    I went there twice in two days. Yesterday, it rained, so I climbed up. Today, I went back again specifically for the slide. Here's a summary: 1. The cable car only reaches Guangfu Temple, which is halfway up the mountain, not the summit! 2. There are four options for getting up the mountain. One is to climb up, which takes about 20 minutes and isn't tiring. Even children as young as eight or nine can make the climb on their own. The second option is to take the cable car, but I personally don't think it's worth it. The third option is to drive to Guangfu Temple, but there's limited parking up there, so getting there early is better. The fourth option is to take a bus from the front entrance that goes up the mountain for 5 yuan. 3. Guangfu Temple is full of monkeys. Don't hold peanuts in your hands when you eat them, as they'll snatch them. I was robbed, and I was terrified. 4. The slide down the mountain is really fun. You can climb up and take the slide down. It's 40 yuan one way, and it's quite thrilling. The kids had a blast. 5. The cable car and slide are located separately from the mountain climb; it takes about 8-10 minutes to walk there. There's a bus to Guangfu Temple near the climb up.

    Passing through Xichang, we visited Qionghai Lake, located in Xichang City, Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan Province. It is the second largest freshwater lake in Sichuan Province. Anciently known as Qiongchi, it is a rift lake from the Early Pleistocene, formed approximately 1.8 million years ago. Xichang, the capital of Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture, is best known as a satellite launch site and for Qionghai Lake, which circumferentially spans over 30 kilometers.

    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!

    Buying tickets online was very convenient, but the entrances to the scenic area weren't clearly marked, leaving me unsure of which way to go! The buses to the scenic area were all private minibuses with no clear boarding points, making the management seem rather chaotic. The scenic area itself was still very fun and worth visiting! It was my first time soaking in the waterfall hot springs; the waterfalls were spectacular, and the scenery was beautiful! However, there were still no clear maps of the scenic area, and you had to climb up to find the location of each pool! Overall, I feel the management of the scenic area needs improvement!

    Overall, it was alright. Buying tickets through Ctrip was very convenient; you could just scan your ID card when you arrived at the park. The only downside was that the cable car tickets were monopolized by other ticketing platforms, so you couldn't buy them together. Also, it took an hour just to get into the park by car. Fortunately, the scenery was worth it.

    Location: If driving, directly navigate to Wawushan Visitor Center. It's a 3-4 hour drive from Chengdu. Environment: The air is quite good, but it was still quite cold when I went as it wasn't snowing. The autumn leaves are quite beautiful. Value for Money: Not very cost-effective. The weather wasn't great when I went, and the entrance fee was quite expensive.

    Lugu Lake was incredibly beautiful, even better than expected. The staff throughout the scenic area were incredibly welcoming, especially the mother and daughter who rowed the pig trough boat at Wuzhiluo Wharf. Their service was incredibly warm and attentive, leaving our whole family with a truly wonderful experience! Parking at every attraction in the scenic area was incredibly convenient and mostly free. Great review!

    If you have time, I highly recommend visiting Niubei Mountain. Check the weather forecast beforehand; you might be able to see the sunrise over Gongga Snow Mountain (golden mountain) and a beautiful sea of ​​clouds (sunset and sunrise) in one trip. The hotel rooms have oxygen concentrators, electric heaters, and air conditioning, which is relatively high-end for a mountain at an altitude of 3600 meters.

    It's a bit chilly this time of year, but the scenery is still beautiful. The lake water is azure, and a stroll along the shore under the warm sun is very pleasant. Many migratory birds are spending the winter in the lake.
