Things to do in Liangshan Prefecture

The Earth Forest is a less-visited scenic area, not crowded with tourists. It remains pristine and undeveloped, featuring a maze-like layout and pavilions for relaxation throughout. We encountered some Yi children selling water chestnuts they grew themselves. The water chestnuts were very fresh, cheaper than in Chengdu, and incredibly sweet. We bought two bags and even helped the children promote some more. Some tourists shared their snacks with the children. A man from Inner Mongolia, unable to carry water chestnuts himself, gave some money to the youngest girl – it was such a heartwarming scene!

🧡Baihetan Hydropower Station is the epitome of my country's hydropower technology. Its construction has overcome world-class problems such as complex geology, high dam earthquake resistance, million-kilowatt units, and intelligent temperature control. It is known as the "Hydropower Everest" and is a "powerful weapon" with hard-core strength in my country. 💙The power station is located at the junction of Ningnan County, Sichuan and Qiaojia County, Yunnan. It is a high mountain with deep cuts. The mountains on both sides are steep and the slope of the mountain is more than 60 degrees. In order to adapt to the narrow river valley terrain, the dam body adopts a hyperbolic thin arch dam with a dam height of 289 meters and a dam crest arc length of 709 meters. The maximum head exceeds 200 meters, the total installed capacity is 16 million kilowatts, the annual power generation is 62.4 billion kilowatt-hours, it can replace 19.68 million tons of standard coal per year, and reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 51.6 million tons. It is a model of global clean energy engineering. 🩷The Baihetan Hydropower Station is waiting for you here, with steep cliffs, howling wind, bright sunshine, and vast river water. The dam is like a white crane flapping its wings, shining brightly in the magnificent canyon scenery of the Jinsha River, becoming more and more charming. You can't resist its beauty.

In Xixi, about 15 kilometers south of Xichang City, Liangshan Prefecture, Sichuan Province, there is a mysterious place hidden - Anha Yi Village Immortal Cave. It is like a bright pearl forgotten in the world, with its beautiful and charming scenery and various karst scenes.

There's a small island across from Lugu Lake's Daluoshui Pier. There's a temple on the island. The scenery is nice on a good day, but I wouldn't recommend it if the weather isn't good. Personally, I think the value for money is average. You can choose based on your preferences.

The museum was very big and a bit far from downtown. It’s still under construction but all the buildings we went very interesting and you need few hours just to discover all the spots. Very modern architecture and many interesting information. I really enjoyed and was happy to find that in this small town there is a such nice museum. Recommended 10/10
