Luoji Mountain
螺髻山
A well-preserved relic of Quaternary glaciers, with glacier-carved lakes, azalea forests, and Black Dragon Pool. Cable cars take you up to the high-altitude viewing areas.
Luoji Mountain lies on the border between southern Xichang and Puge County. Its main peak rises to 4,359 m, and it takes its name from a shape that resembles a young woman's hair bun (luoji). It is one of the most complete Quaternary glacial relict areas in China, with dozens of glacier-carved lakes. Black Dragon Pool, Hand-in-Hand Lake, and other lakes shine emerald green, and large swaths of azaleas bloom in spring and summer. The scenic area is mainly entered from the Puge side, where you can take sightseeing buses and cable cars up the mountain. It is about 1.5 hours by car from Xichang. Temperatures vary greatly at high altitude, so bring a warm jacket. Check the official scenic area announcements for tickets, cable car services, and opening status.
