Dimaluo Village
迪麻洛
A Tibetan and Nu village deep in the Bailuo Snow Mountains, with a Catholic church and high mountain pastures. It is the starting point for trekking across the Biluo Snow Mountains.
Dimaluo Village lies in Pengdang Township of Gongshan County, in the Dimaluo River valley, a tributary on the east bank of the Nu River. Tibetan, Nu and Lisu people live here together, and the village preserves a century-old Catholic church and traditional wooden houses. It is the starting point of the classic hiking route “Dimaluo – Biluo Snow Mountains – Lancang River (Cizhong/Yongzhi)”, which takes 3–4 days and requires a local guide and pack animals. Even without trekking, the river valley's farmland and snowy mountain views make it worth a half-day visit. It is about 30 km from Bingzhongluo, and the mountain roads have many tight bends, so hiring a car is recommended.
