    Luoji Mountain is a north-south trending mountain range located in Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan Province. It is named for its shape, which resembles the spiral-shaped hair bun of an ancient maiden. The main peak, Bian'e'eha, reaches an altitude of 4354.2 meters (as of 2023). Spanning Xichang, Puge, and Dechang counties, it covers a total area of ​​approximately 2450 square kilometers. The mountain is composed of Sinian sandstone and conglomerate, preserving Quaternary glacial relics such as cirques and glacial grooves. It contains over 50 glacial lakes, the largest of which is Dahai Lake. The mountain exhibits distinct vertical climate characteristics, with vegetation including Yunnan pine forests, fir primeval forests, over 30 species of wild rhododendrons, and alpine meadows, creating a magnificent sea of ​​flowers every May. It is home to national first-class protected plants such as silver-leaf osmanthus and fragrant fruit trees, and is inhabited by rare animals such as red pandas and serows. It is also rich in medicinal herbs such as cordyceps and fritillaria, as well as mineral deposits of gold, silver, and copper. The scenic area includes natural landscapes such as hot spring waterfalls and colorful lakes. The mountain climate is changeable; while riding the cable car up and down the mountain, the sky is blue and the clouds are white, but when you reach Dahai Lake, it's shrouded in mist, offering a unique view. When you first enter the forest, the sun is out, but after a while, it starts to drizzle. The climate here is pleasant, and the scenery is extremely beautiful!

    Overall, it was alright. Buying tickets through Ctrip was very convenient; you could just scan your ID card when you arrived at the park. The only downside was that the cable car tickets were monopolized by other ticketing platforms, so you couldn't buy them together. Also, it took an hour just to get into the park by car. Fortunately, the scenery was worth it.

    Buying tickets online was very convenient, but the entrances to the scenic area weren't clearly marked, leaving me unsure of which way to go! The buses to the scenic area were all private minibuses with no clear boarding points, making the management seem rather chaotic. The scenic area itself was still very fun and worth visiting! It was my first time soaking in the waterfall hot springs; the waterfalls were spectacular, and the scenery was beautiful! However, there were still no clear maps of the scenic area, and you had to climb up to find the location of each pool! Overall, I feel the management of the scenic area needs improvement!

    Location: If driving, directly navigate to Wawushan Visitor Center. It's a 3-4 hour drive from Chengdu. Environment: The air is quite good, but it was still quite cold when I went as it wasn't snowing. The autumn leaves are quite beautiful. Value for Money: Not very cost-effective. The weather wasn't great when I went, and the entrance fee was quite expensive.

    Mount Emei is the sacred site of Samantabhadra Bodhisattva, and it's worth a visit. The high-speed rail journey from the station to Leidongping takes about 1 hour and 40 minutes. After getting off, it's about a 30-minute hike (there are monkeys along the way) to the cable car station. The cable car takes 3 minutes to ascend the mountain, followed by a 10-minute hike to the Golden Summit. A visit to the Golden Summit takes about 1 hour. The road from Leidongping to Wannian Temple is under construction until the end of the year, so the bus service and the Wannian Temple cable car are suspended. Currently, only the Leidongping-Huanglong Visitor Center-Wuxiangang bus service runs intermittently, but there may be at least a 30-minute wait when there are few passengers. The journey from Leidongping to Wuxiangang takes about 2 hours. Arriving at the Monkey Nature Reserve in the afternoon, I didn't see a single monkey.

    It's a bit chilly this time of year, but the scenery is still beautiful. The lake water is azure, and a stroll along the shore under the warm sun is very pleasant. Many migratory birds are spending the winter in the lake.

    This attraction is recommended for those who cannot revisit Tibet due to altitude sickness. The shuttle bus takes you to the highest point within the scenic area, and you can explore from one stop to another without having to walk much. A hot spring foot bath costs 35 yuan per person and includes a disposable towel. I even ate two hot spring eggs!

    There's a place called Daocheng, you absolutely must go there with your loved one! Hahaha, the altitude fluctuates wildly, so be sure to prepare well to avoid altitude sickness. Altitude sickness causes a throbbing headache and is very uncomfortable, which will definitely affect your enjoyment of the scenery. If you can, you should definitely try the Vajra Line (a scenic route), and Milk Lake and Five-Color Lake are definitely worth seeing!

    Since we entered the panda base in the afternoon, most of the pandas were sleeping, so we didn't see many. If I come again, I should go to the panda base to see the pandas in the morning and then go to the zoo in the afternoon. The scenery in the canyon was just average.
