The Great Cliff at 3,500m Altitude! A Place Known as the Edge of the World

📌 **Highlights of the Spectacle** ✅ **"Edge of the Earth" Wonder**: Recognized by *Chinese National Geography*, the Longtou Mountain Great Cliff is a near-90° vertical drop with a height difference of over 1,000 meters. One side features lush alpine grasslands, while the other is a rolling sea of clouds—as if standing at the end of the world. Every shot you take is an epic masterpiece! ✅ **Cloud-Walking Experience**: At 3,500 meters above sea level, the sea of clouds is within reach! The sunrise glow at dawn and the golden sunset in the evening make every moment feel like a fairy tale. ✅ **Untouched Wilderness**: A pristine natural landscape with minimal development. Encounter grazing cattle and sheep, and immerse yourself in the surreal journey of "driving in the sky, wandering in the clouds." ⚠️ **Important Notes** ❗ **Mountain Access Restrictions**: Due to ecological protection, self-driving is currently prohibited near the cliff. Arrange for a local guide or hike in advance—do not trespass! Protecting the environment is everyone's responsibility. ❗ **Best Season**: July-August offers the most spectacular sea of clouds during the rainy season, but muddy trails require non-slip shoes, rain gear, and high-energy snacks (chocolate, beef jerky). ❗ **Safety First**: No guardrails at the cliff edge—keep a safe distance when taking photos. Aerial drone shots are highly recommended! 🚗 **Recommended Itinerary** 🔸 **Day 1**: Depart from Xichang → Cross Huangmao Ridge (Liangshan's geographical divide) → Explore ancient Yi villages → Stay overnight at a high-altitude campsite under a starry sky. 🔸 **Day 2**: Hike to the Great Cliff → Visit the sea of clouds and grasslands → Head to Leibo Mahu Lake (the "Sapphire of the Plateau") for a boat ride to the island. 🔸 **Nearby Attractions**: Combine with the thrilling steel ladder of "Cliff Village," Luojishan Glacier Hot Springs, and Mosuo culture at Lugu Lake for an in-depth Liangshan adventure! 🍖 **Must-Try Local Cuisine** 🔥 Xichang firepot barbecue, Huili copper hotpot, Mianning ham, and Yi-style "Tuo Tuo Meat" (chunky stewed pork)—feast like the bold Yi people! 📸 **Outfit Tips** 👟 Comfortable hiking shoes + windproof jacket (large temperature shifts at the summit). Bright-colored clothing stands out in photos. Sunglasses and hats are sun protection essentials! 🌱 **Respect Nature** Liangshan's grandeur needs collective care! Pack out trash, avoid trampling meadows, and capture memories with your camera—not carvings. Keep the "Edge of the Earth" pristine forever! In life, you must stand once at the edge of the world—watching clouds surge and listening to the wind sweep through the mountains.
