General presentation
Hailuogou et Moxi
Glacier, humid forest and old street of Moxi unfold under the Minya Konka in a valley marked by earthquakes.
The discovery of Hailuogou and Moxi is built around Glacier de Hailuogou, Old Town of Moxi and Hot Springs of Hailuogou. The stay thus alternates between mountain reliefs, forests, natural spaces and heritage, giving a concrete picture of the destination beyond its only best known site.
See all
For a stay of 2 to 5 days, it is better to balance visits and travel times. Also to be anticipated: temporary restrictions may affect Ganzi districts and Tibetan areas of Sichuan and confirm access to authorities or local agency prior to any reservation. A car is usually the easiest way to connect the different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be verified step by step.

Nature and panorama
Glacier de Hailuogou
A glacial tongue descends very low under the Gongga Shan, over a humid forest with strong altitudinal contrasts. Distances, weather and access conditions must be checked before departure; water, suitable clothing and time margins remain useful, even during the most favorable season.
Place indismissible
Vieille ville de Moxi
A short historic street, a church and wooden houses form the usual base for excursions to the Hailuogou. Collections and remains take time to exceed a mere photographic stop; reserving a sufficient range helps to understand their regional historical context.
Place indismissible
Sources chaudes de Hailuogou
Thermal waters emerge in the glacial valley and feed several basins in the middle of the forest. The season, wind and water level greatly alter the experience; fragile banks and possible local restrictions must also be respected.
