About Laojunshan Mountain

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



Mainly in structure of volcanic lava, Laojun Mountain has gone through the 4th IA, which left it with many landforms, such as horns, glacial cirques, glacial gorges and glacial lakes. Under the effect of permanent freezing and thawing, rocks covered by the ice are destroyed by cracking, efflorescing and denudating. Chipped rocks swept by melted snow and rain roll down with the water and pile around horns or in gorges. Year after year, they become thicker and thicker and, under gravitation, move down as a whole, forming rock sea, which becomes a special landscape of Laojun Mountain.



Laojunshan Mountaion area ishas been part of the Three Parallel Rivers Region , which was designated as World's Natural Heritage Site by UNESCO. This mountain region is also diverse in minority groups such as Lisu, Naxi, Pumi , Bai, Yi, etc. May, June and July are good seasons to see wild flowers like rhododendrons in thise mountain area.



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