Rough Cost on Siguniangshan Dafeng Trekking Tour

updated on Feb 04, 2020

The following costing list is based on traveling from and back to Chengdu. The cost of doing a Dafeng summit trek is composed of transfers, food, accommodations, porter, guide and the admission charges.

Cost for public transfer is within CNY100 per ride. Round trip will cost double of this price. The public bus takes you directly to Riling where the base of Siguniang is. Please read more about how to get to Rilong by public bus. To use a private transfer it costs around 1000CNY for a small carcar that normally takes 1-3people.

Cost on food will differ depending on what you eat. Note a lot of hotels at Siguniang don't provide free breakfast. We recommend a minimum budget of CNY30 a meal is safe as price of food has gone up a lot in recent years.

Cost on hotels is at between CNY150 to CNY400. There are plenty clean hostels you can find in Rilong. Most of them are hostel looking and some are quite clean.

Cost on porter is usually a set price based on number of horses and horsemen you use. Price is between CNY150 to CNY200 per horse per day and CNY200 to CNY300 per horseman per day. Depending on how much stuff you are taking with you there requires different numbers of porters.

For guide it's difficult to find one in Rilong that speaks English. All guides in Rilong speak Chinese. An English-speaking guide you can find from Chengdu and it costs much more. Normally if you find a guide from Chengdu you let your guide arrange everything for you.

The admissions cost CNY150 to CNY210 per person for the camping and environment protection fees. From 2019 the park doesn't recognize climbing permit any more so there is no need to get a climbing permit. The park itself has more than one administrative parties and each one gives their own rules regarding summiting Dafeng. And you are recommended to have your own insurance and make sure your trip is covered should anything happens.
