Highlights

1.

Beautiful primeval forest and river valley at 30° North Latitude. 

If you didn't see it with your own eyes, it's hard to imagine that this place is not only full of blooming flowers, but also has beautiful scenery, making it a great place for lung cleansing and oxygen therapy. Even through the screen, one can feel the oxygen rushing towards them from the Horn River, the emerald green trees, and the icy cold splashing from the deep blue river water.

From the pores of the skin to the touch of the sense of smell, one can clearly feel the "taste" of negative oxygen ions rich in the breeze. The icy and cool feeling makes people feel comfortable, as if every pore has been baptized.

2.

Wild animal kingdom around Chengdu.

There are at least 32 species of animals, including national treasures such as giant pandas, red pandas, water deer, forest musk deer, short tailed monkeys, macaques, and mandarin ducks, antelopes, golden monkeys, leopards, green tailed red pheasants and red bellied pheasants. It has long been famous for wild water deer viewing, water rafting, autumn red leaves appreciation, and so on.

3.

You can go to Jiaoshan Mountain (main peak of Laba River Valley) by the cable car.

There are no dangerous peaks in the Laba River, but there is infinite scenery in the high places, and this is Jiaoshan. Jiaoshan is the main peak of the Laba River Scenic Area, with an altitude of over 3700 meters. It is mainly famous for its ten thousand acres of rhododendrons, ten thousand miles of cloud sea, and ten thousand zhang of golden mountains.

At the Jiaoshan Observation Deck, located at an altitude of over 3700 meters, one can immediately see distant mountain peaks that are level with one's own line of sight. Looking far into the distance, the mountains are winding, and the opposite peak is like a flat boat, appearing small and quiet in the vast sea of clouds, with rolling clouds all around.

At this moment, a red sun slowly rose from the opposite mountain peak, and the outline of the mountain top was clearly delineated. As the morning sun broke free from the mountain top, a thousand feet of rosy light poured onto the sea of clouds, casting a golden veil over this boundless sea of clouds.

4.

Red stone beach is located in a valley at an altitude of 2400m in the scenic area, named after the red color of the stones. The stones here are all bright rust red in color. Under the sunshine, these red stones look very dazzling on both sides of the stream and beside the hiking trail. The rust red substance growing on rocks is an extremely rare algae (lichen complex) that naturally grows on the surface of rocks under suitable humidity, temperature, and climate conditions. After about four to five years, it will die and then regenerate.
