Mount Siguniang, literally "Four Girls Mountain," is located in the Aba Tibetan and Qiang Autonomous Prefecture, Southwest China's Sichuan Province. Its name stems from a local legend that the place was once slammed by chilling northern winds and in order to protect the local residents, four beautiful girls turned into four peaks to shield the place from the blows. Dubbed "Eastern Alps," the mountain consists of four continuous peaks covered with snow and ice all year round. The 6,250-meter-high fourth peak is the highest as well as the most captivating one. The heights of the first, second and third peaks are 5,355 meters, 5,454 meters and 5,664 meters, respectively. [Photo/China.org.cn]
