💖Dear friends, I'm about to introduce a super stunning place! It's the Longtoushan Grand Cliff located in Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan Province. This place was once featured on the cover of 'Chinese National Geographic' magazine and is acclaimed as 'the edge of the Earth'! 🌍💥 🚗🌄The Longtoushan Grand Cliff is situated at the border of Meigu County and Leibo County, at the tail of the Hengduan Mountains on the edge of the Tibetan Plateau. Standing here, overlooking the nearly 90-degree cliff and the drop of up to 1200 meters, feels like standing on the edge of the world. The sense of awe is truly indescribable! 😲👏 🏞️The geomorphology here is distinctive, with the surface of the mountain being a saddle-shaped plateau that resembles a rectangle. A river flows through the saddle, gently rising to the plateau at an altitude of 4000 meters. When you look towards the southeast, the summit of Longtou Cliff is 3500 meters above sea level, with an imposing presence that is truly awe-inspiring! 💪🌅 🚗Regarding the route, I suggest this itinerary: Depart from Chengdu, take the expressway to Mabian, then follow the G348 national highway to Meigu. On the second day, leave Meigu city about 2KM, pass by Yiqian Bridge, take the 009 township road, and head to Bagu Township Sanganding Gu Xi Hope Primary School. From there, you will see the Huangmaogang Wind Farm in Meigu, Sichuan, and finally arrive at the Longtoushan Grand Cliff! 🚗💨 😍All in all, the Longtoushan Grand Cliff is truly a place worth visiting.

Longtoushan Great Cliff is located at the junction of Leibo, Meigu, and Zhaojue counties in Liangshan Prefecture, Sichuan, on the edge of the Tibetan Plateau. It runs east-west, with the highest altitude over 3,700 meters and the lowest at 960 meters. Some call it 'the end of the world,' while others refer to it as 'the edge of the earth'. The Great Cliff of Longtoushan is dozens of kilometers away from Leibo County Town. With the cliff becoming popular on the internet in recent years, many people drive from other places to visit, especially recently, with a significant increase in self-driving tourists. Sometimes, dozens of vehicles arrive in a single day, and the highland meadows have been damaged by the vehicles. In August 2022, several departments in Leibo County, Liangshan Prefecture, Sichuan, issued a notice to implement long-term closure and control over the Aha Haluo Great Prairie and the Longtoushan Great Cliff area within the Sichuan Mami Ze Provincial Nature Reserve. The Great Cliff is located in the Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture, with a strong ethnic atmosphere, making the travel experience distinct. The top of the mountain offers the scenery of the Aha Haluo Great Prairie, and the journey provides a good view. Since it is a prairie, the roadbed is generally good. As long as you have an off-road vehicle, you can basically find your own way up, following the tire tracks. Once at the top, the view of the cliff is worth the trip, with the prairie, sea of clouds, and a 90-degree, 1,200-meter-deep vertical cliff that is unforgettable. The scenery of Leibo Great Cliff is genuinely beautiful, but now it requires sufficient physical strength to visit. Tip: Currently, due to environmental protection, the Great Cliff has been indefinitely closed to the public. If you want to go up now, you can only hike from the broken road, take a ride with locals, or go up with the wind farm work vehicles. There may be no other options.
