The snow mountain healing spot everyone’s talking about! You must visit this winter

✨【Introduction · A Song of Ice and Fire】 This is not Iceland, yet it boasts the world’s largest hot spring waterfall—Luojiji Jiushiuli, where hundreds of natural springs cascade down a mid-mountain cliff, creating a misty fairyland. At the summit lies a complete Quaternary glacial relic, with dozens of blue-green alpine lakes scattered like emeralds. Within a single day, you can experience the real-life “fire and ice” from warm spring flows to millennia-old glacial lakes. --- 🕘【Best Season】 ▪️ Hot spring waterfall: Open year-round, best in autumn and winter (October to March), soaking in the snow is supremely romantic. ▪️ Hiking and climbing: May to November, stable weather and the lakes are most vibrant. Winter (December to April) may have snow blocking mountain paths. ▪️ Recommended visit: At least 2 days and 1 night (hot springs and glacier park require separate visits and are some distance apart). --- 💰【Core Cost Reference】 ♨️ Jiushiuli Hot Spring: 150 RMB on weekdays, slight variation on holidays. 🗻 Luojiji Mountain Glacier Park: Ticket + sightseeing bus + cable car about 250 RMB per person. --- 🎯【Two Core Experiences】 ❶ Jiushiuli Hot Spring Waterfall (a must-visit!) · Cliff cave pools: Springs hidden behind the waterfall, like a water curtain cave. · Rainbow waterfall pool: Afternoon sunlight refracts rainbows, perfect for photos. · Layered water temperature experience: Pools range from 38℃ to 42℃. · Tips: Go early! Avoid noon tour groups. Limited lockers, pack light. ❷ Luojiji Mountain Glacier Park (hiker’s paradise) · Heilongtan (Black Dragon Pool): The largest glacial lake, water shifts between blue and green with the light. · Xiancao Lake / Xianya Lake: Crystal clear water, wildflowers bloom by the lakeside in summer. · Ancient glacial grooves: Living fossils witnessing Earth’s glacial movements. · Tips: Altitude 3600-4000 meters, proceed according to your ability. 1-2 hours hiking needed from cable car end to the lake cluster. --- 🚗【Transportation and Routes · Why Customized Tours Are Recommended】 ⚠️ Important reality: The hot springs and glacier park are not in the same location, and both routes from Xichang are mountainous, making self-driving time-consuming and exhausting. Public transport is very inconvenient. 🚐 Strongly recommend chartered/custom tours: 1. Seamless connection: Drivers know the routes well, efficiently linking the two main attractions in one day. 2. Time-saving and worry-free: No need to struggle with transfers, especially suitable for families with elderly and children. 3. Flexible adjustment: Quick itinerary changes possible in case of weather shifts. --- 🍢【Food and Surroundings】 · Firepot barbecue: The soul food of Xichang, must-try are small intestines, pork belly, and drunken shrimp. · Yi ethnic cuisine: Try tuotuo meat and sauerkraut potato soup. · Nearby attractions: Combine Luojiji Mountain with Xichang’s Qionghai Lake and Satellite Launch Center for a 3-4 day in-depth trip. --- 🎒【Key Preparations Before the Trip】 · Swimsuit: Essential for hot springs (high price and limited styles inside the park). · Hiking gear: Comfortable non-slip hiking shoes, trekking poles, and windproof jackets needed for glacier park. · Sun protection: High-altitude UV is strong; sunscreen, hats, and sunglasses are must-haves. · Waterproof bags: Protect phones and cameras, especially important when shooting near waterfalls and hot springs. · Altitude sickness prevention: Glacier park is high altitude; bring glucose and oxygen bottles. --- 💎【Exclusive Value of Customized Tours】 · Optimized itinerary: Reasonable planning of hot spring and hiking energy to avoid fatigue. · Ticket assistance: Help with advance booking during peak season to save queue time. · Cultural interpretation: Experienced guides explain Yi culture and the geological wonders behind the scenes. --- 📞 Want to easily unlock the magical journey of “hot springs + glaciers”?
