Luojiajiu Shijiu Li Hot Spring Waterfall
Having heard of the famous Luojiajiu Shijiu Li Hot Spring Waterfall in Puge County, I specially stayed at a homestay near the scenic area entrance for a night to see and experience the cliff-hanging hot spring waterfall. There are many waterfalls and pools in the scenic area, but only one is an authentic hot spring waterfall. The radon-containing spring water, about 35 degrees Celsius, flows down from a height, which is novel. Unfortunately, summer is not the best time to visit here as it is too crowded. The Luojiajiu Shijiu Li Hot Spring Waterfall is known as the 'world's number one natural hot spring waterfall.'

🌿Thoughtful Suggestions:
✅Take the shuttle bus in the scenic area, and you'll reach the entrance in ten minutes. Quickly find the changing room, put on your swimsuit, and get ready to start your hot spring journey!
✅There are three major hot spring pools waiting for you to explore in the scenic area. The cliffside waterfall hot spring lets you enjoy comfort amidst thrills; the hot spring islands let you feel the wonders of nature; the mountain top cave waterfall hot spring makes you feel like you've traveled through time.
✅Climb to the mountainside, and the cliff waterfall in front of you will definitely amaze you! This is the focal point for tourists and the best spot for photos. The hot spring water hitting your body feels so comfortable that you won't want to leave.
✅Continue upwards, and you'll find a series of pools of various sizes with just the right water temperature.

The Rocky Mountains of the Liangshan People｜Luoji Mountain in Xichang
❤️This is a moss forest kingdom at an altitude of over 3600 meters. There are not many tourists, making it a great place to relax and escape the summer heat.
✅Scenic Area Features: A well-developed 4A-level scenic area with artificial steps and paths throughout, offering high safety and gentle slopes. The highland lakes and forests provide a unique charm for children from plain cities.
🗺️Route Options
Everyone's physical condition is different. To avoid the effects of altitude sickness, I recommend taking the scenic area bus and cable car to reach the starting point at an altitude of over 3000 meters, then touring the scenic area in a counterclockwise direction. The advantage of this is that the ascent is relatively gentle, with most of the steps concentrated on the downhill section. The approximate order of attractions is as follows:
Pearl Waterfall➡️Pearl Lake➡️Yuzan Lake➡️Holding Hands Lake (highest altitude 3837m)➡️Xiancao Lake➡️Aruya Viewing Platform➡️Dahai Lake➡️Cable Car Return
⚠️Note: Even in summer, the highlands are still very cool, so keep warm. You can rent down jackets if you visit in other seasons.
💰Cost: Scenic area ticket + shuttle bus + cable car = 220
🚗Transportation: Tourist bus or self-drive to 'Luoji Mountain Scenic Area'. The self-drive route is mostly winding mountain roads, not recommended for novice drivers.
📌Tips: Bring plenty of dry food and water, as there are no supply points in the latter half of the scenic area.

If you don't go see the azaleas soon, you'll have to wait until next year
The Dragon Boat Festival holiday is the perfect time to visit Xichang, and if you don't go to Mount Luoji, you're really missing out. The azaleas covering the mountains are incredibly romantic!

The Soma flowers bloom on Luoji Mountain
Yes, I am at Luoji Mountain, and I have fallen in love with the Soma flowers here!
Luoji Mountain spans across Xichang City, Puge County, and Dechang County in Liangshan Prefecture, Sichuan Province. Stretching nearly a hundred kilometers from north to south, it is named 'Luoji Mountain' because its shape resembles the ancient girl's snail-shaped bun.
Luoji Mountain is also famous for its more than 30 varieties of wild azaleas that cover the mountains. May and June are the best months to visit Luoji Mountain to enjoy the azaleas.
As we walk along, we enjoy the flowers all the way, and the profusion of blossoms makes one's heart bloom with joy and happiness beyond control...

🌟Distribution of the Waterfall Hot Spring Scenic Area
♨Natural Waterfall Hot Spring Area
The hot spring water, around 40 degrees Celsius, cascades down from the cliff halfway up the mountain. It is rare to find a waterfall that maintains a constant temperature, and hot springs that form a waterfall. This raw and rugged beauty of nature will leave an unforgettable impression, and it is fun to soak in the hot springs below the waterfall. The downside is that the water temperature is not very high, so it is not suitable for long soaks in winter.
♨"Mandarin Duck" Pool Area
Located in the center of the scenic area's river beach, the artificially constructed circular hot spring pools are scattered like stars. The water here is half cold and half hot, offering a contrast of ice and fire, suitable for summer soaking.
♨"Cave" Pool Area
The cave area is suitable for winter soaking, with steam swirling around in a dreamy and warm atmosphere.
♨Mountain Top Viewing Pool Area
The mountain top pool offers the best view and the highest temperature, but it tends to be more crowded during peak season.
‼️Warm Tips:
It is recommended to bring your own bath towel or bathrobe, and prepare a waterproof phone bag and waterproof bag for your belongings in advance.
The hot spring water is not very hot, with the regular pools at about 40 degrees Celsius. In winter, you can choose a high-temperature pool or indoor pool.

Guabizhong Hot Spring--Luojishan Ninety-nine Miles Hot Spring Waterfall
The Ninety-nine Miles Hot Spring Waterfall is located in Qiaowo Town, Puge County, Liangshan Prefecture, more than 60 kilometers away from Xichang city area. Due to the many bends in the mountain roads and the presence of many large vehicles, it is estimated that the journey will take about 100 minutes.
The waterfall flows with hot water, and you can bathe in the hot springs on the edge of the cliff. There is a small scene every mile, and a wonder every nine miles, totaling ninety-nine scenes, hence the name Luojishan Ninety-nine Miles. It is a waterfall group that spans more than two hundred meters, composed of dozens of waterfalls of varying sizes. The highest waterfall has a drop of fifty meters, and the 40-degree hot spring water flows down from the mid-mountain cliff, falling into each natural pool. When you first enter, it feels like stepping into a fairyland. It is worth mentioning that the hot spring waterfall is in the form of cascades, so the force of the waterfall water hitting the body is just right. There is also a cave hot spring, where water and fire coexist.
The hot springs among the green forests and fields are truly beautiful to the extreme, especially the hidden second passage at the entrance staircase. Friends who are physically fit and do not suffer from claustrophobia can go in. Diving through it, you can reach another space, giving a sense of achievement in exploring the unknown.
There are not many pools, but it is still recommended to go when there are not many people, to better experience the unity of heaven and man. Also, the ticket price varies depending on the time slot you enter the hot springs, so everyone can arrange their time accordingly. The early session before 9:30 am and the late session after 5:30 pm cost 120, while during the day it is 180.

Nature's Gift: The Ninety-Nine Mile Waterfall Hot Springs of the Great Liang Mountains
Just a stone's throw away from Luoji Mountain, there lies a place even more beautiful than the mountain scenery - the Ninety-Nine Mile Waterfall Hot Springs. It's my first time seeing hot springs built right in the midst of a waterfall cluster!

The hot spring water, around 40 degrees Celsius, cascades down from the cliffs mid-mountain, and the rugged beauty of nature is truly breathtaking!
This is the largest waterfall hot spring in the world, and also the only cliff hot spring. A hundred different sized hot spring waterfalls form a hot spring waterfall cluster, with water around 40℃ gushing out from the limestone fissures, roaring in the verdant valley, with steam shrouding the area like a fairyland.
The hot spring water of Luoji Mountain is radon hot spring water, which can be directly consumed. The water is rich in radon and metasilicic acid, making it a weak carbonic acid type natural mineral water, with no odd taste upon drinking.

The "European style" in southwestern Sichuan - Luoji Mountain Shuicao Lake
From the south bank of Dahai Zi, climb into the depths of Luoji Mountain along the mountain road, another beautiful glacier lake comes into view, this is Shuicao Lake.
Shuicao Lake is several hundred meters higher than Dahai Zi, smaller in area, with a narrow lake shore. The trees on the lake shore are almost grown in the lake, and the lake is filled with floating water plants and fluttering leaves, hence the name Shuicao Lake.
The scenery of Shuicao Lake is full of European style. The color of the lake, the vegetation on the lake shore, and the mountains behind the lake give people the illusion of coming to the Alps. This is the European style in southwestern Sichuan.

Glacier Geomorphology Museum - Luoji Mountain, Sichuan
Xichang has a pleasant scenery and numerous attractions. Apart from the cultural and natural landscapes of Xichang city, I personally think that Luoji Mountain is the most worth exploring.
Luoji Mountain is located southeast of Xichang, about an hour's drive from the city. This journey itself is also full of excitement, because this road has to cross a high mountain ridge, the steep and changeable terrain also brings endless scenery, so be sure to choose a window seat.
Luoji Mountain is named for its resemblance to a girl's bun, once on par with Emei Mountain, it is one of the famous mountains in Sichuan.
The scenery of Luoji Mountain is absolutely beautiful, dominated by glacier landforms, it can be called a museum of glacier landforms. There are a large number of horn peaks, cirques, arêtes and other glacier erosion landforms, as well as stone waterfalls, drift gravels and other glacier sedimentary landforms, and a series of glacier lakes like pearls. Walking among them, it's like entering a fairyland, which is dazzling and makes people linger.
The vegetation of Luoji Mountain is also quite unique. It can be said that it has a different appearance from the eastern part of China, and it feels more like the Rocky Mountains in North America or the Alps in Europe. It's a good fortune for Chinese people to enjoy such ingenious glacier landforms without going abroad. Compared with the glacier landforms in the deep part of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau in western Yunnan and Tibet, the glacier landforms of Luoji Mountain are within easy reach. You only need to take a one-hour car ride after getting off the plane.
It takes about half a day to a day to visit Luoji Mountain. The planning of the scenic area is very good. The circular tour route allows people to see the most scenery in the least amount of travel. The facilities in the scenic area are also very complete. More importantly, it is still relatively unknown here. On non-holidays, you can feel the sense of being independent of the world, which is very good.

The Luoji Mountain Ninety-nine Mile Hot Spring Waterfall is located in Qiaowo Town, Puge County, Liangshan State.

The Luoji Mountain Ninety-nine Mile Hot Spring Waterfall, with no extreme heat in summer and no severe cold in winter, is the largest hot spring waterfall in the world. The Luoji Mountain Hot Spring is composed of dozens of hot spring waterfalls of different sizes and shapes. The hot spring water flows down to form a hot spring waterfall.
Ice and Fire Two-Heaven Hot Spring Island:
The snow water from the first peak of Luoji melts and flows down the valley to form a living water lake. There are six small islands around the lake where you can soak in the hot springs. In summer, you can come here to experience the feeling of ice and fire. The icy cold of the lake water and the fiery heat of the hot springs will surely be unforgettable.
The world's only cliff-hanging hot spring:
The original natural cliff hot spring, after artificial modification, has been expanded to form the current hanging hot spring. Imagine soaking in a hot spring on a cliff with a blue sky above and a cliff below. Experience the feeling of a racing heart.

A fairy-tale-like Dahai Zi
The Luoji Mountain scenic area of the Daliang Mountain Range is a national AAAA level scenic spot with numerous attractions: Dahai Zi, glacier drift, glacier stone slope, Pearl Lake, grass lake, hand-in-hand lake, jade bun lake, love lake, empty drum stream, etc. However, in the winter time, Luoji Mountain shows a fairy-tale-like ice and snow world, especially Dahai Zi, also known as Heilongtan, which is half frozen and half presents clear blue lake water in the severe cold of the winter. Looking at Dahai Zi from halfway up the mountain, it looks like a huge mandarin duck hot pot, with beautiful curves that are incomparably beautiful. The plank road along the lake and the ice and snow, ice ridges under the winter warm sun, are even more crystal clear and wonderful, which is absolutely a rare view for people who live in the south all year round.
The winter Luoji Mountain, corresponding to the warm Xichang, forms a huge contrast, providing a different style and play place for people who come to Xichang to 'cat winter'. Here, I share a set of photos of Dahai Zi in Luoji Mountain for you to enjoy and appreciate.

Born with a bun, here I come!
This place has majestic mountains, beautiful scenery, dense forests, and layered peaks. It's really super beautiful!
We set off from Xichang in the morning and took a bus to the Luoji Mountain Scenic Area. Upon arriving at the scenic area, we first took a cable car up the mountain. During the ascent of the cable car, we could enjoy the beautiful scenery outside. After getting off the cable car, we started our hiking journey.
The air on the mountain is fresh, and the vegetation is refreshing. Along the way, we saw many beautiful sceneries, such as Hand-in-Hand Lake, Big Sea, and Water Grass Lake. The most impressive one is the Big Sea, which is a clear high mountain lake surrounded by dense forests. The scenery is very spectacular. Here, we can also hear the songs of birds and many unseen plants, feeling the beauty of nature. In the afternoon, we started to descend the mountain and ended the day's journey. Although this trip was a bit tiring, it was very worthwhile. We felt the charm of nature, exercised our bodies, and relaxed our mood. If you also like nature, then you must come to Luoji Mountain to feel the beautiful scenery here!

The Pearl of Western Sichuan Tourism - Xichang
Xichang, the capital of Liangshan Prefecture in Sichuan Province, is a beautiful county-level city not far from Chengdu, with comprehensive transportation facilities such as high-speed rail and airports. Xichang is located in the valley of the Hengduan Mountains, with a mild climate, no severe heat in summer and no severe cold in winter. It is a place where people in the Sichuan Basin often go to escape the cold in winter, and it can be called the backyard of Sichuan. The long history, rich culture, and beautiful scenery of Xichang itself make it a dazzling tourist pearl in Western Sichuan.
The beauty of Xichang lies first in its natural scenery. Located between Lushan and Qionghai, Xichang, like Dali, is also a plateau city where 'mountains and seas depend on each other'. Whether overlooking Qionghai from Lushan or looking at Lushan from the shore of Qionghai, this mountain and sea form the most charming scenery line of Xichang. Xichang has not wasted these unique tourism resources, and has made great efforts to build the Lushan Qionghai Scenic Spot, making it a natural park. Climbing Lushan and circling Qionghai are essential tourism projects for Xichang.
The scenery of Xichang is not only here. In the mountains not far south of Xichang City, there is a mountain that is as famous as Emei Mountain - Luoji Mountain. This mountain range has a large number of glacial landforms, peaks that pierce the blue sky, and wide U-shaped valleys, which show the powerful erosion of glaciers with a grand momentum. What is most attractive is the glacial lakes scattered among the Luoji Mountains. These large and small lakes, either blue and clear, or yellow and bright, are like gems scattered in the mountains, showing the beautiful side of the glacial landscape with their beautiful scenery. Wandering in Luoji Mountain is not only a wonderful experience in Xichang, but also a rare experience in China.
The beauty of Xichang is not only in the natural scenery, but also in its history and culture. Xichang has a long history and has been a county seat since the time of Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty. Xichang is located at the intersection of Han and Tibetan cultures, and is also a north-south corridor for Tibetan and Yi ethnic groups. It is also an important town on the ancient southern Silk Road. Frequent economic and cultural exchanges between various ethnic groups and civilizations have left Xichang with a rich cultural heritage, among which, the ancient city of Jianchang is undoubtedly the most comprehensive.
Jianchang Ancient City was built during the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty and is one of the best-preserved ancient cities in China. The streets and alleys of the ancient city retain a strong historical atmosphere. Walking through the streets of the ancient city is like traveling through time and space. Xichang also vigorously excavates its own historical culture and has built a series of cultural tourism facilities, such as Tang Garden, which recalls the atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty, and Torch Square, which promotes ethnic culture, are all worth seeing cultural tourism treasures.
Xichang is also a city of food, especially the famous Xichang barbecue, which has already occupied a place in various food documentaries and food bloggers' exploration trips. After appreciating the natural and cultural scenery of Xichang, having a hearty barbecue is undoubtedly the most perfect tourist experience.
