Introduction

The Lushan and Qionghai Scenic Area complement each other and are renowned for their beauty as "the best scenery in southern Sichuan." Tourists can connect the two locations and cross them in one day, making it suitable for travelers seeking a hiking experience. For centuries, multiple beliefs such as Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism have coexisted on the mountain, while the Yi Slavery Museum at the foot of the mountain presents the magnificent history and culture of the Yi people to visitors. Guangfu Temple is also a must-visit for many pilgrims. In addition, the longest slot slide in the southwestern region, the "Dryland Sled," is also a major attraction, allowing adventurous travelers to experience the excitement of high-speed sliding. When reaching the viewing platform at the top of the mountain, visitors will overlook the beautiful scenery of Qionghai and Xichang City. During the ascent, tourists also have the opportunity to get up close and personal with the wild monkeys in the mountain, and have an unforgettable intimate encounter with the wildlife.
