Laojun Mountain

Laojun Mountain

The Laojun Mountain goes hundreds of miles in the area with the highest peak of 4240 meters. 

 

It stands in the center of the Three Abreast-Flowing Rivers, where wayfarers are sure to find great joy in traveling

 

The special location and complete eco-environment make the mountain hide in fogs all year long which seems quite mysterious.

 

This is the best place for wisdom and souls of the human and let everyone believe that all the most beautiful and amazing phenomena will be genuine here.

 

The Laojun Mountain is called "the Ancestors of all mountains in southern Yunnan" because people believe that Lao Zi once concocted medicines of immortality here.

 

Rich alpine vegetation, rare plants and animals, a great number of ice lakes, marvelous karsts and colorful cultures and customs of the Naxi, Bai, Lisu, Pumi, Yi and other ethnic groups all make up of the valuable and special scenery of the mountain.

 

People can go sightseeing from three routes in the mountain. From the north, people can see the abundant plants in the nature and the oldest tree in the world, "Xinzhu Holy Tree". In the middle, we can appreciate the great color, including the red canyon of Liming, the Thousand-tortoise Mountain, azalea forest and the Double Lake. Beginning from the south, people can visit the mysterious lakes, the Ninety-nine Dragon Pool in the mountain.
