A scenic drive from Chengdu brings you through the various valleys en route to this magical place...Hailuogou and it's National Park Area. The area wasn't very busy when we visited because of the current epidemic and less people travelling these days. However, the hot springs are still available and ready to use. What a fantastic way to end a long day of trekking up mount Minya Konka and the canyon passes than to come back in the evening and sit in here for a few hours with a few cans of beer. Honestly forgot about the temperature around us because of the wonderful water and steam. Any aches and pains picked up during the day are soothed by spending time in one of these springs. The next morning honestly felt better and ready to go again! 😁😁😁 #hotsprings

⭐Hailuogou 📍Located in the southeastern part of Ganzi Prefecture, Sichuan Province, on the eastern slope of Mount Gongga, it is an extremely high mountain area on the eastern edge of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. 🏔It is the lowest altitude, closest to major cities, and most accessible low-altitude modern maritime glacier in East Asia, forming a comprehensive tourist scenic area with intact primitive forests and alpine boiling, hot, warm, and cold springs. ❄The Hailuogou Glacier, also known as Glacier No. 1, is 14.7 kilometers long and is the longest of the 71 glaciers on Mount Gongga❗️ ❄The Great Icefall, 500–1100 meters wide and 1080 meters high, is the tallest and most spectacular glacier waterfall discovered in China to date❗️ ❄The glacier tongue extends 6 kilometers into the primitive forest, creating a rare landscape where glacier and forest coexist❗️ ♨As is well known, Hailuogou’s hot springs are authentic natural sulfur springs. For those wanting to soak in hot springs, Hailuogou is definitely the right choice! 1. From Chengdu to Moxi Ancient Town takes about 4.5 hours (Tuzi Travel: round-trip ticket 130 RMB/person, usually pick-up at Xin Nanmen or Chengdu East Bus Station, return tickets available on Intercity Travel, driver will pick you up) Travel time is for reference only. 2. Moxi Ancient Town is currently in the off-season with few tourists. It has three streets, including Mao Zedong’s former residence, the Moxi Red Army Long March Exhibition Hall, and the Catholic Church on Moxi Ancient Street (keep going down, there are signs). The town is still under reconstruction due to a previous earthquake, so there are not many shops. 3. Entering the valley: first go to the Visitor Center to take a shuttle bus, which takes about an hour to reach Camp No. 4. Recommended route: Camp No. 4 — round-trip cable car to Ganheba — Camp No. 3 — Dongga Temple — Caohaizi — Visitor Center. 4. Camp No. 4: Take the cable car to see the glacier. Hailuogou has three major glaciers: the largest is Glacier No. 1, which is the Great Icefall. Arrive early to see the golden sunlight on the mountain without fog, and the Wolf Totem (a wolf-shaped natural erosion formation between Glacier No. 1 and No. 2). Mount Gongga is sacred to Tibetans, so there are also a white stupa and Four-Faced Buddha. The cable car descends to Ganheba. Ganheba: Be sure to hike here; the snowy scenery is beautiful, with high and low altitude plank roads (I took the low altitude from p5-7). Note ⚠️ there are macaques here! (They look hungry, eating garbage, and even snatched trash picked up by children, which was hilarious). Hike to Camp No. 3. Camp No. 3: You can take a sightseeing car to Dongga Temple or pay 30 RMB to take the pink electric car to see the glacier tongue (Chengmen Cave) p9; Dongga Temple: p10 Choose to hike to Caohaizi, Caohaizi: On the way, you will pass through a primitive forest with few people and beautiful scenery. If lucky, you might see wild animals. I only saw pheasant footprints and a woodpecker. After reaching Caohaizi, you can take the shuttle bus back to the Visitor Center. The bus runs every half hour. 5. Fees: Entrance ticket 158 RMB/person, cable car 135 RMB/person. Second entry to the valley costs 40 RMB with ID (includes 10 RMB entrance ticket, 20 RMB round-trip sightseeing car ticket, and 10 RMB round-trip cable car ticket covering production and insurance fees). 6. The Visitor Center opens at 8 AM, and staff are on duty at each station p16. If you don’t want to hike and prefer to take the shuttle bus, wait at the station and ask the staff about the vehicle schedule.

Let’s just say we are really lucky! ! The sun is out and I can see the golden mountain in the sun I encountered a free ticket when taking the cable car. The experience of the scenic spot holding activities and limiting the flow of people is simply too good to be true! ! 🚶Personal experience of time-saving and labor-saving route: Take the sightseeing bus 🚌 from the entrance of the scenic area to Camp No. 3—transfer to the cable car 🚡 to Camp No. 4 (for taking photos and playing in the snow)—take the cable car 🚡 back to Camp No. 3 and walk along the plank road to the next supply point: the scenery along the way is so beautiful! Just take a picture and you will be in the ice and snow fairy tale world—take the sightseeing bus to the entrance of the scenic area. 🏠Accommodation: It is recommended to stay in Moxi Ancient Town (right at the entrance of Hailuogou Scenic Area). You can soak in hot springs the night before and climb the snow-capped mountains the next day. Basically, all larger B&Bs have private hot springs. It is worth mentioning that one of our nitpicking friends went to the place where the hot spring is pumped to check and confirmed that it is indeed the town hot spring, not the secondary heating of the boiler. That’s awesome! ps: The road condition from Chongqing to Hailuogou is good, almost the entire journey is on the highway, and the journey takes about 3-4 hours, which is completely suitable for ordinary cars. There are many monkeys in the Hailuogou Scenic Area, but they are definitely different species from the monkeys in Mount Emei. The monkeys here are more friendly and will not approach people. 📣: Hit the key points❗️❗️ 🌟Sunglasses🕶️, sunscreen, lip balm, gloves🧤must bring! 🌟(Body, insoles, hand warmers, mobile phones) all need warmers, we use [Weicon] and it feels pretty good👍 tour

Chengdu self-driving 🚗 is about four hours. It is very convenient to check in, eat and stay in the ancient town. If the weather is good, you can see the Rizhao Jinshan in the ancient town. Unfortunately, we didn’t see it because there was too much fog in the morning. The tourist center is in the town. You can buy tickets online or go directly to the tourist center to take a bus. It seems that you can't drive up to the scenic spot by yourself. The buses are all equipped with anti-skid chains. I personally think that the tourist center is far from the scenic spot. It takes about an hour to ride... If you bring a baby, it is recommended to bring something the baby likes, otherwise the baby may be upset if the time is too long. The ticket price is ￥90/person, round trip 🚌￥70/person, insurance ￥10/person, cable car 135/person‼ ️You can check in advance if there are any activities in the scenic area. We went up to recite red poetry collections for free. It is recommended to check the weather when going to Camp No. 4. If there is sunshine, buy a cable car ticket. You can see Gongga Snow Mountain ⛰ and the sea of ​​clouds from above, which is very beautiful. If the weather is bad and there is no sun ☀, it is not recommended to go up, because it is all foggy and you can't see anything... When you get off the bus, you can buy anti-slip shoe covers for ￥30 a pair. It depends on your personal situation. I personally think the quality is not very good. We bought one and it didn’t work. It may be that there was no ice on the road when we went there. If your shoes are not anti-slip, you can prepare them in advance. You need to take off the anti-skid chains when getting on and off the cable car. You need to buy insurance for 10 yuan to take your baby on the cable car. You can buy it in advance. It is required for ticket inspection~ ‼ ️Hot water is provided, you can bring instant noodles, etc. There is no instant noodles sold there, only grilled sausages, corn 🌽, Xiangpiaopiao milk tea, water, etc. There seems to be only one forest restaurant for eating. We didn't go in, so I don't know if there is any food inside...

November 23-24, CNY 1 tickets! 📍Luding 🌟On the land of western Sichuan, there is a place like a fairyland, which is Hailuogou. It is like a beautiful picture painted by nature with the most delicate brushstrokes and the most magnificent feelings, quietly waiting for the destined people to unveil its mysterious veil. 🌟The world-famous Hailuogou Glacier is like a sea of ice, surging down from the mountains, and wherever it goes, it is conquered by its majestic momentum. Huge ice blocks squeeze and pile up to form various strange shapes, some like swords, pointing straight to the sky, as if to pierce the blue sky; some like castles, with staggered "walls" and "towers", as if they are the palaces of the ice and snow kingdom, making people wonder if there are ice and snow elves living here. 🌟The surface of the glacier, under the sunlight, flashes with a blue light, which is a deep and mysterious color, as if it contains the mysteries of the universe, making people want to get close to it and explore the story behind it. 🌟Moxi Ancient Town is like a simple pearl hidden in the depths of the mountains in western Sichuan, exuding a unique and charming charm. In the center of the ancient town, the Catholic church is even more unique, with its Gothic architectural style forming a sharp contrast with the surrounding western Sichuan dwellings, yet harmoniously blending together.

If you want to see beautiful scenery, you have to go to western Sichuan. In summer, you can see mountains, rivers and flowers, and in winter, you can see snow-capped mountains and rime. It has beautiful four seasons a year. It is indeed the ceiling of domestic tourism. The sun shining on the golden mountain, the cloud waterfall, the sunrise, and the starry sky are really hard to discourage you from visiting. Hailuogou: Selected by National Geographic as one of the "55 Places You Must Visit in Your Life", it is the summit of Mount Gongga, the "King of Mountains in Sichuan", and the fascinating "Gateway to Shambhala".

Hailuogou Chinese courtyard private hot spring homestay experience It takes about 3.5 hours to drive from Chengdu to Hailuogou on weekends, and it is very safe to take a private bath! This B&B is relatively new, and was officially opened in October this year. The entire hotel has 14 rooms. There were 3-4 rooms occupied this weekend. The overall hotel is very quiet (small dogs are allowed) The room facilities are very new. You need to drive to the town for dinner in the evening (about 10 minutes' drive). You can choose to dine in the hotel at your own expense. The hot springs are all natural hot springs with higher temperatures. Babies, be careful not to get burned ⚠️ It is indeed much more comfortable than running in the hot bath at Qingcheng Mountain~ The room price fluctuates slightly between HKD1,000-2,000. This time, the room type was upgraded (Maison). The main difference is the location of the private bath and the view. I personally recommend booking a regular room type for absolute cost-effectiveness. Overall, the stay experience was good. I hope it will be a sunny day next time, it will be even better, and I will take pictures YYDS I didn't go to the Hailuogou Scenic Area this time, which is a bit regrettable. This stay experience score: 80 points

There is a place in Hailuogou called Caohaizi. Many friends may not know that Haizi is a scorpion. In fact, Tibetan areas are far away from the sea. Children in Tibetan areas have a desire for the sea, so they call the lake Haizi. It is. Personally, I like this section very quietly. There are basically no tourists. It is very comfortable to walk around. A lot of interesting mushrooms can be seen along the way, hidden in the trees, the ecology is great, and the naughty little monkeys, but after all, they are wild animals, wild and difficult to tame, or pay attention to safety, dont tease, they drink water Bite the bottle and drink it!

Many people went to the observation deck of the No. 4 camp, and they did not go up. They also felt that the scenic spot was relatively small. In fact, there was a hole in the sky and it was also the embodiment of Hailuogou Buddhist culture. I didn't know that Hailuogou was still a holy mountain of Buddhist culture. It was only this time that I knew that there were not only the four-faced Buddha donated by Thailand, but also the white pagoda, the scriptures and the Mani heap of Tibetan Buddhism. However, for reasons of safety and other reasons, the scenic spot is not allowed to burn incense and worship Buddha. You can use the wish belt or the wishing card to pray with your happiness. On the road, you also have someone selling bergamot. This is very suitable.

Hailuogou is famous for its glacier. It not only has the highest ice waterfall discovered in China, but also the discovery site of the most eastern low-altitude glaciers in Asia. To say that the best place to look at the glacier, it must be the observation deck of the No. 4 camp. Maybe a friend is curious that the attraction will be called Camp No. 4. In fact, Hailuogou used to be a camp for mountaineering, so the scenic spot is also named after it, which is of commemorative significance. The Fourth camp is in danger. It used to be able to climb the glacier. Now it has built a cable car, saving a lot of effort, protecting the glaciers and safety. At present, the No. 4 camp can only be reached by cable car. Friends who want to see the scenery should start early! There may be fog at noon, and you cant see it at all.

The ancient town of Moxi is located between the green mountains of Chongshan and about 1,600 meters above sea level. It is a multi-ethnic gathering place, mainly including 12 ethnic groups including Han, Yi and Tibetan.

The most beautiful place in Yanzigou is 35 snows connected with red rocks stretching for several kilometers. A red smudge in the snow, with the same fiery red maple leaves, is more conspicuous. Although there are railings to protect, look at the snow seals or know that someone has turned over. The redstone here is a biotype. After trampling, it will die. If you take it out, it will also die and turn black, so don't touch it! So that later people can see this scene.
