The seriously underestimated niche secret place in western Sichuan - Laba River in Luye Wonderland

The seriously underestimated niche secret place in western Sichuan - Laba River in Luye Wonderland Laba River is just one of the relatively unknown ravines in Ya'an. As Ya'an is located on the edge of the Sichuan Basin, it is surrounded by mountains on three sides except the east. Due to the terrain and climate characteristics, there is a lot of rainfall, which washes the surface and forms many mountain, ravine and water tourist attractions. The more famous ones are Bifengxia, Longcanggou, Niubei Mountain, etc., but on this trip, Laba River really has few people and beautiful scenery, with mountains, water, deer and monkeys. This is probably the cutest monkey group in Sichuan. transportation It takes 3.5 hours to drive from the south of Chengdu, and the scenic spot is suitable for two days of play. Day accommodation There are three hotels in the scenic area, the Luming Hotel 0.8 kilometers up the east line from the visitor center, the Blue Crystal Hotel at the end of the east line, and the Gongtong Hotel in the middle. The hotel has a free shuttle bus. route After arriving at the scenic spot on the first day, take the east route in the afternoon and stay in the scenic spot at night. On the second day, take the west route and choose whether to get up early and take the cable car to the top of the mountain to watch the sunrise according to your needs. East Route: Watching the water, which is the road from Luming Hotel to Blue Crystal Hotel. Walk along the plank road by the river. The journey is easy, there are small waterfalls, and you can also meet monkeys. There are many purple alpine rhododendrons on the mountain walls on both sides. The water in front of the Blue Crystal Hotel is very beautiful for taking pictures. West Route: View the mountains and animals. Buy a ticket at the sightseeing bus ticket office and take the bus to the cable car station. You can choose to take the cable car to the top of the mountain to view the sunrise and sea of ​​clouds, or you can walk down the mountain from here. I didn’t take the cable car, but walked down the mountain directly. Check-in route: 1. At the Bobo Coffee at the cable car station, you can see the snow-capped mountains. You can have a cup of coffee under the snow-capped mountains. The atmosphere is perfect. 2. Walk 3 kilometers down from Baobao Coffee to the Red Stone Beach station. You must walk these 3 kilometers as the mountains and fields are open and the scenery is nice. When we arrived at the Hongshitan site, there were wild monkeys and sambar deer at the entrance. There were a lot of monkeys with smooth skin, and they were more obedient than the monkeys in Mount Emei. We also saw three deer. Walk another 2 kilometers along the stone road towards the Red Stone Beach and you will see the Red Stone Beach. I personally think it is just average. The most interesting thing is watching the monkeys. 3. Azalea Pond is a few hundred meters down from the Hongshitan Station. When we saw that we had to climb 6.5 kilometers to get to Azalea Pond, we gave up and took a sightseeing bus to Luchi. 4. The Deer Pond is also a very relaxing spot. The scenery is pleasant as you walk in. The mountain road is very beautiful. At the end is the Deer Pond with turquoise water, but no deer were seen. We just took some photos and walked back. 5. Take the sightseeing bus directly from the Luchi Station to the Visitor Center. You can wave your hand to get on the sightseeing bus at any time, and you don’t need to wait at the station.
