Hailuogou Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)

On the way from Moxi Town to Kangding, you can see a large red rock beach, which is spectacular in the middle of the mountain! The red stone here is bright red, and it continues to follow the valley and is magnificent. Every year from October to November, the red leaves of the mountains are very beautiful. The best shooting location here is the location in the red stone forest of Sun Wei and Deng Chao Station in Painting Wall! Traffic: At present, there is no public transportation mode from Hailuogou to Hongshitan. You can only choose to drive by car or chartered. The chartered car takes 150-200 yuan from Moxi and takes the car 40 from Luding. Yuan / person (Moxi - Luding 20 yuan / person, Luding - Kangding 20 yuan / person) Hailuogou is located at the foot of Gongga Xuefeng, known for low-altitude modern glaciers. The glacier plunges down from the valley and is spectacular! Huge ice caves and steep ice bridges make people into the mythical Crystal Palace. Especially the unparalleled big ice waterfall, which is more than 1000 meters wide and about 1100 meters wide, is more than ten times larger than the famous Huangguoshu Waterfall. It is very beautiful. It is a pity that the season is not right to see the legendary spectacle! The process of climbing the glacier feels that the air on the mountain is particularly good! Transportation: [Shuttle] Chengdu Xinnanmen Bus Station has a direct tour bus to Hailuogou, 9 per day

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.

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.

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.

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.
