Tongdian is rich in tourism resources. Tongdian is located at the southernmost tip of the world natural heritage site "Three Parallel Rivers Scenic Area" and is the gateway to the "Three Parallel Rivers Scenic Area". Luoguqing in the town is connected to Laojun Mountain scenic spot in the south and Dayangchang in the north, which is not only rich in animal and plant resources and complete in ecosystem, but also a perfect combination of fully developed Danxia landform and virgin forest. The Bai, Pumi, Yi, Yi and other ethnic minorities living in China have retained a wide variety of primitive literature, dance, music and other cultural arts and simple folk customs. Within 20 kilometers from Huangsong to Xiadian, there are Neolithic cultural sites-Yushuiping Ancient Human Cave and ancient buildings since Ming and Qing Dynasties, such as Kuixing Pavilion in Huangsong, Benzu Temple in Xiadian and Benzu Temple in Fenjiang. In addition, Tongdian is also the birthplace of "Tonglan Riot", and there are memorial sites and monuments of armed riots at that time next to Tongdian Central Primary School.

Tongdian Town is located in the east of Lanping County and the west of Laojun Mountain, which is high in the south and low in the north, forming a wide valley basin. There are gongs and drums in the vicinity. The criss-crossing rocks are as red as Danxia, which is called "Jiliji" by the local Pumi people, meaning red cliffs. There are 18, 36 peaks, such as Hundred Beasts Ridge, Wofo Ridge, Jianfengling and Furong Ridge, with steep cliffs and steep peaks. Arrows and bamboos are densely covered on the mountain. In nine deep and unpredictable valleys, springs gush all the year round, and streams gurgle like nine dragons, winding between peaks and valleys. Rare animals in the reserve, such as Yunnan golden monkey, red panda, leopard, black-necked pheasant and snow chicken, all live here. Luo Guqing is the world of azaleas. At different altitudes, there are more than 60 kinds of rhododendrons, such as Rhododendron, Rhododendron strangulatum and Rhododendron loquat. Rhododendron in the mountains is an ocean of rhododendrons from March to July every year, with different shapes and colors.

Lover dam is the entrance of Luo Guqing, like a big brocade carpet, softly spread in the shade surrounded by mountains. In the middle of the lawn, a stream gurgled down, and the edge of the cliff was like a pair of fir trees. After thousands of years of wind and rain, the roots are bare and coiled around the ground, the crown is straight into the sky, and the trunks are green and stand together, just like lovers whispering. The ancient tea and salt road passes through it, goes up the river and disappears in the vast forest. Hongyan Feng Dan is like a bonfire, which makes the twilight of Lovers Dam more mysterious against the sunset glow.

Two miles away from the scenic spot, there is a Pumi cottage. According to the cloud, Pumi people crossed the Haba Snow Mountain from the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and entered Lanping, which is still the largest village of Pumi people in Lanping. Here, festivals, weddings and funerals still retain many ancient customs, and ethnic customs are colorful. The annual Duanyang Festival is held in Lovers Dam, attracting a large number of Chinese and foreign tourists.
