Absolutely stunning! I've never seen a hot spring waterfall before!

📍Address: Qiao Wo Town, Pu Ge County, Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture, Xichang City, Sichuan Province (navigate to "Luoji Ninety-Nine Mile Hot Spring Waterfall") 🌋Attraction Overview: As the world's largest hot spring waterfall, the 80°C sulfur spring here cascades down from a 40-meter-high cliff, forming cascading natural hot spring pools. The scenic area combines geothermal hot springs, virgin forests, and Yi ethnic customs. In 2023, it was listed as a "World Geopark" by UNESCO. 📸Top 3 Must-See Spots: 1️⃣ Main Waterfall Viewing Platform (💰Free) It is recommended to arrive before 8:00 am. When the mist is rising, it looks like a fairyland. A telephoto lens can capture the effect of "the Milky Way falling from the sky." 2️⃣ Cliff Hot Spring Pool (💰Free) A private hot spring surrounded by natural volcanic rock, the water temperature is around 42°C, and the view of the terraced fields below is super healing. 3️⃣ Rainbow Slide (💰30 yuan/time) A 300-meter-long glass slide passes through a bamboo forest and ends directly at the hot spring area. 🚗Transportation: ▫️Self-driving: Navigate from Xichang to "Luoji Ninety-Nine Mile." Get off at the Xichang South Exit of the G5 Jingkun Expressway. The whole journey takes about 1.5 hours (parking lot 🅿️ is free). ▫️Public transportation: Take a special bus from Xichang Tourist Distribution Center (departures at 7:30/9:00/11:00, 25 yuan one way). ▫️Local chartered car: 80 yuan per person for a round trip by carpooling (it is recommended to contact customer support in advance for reservations). 🎒Travel Guide: ✔️Recommended 2-day itinerary: Day 1: Main Waterfall → Cliff Hot Spring → Rainbow Slide → Return to Luoji Mountain Town for accommodation Day 2: Luoji Mountain Scenic Area (cable car + Black Dragon Pool) → Return ✔️Ticket combination: Combined ticket for Hot Spring Waterfall + Luoji Mountain 💰168 yuan (40 yuan cheaper than buying separately) ✔️Hidden gem: Hike to the "Fairy Cave" in the back mountain (requires a guide, 50 yuan/person). There are underground hot springs in the cave. 🏨Accommodation Recommendations: ✅ Luoji Mountain Hot Spring Hotel (💰800-1,200 yuan) The only hotel in the scenic area, private hot spring rooms include tickets for two people. ✅ Yi Family New Village Homestay (💰200-300 yuan) Recommended "Cloud Yi House" to experience Yi ethnic cuisine. ❌ Xichang City Accommodation: The round trip takes 3 hours, so it is recommended to stay near the scenic area. 💡Tips from Locals: 1️⃣ Sun protection! Strong ultraviolet rays, it is recommended to bring SPF50+ sunscreen and a sun hat. 2️⃣ Must-try food: Roasted piglet (💰50 yuan/serving) and bitter buckwheat cake at the entrance of the scenic area. 3️⃣ Best photo spot: The viewing platform opposite the waterfall (30-minute walk), drones can be used for aerial photography. 4️⃣ Yi etiquette: Ask for permission before taking photos, and do not touch the totem poles at will. ⚠️Things to Avoid: ① Crowded on weekends, it is recommended to visit on working days (the hot spring pool has a capacity limit of 200 people). ② There is no changing room at the hot spring pool, so it is recommended to wear a swimsuit when entering the park.
