Four Sisters Await for Adventurers
Mount Siguniang or Mount Four Sisters is located
in southwestern China's Sichuan province
The mountain gets its name from its four peaks adjacent to each other
Local legend says that the mountain gods
four beautiful daughters defeated the devil
and turned into four snow mountains to guard the local people
The snowy mountains offer one of the toughest challenges
for those who would like to conquer them
Out of the four sisters the youngest one
the Yaomei Peak is the highest and the steepest of them all
with the altitude of 6250 meters
Only the bravest climbers around the world dare to take the challenge
There are glaciers hanging on the southern slope
and extending to the foot of the mountain
The western and the northern slope are formed by the daunting steep Rocks
So far, the summit record for the Yaomei Peak is only 11 times
The Japanese and the American made it twice each
the British, the French and the Russian teams made it once each
and the Chinese team reached the top for four times
Besides the four remarkable peaks
Mount suguniang also has lots of other mountains
and valleys that are ready for exploration
The 5484-meters high Camel Peak is formed by two connected peaks
Between them there is a glacial plain
But right behind these glaciers is a vertical cliff
And we have the Pomiu Peak that looks like a pyramid
Five Colours Mountain with an altitude of 5500 meters
and the Hunter Mountain with an altitude of 5182 meters
Thanks for its breath-taking and wide landscape
Mount Siguniang is also known as "The Oriental Alps"
For the bravest adventurers worldwide
the Four Sisters will continue to lure them
and wait for the next one to stand on top of them
