Have you heard of the mysterious Heizhugou?

**Heizhugou: A Hidden Fairyland, Exploring the Enchanting Realm at 30°N Latitude** **—The Primitive Allure of China's "Bermuda Triangle"** --- ### **【Beyond the Mist Lies Another World】** This mysterious landmark at 30°N latitude is hailed as "China's Bermuda Triangle"— **Heizhugou**, a hidden paradise where 96% of the land is covered by primeval forests. Stepping inside feels like entering an ancient myth: - **Perpetual mist** swirls like the sleeves of celestial beings; - **Ancient trees** with tangled roots and thickets of arrow bamboo occasionally reveal traces of pandas; - **Waterfalls** cascade down cliffs, their thunderous roar echoing through the valleys like the growls of dragons and tigers. **"Summer at the foot of the mountain, ice at its peak—experience four seasons in a single day."** Here, time seems to be redefined by nature. --- ### **【Four Seasons in Heizhugou, Each a Fairyland】** **🌿 Spring · Rhododendrons in Full Bloom, Painting the Mountains** - Millennia-old alpine rhododendrons dye the sky red, while dove trees bloom like white pigeons taking flight; - The azure waters of Big and Small Rhododendron Pools mirror the flowers, resembling emeralds dropped by the gods. **🌳 Summer · An Emerald Wonderland, 20°C of Cool Bliss** - Malilengjiu (Yi language for "Flower Meadow") is carpeted in green, with floating sea of clouds like a dream; - The babbling streams of Honeycomb Rock create a real-life "Green Light Forest." **🍁 Autumn · A Riot of Colors, Poetry in Motion** - Forests blaze with red maples, golden birches, and dark pines, weaving an oil-painting-like tapestry; - The autumn waters beneath the Hand-in-Hand Bridge mirror the sky's rosy hues like glass. **❄️ Winter · A Snowy Fairytale, Serene as Poetry** - Rime crystallizes on Jing Shui Lake, with snow-capped mountains reflected like ink-wash paintings; - The Yi people's sacred hot springs steam mystically, where you can hang prayer plaques for blessings. --- ### **【Must-Experiences: Where Wild Meets Romantic】** 1. **Explore "Malilengjiu"** - Stroll through alpine wetlands, watch grazing livestock, and spot Yi wooden cabins dotting the landscape. 2. **Adventure into Honeycomb Rock** - Trek through primeval forests, listen to babbling brooks, and encounter troops of macaques. 3. **Soak in Glacial Hot Springs** - Heizhugou's hot springs (48-62°C) wash away fatigue, offering geothermal healing under a starry sky. 4. **Conquer Waheiluohuo** (Undeveloped, for adventurers only) - At 4,000 meters, gaze at Gongga Snow Mountain and witness sea of clouds with Buddha's Halo. --- ### **【A Taste of Yi Cuisine】** - **Tuo Tuo Rou (Chunky Meat)**: Boldly cooked mountain goat, dipped in Yi spices—utterly soul-stirring; - **Spicy Chicken**: Charcoal-grilled, numbing and fragrant, best paired with "Pao Shui Jiu" (fermented liquor); - **Buckwheat Cake**: Baked in fire ash, dipped in wild honey—a perfect blend of bitter and sweet. --- ### **【Practical Guide】** 📍 **Location**: Ebian Yi Autonomous County, Leshan, Sichuan 🚗 **Transport**: 3.5-hour drive from Chengdu / High-speed rail to Leshan, then transfer by bus 🎫 **Ticket**: Peak season ¥80 (includes Malilengjiu and Honeycomb Rock) ⏰ **Best Season**: Stunning year-round; May-October ideal for summer retreat ⚠️ **Note**: Some areas are undeveloped—hire a guide; bring anti-slip gear in winter. --- **"If there’s a fairyland on earth, it must look like Heizhugou."** —Every wisp of mist, every tree here whispers tales of antiquity. Are you ready to step into this realm of mystery? (Suggested visuals: Aerial shots of misty forests + Yi maiden in red dress + Steaming hot springs) --- **Sources**: Heizhugou Scenic Area official website and Leshan cultural tourism materials.
