Basic introduction of Gaoligong Mountain

Gaoligong Mountain is a famous tourist attraction in the alpine valley of Nujiang Lisu Autonomous Prefecture.

Gaoligongshan National Nature Reserve is located on the west bank of Nujiang River. The nature reserve is 9 kilometers wide from east to west and 1.35 kilometers long from north to south, with a total area of1.2000 hectares. The mountains are steep and the peaks and valleys crisscross from north to south. It has a very typical vertical landscape of natural geography in high mountains and valleys and rich and diverse animal and plant resources.

This is a pearl in Hengduan Mountain area, with a forest coverage rate of 85%. The complex topography and disparity of ecological environment in high mountains and valleys provide favorable bottom-up conditions for all kinds of animals and plants. The huge mountain of Gaoligong Mountain blocked the invasion of the northwest cold current, kept the warm and humid airflow in the Indian Ocean, and made the nature reserve with low latitude and high altitude form a typical subtropical climate. At the elevation of 16002800 meters on the east and west slopes, it is the main part of the nature reserve, connecting the eastern Himalayan region, forming the most striking primitive broad-leaved forest area in China. The forest resources here are extremely rich, and rare plants can be seen everywhere. There are azaleas, which are the largest azaleas in the world for more than 500 years. There is Taiwania flousiana, an ancient national first-class protected rare tree species, relict plant, known as the green birthday girl; There are Yunnan cherry blossom original species, Yunnan Nanshan tea original species and other rare tree species, which are the forests where rare tree species gather in China.

The Hengduan Mountains, which runs through the north and south, is called the North-South Fauna Corridor by zoologists. Known as the birthplace of mammalian ancestor differentiation. There are all kinds of wild animals living in nature reserves, including 30 kinds of wild animals protected by the state. The antelope, as famous as the giant panda and Yunnan golden monkey, is an ancient protozoan in Gaoligong Mountain. There are also gibbons, lazy monkeys, langurs, langurs, bears, red-faced monkeys, black musk deer, clouded leopards, golden cats and civets.

In the center of the nature reserve, Yaojiaping Forest Tourism Resort has been built. The resort is located at an altitude of 2,540 meters, 2 1 km from Lushui County and 42 km from Pianma Port, with convenient transportation, which is the only way from Liuku to Pianma. Due to the diversity of forest types and the vertical distribution of vegetation in nature reserves, you can learn about the climate and scenery of Gaoligong Mountain in one day in Yaojiaping. Here you can see the main ridge of Gaoligong Mountain, just like the Great Wall of Ice and Snow, and you can also see the double waterfalls of Dishui River, which is known as the dart of Yin landscape. Climbing up the mountain, you can reach Siming Lake in alpine glacial lake. At present, the daily reception capacity of the resort is about 200 people, which can provide accommodation for 60 people, and there are song and dance performances and handicraft exhibitions of various ethnic groups in Nujiang. The forestry department of Lushui County has also established a seedling breeding base of Taxus chinensis, a rare tree species in Gaoligong Mountain, near the resort. In the hot summer of the canyon, it has become the most ideal summer resort.
