娇滴滴Luoji Mountain is a north-south trending mountain range located in Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan Province. It is named for its shape, which resembles the spiral-shaped hair bun of an ancient maiden. The main peak, Bian'e'eha, reaches an altitude of 4354.2 meters (as of 2023). Spanning Xichang, Puge, and Dechang counties, it covers a total area of approximately 2450 square kilometers. The mountain is composed of Sinian sandstone and conglomerate, preserving Quaternary glacial relics such as cirques and glacial grooves. It contains over 50 glacial lakes, the largest of which is Dahai Lake. The mountain exhibits distinct vertical climate characteristics, with vegetation including Yunnan pine forests, fir primeval forests, over 30 species of wild rhododendrons, and alpine meadows, creating a magnificent sea of flowers every May. It is home to national first-class protected plants such as silver-leaf osmanthus and fragrant fruit trees, and is inhabited by rare animals such as red pandas and serows. It is also rich in medicinal herbs such as cordyceps and fritillaria, as well as mineral deposits of gold, silver, and copper. The scenic area includes natural landscapes such as hot spring waterfalls and colorful lakes. The mountain climate is changeable; while riding the cable car up and down the mountain, the sky is blue and the clouds are white, but when you reach Dahai Lake, it's shrouded in mist, offering a unique view. When you first enter the forest, the sun is out, but after a while, it starts to drizzle. The climate here is pleasant, and the scenery is extremely beautiful!
