Alternative 5000m peaks other than Dafeng

Dafeng, Erfeng and all parks of Siguniang are shut off from November to the next June every year to restore nature due to over tourism in Siguniang that much damage was done to the mountain. Now if you come in by the seasons between November and the next June you will still have chances to summit a 5000er as there are other alternatives other than just Dafeng and Erfeng. These peaks are near the park of Siguniang also in the Qionglaishan Mountain Range with slightly further driving and similar planning as of Dafeng of Siguniang. These peaks include the following peaks. Please send your questions and inquiries if you are interested in the following peaks.

Mt. Sawu(5060m) is one of the non-technical peaks in Qionglaishan Range near Siguniang massif. It has longer drive to get to and has similar approach but harder climb from 4300m to 5060m. It also requires early start in the morning. There are total 3 routes to 3 different summits(the highest route is a technical one that we don’t recommend if you don’t have technical climbing experience and gears). This mountain is available almost all year round (except holidays). We strongly recommend you to acclimate yourself elsewhere before doing this summit.

Mt. Langda (4860m) is a relatively easy route to a minor high point near Siguniang with 800m ascent and in one day. This is an easier alternative to Dafeng and open almost all year round. We strongly recommend you to acclimate yourself before doing this summit.

Jiujiahai (4930m) is another alternative peak if you come in the season when Dafeng is closed. It also requires early start to do this summit and available almost all year round. We recommend you to acclimate yourself properly before doing this summit. The view is the best of the three listed here although this peak sometimes is shut off in certain seasons.
