The most fun time in Muli

The best time in Muli: Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture has a subtropical monsoon climate. The four seasons in most areas are not clear, but because Liangshan Prefecture is located in the transition zone from Sichuan Basin to Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, and the terrain in its jurisdiction is complex and diverse, its climate difference is manifested in the three-dimensional difference of landform, and the phenomenon of "one mountain divided into four seasons" is very common. The dry season is obvious, warm in winter and cool in summer, with long sunshine in dry season, and the annual average temperature is 14℃ ~ 17℃. The best travel time is from June 165438+ 10 to March of the following year, when the climate is warm and there is no obvious disastrous weather, so it is suitable for travel. In the summer half year, that is, from April to 10 every year, there is more rain, which is often the season with frequent mudslides and flash floods. However, the most distinctive local Torch Festival (March every year) is in this season, so visitors here should pay more attention to the local weather.

Muli, Sichuan, a relatively unfamiliar name, has an unknown and amazing beauty. The scenery in Muli belongs to plateau scenery, with blue sky and white clouds, fresh wind and pleasant climate. It borders Daocheng and Litang in the north and Zhongdian and Lijiang in Yunnan in the west. It belongs to a typical alpine canyon landform, with high terrain in the northwest and low terrain in the southeast, with an average elevation of 3 100 meters. Due to the large relative temperature difference, climate, soil and vegetation show obvious vertical changes. It is said that there are four seasons in one mountain and ten miles in different days.

The scenery in Muli consists of forests, rivers, alpine waterfalls, lakes and snow peaks. Because little is known about Muli, its scenery gives people the feeling of being wild, primitive and uninhibited. On the other hand, the forest is rich in wildlife. In June and July, the trees are full of wild azaleas of various colors. 10 September and June, Muli is charming in autumn, which is an excellent tourist season. Because it is completely primitive, this is the latest scenic spot route for photographers and backpackers, which is better than Daocheng Aden.

There are many peaks.

There are many mountains in Muli, and there are more than 900 peaks above 4000 meters above sea level. The highest peak is the sacred peak of the three brothers Xinren, and there are many magical legends, namely Xinren, Jiang Bieyong and Chalang Duojie. Among them, Gongga Snow Mountain (Chalangduojie), located in Qila Village, Shuiluo Township, is the most famous tourist attraction.

Magical fairy water, faint Tchami water, unfathomable caves, azaleas all over the mountains, natural Longkou Waterfall, sacred sea on the mountainside, snow-capped mountains and sky scenery are fascinating. Joseph flock, an American botanist, described these landscapes in his travels, leaving a lot of words and photos about the forest, which inspired British writer james hilton to seek creative inspiration. The word Shangri-La appeared in his work The Lost Horizon.

Waterfalls are like runaway wild horses.

Yunnan Fort Waterfall is located in Shawan Township, where vegetation protection is quite complete. On the mountainside, shaded by green trees, a waterfall runs down like a runaway wild horse, forming a strange two-stage waterfall and a mist that goes straight into the sky. Residents nearby have the custom of turning water here every year.

There are more than a dozen natural and beautiful plateau lakes in Muli, the most famous of which are Ding Dong Haizi, Cunduo Haizi (Changhai), Nido Haizi and Basang Haizi. In spring, mountains and lakes are full of flowers; In summer, the green lake is connected with the sky; In late autumn, a piece of golden color is reflected in the lake, and wild ducks play leisurely; In the middle of winter, the mountains are covered in silver.

Monkeys haunt and play with people.

The forest resources in the forest area are extremely rich. Primitive forest area, towering ancient trees, covering the sky, tall and straight Chinese fir forest, dense and tall pine forest, dense layers of hard broad-leaved forest.

The apes on both sides of the strait can't stop crying, and the poetic feeling of canoeing over Wanzhong Mountain makes people feel relaxed and happy.

The unique marriage customs of Xu Mi people.
