brief introduction

In the episode "Secret Crossing: Mt. Siguniang", host He Tianran and photographer Ma Chunlin traveled to Mt. Siguniang in Aba Prefecture, Sichuan Province. The two hiked through Changping Valley and Haizi Valley of Mt. Siguniang, ultimately successfully reaching the summit of the main peak. During this journey, He Tianran and Ma Chunlin challenged themselves, experiencing the essence of the "Changchuanbi" route, one of China's top ten classic hiking trails, and gaining a deep understanding of the rich biodiversity of Mt. Siguniang and the local cultural customs. He Tianran fully made up for his regret of failing to summit 10 years ago, while Ma Chunlin, who has always focused on photographing mountains at an altitude of 8,000 meters, also realized that snow mountains at an altitude of 5,000 meters have their own unique charm.
