2025 Hailuogou Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in February)

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

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! In addition, I encountered the cinema movie "The Great World", this adventure drama does not rely on special effects, but on the spot, so the big water film is still waiting for the water, this real film is also very Worth looking forward to

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.

Strolling around the ancient town of Moxi, you will see a building of the Republic of China, very beautiful. But if you don't read the words, you really don't know that this building with a cornice is actually a Catholic church. It has a feeling of combining Chinese and Western styles. There is also a Shenque Building next to , which is a two-story, three-story brick-and-brick house. It was originally an auxiliary building of the church. It also became a red attraction. In 1935, the old levy passed through this place. The meeting, showing the bed that the chairman had slept in the past. But this building is an old building. It needs to limit the flow of people. Only ten people are allowed to visit each time. No tickets are required, but you need to register with your ID card.

The ancient town of Moxi is located between the green mountains of Chongshan and about 1,600 meters above sea level.

It is also a strange landscape. This is a church built by a French missionary. The bells that have been heard have been echoing in the ancient town for a century.

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.

The No. 1 glacier in Hailuogou, after overflowing from the grain snow basin, forms a large ice waterfall along the steep slope of the ice sheet at the front edge of the basin. The Da Bing Waterfall is unparalleled in the world, with a height of more than 1,000 meters and a width of about 1,100 meters. It is more than ten times larger than the Huangguoshu Waterfall. It is the most magnificent ice waterfall discovered by China. After approaching the No. 1 Glacier, I found that the non-melting ice of Hailuogou was black. I felt muddy when I touched it. I wrote my name under the snow. I hope that you have not been covered by snow when you go. A lot of people on the road piled up a little snowman, quite cute, and contrasted with huge glaciers.

Red Rock Beach is also the most famous spot in Yanzigou. The red rock beach is about 100 meters away. It is named after the stone red. The stones here are gorgeous rust red regardless of their size. In the sun, these red stones are very dazzling in streams, on hillsides, and in bushes. In fact, the reason why the "Red Rock Beach" stone is red is still a topic that geologists are arguing. Some botanists say that this is because the climate here is suitable for the growth of red mites and attached to the stone. Some biologists say that a lower organism grows on the stone. Some geologists say that the stones here are caused by high mineral content due to special terrain and climate. But in the end, the red stone is only growing in the very clean air of the poster~

Hongshitan, a scenic spot in Kangding Love Song, when this rocky beach came into view, it was full of surprises that the paint was applied, but it was naturally formed without thinking. These marbles scattered in the mountains, especially where the streams flow, are attached to a layer of red algae. Jolly orange algae is rich in carotene and is bright red in the sunlight. Red stone. The reason why Redstone is rare is because the formation conditions are too harsh, not in places where the sun does not reach, and there is no place away from the river. There is no position below 2100 meters above sea level.

The Hailuogou Glacier is the lowest modern maritime glaci in Asia and one of the most accessible glaciers in the world. It takes only 4 hours to drive to Chengdu. Upon arrival, visitors can take the cableway to the top of the glacier and watch the Gongga Mountain, the king of Lushan. In addition to the glacier, Hailuogou has a magnificent red rock beach. Hailuogou Today's glaciers are formed by snowflakes that landed many years ago. Their bodies are snow for centuries, or thousands of years, sometimes even millions of years ago. These snowflakes fall on the cold mountains, only a small amount of melting or not melting at all, which has accumulated tremendous depth after many years or centuries. As the annual snowflake accumulates on the surface, evaporation and melting cause the snow to slowly lose its feathery tip and become tiny ice particles. When the new snow falls on the old surface, it also becomes ice. Thus, the snow cover layer and the ice grain layer are stacked up to such a large thickness that the weight of the upper layer is compressed compared to the lower layer. Under the influence of time and pressure, many small ice particles combine to become larger crystals, and finally merge into larger and stronger ice cubes than the underlying crystals.
