 ft). It is also the second highest mountain in Sichuan Province and the easternmost 6,000 m (20,000 ft) or higher peak on Earth. The first ascent was in 1981 by a Japanese team via the east ridge. Very few people attempt to climb this and very few of those succeed.[6] The first ascent of the southwest ridge was made in 2008 by Chad Kellogg and Dylan Johnson.[7][8]

Yaks at Mount Siguniang Scenic Area

The other three lower peaks are regular mountaineering destinations through all seasons. Mount Siguniang DaFeng (四よん姑娘くーにゃん山大やまだい峰ほう or 大だい姑娘くーにゃん山やま; 'peak of the oldest sister', 5,025 m or 16,486 ft) is normally considered as a pure trekking peak while ErFeng (四よん姑娘くーにゃん山やま二に峰みね or 二に姑娘くーにゃん山やま; 'peak of the second sister', 5,276 m or 17,310 ft) and SanFeng (四よん姑娘くーにゃん山さん三峰みつみね or 三さん姑娘くーにゃん山やま; 'peak of the third sister', 5,355 m or 17,569 ft) are more challenging, requiring basic climbing techniques.[9][10]
