Puge: Encounter Luoji Ninety-Nine Miles in the Symphony of Ice and Fire

📜 **The "Ice and Fire Secret Realm" Hidden in Western Sichuan** Puge, a secluded small town deep in Liangshan, hides the most stunning natural wonder—the Luoji Ninety-Nine Miles Hot Spring Waterfalls. When the snow mountain’s cascading waterfalls meet the earth’s hot springs, a millennium-old spectacle of ice and fire unfolds here. Legend has it that this is the bathing sanctuary of the Yi ancestors. The hot spring water pours down the cliff, shrouded in mist like a fairyland, healing every restless heart with nature’s "song of ice and fire." 🌿 **Highlights at a Glance** 1️⃣ **The World’s Largest Hot Spring Waterfall Cluster** On the hundred-meter cliff, dozens of hot spring waterfalls hang like silver ribbons, with water temperatures around 40°C year-round. Standing on the wooden suspension bridge and looking up, the hot springs and cold waterfalls intertwine midair, with mist brushing your face, as if stepping into the fantasy world of "Avatar." 💦 **The Yi People’s “Natural Bathing Ground”** Natural hot spring pools formed along the cliff are scattered about. The Yi locals often say, “Soaking once in the Ninety-Nine Miles hot springs can wash away ninety-nine kinds of troubles.” The wildest experience is sitting in the stone basin beneath the waterfall, letting the hot spring water rush down from above like a massage bestowed by heaven and earth. 🌉 **The Ritual of Crossing the Suspension Bridge** The suspension bridge spanning the rushing river is the first gateway to the secret realm. With creaking wooden planks underfoot, the turquoise water rushing below, and green mountains on both sides, every step feels like traveling through a time tunnel. 🌌 **The Romance of the Starry Sky Hot Springs** When night falls, the lights by the waterfall turn on, and soaking in the hot springs, you can look up to see the Milky Way. Amid the rising steam, shooting stars occasionally streak across the night sky. Locals jokingly call this “immortals splashing foot-washing water.” ✨ **Travel Tips** - Best Seasons: Spring and autumn (summer has the strongest water flow, winter offers stunning snow scenes) - Must-Bring Items: Waterproof phone pouch, swimsuit (available at the scenic spot but with limited choices) Puge reminds us with its most primal power: nature’s gifts never need embellishment. Here, hot springs are not delicate pools but the boiling lifeblood of the earth; waterfalls are not just scenery but the symphony of the mountains.
