Hot Spring Hotel in West Sichuan 🇨🇳

For sure, the reason why you are in Moxi Town is because you want to see the Glacier Park right? So after a long day of walking and climbing at the glacier park, it would be perfect if you can dip yourself into a hotspring pool. We didn't stay in the hotel but we only purchased an entry to their hot spring which was not too bad considering the view that you will be seeing while you enjoy the hotspring. Attractions - Glacier Park Hotels - Gongga Cliff hotspring hotel Food & Restaurants - The hotel has a restaurant on site. Enjoy your Sichuan Trip #mytripvlog #tripblazers #hotspringshotel #sichuan

Wanggangping, Sichuan

So ideal to view Gongga Mountain, also known as od Mountain of Gongga. We visited this mountain via a tour company ‘Panda Discovery’ and everything was perfect. The cable car is the steepest in Sichuan and you feel the atmosphere around changing as you go higher into the mountain. The bed of clouds made you feel like you were in heaven. #gonggamountain #sichuan #chengdu #chengdutravel #snow Mountain

Gongga East Slope - Hailuogou!

Gongga East Slope - Hailuogou!

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.

Hailuogou Glacier Tongue 2850m asl
lucaworldtraveler

Hailuogou Glacier Tongue 2850m asl

City Gate Cave (photo1): is part of the glacier tongue (see next) and is a big cave exit of the glacier underground river, at 2850m. It is the lowest point of the Hailuogou Glacier. Glacier Tongue (photo1 and 3): it ends at 2850m above sea level and it is is exactly nera the view point (you are not allowed to walk on it). It is 8km long and 0.3-0.7km wide and 40-300m thick. Attention! most people don’t know where is it because they expect a ice color, but is just there in a grey color, like wearing mimetic clothes! Crescent Lake (photo 2): the water coming from the glacier seeps from underground and form a natural lake that has a shape similar to a crescent, from here the name. Another good place to see the lake is from the cable way. How to get there? from N.3 Campsite (2940m asl) hike up on a nice pathway #lucaworldtraveler

Up to the 3600m Glacier in Hailuogou
lucaworldtraveler

Up to the 3600m Glacier in Hailuogou

this is the only way to get to the top of the glacier at 3600m asl, that is called N. 4 Campsite (there are 4 campsite in Hailuogou Forest Park). The journey provide an amazing view over the glacier, maybe even better that the one you get at the top station! From the cable car you can admire the Glacier Tongue, the Crescent Lake, the City Gate Cave, and the beautiful mountains. How to get to the cableway station? The only way is by tourist shuttle bus from the entrance or from the other campsites. You can also hike up. You have to arrive at Ganheba than get the ticket and up (weekend, public holidays and summer season many people, be patient!). #lucaworldtraveler

Mt Gongga Hailuogou Glacier 3600m Sichuan

a stunning view over snow mountain Gongga with its peak at 7556, Mt Zhongshan (6800m), Mt Shenying, Silver Peak, N.1 world famous Hailuogou Glacier, N.2 and N.3 Glacier, glacier ice waterfall and glacier tongue…all of this at the campsite n.4 which is at 3600m above sea level. Belong to the subalpine cold temperature zone and coniferous forest. How to get there? The only way is by a cable car from Ganheba - Campsite 3. Hailuogou Glacier Forest Park is a National AAAAA Tourist Attraction in Luding County, 290km from Chengdu and 49 to Kangding City. Covering 350 hectares at the east slope of Mount Gongga (highest mountain in Sichuan Province). In one area you can find: glacier icefall drifting vertically, multilayered primitive forest of diverse verdant trees, gorgeous snow mountain peaks, hot springs, red rocks, alpine lakes, sea of clouds, rare animals. It has a quite large altitude difference of over 6000m and it holds 70 hectare of wild forest, 7 vegetation zones and 7 soil zones…it is said that is unique in the world! … and with more than 4880 plant species from subtropical to frigid zones. The closest place to stay is Moxi Ancient Town, where the Tourist Center is also located. Many hotels and restaurants available. I spent 2 full days visiting the Glacier Park and was just enough. The place is huge and there are shuttle busses between campsites (there are 4 campsites + cableway)…I suggest to the take the bus only on the way up, than hike down hill, in this way you can admire the nature and avoid the tourists! #lucaworldtraveler

It is one of the best places in Hailuogou, few tourists walk this path…you are completely immerse in the nature…and you can admire different trees shapes, read interesting signs about the animal living there or the vegetation.
