The Soma flowers bloom on Luoji Mountain
Yes, I am at Luoji Mountain, and I have fallen in love with the Soma flowers here!
Luoji Mountain spans across Xichang City, Puge County, and Dechang County in Liangshan Prefecture, Sichuan Province. Stretching nearly a hundred kilometers from north to south, it is named 'Luoji Mountain' because its shape resembles the ancient girl's snail-shaped bun.
Luoji Mountain is also famous for its more than 30 varieties of wild azaleas that cover the mountains. May and June are the best months to visit Luoji Mountain to enjoy the azaleas.
As we walk along, we enjoy the flowers all the way, and the profusion of blossoms makes one's heart bloom with joy and happiness beyond control...

Guabizhong Hot Spring--Luojishan Ninety-nine Miles Hot Spring Waterfall
The Ninety-nine Miles Hot Spring Waterfall is located in Qiaowo Town, Puge County, Liangshan Prefecture, more than 60 kilometers away from Xichang city area. Due to the many bends in the mountain roads and the presence of many large vehicles, it is estimated that the journey will take about 100 minutes.
The waterfall flows with hot water, and you can bathe in the hot springs on the edge of the cliff. There is a small scene every mile, and a wonder every nine miles, totaling ninety-nine scenes, hence the name Luojishan Ninety-nine Miles. It is a waterfall group that spans more than two hundred meters, composed of dozens of waterfalls of varying sizes. The highest waterfall has a drop of fifty meters, and the 40-degree hot spring water flows down from the mid-mountain cliff, falling into each natural pool. When you first enter, it feels like stepping into a fairyland. It is worth mentioning that the hot spring waterfall is in the form of cascades, so the force of the waterfall water hitting the body is just right. There is also a cave hot spring, where water and fire coexist.
The hot springs among the green forests and fields are truly beautiful to the extreme, especially the hidden second passage at the entrance staircase. Friends who are physically fit and do not suffer from claustrophobia can go in. Diving through it, you can reach another space, giving a sense of achievement in exploring the unknown.
There are not many pools, but it is still recommended to go when there are not many people, to better experience the unity of heaven and man. Also, the ticket price varies depending on the time slot you enter the hot springs, so everyone can arrange their time accordingly. The early session before 9:30 am and the late session after 5:30 pm cost 120, while during the day it is 180.

Just a stone's throw away from Luoji Mountain, there lies a place even more beautiful than the mountain scenery - the Ninety-Nine Mile Waterfall Hot Springs. It's my first time seeing hot springs built right in the midst of a waterfall cluster! Waterfalls are common but maintaining a constant temperature is rare, and hot springs are common but not in the form of waterfalls. The hot spring water, around 40 degrees Celsius, cascades down from the cliffs mid-mountain, and the rugged beauty of nature is truly breathtaking!
This is the largest waterfall hot spring in the world, and also the only cliff hot spring. A hundred different sized hot spring waterfalls form a hot spring waterfall cluster, with water around 40℃ gushing out from the limestone fissures, roaring in the verdant valley, with steam shrouding the area like a fairyland.
The hot spring water of Luoji Mountain is radon hot spring water, which can be directly consumed. The water is rich in radon and metasilicic acid, making it a weak carbonic acid type natural mineral water, with no odd taste upon drinking.
