In the heart of Liangshan, Sichuan, there lies a corner forgotten by time—Puge Haikou Ranch. Here, there is no hustle and bustle, only tranquility; no crowds, only romance. It's like a pearl dropped on the plateau, waiting to be discovered by travelers. Encountering Flower Seas In April, Haikou Ranch becomes a paradise of Suoma flowers. These "hero flowers" in Yi people's hearts bloom freely in the spring breeze—pink, snow-white, light purple... They form magnificent carpets across the grasslands, where yaks and sheep leisurely stroll, appearing as nature's most beautiful embellishments. As the breeze passes, the fragrance of flowers fills the air, intoxicating visitors. Lakes and Mountains In the southwest direction of the ranch lies a highland lake. The water is clear as a mirror, reflecting the blue sky, white clouds, and distant snow-capped mountains. On the grassland by the lake, wildflowers bloom, creating a beautiful contrast with the water. You can sit by the lake, quietly appreciating this natural landscape painting, feeling the serenity and beauty of the plateau. Yi Culture Haikou Ranch is not only a gift of nature but also a place where Yi culture is preserved. Here, you can see Yi people dressed in traditional costumes, warmly welcoming visitors. They sing and dance around bonfires, sharing traditional Yi cuisine, allowing you to experience the unique charm of Yi culture. Travel Tips The journey to Haikou Ranch is somewhat distant, but the scenery along the way is absolutely worth it. It's recommended to plan your itinerary in advance and prepare enough food and water. Although this place is not fully developed yet, it is precisely this primitiveness that gives it its unique charm. Puge Haikou Ranch is an unpolluted pure land, a cleansing experience for the soul. If you long to escape the noise of the city, this is undoubtedly the best choice.

I’ve been waiting to make this post for a year, and finally it’s the season for Soma flowers again! I really recommend it! ! Invincible beauty[Love][Love][Love] "Soma" is the Yi name for azalea. It is the soul flower of Liangshan, symbolizing auspiciousness, kindness and tenacity. ⚠️The above photos were taken on April 27, 2024 (device camera/mobile phone) ❤️Address: Puge Haikou Ranch 💐Flowering period: mid-to-late April to early May (it’s cold this year, so the flowering period is likely to be delayed. Friends who are planning to go there should learn more about it) 🚗From Chengdu: about 550 kilometers, about 8 hours. (It is recommended to drive yourself, or take the train to Xichang and then rent a car. There should be tours available at the end of the month.) 🎊The itinerary of the conversation is as follows🎊: We drove from Chengdu on Friday night and booked accommodation in Qionghai, Xichang. The next day we drove to Haikou Ranch (a 2.5-hour drive). On the way, we passed the "Luoji Jiujiuli Hot Spring Waterfall Scenic Area". Friends who have enough time and are interested can add it to the itinerary. When we get to the destination, we can take some beautiful photos. We are not very good at taking photos, so the photos look average, but the real scene is super beautiful [Cute]! We tried to go up the mountain. The trees on the top of the mountain were taller, older and there were few people. ☕The altitude here is about 3,000 meters, and the road conditions are very good. There is a small section of dirt road, but it is completely fine for a car to go on. ⚠️There is no mobile phone signal, the ultraviolet rays are strong, coffee is sold but no food is sold. Everyone should prepare food in advance, bring a moisture-proof mat, some braised dishes, and have a picnic under the flowers YYDS! !
