Longzhou Mountain
龙肘山
A high mountain on the border of Miyi and Dechang, known for its tens of thousands of mu of spring azaleas and winter snowscapes. It is a prime spot for flower-viewing and mountain hiking in Panxi.
Longzhou Mountain lies in the northeast of Miyi County. Its main peak rises to about 3,500 meters, and it is a high mountain on the eastern side of the Anning River Valley. The summit meadows and azalea forests spread widely. Between April and May each year, tens of thousands of mu of alpine azaleas bloom. In winter, snow occasionally falls, creating a striking contrast with the sunny valley below, which is known for its health resorts. The mountain roads are narrow with many bends, so an off-road vehicle or a chartered car is recommended. It gets cold at the top, so bring a warm jacket. Admission varies, so check on site. Plan for half a day to a full day.
Opening hours
All day (roads may close in snowy winter weather)
